Hello Hans, 

Thank you for your post!  I would suggest posting your question in one of the

(MSDN > Forums Home > Office Development > Visual Studio Tools for Office > using Microsoft.Office.In...)
 
located here: 

(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/4d5e3fa8-29f3-4901-b2c8-283bfb2b56ce/).

Hope that helps.

Have a great day!

Just tried that, but within 5 minutes was moved to off-topic.
Seems hard to find an Addin development group for a non-developer tool like Expression Web.

 Hi,

I really appologize that your post has been sent to the off topic posts, how ever in order to redirect you to the specific forum could you please elaborate the situation you are facing along with all the details of the technologies you are using and the technology you are having the problem with.

Thanks & regards,

Answer 4

I am developing an Addin for Expression Web 2 using C# in VS2008.

The current problems I encounter are:
1) how can I stop a save in the OnBeforePageSave, as I tried setting Cancel = true but it still saves the page.
    So the OnBeforePageSave is called because I hit a breakpoint, but even though I set Cancel = true, the page gets saved.
    Question: How to prohibit a page save in an EW2 Addin using C# and VS.
2) how can I use external strings (like standard resx files in the App_GlobalResources in an ASP.Net site) and still use EW2 as designer. 
    Currently I can define binding of the Text property of for instance an asp:Label using ClassKey and ResourceKey in EW2,
    but the designer shows this expression and not the string result. This unfortunately ruins the WYSIWYG experience when designing.
    Question: is there a way around this to regain a true WYSIWYG experience using EW2?

Regards,

Hans

Hi Hans,

Try to create a new thread in the forum

Microsoft Expression > Forums Home > Expression Studio > Expression Web

located at http://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/web/threads/

Hope that helps.

Thanks & regards,

Ok, I tried asking the externalizing strings question in that forum, but never got a reply.
I will try with the page save question and see if that will get answered.
It looks like a forum for EW2 users and not addin developers, but I will give it a shot.

Thx,

Hans
