Hello everyone,
developing a test site on VWD 2010 express, WinXP machine and SQL Server 2008, I fell on this strange VWD behaviour. After assigning an SQL DataSource as the Data Source for a ListView control, I try to configure it, using option "Configure ListView". So, instead of the expected dialog box, I get a majestic Error Box "Error invoking "Configure ListView...". Details: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
Points after a research:
- If a non-SQL DataSource is selected (tried an Access one), the dialogbox shows up fine.
- Other controls (GridView) have no problem working with this DataSource, design- or runtime.
- On a new project, same things happen creating from scratch all connectionStrings (SQL and Access for testing).
- /log startup option showed nothing but Information.
- Repair proccess from Internet also gave no resutls.
- This machine had a Windows Update two days before, which has been rolled back (thought it might have something to do with that, didn't gave much hope but said "what the heck"
So, I come to think that this DialogBox has some issues with SQL server. Relevant posts that I searched refer mainly to exceptions at runtime raised by the ASP/code and not the IDE itself, so this is why I posted here.
Any advise would be really appreciated.
Many thanks
