C# Programming :: Form designer looses controls


	Form designer looses controls Hi NG, It happens quit often, that in Visual Studio 2005 the form designer "looses" controls. Actually it does not really loose them, but the are no longer visible and to get them back I must close the formdesigner and reopen it. I observe this quit often with controls contained in a tabPage. Is this a (known) Bug? If yes, please take this as a BugReport. Regards Rainer Queck Well, Sometimes my pants are "loose", but it is very rare that my form designers "lose" controls. You could try closing the form in the IDE and then reloading it. if you think you have found a legitimate bug, the place to check for and report it is the Microsoft connect site. -----------------------------------------------Reply----------------------------------------------- Hi Rainer, Could you tell me what controls are placed on the form? Are they all standard .NET controls? Do you bind these controls to data sources? If possible, you may send me a simple project that could just reproduce the problem. You can also submit a bug or suggestion on Visual Studio in the Microsoft connect web site via the following link by yourself: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio Sincerely, Linda Liu Microsoft Online Community Support ================================================== Get notification to my posts through email?

Was the control disappeared without any error?. Sometimes the Form Controls were not visible on loading the form(design time), but it showed up error message. I didn't dig down for details. Replacing the form and controls solved the problem. But if you've go too many control with custom code it'd be a pain.
