Is there any possibility to show our Form without starting debug?
I know there is designer preview, but I want to perform a quick test of form apperance (all of the popups, lists etc.) without building and debugging applicattion. The problem is when I add new form to existing application that has to log-in to external system - which takes time.
You could always build the new form in a separate solution and copy it over once you are happy with its performance/operation. That way you only need to compile the form and not the entire other project w/ login etc...

I'm using Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition w/ .Net 4.8 but the same behavior presents itself with Visual Studio 2019 Professional w/ .Net 4.6.1
What is happening is that I can clone a new Feature branch from Git to my local system and when I launch it everything is fine. The main application form presents itself just fine and I can get to all of the buttons, dropdown lists, file selectors just fine. The minute that I had any new control to the form when I subsequently launch the application the form is cut in half and I can't get to any of the controls and maximizing the form doesn't help either. When I inspect the designer code things have been drastically moved around in the post modification file as compared to the original. I've included sample information--
Original Form Display
Post Modification Form Display
Designer Code Compare Sample
A team member can take the same code base and add controls without any problems. Additionally he took my codebase which runs fine on his system compiled it and sent me the executable and when I launched that executable I had the problems with form display that my solution exhibits.
One final not thinking it was my laptop I got a brand new laptop and I'm still seeing the issue. I also created an AWS EC2 Instance and tried it there with the same behavior.
We're all stumped here none of us has ever seen behavior like this. We're hoping that someone in the Community has seen this sort of thing before and can shed some light on the issue.

I've been creating a new webforms website in c# and been working exclusively in source view until yesterday when I wanted to create a method for a button click for the only dynamic part of the site and I was confronted with this:
I've never seen this before! Every page is the same and it reoccurs on another machine with VS 2013 The site renders fine and publishes without issue. Other websites work fine, so it's got to be this project.
I don't know if this is a separate issue or is part of the same problem, but I managed to link up the button to a method using Resharper, but data from textboxes are not passing to the method, which again I've never had before.
It's a 30 page bootstrap site (replacing an old site) that I've nearly finished! Am I screwed??
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
It's not that I'm worried about seeing the page render in design view. I never use it. I just want to be able create the button click event method. At the moment the button click is just reloading the page and not passing form data to the method.
This happens due to improper termination of the Visual Studio processes due to which the files get corrupted for which you might need to use system restore or re-installation of the product. Still assuming that its caused due to some setting mismatch we can perform the following steps.
1.right click on an html file listed in Solution Explorer
2.in dialog box that opens click on: Open With...
3.click on: HTML (Web Forms) Editor, AND on the right pane click on Set it As Default
after this action all html files that you open have options: Design...Split...Source.

Based on our project we created several item and project templates which after installation using our installer works perfectly. this was really good step as it avoids spending time on setting up new projects or modules inside our enterprise application. Now we want to move forward and create something similar to the context menu inside visual studio when u click Views or Controls folder inside ASP.NET MVC application and in other types of projects as well (for example when u click your right mouse button on your WPF application, under Add menu u get different items which avoids opening new window where u have to search for item time.
My goal is to create add in or whatever it is called to make it even easier to work with our SDK so for example when developer right-clicks on project we want to have our own menu items under New menu so developers will be able to add OURPROGRAM View, OURPROGRAM view with validation. can anyone assist me with this? or how provide good examples of this?
Look for the Visual Studio SDK documentation on MSDN.
There is an open source Iron Python project which is your best resource.

Also on MSDN there is a walkthru for creating a basic project system.

In 'Data Source' window from where I can drag and drop data sources to a form, I can set the field to different control 'Textbox', 'Label', etc. But I used to be able to set them to some third party component (in this case Telerik's components). Just now I started to work on my project again, and these third party components do not appear there anymore.
I click on the choice list, customize ... I get the window 'Options' width 'Data UI customization' selected, there I used to be able to select Telerik's control, but again they don't appear there anymore.
How could I customize this ?
I ran into something similar back in December... apparently with some windows updated / service patches, it corrupted something. I couldn't even pick a UI control of my OWN. I even tried by creating a BRAND NEW project, created a single class and it would not appear in the toolbox to be put into a form anywhere.
By doing some digging, I came across a blog (don't remember where), but it directed me to do the following. Get to your Visual Studio Command Prompt. There should be one in your Startbar menus specifically under your Visual Studio icon group.
Once at the command prompt, do
DEVENV /setup
This apparently does some fresh "cleanup" settings and fixed whatever was stopping the classes from being displayed. As soon as I did, and re-started VS, the class libraries appears and able to be put into forms no problem.
I want to develop the application UI much like as VS2010 or any similar UI models. My requirements are as below:
Opening new project will create empty canavs.
When I will do add data sheet it will add new tab page in that.
Remaining few things I will do on that added tab page like showing charts, different types of controls etc.
When I will press 'Save' it will persist whatever there on UI like added tab pages and every controls on it on disk.
When I will open any saved project, It will recreate everything what was there on UI at the time of saving the project.
I will have recently open project list.
Any idea for creating how to create such UI?
Thanks,

Maybe develop your solution over Visual Studio SDK? A good sample is AddonStudio for World of Warcraft which is customized dev. environment for World of Warcraft addon development based on Visual Studio.
It's quite easy to implement the Visual Studio-inspired UI using DevExpress Docking library for WinForms.
