Hi,

I made a mistake of upgrading to VS2008. Now I am getting all sorts of bugs and problems with the tool and it is making my life just miserable. I have a web user control that up to a couple of hours ago I was able to edit. Now nothing is showing up in design mode. But in source mode the stuff is there and the application worls fine. I have tried bith VS2008 and VS2008 Express and they both show the same problem!! page compiles fine. The only thing that I can think of is that it vs2008 kept asking me to override AjaxControlToolKit.DLL and I accepted. Does any body seen this before?

Thanks

Did you add <link> or <style> to the user control? Currently designer does not support elements that typicaly appear in a <head> section in a user control.

Thanks

I have the same problem...

I have a web page that uses a Master page. In the web page, I have 3 panels defined. I control the visibility of these panels from the code-behind. All of this works fine.

However, for some reason, I cannot see any of the panels in design-mode (I'm using Visual Studio 2008).

Does anyone know if there is a patch forthcoming to fix this issue?

Thanks

Are panels hidden via setting display:none? You can use View | Visual Aids menu to control visibility of hidden elements.

Thanks

Well, Somehow my <h4>'s were changed to <h4> and I guess that was causing the problem. I changed it back and everything returned!!!!!!!!!!! this is quite odd. VS2008 Express should not be released even as a Beta let alone a development tool :<

It is hapeening again and again. Basically "<h3>" gets converted to

<h3>

and then the design page does not show up. It is getting really annoying. Any ideas how to fix this problem? I am losing a lot of time fixing this stuff over and over again..........
