all controls have gone

hi in vb.net i have a huge program and when i came to load it up today i had the following errors

The referenced component 'MSFlexGridLib' could not be found. Could not load the type library. Library not registered.

i have been using this app for ages (i upgraded it from vb6)

all the controls have disappeared off the form but they are still in the property window. i have no problems with any other project and nothing has changed all the controls i use in this one i can still use in others anyone know why this has happened

start a new project and where you can select form, module, etc onthe left hand side there is a tree list select package and deployment from that

I don't know why it happened, but I know that it happened a lot. It happened to me to my collegues and there are plenty questions about it on the forums.
