Cannot view form - Designer Error
I am getting the error in my designer code "The designer cannot process the code at line 163, please see the Task List for details. The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again."
The task list says that it "Could not find an associated help topic for this error"
This is line 163
this.textBox_Command.TabIndex = 15;
This is the entire designer file. Ive spent hours trying to comment out each line by line but it just complains about the previous line when I do that.

Using the Designer code you posted, I was able to view the form. I am betting on old files, or VS just getting "confused". I cannot say it any better than that, and this type of thing has happened to me before.
First step is to Build -> Clean Solution. Then close and re-open the solution.
If this doesn't work, make sure to do what Dave S and Will mention above, and manually delete all /bin and /obj folders. Then close and re-open.
If neither of these of work, you can do a bit more debugging to see exactly where the problem is by opening your project (without opening the form), then open a 2nd blank Visual Studio window (no project), then use the "Attach" feature to select the first Visual Studio window ("devenv.exe" in the list that opens after you hit "Attach"). Next, open your form, and see where the error leads you.
I know this isn't a full solution, but hopefully it helps get to the next step of what is wrong. I wish you luck, as I know toying with tools is painful and unproductive.
