Hi,

I have moved some of the implementation of a form into a second
file and enclosed it with "partial class ..." VS wants to give the
second file its own designer form. How do I prevent that and how
do I get rid of the second one?

Thanks,
Gary

I should have added that I started with a blank code file for the second
implementation file.
 
Not sure how to prevent VS to display the blank designer form, but you can
manually modify the project file for your partial class to include the
following node:
<DependentUpon>MyFormFileName.cs</DependentUpon>
(or vb) - this way when you open your project, the partial class appears
under your form, sumilar to Designer class. You will still need to open with
View-Code rather then double-clicking though.

If anyone knows how to let VS know that the new partial definition should
NOT have a separate (blank) designer, or at least how to define default
opening action on it as code view - would appreciate a lot.
