I used Visual Studio 2013, It is easy to open design view or code view of a winform. Like this
But now I upgrade to VS 2015, I can only right click on winform then choose Code view or press F7 to switch from design to code view
Is there anyway to open code view as VS 2013 in VS2015?
Yes you can. Here is a screenshot of my VS15. If I rightclick on the highlighted line, it brings up the option to open either the code view or the design view. I tend to agree with Hans, I think your install may be damaged.

when I create a new project the first time I can see the Design viewer option, but when I close VS and reload the project the second time I can't see the design viewer anymore, I didn't find the solution please help!
When you open VS you may see the code page. If you want to see the designer view, click in the menu View and Designer. You can also use the shortcut SHIFT+F7. But first make sure, you opened the file in the project explorer.
I am using Visual Studio 2015.
In my C# class at school we are designing a Windows Form App. We started the project in class, and checked it into our TFS so I can use it at home. I loaded it at home and under the design tab it just shows the code view, not the design view, but whenever I press "Start" it opens up and shows everything and lets me use save stuff and reopen them in the listbox.
So at home I am unable to see the design so I can't add buttons, textboxs, etc.
How am I able to make it show the design view and not just the code view?
Try to highlight the [Formname].cs File in your solution explorer. Then press [Shift]+[F7]. This should do the Trick.
I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.

What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

How do I open a Visual Studio project in design view?
The question says it all... its pretty simple, and it can be done by selecting the file and pressing F7 but I'm always double clicking accidentally and visual studio takes forever to open the design view page (even if its almost empty), but I just wanna go straight to the code.
Any tips?
I had this problem too. My solution was to change Visual Studio to open up pages in HTML view by default. Because VS doesn't need to format the page, this is MUCH quicker. You can see how to get Visual Studio to open pages in HTML view at http://www.wiseowl.co.uk/blog/s153/visual-studio-html-view.htm.
To tell Visual Studio 2010 to open files automatically in Source view,
Tools -> Options
Select the General section of the HTML Designer tab.
Choose to start pages in Source View.
Just incase Andy's link dies, the method to make Visual Studio open ASPX pages in HTML view rather than the default designer view:
Go to Tools -> Options. Select HTML Designer from the menu at left. Select "HTML View" for HTML pages, Active Server Pages and Web Form pages. Click OK.
This forces VS to open pages in HTML view, which for developers is usually the view we work in for editing ASPX templates. In addition, it addresses the original issue of this question, which is getting VS to open pages faster, since it doesn't have to render a designer view.
I think you are asking to configure VS2010 to take you to the .cs / .vb file when you double click on the aspx page, but you could also be asking about make it go to the html source view.
If you are wondering about the latter (html source view), here is a screenshot of what setting to change.

I hope this helps.
Can anyone please help me understand why the "Generate Local Resource" option is disabled in my Visual Studio 2010 (premium version)? I have a simple Website and first of all I couldn't find the option in the menu, then I figured how to show it in the menu but is's always disabled... I'm going crazy with this.
Make sure that your page is open in Page Design View.
This option is a designer-based command, and will always be disabled unless you are in the design view with your page fully loaded.
In my case (using Visual studio 2012), the option is sometimes greyed out even when in design view. To fix it, just switch to source view and back to design view again.
