Up to this point everything in the book has been no problem to find or figure out. I'm using the commercial version of Visual Studio 2008 while going through the book.

In working through the "Try It Out" exercise on p.54 I'm unable to get fig. 2-17 to show up in the development tool for me. I have it in Design view and the only things that show up for me on the Style Application toolbar are Style Application (Manual), Target Rule (New Inline Style), a button for "Reuse Existing Style" and another button for "Show Overlay".

If anyone could help me with what I'm doing wrong or not doing, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, Gerry

Hi there,

The toolbar in Figure 2-17 is not the Style Application toolbar, but the Formatting toolbar.

If the formatting toolbar doesn't show, right-click an exiting toolbar and choose Formatting.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Want to be my colleague? Then check out this post.

In the 2010 version of VWD, in the Formatting toolbar, the Target Rule dropdown list shows several options including Automatic, but not Manual.

A Style Application toolbar is not one one of the options. How do we choose the Manual setting in VWD 2010?

Hi there,

This behavior has changed somewhat between VS 2008 and VS 2010. You can leave it to Automatic now. Later chapters then dig a litle deeper into this.

Cheers,

Imar
