unable to open any windows form in the windows designer.(Make sure the application for the file type(.cs) is installed)

Hi,
I have a solution that contains 6 windows application, This was working fine untill I added the 6th project(win app.).Now I am unable to open any windows form on the machine.I can view the source code and everything compiles too and even executes without any issuesbut I cant open the win form in the designer.I get the following error on that machine whenever trying to open any windows form(Right Click : View Designer) :

Error : There is no editor available for ..\..\..\Main.cs
Make sure the application for the file type(.cs) is installed

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi praggy,

Which version of Visual Studio did you use? Did you refer the class defined in another project? Can all these project be compiled?

Hi Kira,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 Proffesional Edition.
No, I didnt refer any class defined in another project.
This all projects are getting compiled.No issues on that.

I cant see the windows designer nor can I see properties window of any project.
Also , when I try to open Properties I get the following error :

Unable to create the designer.No designer service for the file ../../../xyz.csproj

Thanks,
Parag
