file failed to load in web form designer

[Guest]

Hi,

I am receiving this message when I start up VS.NET 1.0 on WinXP, File Failed
to load in WEb Form designer. Please correct the following error, then load
it again: Exception from HRESULT:0X80131019.

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix/avoid this error?

Thanks,

whatever form it's trying to load on intial startup has some whacked
code. Perhaps go into the file from a text editor and take a peek, or
else, if you arent too far into it, start a blank solution and bring the
files in. I THINK the proj file has the entry on which file to open when
you fire up the IDE, perhaps look there and clear that entry, so you can
bypass the Designer view, which is whats killing you

Thanks for your suggestion. However, we have already rolled out this app to
our client and I am now looking at it for additional changes they requested.
I have no idea why this error is arising. I have had no problems since the
rollout. Our solution file has approx. 10 projects within it, including the
webapp project. This error seems to happen on every form I try to view in
design view. There are almost 100 forms in the app.

If you could provide any additional help that would be great.

Thanks,
Alice

Ok... wait...
Is this happening when you open the project/solution or just when you
try to open a form in design view?

I had similar issues in the designer at one time. It ended up being a
lost reference (that seems to happen now and then).

It happens when I try to open a form/any form in the project. All the forms
seem to be having the same problems.

How did you fix it?

It was a while ago but if I remember it was a reference that needed to
be readded.... cant say which, sorry.
