 VS.NET, WinForms, Design, & the Red X

Anyone ever come across the "Red X" when attempting to view a WinForm within
the form designer. We have a number of developers working on the same
application, working through Visual SourceSafe. One developer checked in
some work. Four other developers checked it out just fine. Two developers
checked it out fine. Coudn't view the form in Designer. Any suggestions or
ideas?

It seemed to work for one developer so far to reinstall VS.NET.  Go figure.

Craig, I work in a Source safe enviroment and it can cause havoc !
It occurs when the designer cannot create the form from the .cs code but
when you check out your form you aren't actually checking out your code just
the other file which has the designer info that VS.net uses.  No solution
except for always check out the file and make sure you always get latest
version (which has several problems of it's own!)
