Hi rovingeye,
From my experience, the code is not generated correctly for the FlexGrid control. Please follow these steps to check:
1. Drag and drop the control to a form and rebuild the project to see if the control still exists on the form in designer.
2. Analyze the code in the InitializeComponent method. You can find the code about the initialization of the FlexGrid control.
By the way, the FlexGrid is a third-party control. It is better to get support from
