I’m sure this is probably a really dumb thing I am overlooking. I can’t seem to select/highlight any GridView controls in Visual Studio 2010 when they are located within an asp:table element. If I move the GridView outside of the asp:table element then I can highlight it and see the properties in the property window.
When the control is in the table element it doesn’t display in the designer (but does when running the site) and does not appear in the properties window drop down. Please see screen shot. Any ideas? I’ve looked at just about every option in Visual Studio but can’t seem to find one that would apply.
This isn’t a coding issue as the grid itself works fine – that’s why no code is posted here.
Any thoughts?
Edit – it won’t let me post a screen shot so I’ll post the link
welcome to VS2010… and every other VS 😀
what you can do is go to your source code, scroll to the item you want and just click it’s tag. it should show in the properties window on the right for you to edit.
