Visual Studio :: Generation Of Designer File Failed: The 'src' Attribute Cannot Be An Empty String
Jan 13, 2010
Problem: designer.cs is not regenerated by visual studio 2008. This concerns both web forms and master pages.
The only error or warning I can find is: Generation of designer file failed: The 'src' attribute cannot be an empty string. Line 1, Column 0
But the strangest thing is, it shows the warning always in the last page, I had or have open.
I know I'm not the only with the regeneration problem, I tried several solutions:
Deleting the *.designer.cs file. Doesn't work for me, the above warning become's an error when I try to rebuild the solutions or when try to covert to web application.
Reinstalled sp1 didn't work either.
Refresh in de designer view, getting the above warning...
Can somebody tell me how to generate designer.cs files automatically. Basically we have some bulk aspx and ascx files that needed to have designer attached to them. With a simple C# program we can easily do that [Create blank designer file] but the problem is that how to generate the code being generated by vs.net automatically. Is there any dll or function available that help us parse aspx or ascx file and fills up the designer.cs file.
I fixed my last web project and I have to fix another one.I created a new page and it puts the name codefile attribute correctly.I paste in the html, but it doesn't create the designer file.All I see is the aspx and the .vb code file.
I work in VS 2008. Whenver I add a server control(Label) and set it properties in aspx.vb and build the solution, I get the error "Label1 not declared". While analyzing this issue I noticed that the event handler statements for the Label1 where not added in the designer.asp.vb file. These statement would actually be added automatically when I drag and drop a control to my webpage.
I would also like to inform the scenario after which this problem came to me. I was working in VS 2008 , VS 2005 and VS 2003 in the same machine.Could this have caused the issue ?
Now each and everytime when I add a control, I am adding the "With Events" code in the designer page to make my build succesfull which makes me to spend more efforts.
I am trying to use SSIS Designer with BI Development Studio. I downloaded MS Visual Studio 2010 Beta and do not find an option to get into either the SSIS Designer or BI Development studio.
I'm working on a Web Application in Visual Studio 2008. For some reason the CSS only works properly inside visual studio. I can see the CSS inside the design view of the page. When I view the page on localhost the CSS is not being applied. This is just a very simple sample that I am working with. Only 2 pages, a master page, and a default page.
I have a problem in which some nested controls on a page are not updated in the designer file. I have deleted the designer file, selected Convert to Web Application, but still the controls are missing.
I know there is a supposed fix at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevtools/archive/2010/03/05/hotfix-for-issue-with-auto-generated-designer-files-not-adding-controls.aspxI am running VS 2010 Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel.
We converted our web application project into website project..We had resources created in first project..after conversion the resources doenst seem to work..I get an error saying "Resources is not a member of My" ....So I have created a new resource file and tried to generate designer.vb file...I have tried using resgen but I get errors.. Is there any other way this can be done.
I was using VS2008 everything ws going well but one day because of some problem i have to reload the windows and VS2008 and since then i am unable to open the designer.It does not give me any error message but i am unable to use any of the feature after clicking design or view designer from solution explorer.I have tried reinstalling the VS2008 but it does not solve my problem.
when I try to open the view designer in my windows application project I get an error msg - there is no editor available for 'C:documents and setting....Form1.vb' Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed.
I have created one new project in vb. When i create the control in aspx page , the designer .aspx.vb not updating properly? I should write the corresponding control in .aspx.vb file.
i am using VS 2005 with Sql Server 2005 Business Inteligance Studio. All my reports are by default open in Xml editor, not in Report Desginer. how to change it to Report Desginer , i don't find any open with option .
im developing an asp.net website application but suddenly all changes i make to the page in the visual studio designer are not being saved for some reason. Every thing i do in the code behind file is saved with out any problem, also if i edit the .aspx file but in sourceview, the changes are saved, but if i drag a control from the toolbox onto the page designer and set some properties and then save, nothing will have been saved when i close and re-open the page, all changes are lost.

Its confusing and i have no idea why.Edit: also this happens on only one aspx file. All the other files edits are saved.[URL]
In a custom component, there is a popup window that should appear to me so that I can manipulate one of the lists (an in-built editor). The component is Telerik, but I don't think that has anything to do with it (maybe).
The popup window is no longer popping up to me. I wonder if it got minimized or it's a z-index thing, where the window is behind VS? But this locks up VS, and I can't do anything within it until I cancel the window. But I can't cancel the window because I can't see it... and so that is really slowing me down and is really frustrating.
Is there a way to get around this? A key press to bring this to the front or give it the focus?
"The type or namespace name 'updatepanel' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"
The actual namespace should be System.Web.UI.UpdatePanel. When I go directly into the designer.cs file and change it, it works. However, every time I go back into editing control.ascx and save, Visual Studio always changes it back to system.Web.UI.WebControls.Webparts.updatepanel. I'm not sure what is causing this. Is it how I should be referencing namespaces and classes in my project? I'm using .NET 3.5.
I highlight an image in a HTML document and try to set its properties in the design by right clicking and looking up properties, I see only HTML or Document (no image). In the source view there is no link to image files folder. I guess this will be improved in the final version.
