Script Editor

The built-in Web Designer Script Editor provides scripting functionality, along with support for compiling scripts and viewing compilation errors. This editor can be used to create either form scripts or global scripts, depending on how it is accessed. This editor includes validation and class name verification for edited code that has been pasted in the editor window.

Use the Web Designer's Script Editor form to create or edit either form scripts or global scripts.

This script editor offers these features:

  • Syntax highlighting
  • A syntax parser that is useful with both C# and VB code
  • Intellisense-like prompts to aid in writing the code
  • Options to find references to form or global objects and insert them directly into the script
  • Debugging tools to aid in troubleshooting script errors
  • Tools to find and optionally replace specific strings in the existing code
  • Miscellaneous options to control the compiling of script and the appearance of the code text in the editing frame
  • Options to view and work with multiple sections of script using split editing windows
  • Downloading of script for editing in Visual Studio
