Hi:

Twice now that I have opened a control it's blank on design surface.
Designer code is there, but nothing renders on form and getting no
compilation errors. What's going on?

Thanks,
Charlie

I've had this when going from Debug to Release mode or vice versa. Make sure
you close all designers before doing this.

This can happen at other times for various reasons, such as an exception
while loading one of the controls. If it happens close without saving so you
don't lose changes and try to find the source of the error.

If you're using VS2005, have you installed SP-1?

Good luck.
