After VS Service Pack install, cannot design a user control

I need a forum to answer the issue:

I just installed VS.Newt 2003 Service Pack 1, and now, whenever I try to design a user control, I get the error:

The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file:

CAT_Import_Menu --- The designer for base class 'System.Windows.Forms.UserControl' is not installed.

!!!

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Windows.Forms library, but to no avail.

After VS Service Pack install, cannot design a user control

    Hi, there is no option to uninstall the VS.Net Service Pack 1. I don't see it listed as a separate item in Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs.

    I have tried installing the service pack twice.

    After the service pack install, the UserControl was gone from the Toolbox. I had to re-add it. Very strange. Now that item is causing a bunch of errors. It looks like a bug in the service pack. Is anyone here from Microsoft

    I don't know what to suggest but what happens if you uninstall SP1 Does it work then Try installing SP1 again after uninstalling.

    there are plenty folks here from Microsoft but whenever they read this..who knows

    to show the SP1, make sure you click/check the "Show Updates" in the add/remove programs in Control Panel.

    uninstall it, add the control and see what happens. If it works, then reinstall SP1 after a reboot.

    Of course, submit any bugs or feedback/look through existing issues on the http://connect.microsoft.com site
