You will have to move your public class Str class to be after your public partial class Form1: Form. Then:

Navigate to your Solution Explorer , find the Form.cs you're looking for, right click on the form, click View Designer.


The reason it is important to have your public partial class Form1: Form first is because that lets Visual Studios know that that file is for a Form rather than just another .cs file. Thus, letting you view the file in designer view.

It may also be helpful to add a new Code File to the project, and have your other classes within it, creating references as needed (for organization). This can help with Form.cs files as it avoids this kind of mix up from happening !

Hope this helps!
