Winforms Design View Corruption

I have found that if I develop and application in one location and then try
to move it to another directory somewhere, the solution opens just fine,
builds, and runs, OK. However, opening ANY of the forms in the design view
will result in corrupted views. Specifically, all controls are clustered in
the upper left corner. Many of the attributes will have been wiped.
Any clue as to how to get around this problem; I really need to move a
project if at all possible :-) Thanks in advance--

The properties that tie the RESX file to the form don't get changed, so they
point
to the wrong directory (depending on where you moved to).

Open each RESX file and edit it in the property browser (right-click
'properties',
edit the page Managed Resources, the field Resource File Name).
