I have a VB application in VS 8.0.5 that has a TabControl with five Tabs.
Each Tab displays a new "screen" with WinForm controls on it, when selected.
When I select a Tab page in VS Design mode, sometimes the tab page
appears but all the controls are not visible (missing?) in design mode;
sometimes they are visible. This usually happens after a Rebuild Solution
action. Once they dissapear, I have to Exit Visual Studio
and reload my application to get them to appear again in Design mode. Why is
this happening? How can I get this to stop? This did not happen in VS 7.1
with this application, why does it happen now?

Hello,
Thanks for your post.
Regarding this issue, if you create a simple winform project with
TabControl and several TabPages, does the problem still exist? Also, you
may test your project on another machine, does the problem still exist?
Also, is there any third party control on the tab? If you remove these
third party controls, will this problem be fixed?
With these tests, we can determine if this problem is project-specific or
machine-specific. If you can create a simple sample project to help us
reproduce out the problem, it will give us a better understanding. Thanks
Best regards,
Luke Zhang
