I have a problem that I hope can be fixed. I have been working

I have a problem that I hope can be fixed. I have been working on a project in VS 2010 – and it seems things are falling apart faster than I can fix them. I have not changed how I am coding or using the designer from the previous months… Here are some screen shots – perhaps someone can help me figure out what’s going on here? I know this is rather vague – but I’m pulling my hair out, and maybe someone else has been in this boat!

These are from the TabControl craping out on me, an things are missing off my ToolStrips too!

HELP! — Andrew

UPDATE

The above issues are fixed, and I was able to use the designer for a limited time – however after a build I now get the errors below… I have removed bin / obj folders to no avail.

To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved: 
Object does not match target type
at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.CheckConsistency(Object target)
at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture, Boolean skipVisibilityChecks)
at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture)
at System.SecurityUtils.MethodInfoInvoke(MethodInfo method, Object target, Object[] args)
at System.ComponentModel.ReflectPropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Object component, Object value)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializePropertyAssignStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeAssignStatement statement, CodePropertyReferenceExpression propertyReferenceEx, Boolean reportError)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeAssignStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeAssignStatement statement)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeStatement statement)

SO NOW I’m trying to figure out this half of the problem…

    Some times below helps to catch design time errors. Reference

    1) Start a second instance of visual studio

    2) go the the Tools menu, “Attach to process”, select the ‘devenv.exe’
    process, and click the ‘attach’ button.

    3) In the Debug/Exceptions menu,
    enter image description here
    Turn on exception catching when first thrown (in the Debug->Exceptions menu).

    4) Open the designer with the debugger attached.

    5) The second visual studion will break on your error.
