How To Use This Dialog

The section labeled Sorting sets the display order of elements in the Design View.

In the web service Design View, this property sets the display order of:

the methods/callbacks in the client interface
the order of the referenced controls
the order of the methods/callbacks within a referenced control

The section labeled Automatic Interface Updates sets the behavior of the IDE when a control implementation file is changed. There are three possible settings:

Always prompt first: the IDE will prompt the user if the interface file should be changed to be consistent with the implementation file.
Update interface automatically: the IDE will change the interface file without prompting the user.
Do not update interface: the IDE will neither change the interface file nor prompt the user.
