I have so far been a dedicated Wordpress user, but have been researching other CMS solutions of late, specifically, looking for something that could potentially allow me to EASILY convert an XHTML site into a CMS site for most projects. I don't care for PHP - and find adding the appropriate tags to Wordpress a bit of a challenge. I am b...
Every time I change some InArgument of my CodeActivity or an activity defined as an XOML, it takes a couple of restarts of Visual Studio and deleting all the traces of my project's dll on the hard drive (not sure which part actually works) until the changes are reflected in the workflow designer. Is there some way to clear the cache of ...
Is there an example of a browser-based and preferably open source visual javascript application designer (using contenteditable or canvas or whatever), perhaps with support for embedded controls and so forth (checkboxes, buttons, etc., or ui controls for various javascript frameworks like jquery.ui, dojo, yui,...), OR else support for ve...
I have a program written in VB that has DataDynamics ActiveReports as well as DevExpress reports in it. Yesterday when I started working it wouldn't let me use my DevExpress reports with the designer. I restarted Visual Studio and it worked fine. Today I am working on the same reports and Visual Studio won't let me use Designer for any o...

I know that I can set the SampleData.xaml to DesignData in the Build Action and VS does its magic and leaves it out of the DLL. I couldn...

We've recently upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010. The conversion of our vb.net Windows Forms app went well, but we're now having big problems with the forms designer. Pretty much any change to the layout of a form (sometimes just a solution rebuild) will work once, but on recompile, the IDE designer refuses to display the form, the error ...

I've finally tracked down an issue to bad code left in my ODX, presumably by Visual Studio I had a Construct Message with a Transform and Message Assignment in it ... Whenever I compiled, I was getting errors pointing at the assignment shape, and its usage of a distinguished promotion. I edited the Message Assignment ... removed the l...
I have a Panel I want to fill with some UserControl(s) at runtime. These controls are complex and may be interdependent, so I'd like them: to be editable with Visual Studio designer; to be in the same context (= defined in the same class); Both of the requirements are a must-have. Considering UserControl is itself an indexed collect...
As the title says, somehow the entity designer disappeared from my installation of Visual Studio 2010. When trying to open an .edmx file, it only opens it in the XML editor. When i choose "Open With...", the Entity designer doesn't show up in the list. It has worked before, and i don't know of anything i could have done to remove it from...
In a simple web application project, when adding new controls to an *.aspx file, Visual Studio generates a corresponding declaration of that same control in the *.designer.cs file. This works well (at least most of the time, as some might know) ;-) Now, we have a more complex setup where we've decided to move all code-behind files to a ...
I've just noticed that if I add an event using a generic eventhandler to my UserControl, the event is not visible in the designer when I add the user control to a form. public event EventHandler<TEventArgs<int>> EventNotVisibleInDesigner; public event EventHandler EventVisibleInDesigner; Not particularly worrisome, but is this by-desi...
Is there any way to force the WPF designer to reload or refresh, without rebuilding the entire project or solution? If there's an error, I get an option in the designer view to refresh the designer. But if I don't have an error, how can I get the designer to refresh after I've made a change? ...
I've got a control that crashes on the form designer when I build the application, and am trying to figure out how to debug the problem. I thought all I needed to do to be able to get in with a debugger was to start a second copy of VS and use Debug-Attach to process and attach to the copy of visual studio that the solution with my trou...
I have my own derived WPF DataVisualization chart control and within that control, I have a boolean property that the designer can set which in turn creates and adds a line series to that chart control. Now the problem is that I can easily create the line series object within the chart when the designer sets that property, but I also ne...
Hello, I built a report in Visual Studio 2008. There was a problem with it (an error occurred while trying to view the report) and since then, the report designer shows just HTML, <html><head><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><title></title><style>.ErrorStyle { font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11 pt; text...
I'm developing a networked WPF application with the MVVM pattern and it seems that it's running and connecting to servers in the designer. I know about the IsInDesignMode property, but I'm not sure how to access it in a ViewModel. ...
Hi, maybe you could help me understand why I get an unhandled exception "Invalid XAML" in Visual Studio 2010 designer when trying to do the following on a Page. I have a Converter named DateTimeConverter that converts a date into a German date string. The converter works fine. I've included the namespace and added the following to the ...
