The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed
Yes I already searched and the solution on this post didnt work, my scenario is different.
I have a winform application, very simple, it was working, and now the error on the title of this post is shown when I try to open the form.
The only thing I have done is installed VS11 developer preview and vs 2010 SP1.
Any idea how to fix this?>

Just had this happen to me. I was banging my head on my desk in frustration as to why. Closed and reopened Visual Studio and it was fixed. Weird.

I managed to solve it, I checked on properties of the project and the framework selected was .net 4.0 client profile.
I changed it to .net 4.0 and then it worked.
by the way what does it mean client profile, what is it for??
