VB.net 2015 Form Type Mismatch

See original GitHub issue

Using VB 2015 (Visual Studio Enterprise 2015) running with .NET 4.5.2

It simply complains that Form1 cannot be converted to MaterialForm.

BC30311 | Value of type ‘Form1’ cannot be converted to ‘MaterialForm’.

I would say this is a huge problem that can effectively prevent the use of the library, any thoughts?

@Dutchs I am such a dumbass, I figured out where I borked it. I put the inherit in the wrong place, I put it in the code not the designer, ARGH! and now it works, thank you for your help.

That is strange, i have been able to inherit a Form from MaterialForm without any issues using the provided sample code, with vb.net 4.5.2 (VS2015)

Just so we are on the same page: You have added a refrence to MaterialSkin and added a Form and in Form1.Designer.vb you changed: Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form to: Inherits MaterialSkin.Controls.MaterialForm and at this point the Designer for Form1 displays a MaterialForm.
