'There is no editor available' error in VS 2010

Question

When I tried to select designer view in VS 2010 I get this error:

There is no editor available for \'c:\\user\\teadrinkinggeek\\documents\\visual

Answer 1

I am very new to VS 2010 and I had this same problem. I spent hours on the net to no avail. Out of desperation I created a new solution and the copied all my existing files into it's directory. I then entered my new app and said "show all files". All my 'old' files were displayed, with "white icons" . I then right-clicked each file and said add to project for each one. I then rebuilt all and everything is back to normal and it did not take long. Hope it can help someone. I know it does not sound to professional, but hey, it works. Arthur Oliver
