Resently the properties window in my VS2005 installation went blank. When I
am using the form designer there are no properties shown in the propterties
window. I have tried closing/opening forms, the properties window, the IDE,
booting the computer. Nothing helps, the properties are gone. I know there
was a similar problem with VS2003, but hoped that this would not occur in
VS2005. The problem is critical since I can not work without the properties
window. Does anybody know how to solve this issue?

Thanks

I think I found a solution myself. I deleted the <solution>.suo file. After
that the properties came back! I also suspect that the problem initially may
have been triggered by one of my user controls. This particular control wired
an Application.Idle handler in the constructor. This worked fine run time but
seems to have triggered the problems in the designer.
