In Visual Studio, a certain project has a designer window open which is crashing

In Visual Studio, a certain project has a designer window open which is crashing visual studio. As soon as I open visual studio it crashes. I know that if I could close that designer, I’d be back in business. But I can’t click the close button on the designer view before studio crashes.

What should I do?

Note: I tried devenv.exe /safemode. When I tried this, the designer still was open and the DevExpress suite loaded, and the guage control was showing on the design surface, and then studio crashed.

    If the project is part of a Visual Studio Solution you can delete the solution user options file ([Solution File Name].suo). This way Visual Studio will not open any files when starting.

    You would probably continue to have the problem as soon as you open that designer though.
