Winform Designer bugs and issues...

Guys,

My team is having a problem with the VS 2005 designer.  Here's the error
that we are getting:

"The variable <object> is either undeclared or was never assigned"

This is becoming quite a problem and annoying.  I was able to narrow down
the specific area that is causing the problem.  It turns out that a
particular property that gets/sets a custom business object on the control
is the culprit and I have no idea why.

The property looks something like this:

  [Browsable(false)]
  [DesignerSerializationVisibility( DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)]
  public XYZ.Person.Business.Person PersonInfo {
   get { return _person; }
   set {
       _person = value;
       UpdateDisplay();
    }
  }

Now... what I did as a temporary fix was to remove the
XYZ.Person.Business.Person and replace it with object.  And that "fixed" the
issue.  However, in my testing, I couldn't narrow it down any futher as to
the root cause.  I created a new business object and used it and it worked.
I tried removing several properties and methods but to no avail.

I'm just curious if any of you have had similar issues or problems or have
had any resolutions.

Thanks,
Mike
