Unspecified error - in Form Designer of Visual C# 2008 Express

Folks,

I have a very simple application, consisting of a standard Program.cs, an "empty" Form1, and an extra class, which must be instantiated in main and "injected" into Form1... and I'm getting an when I try to display the Form Designer... so I can't "populate" the Form with the desired controls.

Visual C# 2008 Express SP1 - Version 9.0.30729.1 on Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit) on an AMD64

This was intended to be an SCCEE for another problem (which I posted to StackOverflow).

Program.cs

using
 System;
using
 System.Windows.Forms;

namespace
 ShowFormOnTop
{
    static
 class
 Program {
        [STAThread]
        static

            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false

 SomeOtherClass();
            Application.Run(new
 Form1(other));
        }
    }
}

Form1.cs

using
 System;
using
 System.Windows.Forms;

namespace
 ShowFormOnTop {
    public
 partial
 class
 Form1 : Form {
        private
 readonly
 SomeOtherClass other;
        public

        }
        public

            InitializeComponent();
            this
.other = other;
        }
    }
}

Form1.Designer.cs

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ShowFormOnTop {
    partial class Form1 {
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) {
            if (disposing && (components != null)) {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

        #region Windows Form Designer generated code

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// </summary>
        private void InitializeComponent() {
            this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
            this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
            this.Text = "Form1";
        }

        #endregion
    }
}

SomeOtherClass.cs

using System;

namespace ShowFormOnTop {
    public class SomeOtherClass {
        public SomeOtherClass() {
        }
        void doNothing() {
        }
    }
}

Any insights would be appreciated... In the meantime I think I'll just start a fresh project (it's so small), and hope I don't trigger the problem.

Cheers. Keith.
