This is probably the dumbest question you will get today but... I accidently deleted the form design tab for a VS C++ program and now I can't find any way to restore the design page. The code for the form is there but the design page is missing. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I should be more explicit. I am using VS 2010 and there is no provision on the bottom of the screen for code / design. The tab on the top used to say form1.h[design] and that's the one I'm trying to get back (no luck so far).

Would it be ok if you reset all your VS settings? If yes, try devenv /resetsettings in the command prompt.

Reinforced a valuable lesson here. More backups - more often. Finally gave up and started from the last backup. All was not lost. Hurt my ego a bit though. Thanks for the try.
