.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / April 2008VS 2008 Cannot access nested asp controls in design view to enable property events icon
When working with a C# web page in VS 2008 and a control is nested within the Table server control (within a row and cell of course), I can find no way to access the control to have the Events icon available in the Properties window (for adding events to the control). Design view does not allow access to the nested control. If in Design view and you select the nested control in the Document Outline window, the Table server control (not the nested control) is displayed in the Properties window. If you are in Source view, the Events icon is not available in the Properties window. In many web projects, nearly all controls are nested in a table. And to use Themes, you need to use the table server control. Hello Rich, VS Designer cannot provide event tab for the control which is nested in asp:Table. Only when designer provides live instance of the control would it provide event binding functionality. For the control nested in asp:table, VS Designer doesn't create live nested control instance. This is the reason why you cannot events icon in Source view. For page designer view, due to the implement of asp:table control, we cannot select nested control. Thereby, we cannot bind event in designer view, either. I'm afraid to say this is by design. In your scenario, I'd like to suggest you may consider using HTMLTable control instead of ASP:Table control. VS Designer could works fine with HTML Table. You can bind event with control which is nested in HTML Table without issue. Another method is to bind event with each button out of ASP:Table control first. Then, drag it into asp:TableCell control. Hope this helps. We are indeed sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you really have concern on this very much. You can also post the issue to our Connect feedback portal.

Thanks for the response (although it is not the one I wanted, but the one I expected). By the way, I tried nesting the controls in an HTML table and the event icon did not appear then either. I want to use the asp:Table control throughout the site to use Themes. The events are availabe using intellisense in Source view. I then need to define the event name manually in the aspx page and manually create the aspx.cs code, which leads to fingering errors (bad spelling). In large web pages, it is very difficult to be dragging the control in and out of tables.

Mispost, sorry! Wen Yuan Hello Rich, Thanks for your reply and understanding. After we nested the controls in an HTML table, the event icon will come back if we switch into page design mode. As you see, in source view mode, VS intellisense could show event name. But we have to define the event name manually. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

It is clear. There is still an issue when the 'events' icon appears in the properties window (the control is not in an asp:Table as in my original question). If I click on a control in source view (before accessing the page in design view), the 'events' icon will not be present. I must access the web page in design view and then switch back to the source view before the 'events' icon will appear. This primarily happens when the web page is already open to source view when the project is opened. This is a minor issue but can catch a person off guard. Thanks - Rich F. > Hello Rich, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights. Hello Rich, Thanks for your reply. If we never been to design view, the designer is not loaded for performance reasons. Thereby, there is no live control instance in source view. Events cannot be bound unless control is instantiated on design surface. Thus, you find Event icon doesn't show up when you click on the control in source view (before accessing the page design view). After switching back to design view, you noticed the event icon comes back. Mikhai Arkhipov explained well this behavior on ASP.net Forum. You may refer to http://forums.asp.net/t/1142758.aspx [Event Binding From HTML Designer Source View] Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know, if you have any more concern.
