Ok - I've not made any significant changes to my base form for a while, other than adding a new button or tow, and thus some new virtual functions to be overridden. I try to never change the size of the form, as that can have effects, but then it need never be changed anyway really.

If we modify the base form in any significant way, the generated code in inherited forms or their resource files will often become corrupted and we have to correct the situation by hand. This can be a very time consuming and frustrating process. If the base form is left alone, then it will be fine. Anyway, what this shows is that it is at best a tricky architecture and you need to have a fat buffer to account for possible lost time.
