Visual Studio Report Designer Displays HTML Only

I built the report in Visual Studio 2008. There was a problem with this (an error occurred while trying to view the report), and since then the report designer has only shown HTML,

<html>
    <head>
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title></title>
        <style>
        .ErrorStyle { 
            font-family: tahoma; 
            font-size: 11 pt; 
            text-align: left
        }. etc. etc.

I can view the report in debug mode, but it really doesn't help me.

How do I get a regular design again? Is it just broken? Has anyone had this yet?

It seems that the designer was having problems with the missing plug-in, which is necessary to display some data.

Check this line. Mine said Integrated, and I got the same results.

<rd:SecurityType>Windows</rd:SecurityType>

You can make a workaround that works sometimes, but not a final solution:

Right-click the form file> View Code, then in the code panel, right-click> View Designer.

If you do this, it can sometimes work and display the form correctly.

In addition, sometimes there is a missing / invalid link causing the problem, in this case just compile the project and make sure all the links are valid.
