Adding User Controls To Web Page in VB.Net Web App

Question

I have followed the setup instructions at this link Adding Controls to a webpage

However, for the 2 weeks that I have been studying vb.net, I have yet to be able to add a drag and drop form or control element on the page as all options are grayed out...even while in design view. Is there a setting I am overlooking? It doesn't make any sense that there would be tutorials on how to do the exact thing I am trying to do, but for some reason, it does not allow me to do it on my setup. Please help!?

Answer 1

Ok...rookie mistake. I figured it out. I was still running and debugging the application. Must stop the application from running and then all form controls become "addable".

Hope this saves someone time.
