Designer writing code for controls inherited from base Form?

Hello,

I am having a really annoying problem. I have a base form, say FormA,
and this form has some buttons on it with images (which are stored in
the resx file). I then have FormB, which inherits from FormA. FormB
for some odd <and stupid> reason, FormB desides to rewrite all the
designer generated code for the inherited controls. It also puts the
images that FormA has in it's resx into it's own resx <very annoying>.
I have MANY forms inheriting from FormA, all of which do this. I have
tried going into the InitializeComponent() function and deleting all
the extra-non-needed-should-be-inherited code. This fixes the problem.
Temporarily. After an unknown period of time, it messes it up again.
This is very frustrating and annoying because I cannot change the base
form and have it actually change the inheriting forms!!!! Please
Please, somebody help!

<btw... I am using VS 2002>

Sincerely, and with thanks in advance,
~Patrick Corkum
