Can't drag & drop controls

[Jacques]

Having a problem dragging controls from the toolbox to either the design or source view. Dragging a control and dropping it on the page produces nothing but xml.

Here's a sample from pasting a textbox control:

<

soap-env:envelope soap-env:encodingstyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/

xmlns:clr="http://schemas.microsoft.com/soap/encoding/clr/1.0" xmlns:soap-enc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

 

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

 

<soap-env:body>

 How do I fix this?

Thanks

Jacques

Hello Jacques,

Please provide more info on how to reproduce this. This is the first report for such behavior.

Running the latest version of Visual Studio 2008 with sp1 beta and .Net 3.5.

Problem occurs on existing project and new project.

Click on a rad control in the toolbox and drag it onto either the design or source view and drop it. XML is inserted instead of the proper tags.


If the tags are manually typed into the source view everything works normally.

Hi Jacques,

Can you please check whether restarting your Visual Studio or removing them from the toolbox and adding them manually as explained here makes a difference? We are still not able to replicate the erratic behavior in our local tests and any further details about your development environment/operating system can help us determine the cause of the issue to address it.

Kind regards,

The trial version of the software was removed yesterday and the developers version installed.  The problems occurred after installing the developers version. The problems still occurred after shutting down Visual Studio and restarting. A reboot of the computer did not fix the problem.

Restarted Visual Studio this morning and loaded in the project. I am now able to drag and drop the controls. Could it be that the installation/initialization process had not completed even though the controls we're visible in VS?

Hi Jacques,

I cannot say for certain that incomplete initialization caused the issue you encountered since we have not experienced such oddity so far. I am glad that everything is operational now.
