Visual Studio SP1 Beta Survey

Question

Hello Visual Studio users!  As you probably know, we’ve recently released the Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Beta.  To help us ensure that this release ships with the highest quality, we would like to ask you to please fill out a short survey about your experiences with the Beta.  If you’ve used the Beta and would like to participate, you can find the survey here.  Thank you in advance for helping us make this release great!

Answer 1

The front page of the survey says:

 

"ensure that you complete this survey by Friday, June 13, 2008"

Shouldn't that be July, or is it really too late?

Answer 2

I have user controls disappearing from VS 2008 Windows Form designer

HTML markup remains in .ascx file, and identical to HTML markup appearing in aspx file elsewhere in the project.

 

Steps are

Add Scriptmanager and update panel controls

Drag panel and labels into update panel

Attach style sheet via View/Manage Styles

Assign style sheet to control propertys

<change is reflected in designer view>

 

All seems fine,

however, after editing Source (adding line breaks, editing control ID etc.

 

the IDE appears to arbitrarily "lose track" of markup and all controls disappear from design screen - never to be seen again.

 

As simple as it can be...

 

 

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="dcPanelControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebUserControl" %>

<link href="StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

</asp:ScriptManager>

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">

<ContentTemplate>

<br />

<asp:Panel ID="pnlMain" runat="server" CssClass="PanelBox">

<asp:Label ID="lblHeader" runat="server" CssClass="LabelHeading" Text="Label"></asp:Label>

<asp:Label ID="lblContent" runat="server" CssClass="LabelContent" Text="Label"></asp:Label>

</asp:Panel>

<br />

<br />

<br />

<asp:Button ID="btnAction" runat="server" Text="Button" />

</ContentTemplate>

</asp:UpdatePanel>

 

Thanks!
