Controls disappearing

[ddman]

I opened my VB.NET project and all of a sudden, all of the controls on
the form were gone. I tried running it and the form opens normally
with all the controls and stuff showing up like they normally do after
my login screen. The only difference is a whole bunch of errors
cropping up stating so-and-so not declared. However, attempts to open
the page in designer view resulted in a completely blank form
appearing. Similarly, no controls appear for the form in the dropdown
in codeview. I tried googling this problem but no solution has come
up. Can someone please respond asap cuz this project is urgent and due
next week. Thx.

I just tried comparing the problematic form to another working form and
it seems that the component code required by the form is missing. How
can this be? I never went close to the area, can it just disappear
suddenly? If so, how come all the controls are showing up prefectly
during runtime, with a lot of 'not declared' errors, but not appearing
in the design view?

I'm using VS.NET 2003 and coding in VB.NET. If anyone knows the
solution please tell me as this is urgent. Thx.
