    I have several custom controls in my form( eg: round edge panels, controls inherited from label abd button). Sometimes all the controls in my form suddenly disappear in the designer. This is really scary. Since I would have a backup in my source safe that saves me but could anyone explain this better so that I can avoid the cause of this action. Thanks in advance. VPMahank

      Are you using VS2003 or 2005? If you're using 2003, this bug is a known bug, see this blog post[^] for more info. FYI it's fixed in 2005.

          Thanks so much for the link. It was really helpful. Could you let me know on how to write a macro to say close all the designer windows in IDE just before making a build. Any links would also be great. Thanks in advance VPMahank.

            I'm afraid I've no experience writing VS macros. You're on your own there, although I'm sure there are some articles on CodeProject or the web that should help you out.

              There are some workarounds linked to in the article. The main thing to keep in mind is that if all your controls disappear, just close the designer forms without saving anything. AFAIK, there was no official fix for this from Microsoft. :mad: Fortunately, the bug is fixed in VS 2005.
