I successfully installed VWD2010 but I get multiple errors when running projects (MVC) created under Asp.net 3.5.
How can I run projects (MVC) created in ASP.NET 3.5 under VWD2010 that installed 4.0?
I installed VS2010 and proceded to convert my projects but the wizard failed. Insted I decided to recreate the whole solution with 5 projects from scratch, except that my Ajax 4.0 controls do not work. The projects are "Class" type and the final product is complied DLL that I'll be using some place else.
I am referencing the latest AjaxControlToolKit and in one of my projects where I'm building tab panel controls on the fly, where I'm adding "Controls" to the TP such as tpOverdue.Controls.Add(linkButton), the "Controls" throws an error:
'AjaxControlToolkit.TabPanel' does not contain a definition for 'Controls' and no extension method 'Controls' accepting a first argument of type 'AjaxControlToolkit.TabPanel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Another error I get in a separate project (same solution) where I build the scriptmanager on the fly like this: ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(PeopleSearch), "UpdatePanelFixup", "_spOriginalFormAction = document.forms[0].action; _spSuppressFormOnSubmitWrapper=true;", true); - The error is: "The name 'ScriptManager' does not exist in the current context".
Interestingly, this solutiom resides on a 2003 server (developping on test server). I have similar solution on Vista using VS2010 where the difference is that instead of using class projects in my solution I use Web User Controls in my web solution and all works like a charm. I don't know if this is enough info for you guys to offer feedback, so if neccessary, I can post some code. Just let me know.
I just moved to a new PC and installed VS 2010. I copied all of my websites over from the old machine and now when I open the old websites on the new machine, they do not show up in my recent projects list on the start page. New websites that I make do show up there but the old ones do not. This is very inconvenient. Is there a way to make old projects that I open show up in the list?
This brings up another question. Is there a way to make a shortcut that will open VS2010 up with a website already loaded so that I don't have to go through the file open dialog every time?
I've seen some teams that start breaking into multiple projects from the beginning and others build behemoth single projects. The large project teams say that one massive project is easier to maintain than multiple smaller projects.
View 4 RepliesI need to create a sample project (for educational purposes) and I'm faced with the choice between Web Site Projects or Web Application Projects. This feels similar to the choice between C# and VB. My question isn't about the differences between these 2 choices, but rather which is more popular (relevant, recognizable) to the general ASP.NET community.Has anyone seen any statistics in terms of adoption/usage of these 2 different project types? What project type should I use to reach the widest audience?Update: I created a poll on this subject - http://poll.fm/2e6cy
View 4 RepliesI have a multi-tiered application. I would like to publish the class libraries to UI developers to let them add to their web or windows projects to add all the functionality.
I would like to restrict access so only a certain project can be referenced. The reason is so that they do not refer to the data access layer directly and start making calls that would bypass the business logic built into the business tier.
UI->>Business Logic->>Data Access
So in other words, BL and DA are deployed as compiled assemblies. BL references DA. UI will reference BL, but I would like to strictly prevent any other project from referencing DA directly.
I'm going to deploy an ASP.NET MVC project on IIS (6.0 & 7.5) but don't now is it necessary to install anything on IIS?
View 2 RepliesJust upgraded to VWD2010. I created a skin file and put it in App_Themes. I created a skin id for a couple of controls: gridview, dropdown etc. Normally in the properties you can go to skinid and a drop down with the skin id shows up and you can select it. Thats not happening. Also, if I put my skinid in for the skinid property of the component its not displaying the formating at all. For example: Here is what I have for a gridview in my skin file named /App_Themes/Default/Default.skin

Just getting started
I upgrade to VWD2010, installed the Ajax ToolKit.
All of the Ajax videos indicate in VWD2010, I'll get a template called AJAX Enabled Web site. I don't have this template in my VWD2010. Is there a way to get the AJAX Enabled Web Site Template in VWD2010?
I create a new ASP.NET MVC 2 project with Visual Web Developer 2010 a while back. After some testing, I realized that the built-in development server is too slow for proper testing, so I decided to switch to IIS. I created a new IIS website that points to my project on disk, and configured it to use the .NET 4 application pool. Many problems arose from this:
If I open the solution file in VWD, then clean the project, IIS gives me a "Could not load type: ***" where *** is my global.asax class name.If I open the IIS website in VWD and then try to build the project, I get the same error.If I open the solution file in VWD, build the project, then open the IIS website in VWD, and then build, the build is successful. However, whenever I make a change in the code and then build again, my change is simply ignored (it seems to only be using the assembly that was compiled when I built it as a solution). When I open the IIS website in VWD, and start debugging, the debugger does not catch requests to the IIS website.My guess is that when I open the IIS website in VWD, it outputs the built assemblies to a directory that IIS is not aware of. Is there a way I can configure it to output everything to the bin directory instead? Or am I doing something wrong?
How easy is it to publish your project using Visual Web Developer 2010? Right now, the ease of use using Database Publishing Wizard makes my publishing breezely smooth. [:)]

View 2 RepliesWhen I try to connect to my SQL Server 2005 from within the Visual Web Developer 2010 Database Explorer, I get the "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later" message.If I open up my web project from within VWD 2008, it still works fine.For reference, my SQL 2005 machine is a separate machine than one I installed VWD 2010 on. I did install the ASP.NET 4 framework on the SQL 2005 machine (but not any of the extra tools).

Anyone running into this issue with same setup as mine?
I have not been able to open css files in VWD, I must have sone something I don't know. I can open them in wordpad, and WebDevelopment Server still displays properly so the file is not currupt. Is there a setting I messed up in web.config or somewhere else?

I have this big project running VWD2010 and it eats a lot of resources about 340mb+. This does not happen before, last time I check this one project runs less than 150mb. Sometimes, I even run two instances of VWD2010, one project has lesser files about 130mb and combining the two, about less than 340mb. But on a single project that doesn't run more than 300mb before, is this normal? Is VWD2010 updates something?
I only use Task Manager to check the memory consumption.
From this link [URL] I get this error when installing Visual Web Developer 2010 Express.
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908."

My project works under VWD2010 but when I click the Configuration tools at Solution Explorer, nothing happens unlike under VWD2008.
The configuration developement port is running and accessing it only gets me this error, [:(]

View 3 RepliesI have been using LINQ to SQL for quite a while (about two years). Every thing was fine until now. As usual, I created LINQ to SQL classes and built the project, then created an aspx page. However, I cannot see the DataClassesDataContext in the code behind file. It is not listed in the intellisense list.
View 5 RepliesFor some reason I have noticed that at run time when looking at my source of my ASP.NET page there are tags being created.
<input type="hidden" name="_VIEWSTATE" id="_viewstate" value="..lots of text.." />
and
<input type="hidden" name="_EVENTVALIDATION" id="_EVENTVALIDATION" value="..lots of text.." />
Why is this and what is it for?
How can I make sure that these are not created?
onething is not clear to me that in asp.net 1.1 there was asp.net project type but from 2.0 there is no asp.net project type option rather
there is option called website. in website type project no solution is created and no link is created with IIS.
why microsoft design in this way from 2.0. i think there must be soldin reason & advantage behind it.
