Hi everybody,

I am a bit novice on this forum, so be patient please :)

Not sure whether this is settings related in VS2005, but in Design View (Web Application) the scroll bar doesn't show up which is very annoying for me.In WebSite design view the scroll bar is present,so I am wondering what can cause this problem.Every answer will be appreciqated.

PS:As I heard this was a bug in older version of VS(?2003?), but I am using VS2005.

Thanks

Hi Friend,

 Actually I have little bit confusion in your Question
that, Do you want scrollbar to complete DesignView or do you
want to show the scrollBar using DIV Tag

 Hi Amol,

I  want tha scrollbar to be present when I switch to design view in VS2005.This is present in Website projects, but missing in WebApplication projects when switching to design view.So if I have a resolution on my screen, where the design view is not fully visible I want to use the scrollbar, as it would be normal.

 Regards

Hi Ben,

From your description, I understand that the build-in scroll bar disappears when you open an aspx file in Design View, so that you cannot drag the scroll bar to view all the elements in the page. In addition, this issue only occurs for Web Application project. If there has been any misunderstanding, please let me know.

In my opinion, this should be a Visual Studio IDE issue. Please try to run “devenv /resetsettings” or “devenv /setup” in Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt. This method will initialize the IDE. If those commands cannot fix this issue, please try to repair Visual Studio from: Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Visual Studio 2005 | Change/Remove | Repair

 Hi Benson,

 You spot it rightly, I am having this particular problem only in a Web Application's Design View. I tried your suggestion, namely the devenv /resetsettings and it seems to work in a simple Web Application, but the one I work on is still without the scrollbar. Maybe the source code is too complex, but at least I got it work for main simple Web Appl.

This is a very annoying problem, which can cause headache after time,especially if you work on a more complex application.

Thank you very much for your help, I did really appreciate.

Cheers

Hi!

I am having the same problem. Could you finally solve it?

I have the vertical scroll bar when I am in Source mode but not in Design mode (in some projects)

And it also makes me get very nervous because I must switch betwen both modes all the time.

Thanks for any help you could provide me with.

By the way, I use VS 2005 with Framework 3.0.

Sincerely,

Xavier 

 Hi Xavier,

I am using VS 2005 Framework 2.

 As you can read the comments, the devenv /resetsettings or the other could help, in my case was the first devenv /resetsettings.
Just one thing to mention about this issue:it also depends what project you work on as I have seen some projects, where a particular CSS style setting disabled the scroll bar, so also a good idea to look around these settings.

Good luck

Ben
 

Great!! Fantastic!! Marvelous!!!

It works!!. Thanks a lot!!!!

hey man ,

you really reset all of your settings becouse of a simple scrollbar and tell all people its a bug ?

heh , are you kidding ?

you can use a short cut to controlling this scroll bar , just a simple short cut

( CTRL + E ) + ( CTRL + W )

Once its enable scrollbar and once disable it

please mark this post as correct answer becouse of future visitors ,

Thank you ,
