Hello,

I made an upgrade my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. After a new instalation VS2005 (same as before) I did also all necessary updates (see info below *****)

So may problem is when i open an existing project i can't view or edit form components ( I see only code in Form.Designer.vb, Form.vb shows onlj a blank screen).

If anyone has some idea what's wrong or missing.

Thank's in advance

Regards, Bojan

Solution 1

Hi , if you have Visual Studio.net 2005 software, try installing on top of
Windows 7 , then SP1 and then the VS2005-Vista update. Three install,
ignore the warnings if any and continue to install

Thanks for your Answer, I did everything as you said, restart my computer after all but I still have the same problem. There isn't any problem if I create a new project or new form, but i don't want to do this.

I Solve my problem. I have my code written in file Form1.Designer.vb and nothing in Form1.vb. When I move (cut & paste) all code to Form1.vb, run debugging, right click on Form1.vb (in Solution explorer)
and point to view Designer the form appears in windov Form1.vb[Design].
That's what I want. Thank all, who trying to help me.
With Best Regards,
Bojan
