I have a C# Windows Form project and the designer view suddenly displayed just a blank form when I opened the project. Not sure what caused this, but it seems to have happened since I added a 3rd party control to the Toolbox. The designer code is all still there and when I run the app all the controls are working fine. Anyone got any ideas how I could resync the form designer so it displays the controls properly. This is a relatively simple form which I could easily reproduce, but I’m feeling a tad twitchy about it happening with something more complicated.

Thanks.

    See my comment to the question, but in a nutshell, the InitializeComponent() method in *.Designer.cs mustn’t be renamed otherwise the designer can’t display your form.
