Designer view won't work!

When I try to switch to designer view I get an error report dialog:::
"Microsoft (R) Visual Basic Compiler has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."
After the error report dialog, I get a messagebox that says "More data is available"

I can still compile projects and they work fine, but I can not view the designer.
I have tried reinstalling Vb.net express but the error still occurs.



Anyone know how to fix this

Designer view won't work!

  • That One Developer Guy

    I am having the same issue... reinstalled everything. I noticed this problem with the designer after i publshed a 2003 .NET mobile project and also started using the suspend mode on my 2003 server... both of these could be possible issues you all might want to avoid. As of today I am still unable to "view designer" or create new projects for both analysis services or integration services. The only helpful information i receive is "more data is available" and its driving me nuts please help =)

    "Have you closed you project, shut VBE down, re-activated it, created a new project and tried to use the designer then "
    What do you mean by re-activated it Enter  a new registration code Because it already says this project has been reactivated.
    (this problem with the designer view is with all projects, new projects existing projects)

    I figured it out...

    I was putting my Private Subs in the .Designer.vb module. Once I moved all my own code out of the .Designer.vb module into the .vb module (and made it a Public Class) my form became "designable" again.

    Thanks for your help!

    (So much has changed since VB4...)

    Hmmm...

    I don't have any other ideas for you, except..

    What are the specs of your PC   Do you have enough memory

    The program creates no logs. (the program doesn't crash) I can write code and compile, but I can not use the designer...

    Did it happen to create any DrWatson logs

    This isn't crashing   Does VB not close after this or after the error report dialog

    VB  stays perfectly operational, I can write code, and compile/debug applications, but it wont let me view a form in the designer view. I can't drag controls like text boxes and buttons over onto the form.
