Hello,
When I am opening the solution file in Visual Studio2008, the following error message is
displayed.
-----------------
To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved:
"The class Form1 can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual Studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again. "
-------------------
The code is not opening though the application is running.
What is to be done? to remove this error.
