Visual Studio 2003 VB.Net form no longer available in design mode ...

Is there any way to get a form to appear as a form, and not just in code view?

My developer has created an ancestor form while I was away last week and I now have no quick and easy way to view the form, align labels, edit labels, etc.

Also I am unable to now see easily the datasets associated to that form.

I just want to be able to see the form in design mode.

Any suggestions?

The best suggestion that comes to my mind is try to recover the previous version of the file from VSS. Hopefully, it even had been labelled before your developer set off upon doing all those major changes :). Anything else is possible, but more tedious and error prone.

Thank you!

I was afraid you were going to say that!! I deploy next week and no one aligned the labels with the text boxes or fixed some spelling mistakes... looks like I will be sifting through code for awhile.

It looks like your .aspx, .resx and .aspx.cs files for this form aren't in sync. Is that right?

Actually, it is more like my developer decided that a GUI version of the form is not needed and used a class to inherit from instead, so everything is now windows generated form code.

Oh, I see. Tough luck. If the VSS form version is unrecoverable or not feasible to recover from, I don't know of any quick way of getting the GUI component back other than manually. :(
