It's been a while since I've created a new ASP.NET web application. (I've been doing ASP.NET MVC for the last 9 months, and hadn't done an ASP.NET site for about a year before that.) Now I've created a new regular ASP.NET app and when I look at the Default.aspx file, Visual Studio is only displaying the HTML tab in the Toolbox. I don't have the WebControls or the data access controls. (I don't even remember what other tabs I should be seeing.)
When I try to add a web control manually like this,
<asp:Label id="LabelTest" runat="server"></asp:Label>
I get a green squiggly and the tool tip says Unrecognized namespace 'asp'.
What do I need to do to get the Web Controls in my toolbox and also get the namespace to be recognized?
I've got this line in my page load event:
LabelTest.Text = "testing"
My app compiles and runs as expected -- the label displays testing.
So, I could word around it, but this will just make designing the forms more difficult.
Update: I've tried all 3 of the suggestions posted as answers so far and nothing has helped. Now I'm seeing a different error in addition to what I was getting before. In the designer I now see this:
Error Creating Control - LabelTest
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Authoring' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
