Visual Web Developer Team Blog

Hi

well, I tried this - it took a few hours, but made no difference. I am sure I got rid of all of the updates, including all of the KB articles you referenced, but I still have no toolbox or intellisense.

Just checked through my installed updates, and none of the above are there.

In terms of Visual Studio stuff already installed, I uninstalled everything related to previous development environments and the above KBs before reboot, apart from AJAX 1.0

So, a few hours of no luck here

Do you think maybe it has to do with VS settings in the registry that does not get removed when you uninstall?  I know when I installed mine, there were a few settings messed up such as line number enabled in my code windows.  Probably be a good time to try reseting the VS environment (I do not remember what the command line option for that was at the moment).

Hi

i tried the reset option, but that didn't help. Email is winging its way over in a few minutes.

It has been a little over a week since we released Beta 2 of VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 . So far the feedback

Followed these steps as well, but didn't seem to fix the problem. Am running VS 2005 on Vista. None of the hotfixes above are installed.

Just to clarify, I'm running both VS 2005 and VS 2008 Beta 2 on Vista. Not receiving any toolbox items except for HTML when I create a new web site.

Do we perhaps need to also run aspnet_regiis -i from the 3.5 directory?

If so, would that suffice over reinstalling all of Visual Studio after uninstalling those hotfixes? On Beta 2's release, I lost a whole day uninstalling Orcas Beta 1, reinstalling Visual Studio 2005, reinstalling VS2005 SP1, and then installing Beta 2. I'm not going through that again.

Description of this issue Since Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 and the .NET Framework 3.5 beta 2 were released,

Jon -- It doesn't look like the aspnet_regiis idea will work. Couldn't find a version specific to 3.5; it just kept installing 2.0.

This issue also occurs under Longhorn Beta 3.

I also reinstalled and had the same problem. Can i do anything to help with this?

Description of this issue Since Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 and the .NET Framework 3.5 beta 2 were released,

I followed the steps in your blog and then did the devenv /resetsettings as described in scott's blog. Now i get a message that says "Could no load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Authoring' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

This turned out to be because i tried to use the 3.5 beta 2 framework install outside of the VS install. So, i uninstalled and reinstalled (again) and i still have the problem. I see that my system.web.dll is of the version 2.0.20727.833 but it seems like i'm helpless to do anything about that.

"Jon -- It doesn't look like the aspnet_regiis idea will work. Couldn't find a version specific to 3.5; it just kept installing 2.0."

Yeah my 3.5 directories at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5 and C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5.20404 and C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 don't have much in them ...

Well it sounds like we're all SOL. Everyone else here says that reinstalling VS will not fix the problem.

Re my just-posted comment, .. duh. The blog post said that netfx3.5 was not fully installed due to hotfixes...

This blog post doesn't seem to help if you're not using Windows Vista. I'm using Windows Server 2003 not all of the KB articles are listed, particularly under .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (which may or may not be among the KB articles listed in the blog, but most definitely should have KB articles referenced in the first place; *NO UPDATES* on my computer should be without a documentation reference). I can't uninstall the thing because I get the error, "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 cannot be uninstalled because it will affect other applications that are installed." Where is my shotgun? I feel like blowing a hole in my computer monitor ....

omg. I wish I could cancel my comments posts.

My Win2003 environment has toolbars.

My Vista x64 environment (a virtual machine) had no toolbars in VS2008. I have removed the KB updates and restarted and will reinstall VS2008B2 without uninstalling. Crossing my fingers.

Same. Removed hotfixes then ran devenv /resetsettings. Using Team Suite edition on Windows XP

Created a new website within the same solution and the toolbox items were there. I started migrating the original website over to the newly created one to see if something in the site was causing the issue. The toolbox items remained and were functioning until I restarted VS2008 then the new site had the same problem...I could only see the HTML controls.

Just confirmed that in our office, every machine is behaving the same way - both XP and Vista.

On my Vista x64 environment, I finally got around to uninstalling all of the listed KB's that were installed, rebooted, and ran the reinstaller for VS2008 Beta 2. I still see no toolbox items on a .NET 3.5 web site solution.

I'm using Vista ultimate, I have the KB110806 and KB929300 but I can't remove them. After trying to remove, windows ask me to reboot and after that, these updates still be here.

If I try to install .net 3.5 with these updates, the installation fails and if I don't reboot after removing, the install still fail ...

How can I definitively remove these updates ?

I Have already installed Windows Server 2008 Beta3 with IIS7.After installed Visual Studio Orcas,there is not asp.net controls in toolbox too.

Hello,

I'm using Vista Bussines. I installed Orcas beta 2 and I don't have asp.net controls. I tried uninstall all hotfixes mentioned in article and reinstall netframework 2 and 3.5.

I also check the version of system.web.dll, in windir is 2.0.50727.1318, but in \wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFX20\aspnet.msp package is 2.0.50727.1378. It looks like the Orcas installer don't want install newer version of this library.

Fixed it! (at least on my machine.)

Looks like SQL Server 2005 (fully patched/update) was conflicting with it somehow. While SQL Server 2005 is running locally on my machine, I get the missing toolbox behavior. Stopping all SQL Server services fixes the issue.

Only problem is, I can't run SQL Server 2005 and VS 2008 at the same time! :(

I'll be interested if anyone has got a simple solution to the System.Web.dll versioning. I'm still on 1318, can't get it up to 1378.

Good support by the team though, however I suspect you must be working on some other way of solving this - no contact for a week means it must be difficult... !!!

I has SQL Express 2005 and your solution doesn't work ;)

Additionaly when I open a website project and show up toolbox I'll get message "Package Load Failure". This package is "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.DslDesigner.DslDefinitionModelPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.DslDesigner". This bug was submited on VS feedback page, but they couldn't reconstruct this error so it's not solved.

I also did the whole uninstall and reinstall.

At first everyhting worked fine. I did some stuff for a couple of days.

Then this morning I started a new project and the toolbox was gone. I did the "devenv /resetsettings" but that did not help either.

Well, the toolbox came back this morning. I worked for about 2 hours. As I was about to run the project I noticed lots of red underscores - and the toolbox was gone again.

The project still runs though.

It has been a little over a week since we released Beta 2 of VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 . So far the feedback

Ditto here. It's completely screwed here too. I've uninstalled all of the patches and no go.

If it requires the sp1 of .net 2.0 and .net 3.0 that's a no go because of a massive bug in System.Data that causes all of the events for changes to the datasources to not work right thus breaking pretty much every .NET application that works with a database.

Brutal bug.

i use web server 2008 june ctp,there is not asp.net controls in toolbox adn no intellisense. and no update for web server 2008

I have an idea:

If someone was to post the version that is the right file, then we could just drop it into our GACs and volia, problem solved...

I tried do that, but I had problems with linked libraries (and a lot of exceptions). So copying a newer version of file is not the solve. We should replace all files from .NET2.0, but it is not easy.

Ok. so the solution is to reinstall the msu files that are in the msu directory/dotnetframework on the orcas install.

This installs the sps for .net 2 and .net 3. This always fixes the problem.

However! It only works in Vista as far as  Ican tell, and then you get the busted System.Data issues that will make almost all Winforms apps that do data acces not work right....

I hope there is a CTP coming soon with this fixed...

When I use the Win2003 environment,it has toolbars.

When I changed the windows server 2008 beta 3,there  is not asp.net controls in toolbox and no intellisense.

Any news on this? Seems like the suggested workaround didn't work due to some conflict with SQL Server. Can someone post a workaround that works?

Thanks

070917终于知道原因了。

确实跟微软的补丁有关。

我参考了这篇文章　删除某些补丁，并卸载重装了一次VS2008BETA2,现在

Well, I fixed it. It wasn't exactly the way I wanted to, but a upgrade installation of Vista did the trick as it restored the DLL version to one which could be upgraded.

In the end, it took just a small amount of time. I hope when the next version comes out, I don't have to do it again....

I'm experiencing the same problem. Has anyone gotten this fixed by following the instructions above?

I'm on Vista 32-bit using VS2005, Visual C# 2008 beta 2, Visual Web Developer beta 2 and Sql server standard.

Has anyone found a fix for this that works on Windows XP Pro, VS 2008 Beta2?  I have .NET 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 all installed correctly as far as I can tell.  I see a system.web in the GAC for 1.1.5000.0, 1.1.3300.0 and 2.0.0.0 but not 3.* (is there one).
