Designer gone away

guy
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

guy
