IDE :: Form Exists As It Opens In Runtime But I Can't Seem To Open The Design View?

Jun 23, 2010

I created primary/start up Form for my VB2005 app (called Admin.vb). Now when I go back to the solution explorer, I can see Admin.vb but it doesn't have the form icon and clicking it doesn't open the form. Instead it opens the code.All of my other forms are fine and have the right icons and open in the [Design] view ...The form obviously still exists as it opens in runtime but I can't seem to open the design view for it.

[2008] Form Outside Design View

Jan 24, 2009

I often get this problem. I open a form in design mode and the form is not in view and scrollers can't get to it. Sometimes it's cut in half and the other half is outside the window but there's no way to move the form inside the design space to see the form in full. Sounds like a lame problem but I can't find a way to properly open the form

Unable To Open [Design] View

Apr 16, 2009

So there I was working on a project. I was putting the finishing touches on the GUI and clicked on the Image list I had added. VB froze up a moment, and when it came back I was on a code view of the form showing the properties I had just set up in the GUI. Suddenly, I can in no way view the form. I get a View code option, but no View designer. If I close out the project and open another, there it is "View Designer" right where I expect it. But in the project I was working on, it is just plain gone.

Is there something I am missing here? Can I recover my project?

If I run it in the debuger the whole form shows perfectly, I just can't get to it to edit it.

VS 2008 - Cannot Open Form In Design Mode?

Apr 5, 2009

I am using Visual studio express 2008. I was working on a VB project for a few hours. Then I did something,(I think I just double clicked the form ) and I cannot open it in design mode. By Design mode I mean so you can see the controls, and ad buttons and stuff. The form still runs, if I run it. I see the form in the Solution explorer. From solution explorer, if I show all Files , then open FrmMain.Designer.vb, I can see my code. If I go to the project menu item and insert New Windows Form the new form works like I expect it too, I can see it. I need to be able to see my form.

Cannot See Design View Of Form

May 2, 2009

I was loading my project when my computer rebooted suddenly. After it came back up, I went to load my project again and got an error about "an error occured when loading in the design view..this has been disabled" - sorry I did not get the exact message but it was something like this. Then when my project opened up, I now cannot see my form in the design view anymore. It still run's fine, but there is no code displayed and the form itself does not display in IDE anymore. I can see the code for the form only on the form.designer.vb mode.I have continues backup installed, and restored several versions of the class files for the form, but yet still no luck.

Aug 7, 2005

i'm on day one with VB05 express Beta 2 after a several-year break from VB6 after having a sudden surge of programming inspiration. i must say i'm quite impressed with a lot of the features, however, i'm really stumped by something that must be so simple that i'm just looking too hard or something.i've been looking for hours at how to return to the graphic design view of a form. i can't find it anywhere. all of the code from when i closed my project is still there but the visual representation of the form itself is nowhere to be found.

Error: Form Design View Has Dissapeared?

Dec 4, 2006

I have a windows application with a large form named QueryForm which I can no longer open in the design view. When I debug the project the form displays as normal and when I view all files you get the two files QueryForm.Designer.vb and QueryForm.resx. Is there any way I can re-assosciate this file as a form so I can use the design view again instead of having to recreate the form all over again? I have added a new form which works fine in design view and cannot think of any reason why the form will not work in the design mode

UserControl Disappears From Form Design View On Run?

Jul 24, 2009

I have a custom UserControl that I am hosting inside a FlowLayoutPanel. Each time that I run the application the control will disappear off the hosting form's design view. I have to close the form's design view and then reopen it each time. The control is not getting removed in any way, just isn't being shown.

Edit, alright this got a bit weirder. Only the first usercontrol that I put into the FlowLayoutPanel disappears. This problem also happens on a project Build and Rebuild.

MicrosoftReportViewer Doesn't Show Up In Form In Design View

Jun 6, 2011

I have created a form and dropped a MicrosoftReportViewer onto the form. It appears in the control panel on the bottom of the design view but it will not show up in the form. This is the second form I have done like this. The first one is fine. I can see the report viewer in the form and reports work correctly. For the second form nothing. Something I did notice is that in the first form the ReportViewer1 has a name in properties. In the second form there is no line with the name of the control.

VS 2008 Design View Missing?

Feb 17, 2010

Just a quick questio with what I'm sure will recieve an incredibly simple answer.Problem: After saving and restarting Vb the project I am working on seems to lose design view. In the 'view' drop down menu where you would see 'code menu f7' 'design view shift + f7' I only see the code view and not the design view. The tab for my project which would normally say form1.vb (design) now only says form1.vb. The coresponding window for that tab does not show the GUI I had created just a blank white page.
