Unable to open SampleClientForm.cs in UA Sample Client

[openclipboard]

After opening UA Sample Applications.sln (VS 2013 Community Edition, Windows 7 x64), I see a variety of Samples. I can compile and build them (for example, the UA Sample Client, which is what I'm interested in).

Yet, when trying to open SampleClientForm.cs to examine how the client connects, I get an error (see below). I can open up the MainForm.cs for UA Network Tester, and a few other forms, but not this one. I can open up the ClientForm.cs from UA Sample Controls.

Excuse my flagging of this here. There is a tutorial on how to build your own client project here:

http://opcfoundation.github.io/UA-.NET/help/index.htm#client_development.htm

but it refers to VS .NET 2008, so I wonder if the documentation has been kept up to date.

Thanks. My goal is to insert an OPC UA Client into an existing piece of code to talk to a PLC to read and set a few registers, so I'm looking for a minimal set of tools to do the job.

Don't know if this is the correct location to post such a problem, but it is the only place I see for this topic.

Error is as follows:

The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: SampleClientForm --- The base class 'System.Object' cannot be designed.

Hello my friend, I am facing the same problem. Did you find a solution for this? I'd be happy to see the solution if you did.
