I tried solved the problem deleting the registry settings from

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

Restarting visual web developer reset all my settings to the default settings.

and


Tools->Setting->Import and Export Settings->Reset all settings


but problem still exist.

Hi,

ok you said in your first post that it's VS 2008 is the problem but you deleted the registry entry for VS2010.

Visual studio 2008

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0

Visual studio 2010

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

It is also suggested in that topic to open a command prompt and try the command:

devenv \resetsettings

Did you try that?

Hi Ribeyed thanks for your time considering this problem

Yeah when I went to certain path notified above, my registry have 10.0 and 9.0 folders under Visual Studio folder so I delete content of those folders.

Yes I tried that command devenv \resetsettings but got an error message "windows cannot find devenv"

what can I do ?

[Ribeyed]

Hi,

did you change your folder location to the location of the devenv.exe?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE

run

devenv/RestSettings

Have you tried using the Import or Export Settings wizard located under your tools menu?

Have you tried to import the General.vssettings suggested in the article?

regards


Ribs

[sanjeeme]

Yes I do,

I import from

C:\Documents and Settings\Sanjeewa\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Settings\VWD Express


but in their I found CurrentSettings.vssettings file, not General.vssettings so I import that CurrentSettings.vssettings file but situation not change

[Ribeyed]

Hi,

again your looking in a location that is not the correct location.

If your problem is with VS2008 why would you looking in the Visual Studio 2010 folder?

In the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Profiles folder you should have a few different profiles:

CSharp.vssettings
VB.vssettings
General.vssettings
Web.vssettings
etc.

Opps sorry

actually this is the path

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 10.0\common7\ide\vwdexpress\profiles

in that VWDExpress folder ProjectTemplatesCache. Can I clear Cash (may be option to solved this)



CurrentSettings.vssettings
WebExpress.vssettings
WebExpressBasic.vssettings
WebExpressCode.vssettings

Which file I want to select ????

in ProjectTemplatesCache


there are already folders in program files

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8.0 but those folders are empty

[Ribeyed]

Hi,

ok you never mentioned it was Visual Studio Web Express 2008. I would give the WebExpress.vssettings a go first.

Ribs

[Ribeyed]

w8....

thats still a folder win visual studio 10.0 so what version is it your actually having a problem with?

You started with visual studio 2008 but you keep posting 2010 paths and your last path was to visual studio 2010 web express so which version do you have the problem with?


regards


Ribs

[sanjeeme]

Sorry for mislead you

its VSWD 2010 Express

[Ribeyed]

np it just helps me to help you workout whats wrong.

I don't have that version installed so I can't give you exact file paths and I can't try it out myself either.

You will not find a devenv.exe for VSWD 2010 Express, its called vwdexpress.exe which means you need to try vwdexpress /ResetSettings while in the folder where vwdexpress.exe is located which will be your default install location.

C:\Documents and Settings\Sanjeewa\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Settings\VWD Express\vwdexpress.exe

also try running it in safemode by using the command:

vwdexpress /SafeMode

If you are attempting to use the import/export settings wizard (not sure is express has this) then use the:

WebExpress.vssettings

If your still having problems have you attempted an uninstall and reinstall?

Which OS are you using? If Vista/Windows 7/Server 2008 you will have to elevate you user to administration rights.

OK I'll just try those instructions.

I install this Web Developer express yesterday using Microsoft Web Platform Installer. First couple of hour its working fine, but after this problem appeared. I using XP Prof service pack 3

Its headache for me when coding.

Thanks for you Valuable time.

Ohooo I want to ask another one thing that VWD has Absolute Positioning capability (Objects can drag anywhere in the Design Window)

But in Visual Studio 2008 (I used earlier) I unable to find such a option. Is VS available Absolute Positioning

[Ribeyed]

Hi,

If I'm picking you up correctly then that is GridLayout try adding MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout" to the body tag in VS Express and see if that then allows you to drag drop your objects anywhere in design window.
