Hi,

Using 4.2 Final April 16th, 2015

In the VS 2013 designer plugin. When you press Ctrl-C to copy an attribute definition, you get nothing in the clipboard. Right click->Copy does work fine. Picture attached.

Thanks,

Scott

I can't reproduce it. Do you select/highlight the attribute before doing Ctrl+C?

Odd, yes I do. Steps:

Double click the llblgenproj file in the solution explorer in VS. Edit an entity from the LLBLGen Project Explorer. Go to the Code gen info tab In the Element combo select a field Click in the first row of the Attribute definition grid, i.e. the new row placeholder Type something, eg abc Press enter. abc moves to the second row and the top row is ready to accept another attribute. Click on abc. It highlights with the blue background Press Ctrl-C Go to Notepad Press Ctrl-V

I did exactly the same and could paste to Notepad. What's your designer's release date?

The about box from VS_> LLBLGen Pro says:

April 16th, 2015

Under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\v44ccjq3.xap I have some LLBLGen dlls with a version of 4.0.0.0 and a modified date of 21 April 2015

Might be a version mismatch, could you please try to re-install the vsx file, or test on a clean install.

I also couldn't reproduce it. It might be a plugin of vs.net which clears the clipboard, I have no other explanation. It's a devexpress grid and the data is simply copied to the clipboard by windows (we don't do anything there).

Ok, probably another extensions as you say. There are a few loaded. I have the same problem on both my machines and they have similar extensions so that fits.

Thanks for checking.
