Wierd Problem in VS 2008 code hinting

[David]

I have a website that I have been working on over the last couple of  months.  It uses the Rad Grid and etc..   The other day I create a contact us form and notice the code hinting is not bring up the Rad controls. 

For example I have a radtextbox called txtFirstName, txtFirstName and a standard asp.net label called lblDisplay.  The lblDisplay appears in the code hit popup box, while txtFirstName does not appear in the code behind. 

I went ahead and type out the txtFirstName because I know it exists.  My test page runs fine in the browsers. 


I set up a total new site, and did not have this problem. 

Does this have something to do with the Web.config file?

Where do I start looking?

I am using RadControls Q3 2008, maybe I need to update?

Thanks,
David

Update to the Problem:

I found a post on IntelliSense in the forum that might fix my problem.  
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/vs2008-intellisense.aspx

I have mutilply computers in the office here.  One is my desktop for development, and the other is a 2008 Server with IIS 7 and SQL 2005 installed.    I have never install RadControls for ASP.Net Ajax on the Server 2008. 

My server 2008 does not have frontpage extensions install on it.  I am using the server as a share drive to develop on. 

Thanks,
David

I am surprize I did not see this problem months ago: I guess I never pay any attention to the intellisense before. 

Problem Solved:

Solution:
Installed iis7 frontpage extensions on my Windows Server 2008
Connected VS2008 via frontpage extension instead of a fileshare

Question:
Why does intellisense work for regular asp controls work when connecting via a fileshare on the network?

Hi David,

Could it be that your project is located on a shared drive? There were other customers complaining of this Visual Studio 2005 limitation. Can you move it to a local drive and try again if this is the case?

Erjan,

  The project was located on the Windows 2008 server shared drive.  Yes it does work on my local drive.  I am using VS2008 for development.   I did solve the problem by installing frontpage extensions onto the Windows 2008 server.
