I want to build some small applications for ppc/smart phone.
While writing an application using C#, I could not get the toolbox to show
any controls, even after doing "reset" several times. I added class elements for those controls manually and the program worked properly on the emulator.
I found later in the same forum that several resets can solve the problem. I did that and it worked!! I got the controls back.
But when I opened a VB smart device application, I am unable to see the form design view (where we see the form grid), Instead I am getting a long list of errors as follows:
>>>>>>
One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.
Input string was not in a correct format.

I also installed the "hot fix" for this issue which was issued (probably prior to the SP1). But even this didnt fix my problem.
I will be unable to use VB if the form designer doesnt show up
I am able to debug and see the form in the emulator.
Can someone help me resolve the problems. Did i miss something while installation?
