Nobody answered this. Is it because nobody faced it or I am missing something or just I was not clear ? However I found more problems in VS.Net IDE when using template column and switching between design and html view ... sometimes your declarations in the code behind cs file just disappear in this switching process. You gotta again include them ...

In the aspx page ( or in ascx ), in the design mode I add some kind of data bound server side control ( like a datalist / datagrid ). Then use the templatecolumn for that data component which is bound with a dataset. Now, while creating the itemtemplate, I need to dynamically create the html ... so I have to use the DataBinder for that. For example, below is a typical itemtemplate: <ItemTemplate> <table> <tr> <td align="left" valign="center"> <input type = "button" class ="stButton" value="Select" language ="javascript" onclick = "SelectIt('<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Login")%>','<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FirstName")%> <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "LastName")%>' )"/> </td> .... ( more similar items ) </tr> </table> </ItemTemplate> After I add this type of itemcolumn, and try to go back to design mode, I can't ... it says Could not open in Design View. Quote values differently inside a <% ... %> block. That was fine ... I can live with that, although now you have to write any UI items in HTML view. But now if you add any htmlelement ( like a hidden form variable ) and make it runat server, and try to populate that from server side ( in the code behind cs file ), it generates an error ( saying it can't find that element in the namespace ). But if you switch to design view ( by temporarily deleting the above Item Column ) and then again switch to html view and recreate the Item Col, it starts recognizing the new html element which runs at server. This happens pretty consistently ... I happen to bump into this and found the work around .. but just wanted to share with you guys and save some of your head banging frustration ( which I had to do ). Also I would love to know if I am missing something in this whole context ...
