  look like i have the same problem but i don't see anything about rafting.
  
  the error message points too

  Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.Size(8, 19)
  
  but the program runs okay with no problems just can't access the designer on any of my forms. here some of my code from the

  Windows Form Designer generated code

   

  Public Sub New()

  MyBase.New()

  'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.

  InitializeComponent()

  'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

  End Sub

  'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.

  Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)

  If disposing Then

  If Not (components Is Nothing) Then

  components.Dispose()

  End If

  End If

  MyBase.Dispose(disposing)

  End Sub

  'Required by the Windows Form Designer

  Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

  'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer

  'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.

  'Do not modify it using the code editor.

  If u still are having problems with this i solved it u have to change the .Size(8, 19)
  
  

  Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.Size(8, 19)
  
  to .SizeF(8, 19)
  
  

  Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(8, 19)

  because that is what i guess the new format is in VB 2005

  RaftingContainer has been removed.  To fix your form, remove all lines of code from the .designer.vb file that reference the word "rafting".
  
  I'm not sure about the AutoScaleDimensions issue, that code looks correct to me. 
  Remove the rafting lines of code and try to open in the designer again.
