View 1 RepliesI have just downloaded Visual Web Developer Express 2008 and I am having problems getting basic features of the IDE to work.
In design mode for an aspx file:
1. The Split and Source tabs are not working.
2. I can not drag and drop controls from the Toolbox to the design surface.
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?
View 1 RepliesThis 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 use ResolveClientUrl to include css files in my page. When launched through web-server everything is OK, but in design mode css styles are not applied to the page. I use VS 2010 beta 2.
<link href= "<%= ResolveClientUrl("~/Styles/Site.css") %>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Same thing happens when I use any expression to specify an url for css How can I fix it? Or is it a bug of beta?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 in my machine. Both c# and vb.net are working properly, but my problem is asp.net is not working. If we are taking a new website project there is no design mode in default.aspx means at the bottom there is no design, source, split. If we go to View->Design then one error message is popup that there is no editor available for this Default.aspx. Again in Tools->Options->Html Designer will shows that an error occurred loading this property page. My OS is Windows Xp Professional 2002, IIS is also checked on .I don't know what to do.....
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to know what parameters are needed by an event in Visual Studio 2010?Let's say I have a DropDownList control and I want to bind a method to the "OnSelectedIndexChanged", I would do something like thisn the ASPX File:
<asp:DropDownList ID="lstMyList" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="lstMyList_SelectedIndexChanged"></asp:DropDownList>
protected void lstMyList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
...
}
The method GetDesignTimeHtml of the ControlDesigner class should return html markup that will be shown on the page in design time. My problem is that control looks different in different versions of the visual studio. What is the rendering engine visual studio use to render control in design mode?
View 2 Repliessuppose 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.
After I imported a VS 2008 web project to VS 2010, I can't view aspx pages that have master pages in design mode. The page design mode displays "error creating control - contentplacehoder1 object reference not set to an instance of an object." The project builds and runs fine though. I have only one master page that all other aspx pages reference and I don't have any nested master pages.
View 2 RepliesA few basic yes/no questions to see if I am expecting the impossible within VWDE:
At one point I thought I was given an option to create an external css file & have all styles automatically stored in the external file. Is there such a setting? ( Right now I have an external css file created & linked to the page, but as I work on the web page in Design view all new styles are created in the web page & I need to use the style manager to move them to the external file. )Can I tell VWDE to generate css for all formatting as I create a new table in the web page in design view? In other words, can I work strictly in web page design view yet have all formatting code - including the table layout - generated into the external css file?If I create style code for a web page table, does that style code need to be manually modified each time I add or remove rows from the table?Is there a VWDE funtion/tool to generate an external css file for an existing web page that contains embedded/inline styles? Right now I find that I need to individually move each style to an external sheet - i.e. Q1.If I were able in some way to create an external css file to handle all formatting for a given web page, would I have to manually create & maintain a second external css file to provide a printer-friendly format?Basically I have found so far that WYSIWYG editting in VWDE is ok up to a point, but support for CSS in Design view is very limited. It seems that if I want to employ CSS, I have to edit & separately manage CSS code rather than work in a WYSIWYG mode.
TI am hoping that even simple yes/no answers to the above will help me determine if VWDE is an exercise in frustration or worthwhile for me.
I have looked at all the posts I can find on this problem and tried everything I can think of, but still the problem persists. I am getting really sick of it.was working fine for the last year until an update to MS Office 2007 caused a lot of problems (automatic update). After checking posts here, I removed it completely. No change. I then tried all the things I could find on other posts, also no change. Today, I removed VS and the Web Authoring Component and re-installed. Still no go.
Does anyone have a fix for this problem. It seems that it has been around a long time, but is still giving problems. I even saw one suggestion to reformat the drive! You've got to be joking!
When I make a simple change to a style property in a CSS class the change only effects the webform in design mode. It has no effect on the web form when viewed in a browser. Why?
I tried the Hotfix above "Design view does not update HTML" to no avail. Is there a 64 bit version of this hotfix?
I have a simple HttpHandler that generates a dynamic image based on query string parameters and a custom web control that renders an image tag pointing to the handler as its 'src' attribute. All works fine when run in the web server, but at design timethe control displays as the "missing image" icon (red x in a box). The handler is registered in the web.config with a ".ashx" extension. The RenderContents method in the control looks like this:
output.AddAttribute("src", ResolveUrl(string.Format("~/Sparklines.SparkHandler.ashx?stype=pm&w={0}&h={1}&sv={2}&ev={3}&cv={4}&sc={5}&ec={6}&mc={7}&gs={8}",

After opening an existing proyect in visual studio 2010, the web form in design view doens't work. All server control puts a gray box with the following message : Error Creating Control - imgTransportistaSession state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration><system.web><httpModules> section in the application configuration.

What is the problem,how can i fix it? I tried everything in other posts.
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 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-

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.
