Can't open a Visual Studio 2013 project, in design view


I'm trying to open the design view of "Form1.cs", but I can't see the design view. I obtain that message:

enter image description here

That message is in Spanish, so I'm trying to translate to English (because I can't install English version...):

"To add components to the class, drag them from the toolbox and use the Properties window to set its properties. To create methods and events for the class, click here to switch to the code view."

The project works perfect, but I can't understand why Visual Studio don't let me see the design view. Quickly, my project show a matrix of a personalized buttons, that are created in execution time.

Thank you for your time.


Solution

  • Look like your form controls (i.e. buttons etc) are getting generated on run time (as you mentioned in the question). Visual Studio shows the static design only in design view any controls generated on runtime will not be shown in design view.
