Thread: Need help to restore running app

I had a working program (Windows Forms Project) complete with buttons and the underlying code.

In an attempt to shortcut my work I decided to add tab controls and move everything in my main form into tab 1 (cut and pasted).
As you can imagine it didn't work. I then got rid of the tab conrol and pasted everything back into the main form but the program doesn't work anymore.
Can someone tell me what's wrong please?

I'm working in MS V studio 2008 express
Thanks.

If you copy controls the event-code won't follow.
If you copy the event-code the controls won't follow.
You have to copy both, but even then it's kinda risky just to copy and expect it to work.
Keep backups!

maybe you can get the code of your original form1.designer file there are all the controls declared in your project and there are also the event declared if i remember right, (correct me if i am wrong).

this is the code of a old form.desginer.cs file of one of my C# project maybe it can help you:

Code:

namespace Pong
{
    partial class frmMain
    {
        /// <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.Timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(this.components);
            this.SuspendLayout();
            // 
            // Timer
            // 
            this.Timer.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.Timer_Tick);
            // 
            // frmMain
            // 
            this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
            this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
            this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(390, 326);
            this.Name = "frmMain";
            this.Text = "Form1";
            this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.frmMain_Load);
            this.ResumeLayout(false);

        }

        #endregion

        private System.Windows.Forms.Timer Timer;
    }
}

Good Luck,
