Visual Studio GridView designer bug

There is a bug in Visual Studio 2008 that prevents property changes in design view from being reflected back to source code when controls are embedded in wizards or master pages. For simple controls this is not a big deal, but for complex controls, like DevExpress's ASPxGridView, the designer is a huge time saver -- which is the only reason you pay good money for a nice RAD toolkit in the first place.

Luckily, there is a hotfix:

Get it.
