How do I open a Visual Studio project in design view?

You can double click directly on the .cs file representing your form in the Solution Explorer :

This will open Form1.cs [Design], which contains the drag&drop controls.

If you are directly in the code behind (The file named Form1.cs, without “[Design]”), you can press Shift + F7 (or only F7 depending on the project type) instead to open it.

From the design view, you can switch back to the Code Behind by pressing F7.
