Controls disapearing after compiling

Hi,

I'm having a very strange bug.
It seems that after I compile a Release version of my code, the
user-controls that I'm using (created by me.. different project, same
solution, compiled first) disapear!
When I load a form they are all missing the controls and I get tons of
errors. If I don't open the form (in design mode) and try to run it, it runs
fine, but once I open it, if I save the form, I'm screwed!

Has anyone experienced this problem? is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance,

I have experienced this. Very annoying!

if you are modifying a user control, make sure that any form that has that
control on it is closed within visual studio. I think what happens is if you
modify the control, attempt to compile, and if there is a bug/error, any
form that has that control on it gets screwed up. It actually removes all of
the code from InitializeComponent. I don't know why it does this, but I got
into the habbit of closing all the forms from design view whenever I modify
my user controls.

I'll give that a try.
I wish MS had some info on this and some kind of way around it!

Thanks for the help,
