Designer changes won't update the winform designer code file
posted

- NetAdvantage 2014.2 (also happened in 2013.1 before upgrading)

- .Net 4.5

- Visual Studio Professional 2013

I'm trying to design a grid in a standard WinForms application. I was able to set the look of it and add the initial set of columns just fine, but after a while it started misbehaving. The changes I made in the designer (most notably columns and summaries) were frequently not being saved to the form's designer file (MainForm.Designer.vb), which led to the designer reloading the old settings once I built the application.

This doesn't happen with the standard .Net controls added to the form, and the ultrawingrid is the only Infragistics control I use in this project.

For a little while it seemed like I could get around it by clearing the contents of licenses.licx, but that has also stopped working now. I can now successfully get it to update the designer file once every 10-20 attempts, which gets really annoying really quickly.

Any suggestions about why this is happening? This project is pretty much dead until I can finish designing this grid, so I hope there's a solution. Thanks!
