Disappearing/Moving controls ? Any advice?

I had this problem way back when I was still developing on dotnet Beta 2 or 3.  I would create a new Form.  Add some controls to it.  Add some source code.  Build it...  Sounds normal sofar?  Then the next time you open the blo0dy Form:  All the controls have moved to position 0, 0.  No matter what you do, this will happen.

Now, I first left it there, because I thought that it was an issue with Beta.  But this happened this week again.  I had to remove the form and recreate it (using a different name...  The problem persists if you use the same one) to fix it.

 

Any fix/work-around/explaination to this?

As when you drag the controls onto the web page or user control?

Exactly the same, but this is on Application Forms. When you put the control on the Windows Form, it stays where you put it. But when you close the form and open it again, the controls have moved to position 0,0. (Top Left).

Welcome to the world of VS... Don't have a work around for your issue... What could cause it (this makes no sense, I know) is if you have duplicate namespaces eg. MyControl.MyControl. This will screw up sometimes. I've been having lots of issues with controls dissapearing off of forms.

Behold my blog for more issues in .NET and VS. I have pages of issues on my site. :) I feel for you dude...
