Sharepoint Designer 2010 inserting blank lines

Sharepoint Designer (SP1) is intermittently inserting hundreds of thousands of rows as I am working with an .aspx document. This bug, which was first present in 2007, has been reported by many people over the years; it seems to remain in 2010.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Is there something in my page, which contains a bunch of xsltlistviews, that could be blowing up this file?
Thanks.

All --
FYI, here is a decent workaround to the problem of SPD 2013 (SharePoint Designer 2013) inserting blank lines into pages.
Here are the steps.
- Get CodeMaid (free) or similar coding-tool plugin/extension for Visual Studio 2013 (VS 2013) that can remove blank lines.
- Check out the file in SPD.
- From SPD, right click the file and choose open with, then choose VS.
- Run CodeMaid clean processing in VS, which will remove multiple consecutive blank lines.
- Save file in VS.
- Close file in VS.
- Check in file with SPD.
- Done.
It may seem like a lot of steps, and it is, and it odd the MS does not simply use the same code editor base for both VS and SPD, but using this workaround is actually pretty quick and easy, and easier still if you use the VS editor to code the files (instead
of the SPD editor) because the VS has way better code-folding and code-completion and code-digging anyway.
Just thought I would mention a (fairly) quick and easy way to workaround this SPD shortcoming.
HTH.
Thanks.

Sharepoint Designer 2010 and HTML Editing

Hi -
This may sound like a stupid question, but is there WYSIWG in Sharepoint Designer 2010? I've got to do basic HTML code, insert items, insert links, insert columns/tables, etc. I don't see a way to do this in Designer? Maybe I'm blind? I
am used to coding in Dreamweaver. Should I just assume that I'm going to have to continue to do my code/designs in Dreamweaver and then copy it in to Designer?
I'm pretty confused, I thought I could do some basic HTML (aside of editing fonts/colors etc) in Designer. I'm basically trying to create a wiki page with FAQ style text and some images and buttons.
I'm new to all this, I come from an admin and web design background, not really a Sharepoint Design/Development background.
Thanks for any help!

You will normally need to edit a page in Advanced mode to get access to modify its HTML. This will unghost the page.

Can't open sharepoint site with sharepoint designer 2010

Hi there,
We've installed SP Foundation + SP Server 2010 and set up some sites.
when we tried to open it with SP Designer 2010, it fails and gave us some errors.
opening SPD through site actions :
unable to open website. possible causes:
1. the web server may not have sharepoint server installed
2. the web server may be temporarily out of service
3. if you are connecting through a proxy server, the proxy settings may be incorrect
4. an error may have occured in the web server
opening sharepoint site through SPD:
the folder 'http://mysp.domain.com/site/default.aspx' isn't accessible. the folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or \.
the thing is ... we have no problem with sharepoint designer 2007.
any idea?

Hi p.andrew,
If you want to open the site use SPD, you should enable the Client Integration for the web application at first.
Here are the steps:
1.
Go to this location : “Central administration” > “Security” > “Specify authentication provider”;
2.
Select the Web Application which you want to edit use SPD (SharePoint Designer 2010), and click the “Default” below the ‘Zone’;
3.
Select the “Yes” radio button
in the Client Integration section, and click the ‘Save’ Button;
4.
Close and re-Open the IE;
5.
Try to Open the site using SPD.

SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013 Issues

I currently have Visio 2013 and SharePoint Designer 2010 installed. I have two problems that I'm experiencing and any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. I'm able to export an already manually created workflow from SharePoint Designer 2010 as a .vwi file without a problem and am able to import the file into Visio Pro 2013. I
was also able to export the file from Visio once changes were made. However, when I go to import the file into SharePoint Designer I receive a message stating "This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a
different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted. To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of Visio workflow drawing." I cannot figure out how to save it in the format the prompt is suggesting
as this is not available from the list of Save As options from Visio and when exporting from Visio the only format to do so is as a Visio Workflow Interchange (.vwi file). When exporting from SharePoint Designer I’m only able to export as a .vwi file
and the Save As option is not available in SharePoint Designer. Additionally, the file location where I exported from SharePoint and importing back into SharePoint is not changing, nor is the file name.
2. If I create a workflow from scratch within Visio utilizing the SharePoint 2010 shapes, I'm about to export without a problem and save as a .vwi file. I'm also able to import this workflow into SharePoint Designer, but the problem is the workflow
never actually shows up and I do not receive any errors.
Any help on either or both of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Use Visio 2010. You may be running into a compatibility issue between Visio 2013 and Designer 2010.

Sharepoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013

I am testing out Visio Professional 2013. I can import a VWI file from Sharepoint Designer 2010 and I can export a VWI file from Visio. But when I try to import the VWI file created in Visio 2013 into sharpoint Designer 2010 it appears to work, as
I don't get an error, but the work flow never appears. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Based on my research, if it is SharePoint Designer 2010, then the only edition that supports SharePoint workflows is Visio 2010 Premium edition.
And if you use Visio 2013, then it need to use SharePoint Designer 2013.

Unable to edit in SharePoint Designer 2010

I am having problems editing a simple SharePoint Team Site in SharePoint Designer 2010. I'm using SharePoint 2010 Foundation Server. I'm running Windows 8.1.
Receive pop up message:
Unable to open Web site. Possible causes:
The Web server may not have SharePoint Server installed.
The Web server may be temporarily out of service.
If you are connecting through a proxy server, the proxy settings may be incorrect.
An error may have occurred in the Web Server.

Hi Vuyo,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you opened a site with SharePoint 2010 Designer.
Please do as the followings:
Check whether SharePoint Designer is enabled in Center Administration->General Application Settings->configure SharePoint Designer settings, more inforamtion, please refer to
it.
Check your permission in that web site, ensure you have permission to open that web site in SharePoint Designer (Check in Site Permission > Permission Level in ribbon > Click the permission you belongs to > Ensure Use Remote Interfaces is selected).
Make sure the server that hosts SharePoint 2010 Deisgner can acccess your SharePoint sie correctly.
If this issue still exists, please run SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, then compare the result.
In addition, here are some similar post for your reference:

Error while opening list workflow in SharePoint designer 2010

Hi,
I am trying to open list workflow in SharePoint designer 2010,its showing me the following page.
Please help me how will be able to edit the workflow.
While i click on "export to visio",its showing the error as "SharePoint designer encountered an error generating the visi workflow drawing".
Please help me to get the logic of the workflow,so that i can create new one.
Thank you

Hi Aditi,
Which type of workflow did you use?
Did you create the workflow using SharePoint 2010 Designer or built-in workflow template?
If the workflow was created using SharePoint 2010 Designer, for editing the workflow using SharePoint Designer, open the site with SharePoint 2010 Designer, then click the 'Workflows' in left panel. Then in the right panel, click the workflow that you
want to edit, then click 'edit workflow' under Customization.
I hope this helps.

Hi Renee,
No, you do not have to edit the form from the master page. Master pages do not have forms on them. They define the layout and look-n-feel of a Sharepoint Site.
You said you are adding new column to the list in SPD. Why not in the site itself and then edit the form.?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-designer-help/create-a-custom-list-form-using-sharepoint-designer-HA010378258.aspx
Also, check if you master page is checked in and published. If there is content approval on it, it should be approved.

Trouble creating a Netezza datasource from SharePoint Designer 2010 using OLEDB

I am trying to create a data source in SharePoint Designer 2010 for connecting to a Netezza database via OLEDB. If I choose the Microsoft .NET Data Provider for OLEDB and give it the server name, username, and password, I get the following connection
error:
Server Error: An error occurred while retrieving the list of Databases from nzprod-vip: The data retrieval service encounterd an error during connection to the data source. Contact the server administrator for more information.
(The server administrator had no additional information.)
If I use a custom connection string, specifying the Netezza OLEDB provider, whose format looks like this (actual database and credentials omitted):
Provider=NZOLEDB;Password=...;User ID=...;
Data Source=...;Initial Catalog=...;
Persist Security Info=True;Port=5480;Logging Level=0;Log Path=nzconnect.log; Optimize for ASCII=True;
I get the following connection error:
Server Error: An error occurred while retrieving the list of Databases from nzprod-vip: The Web server cannot connect to the specified data source because the query may contain errors, the data source may be unavailable or configured improperly, or you Web
site is behind a proxy server or firewall.
If your Web site is behind a proxy server or firewall, verify that your server administrator has configured the Data Retrieval Services HTTP proxy server setting for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
(We are not behind a proxy server or firewall.)
The NZOLEDB provider is loaded on the SharePoint server running the SharePoint Data Retrieval Service. I can successfully connect to the Netezza database if I login directly to the SharePoint server and run a Netezza database
browser that connects via NZOLEDB using the same parameters that are in custom connection string I tried through SharePoint Designer.
Our SharePoint server configuration has one server for the application services (including the Data Retrieval Service) and two other servers running just SharePoint web services. (We actually loaded the NZOLEDB driver on all three servers for
good measure, though we think the server running the Data Retrieval Service would be right one.)
We do not think SharePoint privileges are a factor, since we had our SharePoint administrator try to connect while running with full access privileges.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Ronald,
i am not quite sure how the OLEDB connect to the netezza, as i heard they also have their own OLEDB, as you mentioned.
but please have a check this link, perhaps it may help to set up OLEDB in sharepoint designer

Unable to Create Workflows with either SharePoint Designer 2010 or 2013 to our SharePoint Online Service

Hey there
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on our current issue using SharePoint Online (hope this question is in the correct place)
We are using SharePoint Online and I believe we are using the SharePoint Plan 1 for EDU - which I believe is the A2 Free plan.
I have being trying to get my head around the new changes (as we currently run a standalone 2010 deployment) and decided to see what workflow options I had. I had read to use SharePoint Designer 2013 with the online service and after installation opened
the package, connected to the site and tried to create a simple email workflow. I first saw a loading screen stating
"The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Activities, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=731bf3856ad364e35.
Contact your server administrator for more information."
after this it tried loading some metadata and then I saw:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
I close SPD down and rebooted and then same happened again and continues too.
After research I applied a hotfix that was known to resolve the issue, but it still remains. I also tried running SPD in admin mode but the same still happens.
Lastly I tried selecting workflows 2010 from the drop down field when creating the workflow to see what happened. I go the same. I also keep getting the following as a pop from time to time.
The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.
Contact your server administrator for more information.
I have also tried to do the same in SharePoint Designer 2010, but receive the same massages.
What should I be looking at or doing to help rectify this?
Regards
RDH

uninstalled Language Pack and it worked!
Uninstalling the Preview and installing SharePoint Designer 2013 resolved the error.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/74327.aspx
According to the link as linle provided, there are two deletions in local, please double check these two places:
1.Delete all folders in the following directory:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache\
2.Delete the files in all folders in this directory:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\ (don’t delete the folders, just delete the contents of the folders)
Then, try to create a new workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013 to see if it works.
You can first keep the list for the current status, and save it as a template which will be used to create another list.
1.Login and locate the associated list on your SharePoint Online.
2.Click List Settings under List tab, and click Save list as template.
3.Type a File name, Template name, select Include Content, and click OK. Click OK.
4.Click Site Actions->More Options->List.
5.Locate and click the newly saved template, type a name, and click Create.
Then, create a workflow in your SharePoint Designer 2010 associated to the new list to see if it works.
Moreover, please check if there are any maintenances on your SharePoint Online which may cause the issue.
1.Login to Office 365 Portal (https://portal.microsoftonline.com/).
2.Click Service Health in the left pane of Admin page.
3.Check the status of SharePoint Online

Report Painter insert blank line after report header

Hi Expert,
I have a problem to insert a blank line (a spacing) after the report header of my customized report painter.
For example, in standard cost center report, S_ALR_87013611, there is a small box listed information like cost center/group ... and reporting period.
Right after reporting period, the report header box ends, and there is a space line between it and the cost element data ...
For my customized report painter, I cannot make this space line.
I tried edit > row > insert blank line ... but not successful ... kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,

Hi
In KKO2 go to output tab, here under layout, tick header and then press pencil symbol and in the editor you write your header. I think this will give you desired result.

Errors were found when compiling workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010

Hello there,
I've run into a interesting issue in SharePoint Designer 2010 when publishing a workflow. I now get the below error
Normally when I get this message I simply clear the SharePoint Designer 2010 cache described in this
article, however, in this case the issue still continued. Hence I started the process of trial and error and quickly realized that the Update Item action was the culprit. In this action I am updating approximately 70 columns. Currently, I have two such
actions running in sequence. When I added the third Update Item action to do the same, I started getting this error.
Has anyone else experienced this before? In the workflow I am currently working on I am going to have to using the Update Item action several times and update approximately 70 columns hence I am open to other ideas to do the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Entan Ming,
Thanks for your reply, Hope you are aware that while we create any new workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013. There are two ways (We can say Platforms) to create the new workflow 1. SharePoint
2010 and 2. SharePoint 2013.
If I choose second one I. e SharePoint 2013, and try to create, save and publish workflow it`s working fine. But whenever I select option no. 1 i.e. SharePoint 2010 Platform to create
the workflow, I am able to Create it , save it , but while I try to publish it I got an error:
Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.
When I click on Advance I got message:
Unexpected error on server associating the workflow
My question is that, I am not able to publish any workflow in SharePoint 2010 Platform, using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Before publishing a workflow, I click on ‘Check for errors’ button, there was no any error found.
Thanks & Regards Mr. Bajirao Shinde

How to enable "All Files" in SharePoint Designer 2010

Hi everyone,
How can I enable "All Files" in my sharepoint designer.In home laptop I see it,but in production environment where I work,opening SharePoint Designer I can not see "All Files" button.I am with admin account and everithing is ticked in the central administration
Designer options.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I noticed that you said you can see the ‘All files’ folder in home laptop ,but it is missing when open in the production environment .Did this happen to
all the sites or the site in the specific web application ?Have you extend the web application into an Internet zone?
Actually you should change the SharePoint designer settings in both Central Administration and Site collection settings .Perform an IIS reset after change
the settings and reopen the site in SharePoint designer.
For more information about SharePoint designer settings ,please refer to this site :

How to develop custom add-in for sharepoint designer 2010

Hi ,
Can anybody suggest me how to create a custom add-in for sharepoint designer 2010?
Are there any templates through which i can create a managed add-in using C#? or developing COM add-in (VB6) is the only solution?
Please suggest.
Regards
Sujasree

Hi, Sujasree
      Based on my knowledge, there have not been public samples and walkthroughs for SharePoint Designer 2010 add-in.
       MSDN provides some sample for Word and Excel:
Office Development Samples and Walkthroughs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z63ctsh2.aspx
       Additionally, VS 2010 have not provide such templates yet.
       So would you please share your business requirement with us?
       SPD is a just client to manage and customize SharePoint site, its powerful but difficult to do extension.
       You could also consider builting your custom add-in elsewhere, e.g.: in a customized admin page or webpart, which is easy to achieve.
       Hope this can help!
Best Regards,
Aaron
