"Visual" User Controls in VB.Net (ASP.Net) ??

[Seth Guard]

(I tried the VB thread, but no one had any answers...)

When developing a web page in VS.Net, I see everything in WYSIWYG
format. And when I am creating a User Control, I see that drawn the
same way.

However, when I drag the User Control onto my main page, I see a gray
box where the User Control should be. (I was expecting to see my User
Control actually *rendered* on the Design screen, similar to how
FrontPage renders include pages on a home page.)

Am I doing something wrong, is a setting not properly set, or is this
purely by design?

Of course, it looks fine when I debug/run it. But I was expecting to
see everything on one screen while developing. Little gray
placeholders are going to drive me nuts!

If anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it! Thanks in advance for
your time.

Sincerely,

Thanks for your reply, Joshua. That's helpful to know. (And I'm not
sure why my post re-posted itself after your reply. Very weird.)

Anyway, does anyone else have any suggestions that are either similar
or contradictory? I'm open to anything.

Thanks!
