may be i m asking a very vague question, but how to remove the dots that appear for spaces in the design and code view of the page. Dont know how it came and how to remove it and it looks very confusing.
I m new to this forum. Co-operation required
I am using Visual Studio 2005, I dnt know which short key I pressed but after that what happened is all the spaces or tabs are now converting into dots or arrows.
for example the code is displaying like that as shown below

I am finding for my ASP.NET web solutions that in certain situations the XML comments (member descriptions, parameter descriptions etc) aren't appearing with the intellisense for some of my classes. These situations are as follows:
Members of user controlsMembers of classes defined in a class library project which is not part of the solution This is a problem for me because those comments can provide some really useful info. why the XML metadata wouldn't be picked up by Intellisense and what I might do about it?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 for an MVC website project. I have an big problem and dont know hot to solve it. When i am looking to the output of html in firebug indents in my aspx and ascx files are outputed as space in same places. I think its about line ending of files but i am not sure how to fix them. I am adding some pictures about problem.
When i am adding a breakpoint it also add red background to spaces (this is problem) I try to delete spaces after hit ctrl+k d same problem happen. If i delete all indents make page 1 line without spaces output is fine but it not a solution.
More familar with DreamWeaver. Can i sync pages with the live site from somewhere in Visual Web Developer? Or do I need to use a separate FTP tool.
View 3 RepliesI am facing a problem in accessing the asp.net webpages remotely.
i am using the server as my windows 7 laptop with vs2008 and sql server 2008. when i try to connect from client XP PC it says time out error.
I chose the option to create a new ASP.NET Web Application (C#) project using VWD 2010 EXPRESS. Normally I choose the create an empty web site option. Anyways, It seems that everytime I needed to make a change in code behind that I would have to click save, then debug>build for the changes to take effect. This was working fine for three days, now all of a sudden it has stopped working. It doesnt seem to rebuild when I click build...though the output message says it succeeded.
I have even removed entire codeblocks from the codbehind (one that populated a dropdown), yet the drop down is still populated when the page is previewed (I have cleared the browser cache as well!). Also, I have tried to set Label1.text to various values and that does show either, like its not in the code.Is there a bug in VWD, or is there a setting I could have clicked unknowingly? I am gettingsome strange errors as well. For example, I am getting object reference not set to an instance of an object errors and the line it points to is a totally empty line
my VS is rendering my ASP.NET pages twice in the default IE browser when I press "View in browser" or "Start without debugging" button.
View 1 Replieshow to put what i am looking for. The best i can describe it is a flowchart type of layout that shows your all your ASP.NET pages and how they are linked to one another.
Example:
----------- -----------
|main page| |error.asp|
----------- /----------
-----------/ ------------
| login.asp| |footer.asp|
------------ /-----------
---------/ ------------
|Home.asp|---|Header.asp|
---------- ------------
/ ------------
--/----------- |Nav bar.asp|
|Products.asp| -------------
--------------
etc etc..
Is there any built-in things like that or 3rd party software that does what i am looking to do above?
i have created a web project and i want to test it.when i click on debug or click on default page to view on browser , ASP.NET Web Development Server Works but nothing appear in my web browser . even i used internal browser ofVisual Studio 2008 but it shows this message :

I'm using a 64bit dll (system.data.sqlite) in an Asp.net MVC app in VS 2010. The application runs and debugs fine, but all the aspx and ascx pages show errors when editing in Visual Studio 2010 and intellisense doesn't work. This is a VS2010 regression bug. Does anyone have a work around? (OR)Does anyone know of a free, reliable, production ready embeddable database that doesn't cause a 32/64 bit problem?More DetailsApparently this worked in Visual Studio 2008 and this has been is a known regression bug in Visual Studio 2010 for several months. I don't want to revert to VS 2008 and I don't want to debug in 32 bit mode.
I have web application that needs to debug and deploy as a 64 bit mode because it uses uses some unmanaged 64 bit dll's like system.data.sqlite. Also, I prefer debugging in 64 bit mode because it allows us to test some high memory use cases. After a lot of fiddling, Asp.net will deploy and run just fine. However all the aspx and ascx pages show errors and intellisense doesn't work when editing them in Visual Studio 2010. Apparently this worked in Visual Studio 2008 and this has been is a known problem in Visual Studio 2010 for months. I don't want to revert to VS 2008. There was a work around posted on SO here but it didn't work in my tests, limits debugging to 32bit mode, and also feels a bit hacky (I think it only works for VS Express style websites). Has anyone made this work in a web application or have a better work around?For those who are interested Visual Studio 2010 has two other problems with 64bit dlls that I have managed to work around.
Problem 1 - Cassini: Cassini can only debug in 32 bit modeSolution 1 - CassiniDev or Localhost: Debug using localhost or compile CassiniDev (an opensoure variant of cassini) in 64bit mode. I like the zero config simplicity of debugging a new web app with cassini so I used CassiniDev. You just stick the dlls in C:Program Files (x86)Common Filesmicrosoft sharedDevServer10.0 and it works (I recommended making a backup of the Cassini version you will be over writing).Problem 2 - MSTest: By default unit tests run with MSTest fail to load 64bit dlls.Solution 2 - AnyCPU & 64bit host process Instructions here, set local.testsettings to AnyCPU & 64bit host processI'm starting to think the whole setup is too little hacky and I'm on the verge of giving up and restructuring my application to not use a 64bit dll. I'm also really disappointed that Visual Studio 2010 caused all these problems. Can somebody make MS fix the regression bug they created?
I am taking over for a website in ASP.Net (VB.Net) where the live site is compiled code. So there's no code behind pages. So other than the ASP.Net pages, it's just DLL files in the bin folder.It's also at an ISP where I have no control over the server to remote in.
I have gotten from the client, what I believe to be the latest and greatest code. So there's code behind pages and also a vbproj file. It seems to be have done in an early version of Visual Studio.Thinking maybe 2003.I only have Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 (I've been using) and VS2005.So I made a very basic change just to test the waters and built the website, which made a brand new DLL for the site in bin. Also new pdb and xml document. It works fine on dev.I uploaded just this DLL to live. However on live, when I get to the part where I'm submitting a form.I get a very non descript error.

Is it possible to use VS 2008 Pro to edit classic ASP pages/projects? If so, what needs to be done? Is it advisable to use VS 2005 Pro instead?
View 2 RepliesI'm used to working with VS 2008 and toggling bookmarks in aspx pages was very useful, however in VS 2010 I'm unable to toggle bookmarks using the CTRL + K + K or the actual "Toggle bookmark" button from the bookmarks tool. Is there an option to enable this on the ASPX page, it works everywhere else though.
View 1 RepliesI inherited a web site which contains many stand-alone aspx pages (with the .NET code in the page rather than in a code-behind file).

View 1 RepliesI am wondering if it's possible to work on Content Place Holder window without seeing master page template?
The second problem i've noticed is that when i try to add a table (1 row, 3 columns) to my content place holder and then try to adjust the width of those columns the whole layout of my page is getting messed up to the point that i have to use ctrl+x to go back to previous stage. The master page was very complicated but i finally got it to work and i don't understand why while i manipulate contentplaceholder the layout of the master page is being affected. (only when adjusting tables)I am new to Visual Studio and was wondering of any known standars in that matter.
