Why can't I see the designer in this?

Please post your code as text in in code block (e.g. Use the button that looks like </> on the toolbar). Be sure to also post the generated code that the designer has made for you. (e.g. The contents of Form1.Designer.cs and Form2.Designer.cs) It's very hard to read any code from a screen recording.

My gut feel is that you actually have a web browser control, an active X control, or some other dynamic control set to fill the contents of your forms. Since those controls are only rendered at runtime, then there is no way for the Forms Designer to show a preview because it doesn't actually run your code while in Designer view.
