Enabling intellisense in VS 2005 with HtmlControls

You may find that after having manually added "runat=server" and given a unique ID to a HtmlControl in the HTML of your page that you do not have intellisense for it in your codebehind file.  This is due to VS not properly handling your manual changes.  Instead, follow the steps below to add the "runat=server" attribute.

To enable intellisense in the codebehind file for HtmlControls on your webpage:

  1. Drag the HTML control you wish to use from the toolbox and place it on the webpage in the designer.
  2. Give the control a unique ID using the designer or by entering it manually in the code view of the designer.
  3. IMPORTANT:  Right-click on the control and select "Run As Server Control" in the designer.  Do not add the "runat=server" attribute manually!
  4. Profit via intellisense.

 

If your HtmlControl already has the "runat=server" attribute, right click on the control and clear "Run As Server Control", then right click on the control and select it.
