VS.NET no "design view" when reopening files...

[nstouffer]

Has anyone had this problem?
If you are working in VS.net, I've got some .aspx files open and i can toggle between design/html view. But I went to duplicate this file, and did a "Save As", and typed in a new name. Well, form1.aspx closed and form2.aspx the "save as" file is now up. I went to reopen the original form1.aspx and it opens, but it won't allow me to toggle it back to design view... What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

ns: I've only recently moved to an SQL Server using Visual Studio.NET but have seen a similar problem. My general rule of thumb is to 'not' copy web forms and re-create them from scratch -- perhaps the code-behind page is not made or made insufficiently; registration not carried out, something not done -- though one would think if the option to copy is there it'd work trouble free.

I had the same problem... IT's not a problem to fix...

In html view of new file, Make sure the top line references the right file name... Then in the code behind file, make sure the
Puc Class PageName
is the right page name...

then it should work fine... I do that all the time...

If you try to Build it, It will probably give you that line as an error since it excists twice...

Just my experience...
