 This bug just causes the designer not to load - while it is easily fixed - perhaps there are other issues that this causes.

From my standpoint - report it as an error - but don't prevent the designer from loading as it is an object that is

not "bound" to the designer.

 Should this  (note the String Declaration with no ending Quotes)

Public Partial Class MainForm
 
 Public FilePathTable as New Data.DataTable
 Public DataTypeTable As New Data.Datatable

 Public ConnectionInfo as String = "provider=microsoftJet.OleDb.4.0
 

Public Sub New()
  ' The Me.InitializeComponent call is required for Windows Forms designer support.
  Me.InitializeComponent()
End Sub

really cause ?

Failed to load designer. Check the source code for syntax errors and check if all references are available.
