form.designer.vb InitializeComponent bug deleting remaining controls

At top of frm.designer.vb there is following code.
If get really stuck then rem out System.Diagnostics…. and put a breakpoint here
You may want a try catch block around code that opens the form

 

 

List(T).RemoveAll(match as System.predicate) Remove from IEnumerable possibly based on match

Useful
Would encourage more use of List(of )

SSMS stops working while SQL Server still running

Aggh
Laptop Win7 SQL Server 2008 R2 SSMS has worked for a couple of months. Suddenly stopped working. SQL Server was still working becase VS-TFS still present.
Log file lookups on Web search suggested all sorts of possible directions to solve including:
Permissions on Network Service, Reinstall SQL Server performance monitors using unlodctr sqlctr.ini or something
Reinstalling SSMS did not work
Anyway what did work was Restoring back two weeks.

Do not use default setttings. See

You can view the current settings through the database properties in SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM). Or, you can run the following Transact-SQL command:
