Abstract
An old form of four years needs to be changed. On resize/save in the design-editor, all content gets deleted, the associated project file gets corrupted, and as a result it is a form no longer. The other five forms - one in the same project - have no such problems and have been changed without an issue. Ironically this form would have been the last one to be changed.
Note: Resize is enough to yield this error. Any property like backcolor would do. My solution contains multiple forms in multiple projects.
