maybe it's a dumb question, how can i see the designer generated codebehind files (named .designer.aspx.cs) in VS2010?
i need it to wireup form events when i disable autowireup option at @form.
I have some webforms in an Asp.Net V2.0 generated using Visual Studio 2005 using Web site technology
Want to import them in to Visual Studio 2008 set to v3.5 (Asp.Net MVC) - where I use Project technology
I'm using Add > Existing Item - Which brings in Whatever.aspx & Whatever.aspx.cs There is no Whatever.aspx.designer.cs to import
How do you force it to be generated ?
My current Web Site does not have any designer.cs files. (Yes it is not a Web Application)The site is complete but now I added 2 Clases to my site and all good but when I want to make use of my GridView it tells me this:This is because I wrapped my code with the same namespace as in my classes like so....
namespace samrasWebPortalSQL
{
public partial class GridView : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Functions.RemoveCaching(this);

How do you delete more than one entity at the same time in the designer Entities list. it seems that the designer interface only allows the selection of 1 entity at a time....
View 1 RepliesI would like to create an ASP.Net page without all the codebehind and designer stuff. Basically I want to go back to ASP classic, but keep the CLR and Base Class Library that makes .Net oh-so-wonderful. I'd like just a page something like this:
<html>
<body>
<div>
<%
int customerID = Request.QueryString["CustomerID"];
//Customer and DataAccess classes come from an extenal assembly
Customer customer = DataAccess.GetCustomer(customerID);
%>
You asked for Customer with ID: <%=customerID;%><br />
Name: <%=customer.Name;%><br />
Phone: <%=customer.Phone;%><br />
</div>
</body>
</html>
However there seem to be some problems with that. The Request object is only available from within a Page object. I wish to completely delete the codebehind and designer pages. No intellisense Anything else I should be aware of before I get too deep into this? No idea how to start pulling in extenal libraries
When I format an accordion control using a skin file (as opposed to entering the formatting as attributes on each <asp:Accordion> tag), the control renders as expected when the website is run. However, in the VS2010 designer, the control won't display but instead shows the generic "Error Rendering Control" box which hasthe exception, "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute."
View 1 RepliesI 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 have an Asp.Net Web Application and there are all these designer files. The large app I work on at work doesn't have any designer files and it works fine. How can I get rid of these designer files and have them be auto-generated during the build?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to deploy a simple ASP.NET 4.0 Web Application on IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003.
I've copied all of the files over, including the bin folder and files Play.aspx, Play.aspx.cs and Play.aspx.designer.cs.
I get the following error when I try to access Play.aspx in the browser:
Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'divOutput' does not exist in the current context and then it quotes a line from my Play.aspx.cs file.
Now, divOutput does exist in the Play.aspx.designer.cs file. Why is the ASP.NET compiler on the server not picking this up? (And anyway, I've copied the bin folder, so why is it even trying to compile anything in the first place?)
Should bar on the HTML designer show the tag name? It sometimes does!
Here's an image of what I referring to.
I thought for sure it must be a bug but considering that I heard that MS was rewriting the editor (designer too?) I am starting to question whether I know how to use it!
Note the "TD" tooltip on the bottom right. Shouldn't this "TD" appear on the bar on the far right where the mouse would be?

I have some aspx.designer.cs and .cs files that have disappeared due to some pc problems. This is for a tutorial I'm doing online. I've been able to download new aspx and aspx.cs files for this part. When I paste them into the directory and include them in the project I still don't have a aspx.designer.cs file. Is there a way to get this to be created while pasting the other files into the directory?

View 1 RepliesWithing Microsoft's Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, I am trying to link an MS Access 2000 database to a web form using the Toolbox tool provided with the program. In the second dialog box where you specify the database to use, it shows that the Data_App folder is empty, yet in the windows explorer window the file is clearly there.
Is this a limitation of the evaluation version, too old of Access database file, or something stupid that I am doing? I gotta admit, I am a newby to .NET and ASP.NET, but I can create other aspx web forms with no problems.
I can connect to the MS Web Server, for instance.
I'd use MySQL, but it doesn't want to work on my computer.
That is the other post I made to Bytes.

View 1 RepliesWe're migrating from the web site to the web application model. Is there a way to allow the designer to use ftp to upload a single aspx page (foo.aspx and foo.aspx.cs) without requiring the use of the VS2008 Publish feature? We're a small shop and haven't bothered using source control as it wasn't much of an issue with the web site model. If the designer uses the Publish feature my binaries will be overwritten. I know that static pages are compiled at run time so I thought this would be possible but my tests result in errors. I've clicked around for some guidance but come up empty handed.

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.

View 2 RepliesI've a problem with my Visual Studio.On the 13th of August 2010 i installed a Windows update on my vista sp2 pc. For this date my Visual Studio 2008 sp 1 always has closed itself by opening an aspx-page in designer view. There is no error message just closing the window. I restored a backup of my windows from the time before updating it and it helped, i could open aspx pages in the design view till the update has been installed again automatically after rebooting the pc. I can't disable windows updates, cause it's my pc at work and safety is very important.
View 8 RepliesI have inherited an ASP.NET/C# project written way back in .NET 1.0. I started programming in .NET 2.0, so some of the antiquated concepts are foreign. I noticed that 80% of the pages have the following snippet or something similar:
#region Component Designer generated code
//Required by the Web Services Designer
private IContainer components = null;
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InitializeComponent()
{
connSQL = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection();
connSQL.ConnectionString = Inventory.Properties.Settings.Default.connectionString;
}
/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>
protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
if(disposing && components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
#endregion
Although this area is hit in the page load process, commenting it out has no obvious effects on the web page. I can guess that if the connSQL object is used and not initialized elsewhere, then problems can come up, this just hasn't been the case. So, my question is where does this designer generated code come from? I've never seen in it the code behind. Is this another .net 1.0 thing?
You've probably noticed that when you debug an error which comes from an ASPX or ASCX file (literally, not from a corresponding code-behind file), ASP.NET displays an error page showing you the source file and the line on which the error occurs. The source file being displayed is automatically generated from parsing the page/control. The question is: how can I see this source file without purposely causing an exception?
I'd love to hear that there is some programmatic way (the complexity doesn't matter) to generate source files (preferrably, .cs) from a series of ASPX/ASCX files.
Example. Consider the following ASPX page (the code-behind file may even be absent):
<%@ Page Language="C#"%>
<%@ Register Assembly="AspxGen" Namespace="AspxGen" TagPrefix="ag" %>
<html>
<head><title>Some Title</title></head>
<body>
[Code]....
d:DevAspxGenAspxGenDefault.aspx(9,80): error CS0103: The name 'ThereIsNoSuchProperty' does not exist in the current context
This means, theoretically I can open the .CS files passed to the compiler (namely, App_Web_sqj3krv3.0.cs and App_Web_sqj3krv3.1.cs) and see what ASP.NET has generated from my ASPX markup. Trying to rephrase the previous question: how can I obtain this file from an arbitrary ASPX file (assuming that the file is correct and hence no info will be given on where to search)?
I have a WebControl that I'm creating and when I'm in the designer...you really can't tell what it is...see Attachment 1 below. See Attachment 2 for what it looks like rendered in the Browser (IE & Firefox). What would cause this. I really can't even throw controls onto the UC looking like this. I have to go into the markup and do the drag and dropping.
View 2 RepliesI cannot figure out how to get my simple container control to properly display in the designer. Here is the basic markup of the custom control:
<div>
<div>Title</div>
<div>
<!-- ASP.Net child controls -->
</div>
</div>
Here is how it looks at runtime (title and then the child control is a GridView):
Here is the simple code for the basic container control:
namespace Shoe.Controls
//[Designer(typeof(ApplicationWindowDesigner))]
//[ParseChildren(false)]
//[PersistChildren(true)]
[ToolboxData("<{0}:ApplicationWindow runat="server"></{0}:ApplicationWindow>")]
public class ApplicationWindow : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel
{
#region Designer Properties
[Category("Appearance")]
[DefaultValue("Application")]
[Description("Title that will appear at the top of the Window.")]
[Browsable(true)]
public string Title
get{return (ViewState["ApplicationWindowTitle"] == null)?
string.Empty :
(string)ViewState["ApplicationWindowTitle"];}
set{ViewState["ApplicationWindowTitle"] = value;}
[code...]
As you see the code above, it is currently based off of the Panel control. However, I have also tried just using WebControl as the base class and then providing my own designer as follows:
namespace Shoe.Controls
public class ApplicationWindowDesigner : ContainerControlDesigner
//public class ApplicationWindowDesigner : ControlDesigner
public override void Initialize(IComponent component)
base.Initialize(component);
SetViewFlags(ViewFlags.DesignTimeHtmlRequiresLoadComplete, true);
[code...]
This is also what it looks like when I use WebControl as the base class for the control and use a designer based off of ContainerControlDesigner (child controld, but my title bar and divs are missing).What am I missing? I've found several examples of ContainerControlDesigner but none of them really add anything to the surrounding control like I am.
