.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / February 2007Unable to enter "Design" mode when editing a website
I've been using VS2005 Team Edition for some time now with the odd issue, however now I seem unable to open design view when I'm editing a website I open the website and open a page ("update.aspx"), it defaults to source view, when I then click "Design" nothing happens? What is going on, the fault is constant across all my websites Regards MC I've now tried updating my pages manually, however only the letter keys seem to work on the keyboard, the Delete, Backspace and Enter keys all have no effect???? Curiosuly I started up VS2005 from a different account using "run-as" and all worked fine, however I need to develop in the main account as that is the one with access to the network resources. > I've been using VS2005 Team Edition for some time now with the odd > issue, however now I seem unable to open design view when I'm editing a [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > MC Thanks for your reply MC, As you said the problem occurs among a certain web site project, would you try creating a simplified website project whicn includes one or two pages that are necessary to reproduce the issue on your side? Thus, you can send the test project to me so that I can perform some local test. You can reach me through the email in my signature by remove "online".

If you can narrow down the issue to be page/project unrelated, I would suggest you consider perform a repair install on that box. Generally, such issue is quite hard to troubleshoot since it is usually enviroment coupled. Anyway, if you really need further troubleshooting on this, some runtime debugging or monitoring will be necessary(e.g. use filemon or regmon to detect registry or file system access). You can contact CSS if you need further assistance on this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/support/default.aspx Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Hello MC, From your description, you're encountering a problem with the VS 2005 webform designer. The designer view can not display when you try switch the aspx page from source view to design view, correct? As for this issue, it is likely due to IDE settings get corrupted or caused by the the page it try displaying(in the design view). Would you help me confirm the followig things first: ** Whether you get the problem in a particular project or page , or does it occur for all web project on the machine? ** Did you start getting the problem ever since you installed the VS 2005 IDE or just raise recently? Based on my experience, there are some page specific issue that can cause design view fail to display. For example, the page contains many invalid malformed html code, and since design view will always perform validation on it, the may prevent the design-view from displaying. You can check on this fory our case. As for environment specific problem, you can try the following steps : ** try logon through a different account to see whether the issue is specific to the current user's profile. **Detect and repair of Visual Studio **Recreating users profile Hope this helps some.

My Short term solution has been to use the windows Run-as functionality to run as a different user. I get the problem using my old account which has worked fine for the last 6-9 months, ever since i had the last problem with the IDE hanging whilst initializing the toolbox. At the moment I can use the keyboard to navigate a ".aspx" page until I try and view "Design" mode, once i have done that i loose the ability to navigate around the document with the arrow keys or delete anything. Bizarley I'm still able to insert text into the document, however cannot fix typos! I have not installed or done anything to affect the configuration personally, however our IT department have a habit of rolling out updates which may or may not break stuff. I would rather not recreate the user profile as there is lots of configurations which I would not be able to set that quickly. Since the "Run-as" solution works I'm assuming that it must be something environmental? is there a way to just resent the config for VS2005? > Hello MC, > [quoted text clipped - 62 lines] > > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Thanks for your followup MC, Sure, as you mentioned that when you run as a different user, the IDE doesn't suffer the problem ,I think it is mostly something got corrupted in the user profile. You know, VS IDE(2003 or 2005) will save many per user settings such as local cache for some web projects in each user's user profile folder. For use centric setting, so far what I can get is the setting under the "tools----> Import and export settings...." menu. You can export the current setting, import another setting or reset the setting. You can try reset the setting or import a good setting from some other machine. #Working with Settings http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/2ewd52wf(VS.80).aspx Hope this helps some.
