  1. Add Validator
  2. Extract ContentPlaceHolder
  3. Extract ContentPlaceHolder (and create master page)
  4. Extract Style (Class)
  5. Extract Style (id)
  6. Extract to UserControl
  7. Move to Code-behind
  8. Move Style Attributes to CSS
  9. Rename Style
  10. Surround with Update Panel

You can find more information on each refactoring from Mark's excellent post. Make sure to check out the funny and informative 12 minute screencast on the ASP.NET refactorings.

sirrocco,

I haven't heard about this from other users, in fact, many have installed it in VS 2008 BETA 2 without problems.

I recommend contacting our support@devexpress.com department with screenshots and the specific error file or log file.

Thanks.
