Lost my Design view for a Windows Form (VB 2005)I have 2 forms, Form1.vb and Form2.vb.
In Solution Explorer, Form2.vb no longer shows a Form icon nor do I have the option to open Form2.vb [design] in the main explorer window where usually I have the design view options for any forms. I don't get it. Why can I not get back to design view for Form2?? Thanks, Ryan Ryan wrote:

You might also try right clicking on it and choose open with designer. Hi,
If Chris's suggestion does not work close visual studio and open it from the command promt and reset visual studio's settings. devenv /resetsettings http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ms241273.aspx Ken ------------------------------ Show quoteHide quote "Ryan" wrote: > I have 2 forms, Form1.vb and Form2.vb. > In Solution Explorer, Form2.vb no longer shows a Form icon nor do I have the > option to open Form2.vb [design] in the main explorer window where usually I > have the design view options for any forms. > I don't get it.

problem. I don't get it.. the form still works properly when I debug the application (F5), but I cannot get to its design view. I've looked at the designer.vb files (which I have not modified) and they both inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Form Partial Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form The Icon for "View Designer" is not available at the top of the Solution Explorer for Form2.vb nor is it an option when I right click on Form2.vb (View Designer is an option in both placed for Form1.vb).
