Every once in a while, while working on a windows app in VS.NET2003, I lose the design view of a particular form. The solution Explorer only displays it as a class and there is no way to access the design view of the form. The components all still exist...
Oh, this is just SO satisfying. I have finished refactoring my app and it's so cool to see this working just the way I had dreamt it up. I was only able to do this from a lot of ideas I have collected from many of the presentations at Vermont.NET over...
