I posted about this before and thought I had a workaround, but the problem is back. Now I am wondering if there is another problem that is related.
I should note that these same problems have occured both before and after installing VS Express 2013 Update 2.
Using VS Express 2013 for Web on Windows 7 Professional, the Design, Split and Source views only appear when I first start VS, and vanish after awhile of coding. I tried right-clicking on Default.aspx (View Designer, View Markup, etc.), doing a refresh, closing and reopening the solution, but the only way I can see the design tabs again is to restart VS.
I don't use Design that much, but I definitely need to see Source.
Anyone know of a fix for this?
I have seen the new problem posted here and on Stack Overflow: 'the name 'control' does not exist in the current context'. I have tried every solution listed - the designer.cs page regenerates fine, but no matter what, certain controls cannot be referenced. Telerik controls can be seen, but not button or textbox controls.
Anyone know of a fix for this too?
