My laptop suddenly stopped working, forcing me onto my desktop computer. Of course, I'd made a backup of my projects. After unzipping them and downloading Visual C# 2005 Express, I opened my project. Well... the designer insists that I've modified code. I'm getting 64 build errors because it's missing references. How can this be
Even if I create a brand new Windows Form in that project, the designer
tells me "The designer cannot process the code at line 32: this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font; The code within the method
'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually
modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again."
One of the (64) build errors I get is "
The type or namespace name 'ApplicationSettingsBase' does not exist in the
namespace 'System.Configuration' (are you missing an assembly reference )
"
I'm not sure how I can suddenly be missing something. The backup should have been a complete folder copy. I've downloaded and installed the same program (I think). Does anyone have a solution for me
Thanks,
Eric
Designer can't process code, new build errors

Interestingly, if I start a new project and copy every single file from my old project, it works fine (mostly). So the problem is gone, if not solved.
