Enable Application Framework - Disappeared - VS2005 Pro

Hi all,

Everything was fine until yesterday... Now if I double click My project (Visual Basic 2005) I get to the Application page but the "Enable Application Framework" and "Windows application framework properties" does NOT show.

I need to enable the framework to change a couple settings. How can I make this checkbox appear again

If I create a new project this option will show perfect.

I think the cause of this problem was that I copied and pasted a form, renamed it I got lots of errors and I think I got Application.Myapp corrupted (opened it and saw lots of chinese characters). Closed the copied form, deleted it and I was able to get rid of all the errors (I think Application.Myapp is ok now).

I've got yesterday's backup but I'm not sure if I should replace just this Application.Myapp or if there exists a different solution. The project is compiling OK.

Any thoughts

Thanks,

ST

    I've never seen that checkbox ever appear for me.  I don't get it.  I have VS2005 with SP1 installed.  Any ideas

    Actually, I've closed the project, deleted file Application.myapp and reopened the project.

    VS generated the file again... and all my settings were set to what I had previously...

    Strange but true... It worked fine... Not sure if there are side-effects though...

    Thanks,

    The setting is in your vbproj file. Open it with notepad and change:

    <MyType>None</MyType>

    to

    <MyType>WindowsForms</MyType>

    I just realized that this option only appears if it is a VB application. How can I do this with a C# app I like C# much better :)
