I was busy with a project, i'd thought I take a pauze of an hour I closed my computer. Now I open my project I have my wirtten codes but I can't see the designer anymore.. what can be the problem and how to get it back?
Edit: I can debbug :S But I can't design
Using the new Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta.Created a project, form, controls, etc. Worked great. Love it, compiled perfectly.Saved everything, closed the program, went to bed. Woke up, opened the project, but now CAN NOT open the form (form1.vb) in Designer mode!! I can open the code, it's all there, exactly as I left it, but cannot get back to the designer mode to (easily) add more controls to it!F7 just opens the code, right-click just gives me code option, not designer option.This is amazingly frustrating..
View 1 RepliesWhen I open VB projects in Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to view a form view designer I have started getting "File Download - Security Warning" Message prompting a .tmp file in the location of my project. If I close all open designers and rebuild the project I am then able to open the designers OK.I saw a suggestion to 'restore file associations' in Visual Studio and tried this but with no success.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to update an existing winforms application, that was created with a dataset control on all the winforms pages. I have ported it from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and I need to update the database section and connect it to the SQL backend using traditional code method.In the Solution explorer, when I click on the Dataset files, and click "Exclude From project" I am unable to build the project.Is it advisable to comment out the code lines that refer to the dataset in the .designer.vb files?

View 5 RepliesI use MS visual studio 2010. I did open designer and view the form for the same file A before. But after some small changes, I can no longer view the form designer.vb, but can only view code in designer.vb. Even if I go back to the original source, I still can not open designer!!
The error is: The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following clsses in the file A-The base class BaseClass could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and all that projects have been built.

View 9 RepliesYesterday I installed vs2008, installed SP1 all seems well.I have converted a project (from VS2005), it works fine but....When I try and modify any of the forms none of the controls aer displayed on the form.Additionally I have noticed that each form has a formname.designer.vb file, the top few lines of the code in the designer.vb files are;
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Partial Class frmFullMarketView
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
[Code]....
Then my controls are listed. Do I have to copy the code held in the seperate designer.vb file back to the 'formname.vb' file for all my forms?If so, why does VS2008 create all this extra work when converting forms from vs2005?
I have a project in MS Visual Studio 2008 - VB.NET. I have opened and closed my project which consists of two forms multiple times.Today when I open my project I cannot find one of my forms in designer mode.If I run my application the form displays correctly but I cannot view in designer mode to make changes.
View 11 RepliesI am working in VB.Net 2010 framework 2.0. Suppose i declares a property
[Code]....
In the form designer, the property "MyColor" will be seen the value as 150, 145, 145. I want to see this value as "NewColor" in form designer. This is the same like ControlDark, ActiveBorder etc. system colors. I want that instead of the color value, designer should show the variable name. The .Net framework also use the above implementation for System Colors and same i want to do.
I copy/paste controls in the projects, then I noticed that there are many controls are listed in designer.vb which actually are not being used. how can I clean these? will it affect the UI performance? or, it does nto matter at all
View 4 RepliesI have no idea what I have done wrong here, so I'll just attach my project as a zip file and see if any of you are kind enough to look into it for me.I am reasonably experienced in C#.NET but having trouble using VB.NET for a school assignment.I cannot open half of my forms in designer view because "To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved".

I don't want to allow some properties from going into form's designer file but the those properties will present on the form(property grid). The behavior of these properties will be same always.
I used the following code:
<DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)>
Public Property GradientBegin() As Color = Color.Red
But the problem I am facing is that -> on the property grid after changing the "GradientBegin" color to other than RED and compiling the program, it is replacing the new changed value to RED again. So I am not able to change the color actually.
On a recent project I stumbled across a page of code that looked unfamiliar, but which evidently was the code behind my form design. I'll copy and paste an excerpt to show you what I mean:
'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
[code]....
I thought this was a useful way to back up my project via email because it's in text form. But now I can't find the same information. I've looked in the Object Browser but couldn't find it anywhere. I think I stumbled on it the first time by right clicking Go to definition, but now that doesn't take me anywhere if I click on say form1. So where will I find this mysterious page that has all the form items information in text, not graphic form? Can't find it anywhere.

Just wanted to know if you had some design code which was created, and that is all you have. Can you open this designer code and create the actual working main Form from this? I don't need this designer code for any specific task, just wanted to know if there is a command within VB Studio 2010 that creates the actual Form from the design code. For example; The following piece of designer code is for a simple program that finds the Circumference of a Circle.

When I try to open up a form designer, all I see is code and no form! How can I open up the designer, since the code says to modify using the designer and not the code editor?[code]....

I have opened a VB project which was created using a previous version of VB. So, it popped up the conversion wizard and it completed the conversion to 2010.
But when I tried to view the forms (using "View Designer"), it shows the following message[code]...
I moved a project so I could work on it in two places. When I opened the project, I have only worked on it from one computer, my form did not show in the solution explorer so I moved it back. I opened the project and everything was there but I was not able to see my form layout in designer view. The code is there and it builds and looks right but I can't see any of my form components and I need to edit some properties.

While I am asking this for VB I verified this issue also occurs in C# so I think it is a .NET issue. I am using Visual Studio 2010 Premium Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel with .NET Version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel.
Step to recreate the problem.
Create a new Windows Application for Visual Basic (WinForms).
Add a ToolStrip.
Add a ToolStripComboBox to the ToolStrip.
Save, note the width of the combo box.
Change the padding on the combo pax to 2.
Save and close the form designer.
Reopen the form designer, look at combo box width - it decreased. Note that form is marked as having been modified. So save it and close the designer again. Reopen the designer and look at the combo box width - it will have shrunk every time you save, close, and reopen until you get to a 0 width. It shrinks by 4 * the padding size. Why would padding affect the size since that is the interior margin where as the margin settings are the exterior margins.
I am working in vb.net 2010 framework 2.0I am using a custom panel and painting it. For this i am using the gradientbegincolor and gradientendcolor (as color) properties in custom panelWhat i want is gradientbegincolor and gradientendcolor in form designer should not store any color instead it should store the name for these color
View 12 RepliesI know lots of you have had problems with the form designer giving errors and refusing to show the actual form, mostly because of some transition in software i take it (i aren't a Full time programmer, its just a hobby.)My problem is similar, vb refuses to show me my form and now i have even more problems.the last thing i did before this happened was try to add an imagebox to the form.Heres a few errors i get:every label i have is no longer declared?event 'load' cannot be found- My other problem is, i managed to close the designer window during this problem and i cant remember how to get it back up
