Visual Studio Properties in Properties Window

I am using Visual Studio 2010. For some reason in source view my properties window does not show the styles anymore (drop down list styles such as border color, style, width, etc.). I have tried going to tools > properties > text editor > Miscelaneous > there is not option to enable properties grid in source view.

I had this before and I have obviously clicked some options in visual studio to hide some of these properties from the properties window.

Can some help?

Thanks

For some reason in source view my properties window does not show the styles anymore (drop down list styles such as border color, style, width, etc.)

isn't these features (border color, style, width, etc) only available and activated in design view?

I am pretty sure I have accessed these in Source view in the past.

i got Visual Studio 2010 premium edition in the office, will try to verify that on next Mon.

You can reset the layout if you did not extensively customize it

Windows > Reset Windows Layout

Open in new window

I think you mean this?

try click View > Toolbars > Formatting

This does not change anything. I know that I have accessed these features from source view in the past. I predominantly use this view for my page design work.

in Design View yes

in Source View no

I know that I have used these properties in source view before. I virtually never use the design view during page and control design, and I have often edited these properties.
