Hi Goran,

Based on your description, I think you're using the VS 2005 SP1's "Web
Application Project" model for your ASP.NET application development,
correct?

If so, the behavior you encountered(manually declcared control member will
be removed after you add new controls onto webform) is the expected
behavior. This is because the VS IDE(webform designer) will always
synchronize the webform aspx tempalte with the codebehind(designer.vb or
designer.cs) whenever there is any change in the aspx template. When
performing the synchronizing, it will regenerate the page partial classes'
member control variables so as to match the aspx template.  Therefore, if
you have any member variable that haven't an actual control (with the
identical ID to the member field name) in aspx , that member variable will
be removed. Does this explain your problem?

Also, designer.vb/designer.cs file is not designed to be edited by user
directly, if you have some custom properties/fields what to add on the
page, you should utilize the non-designer codebehind  (pagename.vb file),
this file won't be modified by the IDE automatically.  Is there any
particular concern that you can not use this?  

If you have any further questions, please feel free to post here.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
