Editing Form1.Designer.cs - Major misstake

[Anders Eriksson]

Hello,

In my program I had a splitcontainer that I after a while realized that I
didn't want. Since I couldn't remove it in Form1.cs (Design) I opened
Form1.Designer.cs and removed all code that had anything to do with the
splitcontainer.

Now all components are gone from Form1.cs(Design)
They are there in Form1.Designer.cs

I could take the backup but then I will miss a days work. Is there some
other way?

PLEASE HELP!

// Anders

Open your backup. You should note that certain controls are being added to
your split container (or perhaps one of its panels; I'm not positive). It
will look like this:

this.splitContainer1.Controls.Add(someButton);
this.splitContainer1.Controls.Add(someCheckBox);

and so on. What you need to do is to add these controls to a different
container, like perhaps the form itself:

this.Controls.Add(someButton);
this.Controls.Add(someCheckBox);

After you do this you should see all your controls magically return.
