How to get deisgn view back after closing a project

[Trev]

Hi all,

I'm a complete and utter noob to anything to do with programming which I'm sure will be quite evident after you read the following question:

I have installed Visual Studio 2010, opened a "Windows form application" template and created a simple calculator that does addition and subtraction etc. I could drag and drop the buttons and lstBoxes etc from the toolbox onto the form in design view then go and write the code for each button. The problem I am having is when I save the project and close visual studio and then try to open my project again, all I get is the code and I can't figure out how to switch to design view. How do I get back the design view after closing a project and returning to it?!?!

It's driving me nuts so any help would be greatly appreciated.

In theory, all you need to do is double-click the form item in the Solution Explorer. You can also select the item and then click the Design button.

If that doesn't work then something in your project is corrupt. Post back if that's the case and we'll deal with it then.

I was saving it incorrectly!
Sorry for being a nub and wasting your time
