Hello

I have the following problem. When I'm designing controls and use them, Visual Studio tends to delete controls randomly
I think this is because my user control uses data-adapters, etc. which will result in an error during design time. The result is that Visual Studio deletes this control, because it doesn't work or something like this. This results in a null-reference-exception, which is correct because my control is gone (the "Protected UserControl1 As UserControl" is the only thing remaining)

Is there a way, tha't disables the power of the design time functions. In design time Visual Studio can delete and create controls, bur I want that the design time cannot delete user controls that maybe in design time create an exception (which only is "?"), but work when running the app. Now I have to backup the information in the Sub InitializeComponents to restore it if the design time is deleting controls

I have found on internet and in my own experience that if you don't open the design view, that problem not occurs. However, sometimes I want to open it to make changes. The design time then deletes some of my user controls

Thanks for any help

Regards
