I have a grid and can no longer select it in design view in Visual Studio 2005. Instead, it's showing up at the bottom where timers and data sources usually show up. Is this expected behavior? If so, how do I pull up the pop-up that lets me select themes and other appearence options? This is within a user control.
Thanks.

It could have happened when I uninstalled the trial version and installed the full version. Is there a script or program I should run? Or should I try reinstalling?
Hi Nick,
This indicates a problem with the grid's Design assembly. If Visual Studio can't find the grid designer, it will display the control as a component in the component tray. So something has apparently corrupted your installation and removed the design assembly from the GAC, or maybe you have the wrong version.
Any idea how that might have happened? Did you properly install the controls on the machine?
