I just lost some user controls for no reason using VB.Net 2003. I had added the controls thru the Design IDE and all was working ok but for some reason,
they just disappeared. The form module ("Windows Designer code") showed them
still there but all properties that I had set were gone.
My solution was to re-add the controls in the designer then copy the design
code to a sub and add them programatically in the form load event. I believe
there is a bug in the VB.NeT 2003 designer that allows controls to just
disappear for no reason. I've heard of people having this trouble before so
I'm thru with adding user controls via the designer!
I know some on this newsgroup don't like calling things a BUG but I call it
like it is and it's a BUG!
