you suck, forms designer

[paperclippy]

It really bugs me that I have spent most of the day working on some changes through the VS 2008 forms designer, and in the middle of it, VS decides to go nuts. Sometimes I can get my designer open again by cleaning, closing and reopening vs, running, then opening the designer, but as soon as I compile it again it dies again

I admit, not having this problem is my favorite thing about WPF. (I design all my forms in code, because I hate the forms designer so much, but it meant that mocking up an interface for people to point at and go "I want this button to be BIGGER! and, uh, PURPLE!" was very difficult in Windows Forms.)
