When form is opened in the designer, the code in the InitializeComponent method of the form is executed. If there's something wrong in the InitializeComponent method, the form can't be opened in the designer properly.
The error youshow says "The variable 'mi' is either undeclared or was never assigned." Please check the variable 'mi' in the InitializeComponent method of the form to see if it is never assigned. If variable 'mi' isn't used at all, just delete it. After you correct the source code, re-open the form to see if it can be opened properly.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,

Linda, I think Neo is experiencing the same problem as me; which is that the type of issue that he is really reporting is that, rather than a receiving the issue as an HTML representation, the error is displayed as unformated HTML. This seems to be related to IE8 as I was forced during the IE8 beta, to uninstall IE8 after an unknown build changed the behaviour of Visual Studio. These issues are hard enough to resolve normally, without the added challenge of the HTML not being rendered into a viewable page. I thought I had left this issue behind me by rejecting IE8 in favor of google chrome, but I've been forced to readdress this issue, due to IE8 being deployed as my company standard. So all that being said, is thisissue resolved in any way, I've searched the web and found numerous references to the issue, but no solution. Thanks Mark Stone | | stoned99 Monday, June 01, 2009 11:26 PM | Has this problem been resolved yet? I'm not talking about the underlying designer error. I'm talking about the display of un-formatted HTML We, too, recently went from IE7 to IE8 and now all designer errors in VS2005 show un-formatted HTML instead of the error screen with the red bar.
TIA.

My theory is it's to do with IE8 security and where the tmp file is created that's rendered into HTML. I tinkered a little with permissions, but due to time constraints took the easy way out and reverted back to IE7.
One last comment, Linda marked this thread as answered, which is why it drops off the face of the earth, but I don't think she really understood the issue, I had the same issue in my thread where a mod tried to mark the issues as answered, and I had to reject the moderators answer so that the thread remains somewhat visible, although completely ignored.

| | stoned99 Tuesday, August 25, 2009 3:41 PM | Thanks for the reply, Mark. Seems like the ultimate solution may be to uninstall IE8. Based on other things I've seen via Google, seems like it might be related to security settings, so I guess I"ll play around with those for a bit. I'll post back here with the results.
