Visual Studio 2005: Errors while attempting to open the designer.

I have a project with 2 processes and 8 smart objects.  When I attempt to open process A, I get the following error:


 "One or more errors were encountered while attempting to open the designer.  Plese review these errors."


 "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."


 


I can not see the process at all, only this error message, which means I can not work on it.  The other process in the project opens just fine, as well as the smart objects.  I have attached the full error message as an attachment.


 


Any help would be greatly appreciated

This error usually occurs in cases where the process has Documentation View enabled before upgrading to 807 or if the process was initially designed in SP1.

Try the following:
1. Open the problem kprx in Notepad
2. In the process xml search for the "DocumentView" node and change the "IsEnabled" node within it from 1 to 0. As shown here:
<IsEnabled>0</IsEnabled>
</DocumentView>
3. Save and try to open the process again.


If this does not work I suggest that you open a support ticket.
