what a waste of money.
visual studio does not handle user control files - these are files with
and ascx extension are are refered to in the help as 'user-authored
server controls'.
the VS help says to use a text editor to create these controls (i
wonder if they'd recommend emacs) - however, web matrix handles these
files fine and you can use the designer to alter them.
the only way i think i can kludge around it is to create aspx files and
then (using an editor) manually convert them to ascx files.
but after paying out a small fortune on this VS thing we should not
have to kludge around anything.
as these files are developed there may be changes - so - find original
aspx file - edit file - remove stuff and add references (manually) to
convert - rename with ascx extension - overwrite existing ascx file.
not a simple kludge and why should i even have to consider this?
having something in web matrix but not in VS is completely unexpected -
and now you have a very disgruntled client who is getting more
disgruntled with MS every day.
