Winforms Designer Incompatible with Older Versions


I recently got a new computer and a copy of Visual Studios 2015. I opened some older projects (C#, winform, VS2010) and can edit the code just fine. However any changes to the UI in the designer, causes the entire UI to or not show part of the screen or glitch out.

Has any one ever experienced these issues? If so, how do I fix i?

Edit: I discovered the issue has to do with the AutoScaleMode attribute of my project's form.


Solution

  • I wound up setting the form's autoscalemode to none. Doing that seemed to take care of my issues. I had to reorganize my UI but that was worth having the ability to use the designer again.
