i am working on a user control. embedded in my user control is another user control. all of a suddon while programming some simple stuff i get an "out of memory error message"

i can no longer load my project (after reboots etc)

i start a new project, copy the control.vb files into a new project folder.. add then add the control to the new project

i can view the design and the code of the control.

when i attempt to drag the control onto another control in the same project i get an error message

"failed to create component... 'system.outofmemoryexception. out of memory"
