The designer could not be shown for this file ... in VS 2003 - Please HELP!

[Johann Blake]

Here is what I did to remedy the problem on my system:

1. Uninstalled Visual Studio.NET and any related programs that get
installed with Visual Studio.NEt (Framework 1.1, etc.)

2. Deleted the directory C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio. Repeat this for the
"All Users" directory under "Documents and Settings".

3. Removed any applications that had anything to do with eVB, eVC,
CompactFramework, SmartPhone SDK, etc.

4. Removed any residual directories on the hard drive that had to do
with eVB, eVC, CompactFramework, SmartPhone SDK, etc.

5. Removed from the registry everything that had to do with eVB, eVC,
"Windows CE", "Platman", "Visual Studio.NET"

5. Ran Microsoft RegClean to clean up the registry.

6. Rebooted the machine and reinstalled Visual Studio.NET 2003.

Hope this helps,
Johann Blake

I solved this problem but didn't have the time to post what I found.

All I had to do is delete the OBJ and BIN folders from all projects in
the solution, then choose rebuild all. It worked then without even
restarting Visual Studio.NET itself

I hope this helps

Happy to hear it worked.

I will be happier to learn that the next service release/service pack
will have this solved.
