I am having problems with adding forms to my application. I select add windows form in the project menu, and then add a form using the windows form template. After doing this, I get an object not set to an instance error on the form designer tab, and if I build the solution, then quit and restart VS a random number of times, I have a place to build my form design.

Now, I am also trying to create some inherited forms from this initial form, and when I add windows form, select inherited form, select the correct form to inherit from, when I go to the design tabs there is a tiny little circle in the upper left hand corner that I can grab and move, but if I let it go, it just goes right back to the corner. None of the things that I wanted to inherit are present.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

thanks,
