Dropping a context menu onto toolbarform is making the toolbar go away

Hi- When I add a Rad context menu to a RadToolbarForm, the toolbar vanishes from the designer after a build.  This is new behavior because I have other context menus that I had previously added to the form.  If I drag a RadContextMenu from the toolkit, or I copy/paste an existing context menu, the toolbar disappears after a build.  I am running the latest release (2024.1.130) and toolkit config (although this also happens when running the previous Telerik release)

I tried closing the designer before the build and the toolbar still disappears.  Doing a Clean before build has no effect.  This form is inherited from a simple RadToolbar form (no controls except the toolbar).  The toolbar is still listed in the list of controls for the form

Ha!  Just found out what's happening.  It's deleting the toolbar configuration code from the designer code.  Everything below is gone.  If I add it back in, then do anything with the new context menu, like rename it, it gets removed again

            // 
            // RadToolbarFormControl1
            // 
            RadToolbarFormControl1.AutoSize = false;
            RadToolbarFormControl1.CenterItems.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.RadItem[] { RadLabelElement1, RadButtonElement_Task_New, RadButtonElement_Task_Edit, RadButtonElement_Task_Delete, RadCheckBoxElement_ShowCompleted });
            RadToolbarFormControl1.CenterItemsVerticalAlignment = Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadVerticalAlignment.Bottom;
            RadToolbarFormControl1.FarItems.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.RadItem[] { RadLabelElement_WorkHours, RadLabelElement_Work_StartDate, RadLabelElement_Work_EndDate, RadButtonElement_SelectDates, RadButtonElement_Invoices, RadButtonElement_Summary });
            RadToolbarFormControl1.NearItems.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.RadItem[] { RadLabelElement2, RadLabelElement_Projects, RadButtonElement_New, RadButtonElement_Edit, RadButtonElement_Delete, RadButtonElement_Refresh });
            RadToolbarFormControl1.ShowText = false;
            RadToolbarFormControl1.Size = new Size(1804, 52);

Hello Michael,

I appreciate the provided details. Probably the problems come from the designer when migrating from VB to C#. In general, when migrating RadToolbarForm it will be better to create the form in the new project and manually add the controls to the title. This way you can ensure proper creation and controls and their order. The content of the form could be copied and pasted in the designer.cs file.

Nevertheless, I am happy to hear that you were able to make it work, and thank you for sharing your steps. I am setting the status of the feedback item as this is related to the VS designer.

This may be resolved- I made a few changes to the RadToolBar (changed the order of a few buttons then changed them back) and everything seems to be holding.  This might just be a weird designer problem.  I did convert this app from VB to C# a few months ago and I believe this is the first designer change I have made.
