Windows Forms Designer Error

[Guest]

I just recently converted a VB 2003 project to VB 2005.
The project compiles and runs fine but whenever I try to view any forms in
the designer I get a "Object instance not set" error.
If I create a new Form I can view it fine though, the issues is only with
pre-existing forms.

I also converted several other projects (both VB and C# from the same
solution) at the same time and none of those ones have had any problems with
their pre-existing forms.

Thank you,

Ok, for anyone else who might have a similar issue I seem to have narrowed
down at least part of the problem (MS you reading this? *smile*)

Most of the forms that were having the problem were localized
(Localizable=true)

What I found (quite by accident) is that if I view any one of the Rez files
in the Grid view I could then View the Form. This has worked for many, but
not all *pout* files so far.
