Turn off separate Designer file for Forms/UserControls

i think it was on 1 file in studio 2003. in 2005, it separates everything. actually you grow used to it, its cleaner to have the initialization code for the form apart from your main code.

Are you asking how to hide the designer file ?

if so : Toggle the "Show All files" button located above the soltions explorer tree.

but then I think you already know that ?  
So what are you asking ?   :)

In 2003, they used to integrate the whole lot into one file.

Now the designer code is out of the way to a separate .Designer file via a partial class :-( which I don't particularly like.

I actually preferred it all in one file, which makes it easy for me to make designer code changes without having to 'Show All Files' and open the Designer file.

The thing is for people learning vb.net, the code which is commented as 'do not change' should not be with the user code.
But after a while I ended up changing the code there quite often.

VB 2005 designer supports forms developed in VB 2003. This means, you can manually copy designer-generated code from frmMain.Designer.vb to frmMain.vb - do this exactly like VB 2003 designer did. Then remove frmMain.Designer.vb file.

Hmm I was wishing there was a way it would do this automatically when I add a new form to the project. :-(

Hi AlexFM

Hmm, I guess given the situation, you have answerd the question as best as can be answered - so you get the points.
