Editing Form1.Designer.cs - Major misstake

[Anders Eriksson]

Hello,

In my program I had a splitcontainer that I after a while realized that I
didn't want. Since I couldn't remove it in Form1.cs (Design) I opened
Form1.Designer.cs and removed all code that had anything to do with the
splitcontainer.

Now all components are gone from Form1.cs(Design)
They are there in Form1.Designer.cs

I could take the backup but then I will miss a days work. Is there some
other way?

PLEASE HELP!

Open your backup. You should note that certain controls are being added to
your split container (or perhaps one of its panels; I'm not positive). It
will look like this:

this.splitContainer1.Controls.Add(someButton);
this.splitContainer1.Controls.Add(someCheckBox);

and so on. What you need to do is to add these controls to a different
container, like perhaps the form itself:

this.Controls.Add(someButton);
this.Controls.Add(someCheckBox);

After you do this you should see all your controls magically return.

Hello Jeff,

You are a real David Copperfield!

Thank you very much! Saved my day (night really)
