I have a project with forms and suddenly when I tried to open a form an
exception is raised:
Something like serialisation things. The form cannot be shown.

I tried to close solution, VS 2005, reopen.
Sometimes the error is gone, sometimes it comes back.
I don't know what exactly the problem is.

Are you referring to the VS form's designer? If so then this is a very
common annoyance (read bug). Exiting VS and then starting it again usually
fixes the problem (sometimes even re-building). The beta version of SP1
significantly reduces the problem in my experience but it's still not
perfect (much better though)
