Forms Designer & Nested Namespace Problem

[rmacias]

I apologize if this message appears in duplicates. I've posted this issue
several times and it's been almost 20 minute and none of my post are showing
up. Here's my problem:

I'm creating a Windows form application in VC++ .NET 2003. I'm creating the
UI is a nested namespace as follows:

namespace MyApplication
{
namespace GUI
{
//form class goes here
}
}

The above code breaks the form designer and generates the following error:

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

However, when the form is not defined in a nested namespace, the form
designer works.

Does anybody know how to solve this issue?

Thanks!
