ASP.NET FISH: HTML Designer Problems

This IDE is driving me nuts. I needed another button so I copied an
existing one, changed the Text and the id and position by drag and drop.
Well then I run and get the following:

Control 'Button19' of type 'Button' must be placed inside a form tag with
runat=server

Can the IDE not do what it is supposed to do. It seems that it is a fight
to make it do anything or did I do something wrong? It would seem silly to
have to create a new button every time when there are buttons with
attributes that can be copied??

Help PleaseLloyd,

This usually happens when you take an HTML page and rename it to .aspx.
When you create a Webform in VS.NET, it adds a <form> tag with a "runat"
attribute and a value of "server". If you don't have that, you'll get this
error.

The solution is to add a <form> tag to the page. The best place to add it
is directly under the opening <body> tag. You will then put the closing
</form> tag right before the closing </body> tag. For example:

<body>
<form name="form1" runat="server">
... page content here ...
</form>
</body

I can see that would be a problem but this is not what happened in my case.
I had an array (my term) of buttons corresponding to each first letter of
the alphabet. I was using the caption on the button as an index to get
information. Now the information for xyz is found in one source so I
combined 3 buttons into one and added through a copy a new button for
numeric items with caption 1-9.

When I copied the button it placed it at the top left corner. When I moved
(drag and drop) the button the problem was created. The IDE for HTML is
certainly not as rigorous in the design mode. I have had so many problems
it would take a book to enumerate them.

Another problem is in the following:
Create a control.
Give it an ID
Delete the control
Create a new one
Give it same name as deleted control
This generally give an invalid option dialog (I suppose for the id since
that is what I change in the properties dialog).

If I get out of IDE and get back in I can add the control with the old name
no problem. Perhaps MS has implemented the (if the car does not work get
out and then back in and try again) solution.

The reason this works (or doesn't work, in this case) is because of how the
IDE does code/design separation and how the IDE fires events internally.
Here is a simple workaround:

A. Add a button to a webform.
B. Give it an ID.
C. Position it.
D. Here's the kicker... switch to HTML View and then back to design view.
Look at your code-behind and you will see that the control has been created
in code.
E. Switch back to Design View and delete the button.
F. Add a new button and try to give it the same id as the one that was
deleted.
G. Oops! Got an error message? Ok,
G1. Switch again from Design View to HTML View after you have deleted
the button. Look in your code behind and you will see that
the button declaration has disappeared!
G2. Now, switch back to Design View and readd the button with the same
id as the one that was deleted and you should get no
error message. :)

The reason this happens is that the IDE fires an event when you drag a
control onto a web form and in that event, it first checks to see if there
is already a control declared with this id. If there is none, it declares
the control in the code behind. Now, when you delete a button from the
designer and that event misfires for whatever reason, the control
declaration does not get removed, and exactly as it says, you cannot have
two controls with the same id. When switching between design view and html
view, the IDE again fires another event and double checks that all the
controls have been declared. This is reported to be fixed in Whidbey.

HTH,
Bill P.

All I can say is WOW. I am sure there is a good reason for this but it
eludes for now. At least I have a workaround.

Bill,

It is true that the architecture is completely different in Whidbey.
However, I am unable to reproduce this behavior that you and Lloyd are
reporting. I have also searched our bug databases and see no information
on a bug that was fixed in Everett. Can you give me specific repro steps?

These are the steps to reproduce.

I can see that would be a problem but this is not what happened in my case.
I had an array (my term) of buttons corresponding to each first letter of
the alphabet. I was using the caption on the button as an index to get
information. Now the information for xyz is found in one source so I
combined 3 buttons into one and added through a copy a new button for
numeric items with caption 1-9.

When I copied the button it placed it at the top left corner. When I moved
(drag and drop) the button the problem was created. The IDE for HTML is
certainly not as rigorous in the design mode. I have had so many problems
it would take a book to enumerate them.

Another problem is in the following:
Create a control.
Give it an ID
Delete the control
Create a new one
Give it same name as deleted control
This generally give an invalid option dialog (I suppose for the id since
that is what I change in the properties dialog).

If I get out of IDE and get back in I can add the control with the old name
no problem. Perhaps MS has implemented the (if the car does not work get
out and then back in and try again) solution.
Lloyd,

This is the same post you made previously. I am unable to reproduce this
using these steps.

What version of Visual Studio .NET are you using?

I'm not sure what to tell you, Lloyd. I tried reproducing this on Visual
Studio .NET 2003, and it does not reproduce for me. If you can give me
steps to reliably reproduce this problem, I can look into it. Otherwise,
there's not much I can do.

Ok, I can reproduce this at will.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy button WButton , select it , CTL-C
2. Paste as new button , CTL-V
3. Run app, and voila

The original code and code after the IDE changed it follows after the error.
Sorry about the size but this is the only way to give you the details
needed.

The error produced when running the app is:
Control 'Button1' of type 'Button' must be placed inside a form tag with
runat=server.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the

Ps. After creating the new button I dragged it to an unused portion of the
form. Switching between Design and HTML view does not help.

Lloyd
Lloyd,

I tried reproducing this again this morning. No luck. It works fine for
me as it should. The first button is called Button1 and when you copy and
paste it, the new button is named Button2. Both of them are within the
<form> tag and the application runs fine.

Can you reproduce this on a new Webform created by VS.NET?

Strange... I get the same behavior when I do it, but it is inconsistent. It
doesn't happen if I use LinkButton, but I do get it if I create a button or
an custom control that inherits from button. If I drag a button on to a web
form, it is given a unique id. Now, if I delete an existing button and try
to give the new button the same id as the one I deleted, I get an error
message with that nifty little error box (what were the UI designers at MS
smoking when they came up with that error box? lol)...

I'm just waiting for Whidbey.. ;)

Jim,

I just added a logon screen to the app and had exactly the same problem.
This time all I did was add a textbox. I have noticed that for some reason
when I click the TextBox in the ToolBox and try to draw it on the form
surface there are some areas where the cursor changes so that I cannot
perform this operation.

If you want to see what happens check my email (there is spam hindering in
the address. Perhaps I can show you using NetMeeting.

PS. Once the form goes wrong it cannot be fixed. Every thing I add after
the problem is placed after the form. This causes the problem I am
describing. Just in case this might help the version is 7.1.3088.

Ok, I think I have the problem identified.

I have a heading for the page which somehow ended up preceeding the form (I
would think this is ok).
As soon as this element is present the IDE will not allow controls to be
dropped in the area at the top of the screen. The element that caused the
problem looks as follows:

<%@. Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="intro.aspx.vb"
Inherits="RemoteSongs.intro"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>intro</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1">
<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
</HEAD>
<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout" bgColor="peru">
<p style="FONT-SIZE: large" align="center">Page Heading to be fixed
later</p>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
</form>
</body>
</HTML
It is the <p that causes the problem. Remove this and no problem. This tag
was entered by copying the tag from other pages.

Hi Lloyd,

That makes sense. The <form> tag will be added after the opening <body>
tag.

It's possible that this wouldn't have happened using FlowLayout, but I
haven't tested it. In any case, it's always best to make sure that
everything in the page body is surrounded by the <form> tag.
