One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.

Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

While working with Form Inheritance, I have encountered the above error. Here's what you can do if you suffer the same fate:

a) Close and restart Visual Studio 2005 (dumb solution).

b) Close all Forms and code window. Right-click on the Project containing the inherited Form in Solution Explorer and select Clean. Build (not Rebuild) the project containing BaseForm.

c) Visit here and follow the link to get the hotfix.

Everything should be ok if you have installed the hotfix.
