I am having an odd problem with asp.net. I am using Microsoft Development Environment 2003 version 7.1 and .net Framework 1.1.

Using server explorer, i have dragged a couple of tables and drop them on the web page. This creates a connection icon, and a dataadapter icon on the design page, which i can then click and make alterations if need be. (They are both the odbc version, odbcconnection and odbcdataadapter - i don't think thats the issue, but figured i'd mention it).

It also creates odbc commands on the code behind page, like so:

protected System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection odbcConnection1;
protected System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter daExpo;
protected System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand odbcSelectCommand1;
protected System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand odbcInsertCommand1;
protected System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand odbcUpdateCommand1;
protected System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand odbcDeleteCommand1;

For some reason, twice today, my icons have disappeared. So I can't double click on my dataadapter to make changes if needed. In fact, if I try to add another table to the design page, I get an error, because it tries to make odbcConnection1, odbcSelectCommand1, etc, again (since it can't find any existing connection), but they already exist in my code-behind page. Those commands don't disappear, just the icons.

Anyone run into something like this?
