I have a VB.NET project under Visual Studio 2008.

Inside that project, I receive this error:

There is no editor available for <filename>.
Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed.

The error happens whenever I try to bring up the designer view of the form associated with the .VB file.

For example, if I double-click the .VB file, I get the error. However, I can right-click the file and "view code", and that works fine.

However if I do a "View Code" and then right-click and hit "View Designer", I still get the error.

Here is what I've tried so far:

 devenv /resetskippkgs
 devenv /resetsettings
 Tools->Options->Restore File Associations
 Deleted the .SUO file associated with the project

Finally I should note that if I create a brand new VB project, this problem does not occur. Furthermore, the project with this problem does compile and build correctly.

Thanks for any help.
