Ektron Content Selector tree comes up as empty - ektron

There is this frustrating issue:
The Content Selector on a smart form is coming up as empty for any smart form and any folder.
The right side content loads but the left side tree is gone.
What has happened to the content on this CMS? Because it's not an issue on other instances of ektron.

I found the issue after much debugging into the backend/workarea controls.
The issue was this:
The Root folder (id: 0) has no default template selected, this was a bug that broke the content tree control that Ektron uses. It had two templates in the list but neither of them had the radio button for "Default" checked.
It's a silent error and you wouldn't know until you get this side effect issue.

How to develop inspect element tab for my Web Browser(Using VS2015 Community) in VB.NET

How to Develop inspect element tab section for my Web Browser which i've developed in VS2015 Community. Please help I'm searching this from last few days...
A suggestion for this could be using the TreeView Class which could potentially provide you with what you are looking for (If you're looking to create the 'Inspect Element' in it's entirety). If you just want the code then simply using the DocumentText WebBrowser Property would do that. Just having a TextBox and writing the document text into it, then you could make changes and then on a 'onFocus' Event on the WebBrowser you could have it write the edited text back to the browsers html code.
(I have done the second way before out of curiosity and it's obviously much simpler than the other way that i have suggested)

But with the TreeView :
You can dynamically add Nodes to that object.
Roots are 'Base' Nodes (Parents) and the and the Child, well, is obviously the Child of the Root Node.
(A node consisting of an actual name to call it by, a display name (text), and a tag for any extra info.)
But anyways, the TreeView would be the most work to do.
A few other things potentially worth your time to look at, if you chose to do either option, I've written below in a comment.

labview find terminal grayed out

I am working on some inherited code and I ran across something I've not seen in LabVIEW before...see attached screenshot. Notice when I right-click on the property node and try to find the Terminal...Terminal is grayed out. When I find the Control, it takes me to a blank spot on the front panel that has absolutely no controls (I've ensured that the Control has Visible=True by programmatically setting and verifying that property). I've never seen a Control without a Terminal...what's up? Using LabVIEW 2012.
After quite a bit of digging, I found the answer:
It turns out that the Property Node is pointing (linked) to a control which is buried inside a cluster.
The lesson here is: if Find >> Terminal is grayed out, it's possible (likely) that the control to which the Property Node is linked is inside a cluster. I re-created the scenario with this mini-example:
Finally, I couldn't find the front panel control at the onset because it had its Visible attribute set to false inside the cluster (the cluster was visible, but not the element within the cluster) and it was physically placed far away from the other controls within the cluster, AND it was placed on a hidden Tab page.

NullReferenceException in SharePoint 2010 page layout after restore

It is SharePoint 2010 publishing website. I have a page layout with some user controls added to it. These users controls have rad editor controls in them. Everything was working perfectly unless one day I restored a backup from production to my dev and test environments. This page on dev and test environments started to give "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". When I debug the controls are actually null, and debugger comes directly to set function for the fields, it does not call page_load function before coming to setter.
These same controls are working in other page layouts even after backup restore. The only difference I see in page layouts where these controls work and don’t work is AutoEventWireup="true". I tried adding this attribute to the page layout which is not working but SharePoint started to give error that this attribute is not allowed. Now no matter what I do, add or remove this attribute from my layout I keep getting error.
Another difference I noticed is that this layout was previously updated, other layouts were most probably never updated after website was migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010.
The only way I can make these pages work is by removing these controls from the page,
please help me find a solution to this situation. I have already read a bunch of articles about "AutoEventWireup" I am not sure if this is the problem, nothing seems to provide a solution in my current situation.

How to resolve Windows Forms designer issue - controls move on debug?

Is there a reason / fix for this weird designer issue (at least, I think it's related to the designer), whereby the controls on the form do not appear as they do in the design window when I debug the application..!
Please see the following two screenshots to demonstrate the problem (note: I have blacked out some of the content of the form, this is not the problem):
Picture 1: Showing how the form appears in the designer view
Picture 2: Showing how the form appears in debug mode
You can clearly see that some of the buttons have moved position on the form.
Note: At first glance, this may appear like a duplicate of: Windows Forms Designer destroys form layout. However, I have not installed any additional tools or components. This is simply a standard "vanilla" build of Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7 32-bit.
I've also come across this question: UI Controls Overlapping & Fonts Issue in Windows Forms Application. However, I am not using "large fonts", nor am I using any non-standard fonts on my controls (all label and button text is left as default). Still, I can see how this would affect the control positions and will do some more checks in this area.
There's nothing happening within the form's Load method.
I'm also using TFS 2012.
What could be causing this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
EDIT: I've removed the font property for each label and button control, allowing the system to set the default value. Still no change. Interestingly, if I open the form in design mode, then save it, then close it, then open it again, the buttons have moved... If I do this a few times, the buttons migrate until they're off the form.
OK, I've found the answer, after a bit more fiddling. It seems to be related to the Anchor property on the controls. I made a bunch of changes, testing between each change to see if there was any difference. When I selected all the controls and set the Anchor property to Top, Left, this solved the issue.
I hope this helps someone else at some point!

Silverlight 2 User Control - Unknown attribute name on element

Update:
Screenshot http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/3048788466_661e8e5e78_b.jpg
To reproduce:
Get this sample project from Silveright.net - http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/9/2/5922d533-7ed5-4065-a138-ce3d9ca266e5/4-UserControls_Source_CS.zip
Open the UserControlDemo Solution. Then on Line 9 of Page.xaml, you'll see the error.

I'm creating a User Control in Silverlight 2 using this as my guide.
The problem is that when I use my User Control in Page.xaml, the XAML canvas shows this error: "Unknown attribute Name on element ... ."
Due to this error, I can no longer preview my XAML canvas. The strange thing is that the project still builds and renders my User Control beautifully.
Upon investigating the problem, I've found out the the cause of the problem was that my User Control was using a Style which is a StaticResource. When I remove this Style Property, the error in my Page.xaml XAML file disappears.
This error has been talk about in other online threads but unfortunately to no resolve.
I'm using the latest release and service packs of Visual Studio 2008 and Silverlight 2.
Is there something wrong with what I'm doing or is this a VS/Silverlight bug?
Thanks in advance!
In my experience the Visual Studio XAML designer, especially with Silverlight, will crap out for pretty much anything. I can't open a XAML file without all sorts of those mysterious errors and when it does render in the designer, it's not usually very useful.
