Hey, can anybody explain why Microsoft has omitted design view in SPD 2013. It’s causing a lot of problem while customizing DVWP. Any alternatives for it?
Thanks Robin. This workaround really works. But i kinda developed liking for SPD 2013. Still the solution works. 🙂
Laura Rogers (wonderlaura) had an excellent workaround for this using SPD2010. Â see her blog post: Â http://www.wonderlaura.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=187Â Â
In reading the comments on her posting it looks like that ability is gone in SP Online.  She does mention  Lightning Tools’ Data Viewer Web Part:  http://lightningtools.com/products/data-viewer-web-part/
I’ve previewed this webpart and it looks promising. Â Maybe it will help?
Hi Shubhdeep,
Please see my post http://sharepoint-community.net/profiles/blogs/sharepoint-2013-sharepoint-designer-link-is-missing-from-site
It contains two alternatives for this big issue.
