Disappearing Web User Control in Design View

My boss experienced an weird problem with his installation of Visual Web Developer Express 2008.
When he tried to view a web user control page in the design mode the application only displayed a blank white page. If he clicked on the “Source” view, all the code was there that was expected. Combing through the […]

Here’s a New Feature Request in Visual Web Developer Express 2008

I made the “professional” switch over to ASP.NET development awhile back and began using Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) for all my business clients with the day job. I’ve still kept Dreamweaver 8 installed though because I have a few clients that still use it so it’s nice to be able to open and view […]

Expression vs. Visual Web Developer Express

I’ve been commenting a bit back and forth with John from Microsoft who’s asked me about my experiences with the VWDE beta. I’m in the middle, actually wrapping up, a project now so probably won’t try changing until this project gets into maintenance mode.
Another question has popped up in my mind though.
I’ve been seeing the […]

Visual Studio 2008 "Orcas" Closer to Completion

I downloaded and tried the newest version of Visual Web Developer Express “Orcas” Edition awhile back and found too many bugs for me to rely on it very much at all. I beta test to the extreme, no test environment, no safety ropes, just install it and see if it works until it breaks something. […]

Specifying Parameters for UPDATE Statements

Are you tired of my questions about Visual Web Developer Express and .NET development? I hope not as it seems to be a popular source of information and research on the Internet.
Here’s my question for today.
If I’m using separate stored procedures to SELECT, UPDATE and INSERT values into a database, why doesn’t the Visual […]

Setting Default Window Size and Settings for VWDE

Anyone else think the window layout above isn’t very helpful?
If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the default “Query Builder” window that pops-up in Visual Web Developer Express when you’re working on your custom SQL connections.
This isn’t helpful to me at all. I end up dragging the window to the top-left corner, then […]

25+ Hours Comes Down to a Few Different Clicks

Some of you may be aware that I’ve been on a little adventure to teach myself a completely new web programming language and learn a new tool at the same time.
I’ve just about ditched Dreamweaver completely and moved over to Visual Web Developer Express Edition. Along with learning a new software application, I’m also learning […]

Microsoft Popfly

You’ve heard of Yahoo Pipes right? A little online application that lets you build mash-ups of various components on websites and build your own little version of a widget.
Microsoft has now released their own version of the ability to develop your own mash-ups and they’ve called it Microsoft Popfly, now in alpha. It was originally […]

GridView Error - Visual Web Developer Express 2005

I’m getting the following error message when I try to insert a GridView control on my web project. I’m developing in Visual Web Developer Express 2005.
The error message states:
There was an error rendering the control.
Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: ‘ControlDesignerStateService’.
How do I fix that?
Also, prior to that error happening, I had received the […]

Visual Web Developer Express: Follow-up with Sites and Resources

Just a quick follow-up on my previous post. I’m an idiot, the reason I can’t edit those is because I was trying to use a View. You can’t edit a SQL View, which is why the options wouldn’t let me select what I wanted.
Now, I’ll just be figuring out a work-around for that since much […]
