VB.NET forms behave strange on design-time

Question

I'm developing with VB.NET 2008. One of my host was crashed, so I take the files and keep development on another host. But now something strange is happening:All frames, lines and shapes are disappeared on design-time, but are seen normally in runtime. Please see the attached screenshot (Upper is design-time, lower is runtime). http://gomidjets.com/forms.JPG

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Thanks.

The shapes are GroupBox and LineShape. LineShape is part of "VisualBasic PowerPack" indeed.

If I try to add a line shape, it is added but invisible in the designer, while it's visible during the run-time.

any idea?

Thanks again

Answer 2

Are you sure you haven't just lost track of the Zorder in the designer?
