Hi friends,

I have an interesting problem with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 DESIGNER. I've created a user control it has a tab control with 3 tab pages in each tab page there are some group box .,

When I reopened my control the group boxes in 2nd and 3rd pages are resized to their half width.

I am looking to designer.cs file externally ( by notepad ):

1) Open control ( There is no change with Size in the file)

2) Resize group boxed ( There is no change with Size in the file )

3) Save and Close control ( There is a change in Size in the file which is correct)

4)Open again the control then it seems that the group box in half width but the size is correct in the file still )

5)Again close it then it changes the file

in the 4.th step designer changes the width but I couldn't understand why ?

I need very urgent help thank you

I have the same problem! It depends on the user control. My user control is fairly simple. It has a tablelayoutpanel and a couple of textboxes. I think the tablelayoutpanel is causing the groupbox to resize somehow. I switched from the groupbox to the panel control and it worked. Not pretty but workable.This is surely a Microsoft bug.

hey...

I encounter the same problem for a long time now... but only when my form is localized. I did not yet search for a solution because the project I am working on is quite large and havent gotten to the stage were I handle localization.

anyway, when testing I always have the problem you describe, and also only with groupboxes!

I thought it maybe had something to do with dots and commas in the regional settings, but that is not the case. Furthermore, when correcting the controls sizes is the designer it only usefull for a single build. Whenever the designer is opened again, the controls sizes changes again.

it is a really frustrating problem, i hope somebody finds the cause of it very soon....

I have run into this exact problem. The user controls in my case were created in .net 2.0.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? There are similar problems posted in various threads with little to no resolution.

i got exactly the same problem. I've created some user controls (panel with pull up/down function). Everytime the forms designer renders the form containing these usercontrols, the size and paddings of controls inside the usercontrol-containerget modified.

Got any solution?

I am having the same bloody issue for a long time already. This is quite annoying, especially when you have quite a large number of controls on your form, you will have to restore their sizes/locations each time you open the form in designer mode. Has anyone found a cure?
