problem with form designer

I have a problem with how visual studio.net's form designer handles form
inheritance. This is what I am trying to do.. I have a base form with some
controls on it..I then create a child Form from this base form...The problem
I notice so far is that if the controls in the base form don't have the
"friend" modifier , the form designer will regenerate the intial code for
each control in the inherited form.....This is causing me headache...If i
remove a control from the base class, the form designer won't remove the
code in the inherited form...I have to do it manually...Can someone please
help

In the designer for the base class set the Modifier to protected for the
controls.
