Some XSD files are opened immediately in Design view (see image below). While others in the same solution are opened in the table design view (where I see the table adapters visually).

I already checked here, but when I try to open it with the XML Schema Designer I still get the design view. How can I open the xsd file to actually see the table adapters again?

Right click the file.xsd, choose Open With... and choose Dataset Editor

Turns out I had to fiddle a little with opening the different files of the problematic dataset: .xsd, .designer.vb, clicking 'View Code' and View Designer and all of a sudden it opened again normally. I also restarted Visual Studio once or twice. Extremely strange, but it did the trick for me.
