vb.net 2005 bug in the ide (wipes out code)

[Guest]

I couldn't find a reference to it or a more appropriate place to post
it so hopefully there is someone who watches these things watching this
thing

Over the last 3 days I have lost all my code 3 times using the vb.net
2005 express UI. I haven't fully tested when and how but it has
happened when i use the form designer to modify the properties of more
then 1 control at a time.

component in the application are:

2 toolstrips
1 toolstripcontainer
2 imagelists
1 contextmenu
1 tootips
1 openfiledialog
1 shockwave flash container
1 treeview
2 splitcontainers (sc1 and sc2)

sc2 is inside of sc1.panel1 and set as a vertical container. In
sc2.panel2 (bottom left) i have a picturebox, 3 textboxes (1 is
multiline) , a button to instantiate a filepicker (ofd), a button to
update the treeview and a background image. and of course these
controls are tied to code modules handling the click events and setting
the text properies appropriately.

When I select all 3 textboxes and attempted to modify their background
color in the properies page at the same time, the UI hesitated, then
showed me a list of every control in my application with an error
message that they were not members of the application.

At that point switching to the code editor shows me that all my code,
except what was generated by the ide, is gone, replaced by white space.

If anyone is adventurous enough to confirm this please drop a note on
it.. I'd like to know if its just me <g>

Have you checked whether it has been moved into the .Designer.vb file?

yup.

gone as in gone - an xp search of my hard drives including system and
hidden files would not locate any files containing strings known to be
in my code - function names like "frmMain_Load()" etc.
