Error Creating Controls - 10/10/2006 18:33:06   
I'm not sure if this belongs in this forum or in the ASP forum. I'm a designer and not a programmer. Very experienced with FP, but just getting started with EWD.

A programmer wrote me a handful of different custom ASP controls. In design view on FP, I always see the little grey box with red type for "Error Creating Controls". I had downloaded an earlier version of EWD and was very excited when I didn't see the errors in design view. (The errors push everything else around on the design view making it difficult to work.) I was very excited when I download an early version of EWD and didn't see the errors. (I'm not sure now what version it was...I think I downloaded it in July.)

I downloaded the last two versions of EWD and in design view the errors are back in both version. (The controls have not been changed and the declarations have not been changed.) All of the controls work perfectly in IE and FF - I'm just seeing the "error creating controls" version in design view.

I'm not sure if this will help or not. This is the declaration my programmer put on the pages using Visual Studio. He added this early on.

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="GdsWebControls" Namespace="Gds.WebControls" Assembly="gdsWebControls" %>

Something I was reading indicated that maybe these declarations are not correct...yet they work in IE and FF, so I hesitate to change them.

Thanks for any feedback.

This still happens on the release version too.

Visual Studio seems to be able to render these controls correctly. Is there an option or control that I could change.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've never dealt with that particular circumstance. Sorry but I can't help. Prehaps a screen shot of the error your talking about might spur some thought in other forum users.

Here's a picture of the error. I also included an inset from code view (see purple box) that shows the declaration at the top of the page. When the programmer who wrote the controls looks at the page in Visual Studio, it looks fine. This is what I see in Expression in design view. (It always looked like this in FP too...but I was hoping for more from expression.

(I hope I attached it correctly.)

THANKS!
