    Designer gone away

    vb2005
    i was building a simple winforms test app (grid + 2 text boxes) all worked ok.
    i made a trivial change, compiled ok, ran ok, but from then on i could not
    display the form designer - no errors, it had just gone. everything else
    worked fine, and i couldnt see anything missing in the designer generated
    code.

    anyone else had this?

    Do you mean that clicking on the "View Designer" button on the Solution
    Explorer toolbar no longer works? If so, yes, some of us have seen that, or
    maybe it was the "View Code" button. The other menus should work fine and
    restaring the IDE should fix the problem.

      Hi Carlos,

      Exactly as you say, the View Designer fails, as does doubleclicking the form
      in solution explorer. A reboot fixed it, but even though this is a one
      control test application when the designer did load up it took approx a
      minute to do so

      and it has just happened again - different pc different application :(
      thanks
