I have developed a win form application using vb.net 2.0, mistakenly my vbproj file deleted. Now the issue is that when i open the solution in the design view all my forms ( 170 + ) shown blank. but when i run the application all the controls are properly displayed and application is running fine. Issue is why all forms are shown BLANK in design view , as i cant make any changes to the design now.

The icon in soultions explorer has also changed from a form to a sinple vb reference. Im unable to right click in solutions explorer and view designer as there is no option there.

View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there is any advantage to do everything programmatically instead of using design view to create forms, controls etc. Would there be any difference in size and/or performance after you compile it? So far I've been doing pretty much everything programmatically, specifying all the properties that aren't default for my forms controls but I am starting to wonder is there are any advantages to this, apart from making it easier (sometime) to manage and change the behavior of my controls.

I seem to have reached a limit on the size of the form. I cannot make the form longer and I need to add more fields. Is there a limit on how many fields can be included in a form?
View 1 RepliesI have a project where the user can view the print preview after finish using it. But after the 1st print preview is closed, when the 2nd time the user want to view the new print preview, the last is also shown. I don't want to have it closed everytime I want to print preview the new one. I've tried ".Refresh" but it doesn't work. This is my 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.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to fill a ListView control in a VB2005 project. It works fine from underpinning (Access) database IF all the data is present. However, if a field is blank (in this case - a field called "Actual Date" which is meant to be blank for this record), the ListView will stop populating at that point.I thought this may have been the 'CausesValidation' property of the ListView but that doesn't seem to change the behaviour.Is this an inherent feature of the ListView - if so it seems daft - or is there a property I need to change or an override that I need to code?
View 4 RepliesI 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.

My project runs fine. I can compile and do all that good stuff. But I can not see for in design view.
I am making a program using Windows Form Application, and I had it set up in the design view. I double clicked a button to begin coding and up popped a ton of stuff in the code view that I had never seen before. I closed that, and somehow closed the design view by accident too. Now I can't get my design view back, even by re-opening the program (I didn't save), and double clicking the form to open it. It opens up as "Form1.vb" rather than "Form1.vb [Design]".What happened, how can I fix this and get my design view back?
View 2 RepliesI have an application with a few forms. The main form, and 2 others. When I click a button on the main form, one of the others display "attached". When I move the main form or one of the other forms around the 'attached" forms follow. The problem is that sometimes if you have another application on top of one of the forms, and click the other form, both forms dont come to the front. How can I make that happen? I've already tried things like on bringtofront for all the forms but I also don't want to take focus away and if I do that it ends up in a loop of grabbing focus via activation.
View 5 Repliesi'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.

View 5 RepliesSo 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.
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.
View 8 RepliesI 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
View 1 RepliesI have been going a couple of directions as I learn and try to figure out more. Basically, I have a form that has a tab control that contains 6 tabs and tons of controls on each tab. They are like Orders, Invoice, Customer Info, Quotes... What I would ultimately like to do is have individual forms that fit into the tab with a parent/child relationship as well as be able to not use them in a parent/child type of relationship so that they can be used as stand alone forms.
I have done something like this, but the form moves around. I would like to lock it into the top left so that everything lines up.
Dim frm As New Form2
frm.Show()
SetParent(frm.Handle, tab1.Handle)
I also have to pass values from sibling to sibling, but I think that I can handle that if I can come up with a good format.
So overall, I would to have forms that could be in a tab or just displayed as a child not in the tab.

View 10 RepliesI 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
