I do not recall how to switch between the HTML Editor and the Forms Designer
using a hot key. It would sound like something that could be done but I' not
sure how. I will do a little reading to see if I can spot anything on that. I
will also start sending you the tutorials. I will skip the ones on building the
Database since it sounds like you are mainly working in the HTML Editor and the
Code Behind files for now. Most all the examples use binding to connect the ASP
controls to the Database and the Wizards to accomplish this so they might be
hard to understand if you have not messed with SQL Server at all. In any case
you can see some step by step examples of how one fellow built his Website. It
is a long process because the Data Driven nature of this site requires some
extra technicals to work. And, I specifically added content he wanted to learn
about including things I would not use in a production site but they are
available and do work out of the box. Anyway, I will start sending them to you
in a bit.

Thank you! That actually helps a lot. HOw do you normally switch between
the code editor and the html editor? I know f7 goes to the behind file code,
and shift f7 goes to the design editor, but if I want to work in html view and
not the designer itself, then there's got to be a way to go between those two
I'd think.
Tutorials would be great! My private email is christy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi: Well do most of your work in the HTML Markup Editor rather than in the
Forms Designer. You can drop your controls directly into the Code Editor by
placing your cursor where you want the control to appeear in the code, bringing
up the ToolBox and then clicking the control you want to add to the page. The
code will be dropped directly into the code. You can then highlight the opening
html tag for the control and hit F4 if I remember, and the Properties Window
for that control will come up. You can also hit ctrl+f2 while in the HTML
Markup Editor to bring up a list of controls on the form and you can then
select one of them, or the form itself, tab to the next drop down box and
select an event for that control and a Event Stub will be added to the Code
Behind for the page ready to add your own code to. There are some other things
I can not think of off hand but will check out my StarTrek Tutorials series of
articles to see if I can spot them. I think I still have the Tips and Tricks
file floating around.Oh ya, you can collapse a block of code in the HTML Markup
Editor, then select it and perform a Replace or delete the entire block or
whatever, that was a usefull thing I remember. I don't think I had any troubles
with any of the Wizards, hmmm, it has been some time since I have been working
on a Winforms Project lately. Let me know what you are trying to do and I will
see if I have any articles involving your technicals. Also, I will see if I can
dig up the Tips And Tricks file and post it up under this thread either later
tonight or early tomorrow. I can send you the entire set of articles if you
want for some skim reading to see if you see anything of interest. They do not
cover many, actually most, of the features of VWD since they were written for a
fellow who wanted to see how to use some specific features of a Data Driven
Website but there is allot of good stuff in them if you are familiar with VB, a
little Database and some HTML. I recall using a ListView, DropDown boxes, some
XML and other things you will likely want to have some examples of. It was
developed in VWD 2005 and later in VWD 2008 using the standard ASP Controls and
a Sql Server Express Database. If you want them, I think there are 25 or more,
I will send them to you a few at a time so you can just read through them. You
can save them and use them however you want.
For now I will see if I can dig up the Tips and Tricks file. If you want
the tutorials let me know where to send them. They are just the tutorial text
files with examples and accessibility notes since I don't want to get back into
sending a bunch of code and data files around again. I spent way too much time
trying to help debug code when folks started implementing the actual project.
But, you are welcome to the tutorials and I think you might pick up allot from
just reading through them.

Does anyone have any quick tips for working on web pages in visual
studio? I can't seem to use the same tricks for getting around in the designer
as I did in normal programming, in fact I'm not having much luck even adding a
button or selecting a control in there. I know some of you do this stuff by
hand, but for the classes i'm taking, they don't teach us that method and I
don't really have time to study it well on my own. I do good just keeping up
with the projects as it is. Any tips would be a life saver. Thanks!
