forms wont open in design view

David McEleney

Hi guys,

I'm workin on a project containing many classes and forms.

When i try to open some of the forms in design view they display an error like this: http://www.buncrana.com/uploads/VS-Design-Error.JPG (click for screenshot).

The application compiles and executes as expected.

Here is a simple class diagram: http://www.buncrana.com/uploads/UML-VS-DesignView.JPG

PropertyPage inherits UserControl, PropertyPage does very little and does nothing to effect the appearance of the window.

DateTimePropertysPage extends PropertyPage and has an "InitializeComponent()" method.

Any sugegstions?
Thanks in advance,

David

The files compile and execute alright, it's just that they wont open in design viw which makes it difficult for developers to modify them.

Sometimes they open ok, other times they wont.

Thanks for the feedback anyways !

David,
R u using Visual Studio 2005 and code was written in 2003 version. If it is, the code which is written in Visual Studio 2003 will be converted to 2005. Please try to compile the code in Visual Studio 2003 itself
