intellisense on aspx pages stopped working after introducing nested master page - VS 2010

Question

Hello,

Intellisense stopped for aspx pages working after i started using nested master pages. And when i say stopped working i mean it only shows html controls.. none of the asp.net controls or 3rd party controls.

This affects pages with nested master page.

TIA

 

EDIT:

Also the format command does not work on aspx page.

Answer 1

Hi PS81,

Thanks for your post.

I testes the nested master page as you mention but cannot reproduce your issue.

All controls are just normal on my page.

Could you please provide a scenario for reproduce?

Also, you can try devenv /resetuserdata in VS command prompt.

Lookling forward to your reply.

 

 

Best Regards,

Ziwei Chen

Thanks for the reply.

 

I tried the command you specified and got the following error "Unknown Error."

 

I probably have the same problem as these other guys.

Hi Paresh,

Thanks for your post.

I think it is a known issue on the connect site

Our engineer of product team is working on it.

You can try the workaround mention in the link

try clearing the ReflectedSchemas folder:
%appdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ReflectedSchemas\

Hope my reply helps resolve your issue.

Thanks for reply Victor..

 

I tried out clearing the folder and it   not help.

I dont have a problem with master pages. Intellisense works fine with master pages. It's only when i use nested master pages, i lose Intellisense..

Answer 5

This problem still exists in Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

In my case when I have a nested master page, and add my user control inside the content area of content page intellisense stops working there.

If I add the same code to the top level master page intellisense works at both comments.

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="Content" runat="server">
	<%-- intellisense works here no matter what --%> 
	<mylibprefix:Navigator runat="server" ID="Navigator" Text="Error log">
		<%-- intellisense doesn't work here if this control is in a nested master page --%>
	</mylibprefix:Navigator>
