Designer.cs not updating automatically

Question

I've added a new control to my aspx files and noticed that not only was the new control not added to the designer file but that it was also missing quite a few other controls that were added by other members of the team. I've tried deleting the designer.cs file and using "Convert to Web Application" with no success. Some other things i've tried have been excluding the aspx from the project, building, and then re-including with no success. I've also manually entered in a control that was missing in the designer into the designer. When I run after do so an error appears saying the control isn't defined, even though it actually is, and that I should check if I'm missing a directive.

The first control I added was copy and paste from a similar control and made necessary changes. But, i've also tried manually creating the control with the same results.

From this and your previous questions, I believe you have serious issues in your entire solution/projects.
If this solution is not that large, then I would suggest that it may be in your best interest to have an experienced developer rebuild the solution from scratch or fix the existing issues (whichever is easier at this point) and then hand it back to you.
If you are using source control of some kind, you could also just revert back to the last "good" version that is in there and then reapply the changes from that point forward again.

OFFTOPIC:

just a (a bit paranoic) tip, if the size of the project allows it, of course.

At the end of the afternoon before you live, do a *.zip/*.rar (or whatever format you like more) backup of the code-folder.

Keep the backups of the last 2 or 3 weeks as buffer, just in case. You never know what can happens on the next day.

1. right-click .resx file
2. left-click: "Run Custom Tool"

Result: Designer.cs gets generated.

I suppose the Enquirer solved his problem during the last 6 years ...
