Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue.
Controls in my webform just suddenly disappeared. No error message,
no warning just wiped out a days worth of work.

there are known problems with switching from HTML view to design view and
back which can cause this problem. It is usually caused by certain HTML
elements, for instance I had exactly the same when I tried to use <head
runat=server> - switch to design view and back and the whole page was gone

apparently there will be no fix until the next version.

I recommend setting the IDE options to open up in HTML view by default and
after switching back from design view, do a quick check it's all there
before saving.
