I've got an odd situation in which my MDI Child forms no
longer show properly. This has occured a number of times
to me. I'm not exactly sure what triggers this, but it may
be caused by/result in trying to access non-existant
controls on the forms.
In design time, these controls are present, but in run-
time they are always NOTHING. In some cases, I don't get
any error until I try and access the controls that should
have been on the form. In other cases, I get
MissingManifestResourceException when I try and show the
form.
Looking up this exception, I wonder if I haven't managed
to corrupt some resource files. I am also wondering if the
CodeModel has become corrupted. I can fix it by cut-n-
pasting everything onto/into new forms.
Any help is appreciated.

Mike,

This article discusses a common reason for getting a
MissingManifestResourceException:

Thanks Mattias, that was one of two problems. I had put a
namespace block in front of some of my forms. However,
many other forms still show without error - and without
anything visible.

Found the 2nd problem - it was of my making.
