The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed.

I have a small Windows Form app in Visual C++ .NET 2003. I opened it up
today and got the following message on the [Design] tab for my form.

An error occured while loading the document. Fix the error, and then try
laoding the document again. The error message follos:
The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes
within it can be designed.

I don't have any custom code in InitializeComponent. I have commented out
the custom code I added to Form1(void). No good.

The thing compiles & runs, but I need to add another button ... and I can't!
I have rebooted, done a Build Clean, restarted VS.Net, deleted the temp,
debug, and release folders, restarted VS.Net again and again ... no good.

What do I need to do to get this thing to function?

thanks.
