Did this work in a previous version of Visual Studio and/or previous .NET release?

Yes, the last one I am sure it worked with is 17.4. with same .Net release.

Issue description

In some forms, changing anything either by designer or by the properties window, then trying to save causes Visual Studio to hang.

Steps to reproduce

The issue is not present in all forms, only some and I couldn’t isolate the criteria based on which this is happening.

---

In new project: the issue doesn’t exist. My project was originally a .Net framework project that I ported to .Net 5 several years ago, and moved to .Net 7 when it came. The issue appears in some old forms, new forms created do not have this issue. However, copying some controls from a form that suffers from the issue to a new form even in a new project causes the problem to appear there also.

Here is the .Designer.cs code from a form that has the issue:

namespace UltimatePharmaForms;

partial class frmAdjustTax
{

    /// <summary>
    /// Clean up any resources being used.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        try
        {
            if (disposing && components != null)
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
    }
    private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;


    /// <summary>
    /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
    /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
    /// </summary>
    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        Label1 = new Label();
        Label2 = new Label();
        btnSave = new Button();
        btnSave.Click += btnSave_Click;
        txtFrom = new TextBox();
        txtTo = new TextBox();
        SuspendLayout();
        // 
        // Label1
        // 
        Label1.AutoSize = true;
        Label1.Location = new Point(461, 16);
        Label1.Margin = new Padding(4, 0, 4, 0);
        Label1.Name = "Label1";
        Label1.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes;
        Label1.Size = new Size(199, 34);
        Label1.TabIndex = 0;
        Label1.Text = "تعديل ضريبة الأصناف من:";
        //

        Label2.Location = new Point(115, 16);

@AhmadKelany I think you should be able to add Olina as a collaborator. That way it avoids it being public. @Olina-Zhang Olina Zhang (Beyondsoft Corporation) Vendor If it is possible, please provide an email to invite you to the repo, If this is the right way:

I don’t think that’s the correct way. I suggest you open a VS Feedback ticket (unless you already have) where you can provide more information discreetly to Microsoft only. Once you have opened the ticket, pleas post the link to it here for the team to track. Thanks for following up with me, I did that, here is the link: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Pressing-the-save-button-after-changing/10334840?port=1025&fsid=e87c87c9-efbf-487e-afc9-b6591b6335d0
