Is there design time support in VS2008 for SharePoint Application Pages?
I've wrote an SPService and I want to develop an UI for the properties who are necessary for running this SPService. But I can't manage to get design time support in VS2008. I'm creating an custom ASPX which inherits from GlobalAdminPage and has the "_admin/admin.master" masterpage.
Thanx in advance!
Can you use SharePoint Designer?
The admin.master file is in the 12 hive under 12\TEMPLATE\ADMIN\admin.master. You could copy that into an _admin folder in your Visual Studio project. But then you'll need to resolve the broken _controltemplates references with files found in 12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES. If it's an option, instead of trying to duplicate SharePoint Designer's functionality in Visual Studio, you'd probably be better off just using SharePoint Designer.
