There is a repeating issue of controls vanishing from a form in the Dev
environment which is starting to get annoying.
What happens is that I will have a form open in the IDE. The form will have
a variety of buttons on it. The form will be saved, then compiled and run.
After it runs, one or more buttons have either vanished completely, or moved
to a position of 0,0.
If the control vanishes completely, it may still show up when running the
form, or sometimes it doesn't. It is not possible to select the button as it
is not visible, yet I can't create another one to replace it with the same
name as it's already there.
If anyone has a workaround or resolution for this, I would appreciate it.
These are controls with one level of inheritance.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
The only "workaround " (see below why I am putting the quotes around it) I
know is to:
a) Before opening any designer, always make sure your solution successfully
compiles.
b) Even if it compiles, make sure there are no missing references in any of
the projects.
c) Before compiling a solution, close all designer windows.
d) After opening a designer window, look immediately to the Tasks pane. If
you see any control-related errors there, remember or copy the messages,
close the designer immediately and undo checkout on the corresponding
file(s) if possible. DO NOT open the designer until you've resolved the
reported issues.
I know - this is annoying and this is a pain, but these are the only
measures I am aware of to prevent the vanishing of controls. If someone from
Microsoft pays attention to this message, can you please post whether a
hotfix is available to resolve this issue? I remember this problem has
existed since VS .NET 7.0 and it appears to me to be rather annoying as it
corrupts the developer's work and code.

My unhandled exceptions seem to just vanish. If I put the line:
int x = int.Parse("XXX");
in (which generates an exception, obviously) then the code that's
executing just vanishes, leaving me back at the form (which carries on
working). If I deliberately catch an error, I catch it just fine.
Stepping through it line by line, it runs to the exception generating
line, and then just doesn't execute anything beyond that line.

I have a project with a variety of forms in it. The controls on those
forms are from another project in the same solution.
When I change from Debug to Release, I can do a build just fine (and
the built project runs just fine too), but if I open one of the forms
up in the IDE to edit it visually, it complains that it can't find the
controls.
Going into the code, and checking with "Go To Definition" confirms that
it _can_ find the...

After trying to load my java applet from <OBJECT> tag
(rather than <APPLET> tag), it renders fine, except when
you click between the DESIGN view then back to HTML view,
the <PARAM NAME="ARCHIVE" VALUE="jars/myapp.jar"> line
completely vanishes.
Click to HTML view again, and the applet just does not

I've got a datagrid with some nested controls, created at design-time. The

After a few other operations on the page (selecting a few parameters, etc),

retreives the 4-10 rows it needs and using the itemdatabound formats
everything nicely.
What I intend to do then, is after the user has gone through the nested

I have built an application in VB.Net, using a WebBrowser control to act

users are able to interact with it via some external controls on the same

I've used Access for many years. Several times, I've encountered a bug
which I refer to as the "Vanishing Joins" bug. When it happens, joins
vanish randomly from queries. More specifically, all joins vanish from
at least one (seemingly random) query.
I've always regarded the Vanishing Joins bug as a symptom of
corruption. When it happens, I usually give my users advice on how to
recover from corruption, and how to avoid it in the future....

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
