Can't see #Region Windows Form Designer generated code

| For some reason I am no longer able to see the 'Windows Form Designer
generated code' section on any new Project that I start. To test, all I am
doing is starting a Visual Studio 2005 VB Windows Application with a single
form. When I view the code for the form the above section is no longer
visible. This is the case regardless of how many controls I add. I have
looked everywhere (I think) for a setting that controls this, but no joy.
Thanks for any help.

| Hi Schwaney,
VS.net 2005 does things a little differently. Instead of embedding the UI
display code in the main class for the form, it instead uses partial classes
to hide it away in a different file.
To view the UI code, first go to the solution explorer dockable window and
ensure that the 'show all files' toolbar button is selected. You should then
be able to expand the 'form1' node in the solution explorer window to see a
file called 'form1.designer.vb'. This is where the UI designer code now
lives.
VS 2005 uses this approach for new projects or new forms created in upgraded
2003 projects, but if you have a project you upgrade from VS 2003, the
upgraded forms use the old inline approach.
Hope it helps,
Richard.
