BUG: Visual InterDev 6.0 HTML Encodes Source

Article ID: 255831

Article Last Modified on 10/16/2002

APPLIES TO

Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q255831

SYMPTOMS

When a file is opened to be edited with Visual InterDev 6.0, source code characters are encoded with their HTML variable equivalents.

For example, the following code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

 <INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp > 4) {return false}">

 <SELECT name="tmpSelect">
 <OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>>Default</OPTION>
 </SELECT>

 <IMG src="myImg.gif">
  </PRE>

 <%@ Language=VBScript %>

 <INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp > 4) {return false}">

 <SELECT name="tmpSelect">
 <OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>>Default</OPTION>
 </SELECT>

 <IMG src="myImg.gif">

is replaced with this code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp &amp;gt; 4) {return false}">

<SELECT name="tmpSelect">
<OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>&amp;gt;Default</OPTION>
</SELECT>

<IMG src="myImg.gif">

  
<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<INPUT type="button" value=" Sample " onclick="if (intTemp &amp;gt; 4) {return false}">

<SELECT name="tmpSelect">
<OPTION<% If blnCheck Then Response.Write " SELECTED"%>&amp;gt;Default</OPTION>
</SELECT>

<IMG src="myImg.gif">

NOTE: Some of the ">" characters within the lines of code are replaced with ">".

CAUSE

This behavior is caused by a bug in the Link repair functionality for Visual InterDev 6.0 projects.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow these steps to disable Link repair:

Right-click the Project in the Project Explorer.
Select Properties.
On the General tab, under Link repair, click Off.
Click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
