Is there an easy way to "Go To Definition" of an ASP.Net Control event while using the Visual Studio HTML Editor?
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Create New Employer" ID="btnCreateNewEmployer" OnClick="btnCreateNewEmployer_Click" />
I want to access btnCreateNewEmployer_Click method in the code behind without having to scroll through it or doing a ctrl-F to find it.
Thanks.
The only way that I can think is by having the focus on the button and pressing Keyboard's "F4" button or clicking on the "Properties" menu and then go to events tab which has this defintion. Otherwise, you can always go to the Design View and double click on the button itself.
Hope this Helps!!
You can use this extension for VS 2012 it’s available for free:
It enables you to Make ctrl+click perform a "Go To Definition" on the identifier under the cursor.
Go To Definition
Hope it helps.

In the Visual Studio 2015 IDE, QuickFind has changed. While I find it irritating that it only has one arrow and a dropdown for forward/back/all, the biggest problem is that it goes away when I click on a new tab (file).
Old Process:
Select a a control from an aspx page
Ctrl-F to get it into QuickFind
Click on the tab for the aspx.vb page
Click the arrow to step through the places that the control is referenced
Current Process:
Select the control
Ctrl-F to open the QuickFind
Click the arrow to “find” the thing I’ve selected (or else it won’t be in the dropdown list later)
Click on the tab for the new page
Ctrl-F again to open the QuickFind
Click the dropdown for find history and select the thing I’m searching for
Click the arrow to actually perform the find
Further, QuickFind seems to be missing from Productivity Power Tools 2015.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?
I am using asp.net and vb.
In Visual Studio 2008, it is possible to double click on a button from the resource view of a CDialog box and be directed right to the code that will help me edit its actions. However, in 2013, when I double click on a button, an "Add Class Wizard" window pops up. I just want to edit what my button does. How can I do this? In the button's properties window, the "property pages" button (the wrench) is disabled, and when I click on the "control events" button (the lightning bolt), there is nothing to select.
Thanks in advance!
If you're looking strictly for properties, right click the mouse and select "Properties". Additionally, you can right click the mouse on the button and select "Add Event Handler..." from the popup menu. That should display an Event Handler Wizard dialog that will allow you pick any number of events that the control supports. Note, however, if your resources are stored in a resource only dll, this approach can be problematic.
I've an infopath form that uses picture buttons to switch to different views.
In edit mode everything works allright but I would like to use my buttons also on "read-only" views like "View Item" from sharepoint.
MS says that we can use Picture Button to do so, but in my case the button is displayed but it doesn't do anything, it's like a static picture.
(cf. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/add-delete-and-switch-views-pages-in-a-form-HA101732801.aspx#_Toc260325721 at the end of "Add a button for switching views" section.)
Does somebody expected this problem too or have a solutions?
Thank you for your help.
The "Switch Views" rule action must be the only rule associated with the Picture Button. Is this the case? Also, it will be helpful to know what rule you are attaching to the button.
Here's a more detailed guide from Microsoft, maybe it'll have something the other is missing?

Is there a way to turn off the HTML designer in Visual Studio 2005?
I know you can tell it to go to the source code view directly, which I've done. But if I'm in the code behind and I press Shift + F7 to go to the .aspx page it goes to the designer rather than the source .aspx code. I never use the designer because it's slow and inaccurate. I prefer to edit the .aspx code and work side by side with the browser.
So can I turn off the designer entirely?
Go to Tools --> Select Options
Select HTML Designer --> Uncheck HTML designer
Click OK
After doing this restart your Visual Studio
Options...
Text Editor > HTML/XML > Format
Uncheck Apply Automatic Formatting When switching from Design to HTML/XML view
Open aspx page in source view only:
Right-click some file, Open With..., select Source Code Editor, click Set as Default
Try changing the action that the key combination Shift-F7 points to. The default for Shift-F7 (if you're using the Visual C# 2005 keyboard layout) is View.ViewDesigner. You probably want View.ViewMarkup.
You can remap function keys in the Keyboard window, under Tools/Customize. Click the Keyboard button.
I am using visual studio 2005 and I have added Datepicker dll in my bin folder.And By doing right click on solution Explorer Add:references,choosed the that dll.But I want display that control in my toolbar.Does I need to create tab for it.Or it automatically get created.
You need to go to your toolbox then right click anywhere in the toolbox area click choose item and then you can sleect your server control dll from there and it should appear in your toolbox
For Visual Studio information always check MSDN first ;-)
HTH.
