How to get form design view back?

[Brett]

For some reason, one of my forms has lost its design view. All the code is
still there. How can I get the design view back?

Thanks,
Brett

Try double-clicking the form in the Solution Explorer. If the Solution
Explorer is not visible, then you can find it under the View menu. Hope this
helps!

Brett,

After that you have made a backup.

Create a new form and delete from that all the code.
Cut all the code (including the designer part) from your old code.
Paste it in that new form.

Close that new form, open that new form.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Sounds like you have corrupted some code in the 'Windows Form Designer
generated code'

Take a look at your code in that section for any mistakes.

Try excluding the form from the project, and then re-including it.

Also ensure you *have* changed the name of the form class if you have made
a copy of it and reused the layout elsewhere. If you have two form classes
with the same name then generally one or both will not be recognised by the
designer and will therefore not respond to normal execution in the
designer.

That's all. After a few builds and running of the app, the design view came
back.

It was always there when I'd run the app. Guess the corruption only affects
the design view part.
