I have a Form which Inherits from another Form of mine; yesterday I was able
to design and work with the new form, with no problem. When I reopened the
Solution today, the designer won't show the Form; it indicates an "Object
reference not set to an instance of an object" Exception, with no indication
of location in the Code except for the page that the Form's Class is on. I
made NO changes to the code supplied for the Designer (the App does build and
run, it's just the Designer that's not functioning). What's up?
