Re: Controls inside EditTemplate cause editing to end

I would like to set a breakpoint in Visual Studio to find the undesired
call, but unfortunately the site is on a remote server and according to the
person in charge of the server (who is also the person who taught me
ASP.NET) the server's ability to do debugging remotely has been turned off.
