Solved c#visual-studio-2013 windows-forms-designer

I'm trying to add the Windows Media Player component to my solution, but this message is displayed instead.

The following controls were added but are not enable in the active designer. Make sure the controls to add are compatible with the current designer and .NET Framework

I'm using Windows 8.1, Visual Studio 2013 and .NET framework target is 4.5

I copied my DLL to the bin folder too.

I down voted, and close voted, because there is no way to reproduce your problem given the question. This can be fixed by providing implementation details and explaining what the error is. – Mcneely 10/1, 2015 at 16:35

@Mcneely If you are using Windows 8.1 and VS 2013, add wmp.dll to the toolbox and check if that works for you. Do you have Windows SDK installed? – Fenestration 10/1, 2015 at 16:39

I unfortunately use win7. Can you at least post the error text? If you tried to post something, it doesn't show up for me. – Mcneely 10/1, 2015 at 16:41

When You create Windows Forms App there are two ways: (.NET Framework) and (.NET) You should chose Windows Forms App (.NET Framework).

I could suggest you to check if the version of the dll that you have imported is for 4.5 version of framework. Maybe it's for an older version of framework.

If it doesn't help you try following this guide.

As workaround I can suggest you to copy that dll in your bin/debug folder and then add references to the project from your bin.

I've used all the target versions, so I don't think that's the problem. Thanks for downvoting tho... – Fenestration 10/1, 2015 at 16:24

Hey friend, don't worry, I don't have downvoted nothing. – Hexahydrate 10/1, 2015 at 16:29

If I downvote I always leave a comment with the reason. – Hexahydrate 10/1, 2015 at 16:31

@MiguelRipoll Did you try following the steps in the guide that I have attached to the answer? – Hexahydrate 10/1, 2015 at 16:34

Sure, I was using that one. Still stuck on step 3 due to the error. – Fenestration 10/1, 2015 at 16:37

Same, found the workaround in another thread. Thanks for helping anyways. – Fenestration 10/1, 2015 at 16:46
