Visual Studio :: The IDE Freezes When Click On Design Or Split Buttons?
Feb 13, 2010
I recently downloaded Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.
When I try to click on the Design button or the Split button, the whole IDE freezes.
I tried to reinstall several times, without success.
According to some another post I read, this problem is related to the Web Authoring tool. I followed the indications given and tried to repair the Web Authoring tool with no success.
I tried to reinstall the whole thing with the McAfee Anti Virus disabled. No change.
i have visual studio 2008 and ms office 2007..when i try to develop a web application in vs 2008, i didnt able to open the design view of the web page.. i can only able to see the source view..came to know by googling as, there is some compatibility issues between vs 2008 and ms office 2007 in web authoring components.
i'm quite a newb in asp.net , so here we go:i used the dreamspark project in order to get VS 2008 pro (free and legal) , and then i started experiencing with asp.net .the problem is that whenever i choose the split mode, it doesn't go there at all, and whenever i choose the 'design' mode, the tab itself is frozen yet it's possible to close it. it doesn't matter what the file (with the aspx extention) has in it (even a new blank website) , it always happen.i've tried to re-install VS2008 (after uninstallation&restart) and i also tried to uninstall anything related to dot net (and then install what is needed again through the installer of VS2008) . i even tried out the express version but it didn't work for me.
In the Source view has code. as I was coding and refreshed the split view (.ascx) it when blank. The so I when to the design view its blank too. The aspx page I can see the control.
Using the vertical split view, it appears as though it defautls to displaying the source on the left, and the design view on the right. How can I switch tme around?
vs2008 "There are no usable controls in this group. Drag an item onto this text to add it to the toolbox"
the problem is that in my website web forms items can not display all toolbox elements:Standard,data,html and so on.
first, i have tried click right on the toolbox region to choose "reset items" and "reset the toolbox " command , then in the dialog i check the useful controls, surprisingly whole controls is selected in the default way. but nothing change.
suppose i've created my own user control, and it has a textbox and a property for the textbox so that if i use the user control from within the aspx file, i can give the property a value. for example:
[Code]....
is it possible to also set the property to be seen via the desing mode , just as it works for other (built in) controls? maybe a different method to implement the same scenario?
if you still didn't understand what i mean : after setting the value of DefaultNum1 via the code i've written here, i expect the textbox associated with this property to be updated as well to '1' via the design mode (and split mode). of course it won't work using the current method, since VS cannot guess what is going on with the property and understand that all of its purpose is to assign an initialization value for the textbox.
Split view and design view doesn't work.I installed and uninstalled Office 2003 and 2007 once but there's no office in my computer now.-I have Microsoft Studio Web Authoring Component installed.(12.0.4518.1066)(Uninstalled and installed it twice)-My computer-properties-Advenced system settings-environment variables-system variables-path is;
[code]... What is the problem,how can i fix it? I tried everything in other posts.
I'm making a web site in ASP.NET. Until now i was always debugging with Firefox. After i implemented an UpdatePanel i wanted to test it also on internet explorer. If i choose IE as standard browser then is the debugging of visual studio very very very slow and it crashes also (on second time debugging).
I also have seen that every time i do ctrl-F5, then a new ASP.NET Development Server starts with a different port, in Firefox there is always 1 ASP.NET Development Server...
Visual Studio (SP1) runs fine until I try and view .aspx source files with the lines
<style type="text/css"> </stlye>
anywhere in them, upon which it freezes (i.e is totally unresponsive) and I have to use the task manager to shut it down.
I have read a lot of questions about Visual Studio 2008 crashing on viewing some source files. However, I still can't fix this problem.
I have systematically deleted and re-included all other code and it comes down to these two lines, which is very confusing. Sometimes it happens as soon as the lines are added, sometimes it doesn't freeze until I build the solution with any of the problem pages open. I can add external style sheets, and it only started recently.
I had Resharper 4.5 installed and have since uninstalled it, and do not have anything else installed.
Also, it happens to other people with the same source code, and re-installing Visual Studio does not fix the problem. So I have several questions:
Is there any way I can find out what's happening? I don't understand how the code (the css tag itself) could crash Visual Studio, and am thinking that this is unlikely and it must be something else within my solution, would this be a safe assumption? Could this have anything to do with installing Office 2010?
can't connect to sql 2005 express sp1 and vs is also sp1. 2) Which my guess is because of the database connection not being able... design view is not able to pull in the application for design, it's as if there is no theme and css just white background and black print.
I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.
Ive been using visual studio to make a site and i was planning on using the wizard to create a contact us however the buttons dont seem to be working. They seem to take the data in then display the same page again. Does anyone know any reason for this?
I want to see the design view while I am designing a site in ASP.NET using visual studio 2010 Ultimate, but I wondered there is no such option as design as there were in VS 2005 or VS 2008.
[URL] normally in the attached red portion below supposed to contain a option to switch to design view. But there is nothing ..
how to do this.or is there any template that one can use for the following-
using visual studio to design questions and answers with outcome of the grade immediately after submition and with timing.
For example, having questions 1 to 10, providing options like A, B, C,D, then let students choose from the right answer from the questions, then, after submition, an outcome of grade is displayed based on the right answer.
My VS 2008 Design button is broken, i.e. I click on it an nothing happens. I've rebooted, restarted, reinstalled VS, installed VS 2008 sp1 - nothing fixes this! Getting ready to try dynamite.
Then when I close VS it crashes, i.e. i get the message "visual studio is not responding and needs to restart".
Visual Studio ( VSTS 2008 ) design mode work good for long time and from about 2 weeks ago it's suddenly stop view any thing in design mode i tried a lot with trying in another projects even in a simple web page but no way it's doesn't view any thing in design mode ... I think to reinstall VS 2008 again but I don't know if is there any outher solution for that ?
As far I know this is not supported for asp.net projects. It's quite handy for testing static/shared functions.any info if this will be available in future versions? Or if there are any alternative ways to test your functions in design mode?
This error only happens when I launch an existing application, if I create a new app the error does not appear on that site. However if I try to enter Design mode the Windows Installer opens and hangs. I can still edit the code and even launch the app.
If I click "OK", I get a dialog box that starts a Windows Installer that does not install anything, it justs sits there. If I "cancel" the installer, VWDE dies.
The only thing different on my laptop is that I had Office 2007 Trial installed along side Office 2003 before I installed VWD, I then uninstalled the trial and used the clean-up tool at [URL] to clean up the trial.
I have tried to repair VWDE, I have uninstalled and reinstalled VWDE with no change. Ialso have VB Express running and get no errors when launching it.
I want to know whether we have any new features or Framework related to UI design (like webparts) or any othere items which is introduced with the VS2010 for new way of desiging the Aspx page.
When I'm in Design View I can't scroll down to the bottom of some of my pages. I've scrolled down as far as I can and the bottom is cut off. This doesn't happen on all the pages. I tried increasing the height for the ContentPlaceHolder.
