Controls Disappear in VS.NET Form Design view
Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I solved it! I think it's a VS.NET bug. The
problem is that this line in InitializeComponent is
getting deleted by VS.NET:
Me.Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control()
{<your control names added here, e.g., Me.comboBox1})
There was a similar problem with VS.NET and WebForms in
Beta 1, where all the Protected WithEvents statements
would get dropped in the WebForm's codebehind when
returning from the WebForm design view.
So now I'm keeping a commented copy of the
Me.Controls.AddRange statement so that if the uncommented
one gets deleted, I can quickly recreate it.
