New class helper

risner · July 7th, 2010, 01:31 PM

I created a new class.
I didn't like the "cHelp" prefix to a class, so I deleted it.

Now I have a Helper I can't seem to delete and I can't create a new class without creating a new helper.

What file contains the helper tags so that I can remove the lines for this orphaned class helper.

I have searched everything I can find. I don't see where that Helper is configured to remove it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can't create a new one using the same 3 letter abbreviation now either.

I wouldn't recommend using an Id pattern other than cHelpXXX for a class helper. There may be things in the code that look for cHelpXXX, extract the XXX, and use it.

If you can restore the old version of the class, I'd recommend doing so, and if not, is it feasible to delete the class and class helper? Or have you gotten so many settings entered that you'd rather not delete it?
