In the cases where there is no Designer.vb file associated with the
form, how do I go about creating the corresponding Designer.vb file?
Do I just add a new class file to the same folder where the form files
are and name it Form.Designer.vb, where Form is the name of the form?
Then, I just grab the windows-generated code from Form.vb and put it
in there (with the needed Partial Class declaration at the beginning)?

I also have never had this happen with projects created in VS2005.

However, if you have such a file and want to add a designer.vb file,
this is how to do it:

Create the xx.designer.vb file.
Add the xx.designer.vb file to the project with Project -> Add
Existing Item.
Close the project.
Make a copy of the .vbproj file in case something goes wrong.
Edit the .vbproj file in a text editor like Notepad. Find the lines
describing the xx.designer.vb file. It should look something like:
<Compile Include="ctlEditbox.Designer.vb" />
Expand the <Compile /> clause to have an ending tag and add a
DependentUpon clause:
<Compile Include="ctlEditbox.Designer.vb">
<DependentUpon>ctlEditbox.vb</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
.
