.Net Designer does not support the overloaded constructors of the controls in it, If your user control has some controls which have overloaded constructors, there is probability that your contituent controls get disappered when you drop it on the form.

More than likely you left the default
AssemblyVersionAttributevalue in your AssemblyInfo.cs file with the asterisk (*) in it. Every time you compile your project the assembly version is changed. Unlike Win32 DLLs, the assembly version matters. A Type is a completely different Type even if the assembly which defines it differs in version. So, either include a project dependency instead of a file dependency if both projets are in the same solution (after opening "Add Reference...", click the Project tab instead of the default .NET tab); or, define a constant version number and control your versioning. You'll need to remove the reference to your older assembly and include the new, hard-coded versioned assembly then re-add your control. For more information about assembly versions read the .NET Framework SDK that was installed by defualt with VS.NET, is available stand-alone at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework[^], and that is available online at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library[^].
