Visual Studio 2005 Error: Solution "One or more errors encountered while loading the designer"

"One or more errors encountered while loading the designer"

If you get this kind of error in the designer, here the steps to remediate the problem:

Close all windows within VS
Close VS
Goto the folder where you have your solution(s) via Explorer.
Check the properties of that folder -> Advanced -> Make sure that Indexing is turned off (including sub folders)

Now, the problem will (should) not come back.

Start VS
Build -> Rebuild Solution
Open the form in the designer

I do it according to your advice, but it still fail to open a Usercontrol form which I created. Do you have any other method?

It's difficult without the actual errors. Can you give a bit of more information on the errors you get?

# re: Visual Studio 2005 Error: Solution "One or more errors encountered while loading the designer"

Its just the closing & rebuilding thats solving your problem - there are many other more subtle issues that can cause a problem such as this - god knows what turning off indexing is supposed to achieve!

# re: Visual Studio 2005 Error: Solution "One or more errors encountered while loading the designer"

Turning off indexing and rebuilding did not help me as it should!!!! how come the indexing is linked to the errors posted by fred????????????

I tried the proposed solution on my system, it didn't work for. Although may reported it worked for them but how is the error related to folder indexing.I don't see the relationship. May be microsoft should give a better solution.

Hi,

Me too faced the same problem.

I solved it with installing the SP1 for Visual Studio 2005.
File: VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe from the Microsoft Download Sides.
