lose designer mode for forms

I have a vs.net compact framework project created in 1.1
The forms are not able to be seen in the designer mode any
more. If I go into the .vbdproj project file

I see
<File
RelPath = "forms\frmUpLoad.vb"
SubType = "Code"
BuildAction = "Compile"
/>
<File
RelPath = "forms\frmUpLoad.resx"
DependentUpon = "frmUpLoad.vb"
BuildAction = "EmbeddedResource"
/>
for the forms.
I changed the SubType to Form and it didn't help.

If I add a new form they all magically come back until I
close and open the project again.
 
Hi Chuck,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, the problem you are facing is that
the forms in a .NET Compact Framework project cannot be viewed in the
designer mode. Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding. I think
more information is needed before moving forward:

Does the problem occur to other project, say, other .NET Windows Forms
projects or other .NET Compact Framework projects?

If it occurs to a specific project, I recommend you create a new project
and add one form to it each time to find out which form (.vb or .resx
files) may cause the problem.

If the problem only occurs to .NET Compact Framework projects, I suggest
that you can also post at
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework.

I look forward to your response.

Have a nice day!

It is only occuring in this project which happens to be a
compact framework project. This does not appear to be an
isolated problem. If you search dejanews.com, you will
see similar.

Why do you think there is a problem with a form/resx file?
If I add a new form they all display ok.
 
Hi Chuck,

Thanks for your response. I did not find any known issue about this
problem. For further research, could you post a sample project which is
able to reproduce the problem? I will be glad to check it on my side.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Have a nice day!
