Unable to open form designer...
I just got up today, loaded up my project, and one of the forms won't open and gives me this error:

atMicrosoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.XML.CodeDomXmlProcessor.CreateQuoteExpression(XmlElementDataxmlElement)
atMicrosoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.XML.CodeDomXmlProcessor.XmlElementData.get_CodeDomElement()
atMicrosoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.XML.CodeDomXmlProcessor.EndElement(Stringprefix,Stringname,Stringurn)

atMicrosoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.XML.CodeDomXmlProcessor.ParseXml(StringxmlStream,CodeStatementCollectionstatementCollection,StringfileName,StringmethodName)
atMicrosoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomParser.OnMethodPopulateStatements(Objectsender,EventArgse)

atMicrosoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManagerserializationManager)
atSystem.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.BasicDesignerLoader.BeginLoad(IDesignerLoaderHosthost)

I have no idea what I did to make this happen, what could be wrong?

No, I didn't touch the .cs files.

I ended up restoring a backup version, luckily it was pretty recent.

Hi W1z8it,

Base on my understanding, you have got these error when you open a form in Visual Studio designer. Does this form a inherited form? Did you make any changes to the code in Designer.cs file?

You can try to rebuild the whole solution and then click the form to open it.

If you need further help, please feel free to tell me.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
