@paul1956 you can't design any of the projects in this repo because of the namespace clash.

[paul1956]

@elachlan is crash after long pause the best that can be done? It's very easy to click on these files without realizing they are Forms. I would like to at least look at converting them to modern Form format with a .designer file. If something else can be done to prevent designer crash.

[elachlan]

Its because the designer uses the winforms assemblies from the sdk, so any of the projects that are those same assemblies won't be loaded.

Best work around is to not have designer files within our assembly, or to copy them to another project to design them and then copy them back.

@Shyam-Gupta might be able to explain it better.

[paul1956]

@elachlan we don't have designer files in repo but in VB the designer data can be part of the code file, so when you click on them to view code the designer opens. Try clicking on file below in your repo and the designer tries to open and there is no ProgressDialog.Designer,vb

..\Winforms\src\Microsoft.VisualBasic.Forms\src\Microsoft\VisualBasic\MyServices\Internal\ProgressDialog.vb

I was hoping to add a Designer file for these to avoid the designer from opening where I want to view source, sounds like that will not help. I can easily add this file to another project to open in designer.

[elachlan]

I see. VS should probably only enable the open in designer action when the designer file is present.

[paul1956]

@elachlan I have filed a VS feedback. You can close this if you want.

[merriemcgaw]

Do you have a link to the feedback ticket? @Shyam-Gupta will make sure it gets looked into.

[Philip-Wang01]

@merriemcgaw Here's the feedback from the customer(VS-WinForms-Designer-Crashes-when-openin), I think it's the similar as https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/issues/8448

[elachlan]

@Philip-Wang01 I also thought this. The issue is that the file does not have a .designer.cs file, so opening the designer makes no sense. Visual studio should just open the code view if the designer file is not present.

[paul1956]

The stuff that should be in Designer.vb is in a single file. This was the way it was before the partial class Designer files were added. I wanted to split it into 2 files but didn't because I thought the missing Designer file would prevent the crash.
