Windows Forms Designer option missing after Rider update (Build #RD-251.25410.119)
After updating Rider to version Build #RD-251.25410.119, the "Open in Designer" option disappeared for existing Windows Forms in my projects.
Details:
- I have multiple Windows Forms projects that worked fine before the update.
- After the update, forms that were created and worked previously no longer show the "Open in Designer" option.
- When I open such a project, the Designer button appears briefly, but disappears after indexing completes.
- If I create a new Form in the same project — it does show the Designer option and works correctly.
Question:
How can I re-enable the designer for existing Forms in my project?
How can I tell Rider that these are valid Windows Forms and should open in the designer?
Thanks.

Turns out, I had to delete the *.resx file, and the class was immediately recognized as a form.
