Normally, I haven't had much trouble with #Develop not displaying the
form so long as I limit my edits to InitializeComponent to either
event hookups or properties of the visual elements.  Everything else,
I keep in separate methods or another class altogether and that seems
to keep the designer happy.  That being said, if you put something in
there that shouldn't break the designer, then report it as a bug.  The
folks at #develop are pretty responsive.
Additionally, if you take the code out of #Develop's IDE and try to
run it in IP, then you'll need to import the clr and add references to
the appropriate libraries.  #Develop puts these imports in the
"Program.py" file for your project, so unless you run your form
outside of the IDE by importing "Program.py", the imports are lost.
