I have this too. I have 2 forms I can't open in the designer because
every time I do, the VS.NET 2005 forms designer regens
the code for the controls, but forgets to emit a line which instantiates a
usercontrol on the form, which of course crashes the form
in the designer.
This sucks bigtime ofcourse, I have to comment out the usercontrol,
then I can design it, copy back the code for the
usercontrol and save the form.
Also big forms with lots of controls are really slow in the designer
because every time you flip between form and code and
back and you click the form it will repaint AND regen itself. At least with
forms converted from vs.net 2003.
