Visual Studio only displaying HTML instead of Design View

[W4Rl0CK47]

Hi, I'm writing a Windows Forms application in C# and my design view is now only displaying HTML. Is this an alternative view for the form design and if so, how do I revert back? Have I managed to set some flag I shouldn't have? :doh: :)

My guess is that you are seeing XAML and not HTML, which would indicate you are creating a WPF windows application perhaps? Try choosing a non-WPF windows forms project.

There's no HTML for Windows Forms application, the design view is constructed from the designer generated C# code in the .designer.cs file. Are you referring to WPF application ? If that is the case, you are seeing XAML and not HTML.

Yea i got that too once in a while - basically due to an error in the code. What you could do was to close the form, compile the application and the open the form again. That works for me.. sometimes. Other option is to go into the designer mode and find the reason to the error - most often for me is that there is a reference to an image that is removed and is still referenced in that specific form or like. /Ronni
