Hello,

I have a VisStudio.Net project with 16 forms. I had one of the forms open
in design view earlier today. Now, however, I can't open any form in design
view.
I get this message:
"An error occurred while loading the document. Fix the error, then try
loading the document again.
The error message follows:
Unspecified error."

TIA for any ideas on how to fix this.

I love VisStudio. I can now open my forms in design view, but have no idea
why.

Hi,

It appears you have done something to make the VS.NET load the forms again,
however since the error message didn't give any useful information; it is
hard to determine what causes the "phantom" problem:(

Good Luck!

I sometimes find that VS.NET can't reopen forms that were in the designer
when you closed the project. The simplest workaround is to delete the .suo
file (which remembers the windows you had open last time). If you can
remember to do it, close the designer windows before closing the project.

(Yes it IS annoying).

I've had the same problem -- in my case it went away once I deleted the
.csproj.user file for that project.

I'm using Vs.Net 2003.
