Hello, I have a problem when I star to design an screen using VB2008 and SDK 5.10. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/1X/3f8e39065cdaeb9ed1fe132ac66ab16063fbc6dc.jpeg) I installed all again, I erased other SDK instalations, but I have always the same error. I added a referens from de Explorer and from the toolbox, and nothing change. Also, the manual said that I will see a Template, but I cold not found it. Any ideas? Thanks In advance, ---

Do you need this ‘old’ SDK-version? Otherwise I would recommend to install 5.15 or higher. Normally when you create a new project, you can choose the ‘FlexPendant’ template (see image). After using this template, a screen will be created automatically in which you can add buttons or other components from the toolbox. ![image.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/5/5a8f4f1d0b097c14474873261f8de422856cc04d.png) ![image.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/5/5a8f4f1d0b097c14474873261f8de422856cc04d.png) ---

I can see from the exception that “you” (your VisualStudio 🙂 tries to load the assembly(s) which contains the Button class. Probably when you drag a Button from the toolbox it to the designer surface. Step one is to try to make the 5.10 template visible in the Visual Studio New Project… dialog. When you can create a project using that template the problem is hopefully gone. I’ll find some instructions for that and post it here in a while. ---

Re-install FP SDK 5.10 Then run this command from the Visual Studio Command line: _devenv /installvstemplates_ Start Visual Studio (Any command line is fine, just make sure that your current directory is where devenv.exe is or that it is in your search path. That is the Visual Studio executable) If that does not work we have to dig deeper. The SDK installation shall put the necessary files in a certain location specified by Visual Studio and when you run the /installvstemplate command it takes them from there, copies them and or does something clever and finally they shall appear. ---
