Why can't I see grid dots in Visual Studio 2008?

Question

I am just starting to learn visual basic with the professional edition of visual studio 2008. When I first started, I could see the grid dots on the form when designing. Now I can't see them. I've found the Tools>Options>Windows Forms Designer>General>Layout Settings>Show Grid option, but no matter how much I toggle the true or false option, nothing changes. There is probably a very obvious solution to my problem, but like all beginners, I don't see it. Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Answer 1

You need to close the form and reload it in order for Show Grid to take effect.
