View 6 RepliesWeird Sunday morning question: I routinely drag files into my projects from Windows Explorer. But I just created a new project and I get the slashed circle every time I try to drag in a file from Windows Explorer. I closed the project and opened another one just to confirm that I wasn't having a foggy Sunday morning problem but I _am_ able to drag files into the this other project. Trying to drag the same file into my new project won't work. What's up with this?!
View 4 RepliesI am stumped by a serious issue in Vs 2008.
I created a Blank solution called HelloWorld.Then I added a new Class Library project by the name of HelloWorldService.After creation of the
Class Library project the Solution name disappeared from Solution Explorer.
As a result of which I can now only add new items into the Class Library project but cannot add new item to the solution.
This appears to be a pretty old problem as I found it in another link on the internet.

It seems to be a bug.Has MS released a patch or a fix for this.
I am trying to set up a solution - projects folder structure. I am trying to keep CSS, master pages, Themes, Images and login page as a common web application project and reference them when needed in any other web site or web application in the same solution. Is it possible to do it? If so, is it a best practice? If not, what is the best practice to do this?

View 5 RepliesI had something happen with my pc and had to do a system restore. This has caused some of the files in my project to be deleted. Is there a way to recover these files?
Is there anything I can do to prevent files from being deleted in the future if I ever have to do a restore again?
Is there a way to change the colors (or perhaps add an overlay) to the files in Solution Explorer?It would be great to be able to 'tag' the files with different colors so that you can see for example what status the different files have.
View 2 RepliesI used the ASP.net Web Site Administration tool to create a database with two users and two roles. The database created successfully and is showing up in Solution Explorer in the App_Data folder of my project, as expected. The problem is, that when I click on the database I get an error message saying that "SQL Server database files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Server 2008 Express to be installed and running on the local computer." I, in fact, have 3 versions of SQL Server running on my computer. SQL Server Express (default instance), SQL Server Express (named instance for Outlook 2010 Business Contact Manager), and SQL Server 2008 R2 (Developer Edition). If I create a new connection in Server Explorer and then attach the database file, it attaches fine. It's only in Solution Explorer that it somehow is not connecting.
View 1 RepliesI have two web forms inside the same project folder that will be very similar when completed. When I copy a web form and paste it in the project folder by its new name I can see the .aspx file, the aspx.cs and aspx.designer.cs all by the new name. Appears to work perfect...........Why don't these show up when I view the Solution Folder? I was hoping to copy one, make changes and rename the second one saving time. Appears to not be tied into the Project.

I am using VWD 2010 Express, usually with several site pages open in tabs. For some reason, when I move from one tab to another, the newly active page is not highlighted in the Solution Explorer pane. Is there some setting that is causing this? I often have two similar pages open, referring to the code on one as I work on the other, and not having the Solution Explorere correctly highlighting the active page make it really easy to be working on the wrong page.
View 2 RepliesIn Visual Studio 2008 while debugging an ASP.Net website I set a breakpoint in the codebehind page. I refresh the page or submit to call the method, the breakpoint is hit. Then I delete the breakpoint and continue execution. I make a change to the codebehind page and save it. I submit or refresh again and the deleted breakpoint is back! It is hit again, and I delete it again. I have tried delete, disable, nothing works it keeps coming back if I make a change to the page. It is extremely annoying and unproductive. The only way I have found to make the breakpoint permanently go away is to use the Debug menu Delete all breakpoints item, which is obviously less than ideal. I have been able to reproduce this on other developers machines also. What is going on here? Is this by design? Is it a bug in VS? How do I keep these zombie breakpoints from resurrecting?
View 4 RepliesIn my company app we have organized it something like the following:
1. Solution (Transcripts)
Solution Folder - Lib
Solution Folder - Debug
Solution Folder - Release
Class Library Project
Web Project
My Question:
1. All my references from Web Project are referencing to the DLL's in the Lib folder under Solution (Transcripts). Why can't we refere to DLL's directly under Web Project why the need of creating a new solution folder "Lib"?
2. When we publish the Web Project. Does that mean that all the DLL's under Lib solution folder also gets published?

I am running into a odd problem with Visual studio 2008.

Why Visual studio 2008 is automatically deleting the cookies on closing of Broswer?
I have a site that was created with VWD2005. I tried to open the solution with VS 2008. This prompted me to convert it which I did. Now when I look at the project in the Solution Explorer in VS 2008, I see all of the files but they are now with in a folder named "2" that's within a folder named "back up". I also see another folder with in the solution that's named _UpgradeReport_Files.
The files for my project that are with in the folder "2" that is with in the folder "back up" are actually in the back up folder for my project in the Visual Studio 2005 folder with in My Documents. I assume this is because I chose the "create back" up option when doing the conversion. I don't understand why these files and this project aren't in the project directory with in the VS2008 folder with in My Documents.
I want all of my files for this project to be in the projects folder with in the Visual Studio 2008 folder in My documents, the same as if I had created this project in Visual Studio 2008 originally. But the conversion doesn't seem to have done this. Instead I seem to be using a solution/project that references the original files with in the back up folder as mentioned above.
Can I just create a new project in VS 2008 and paste these files into it? Will this work? I'm not sure if it will because the original one was created in VWD 2005 which I think uses the .net framework 2.0. My Visual Studio 2008 uses version 3.5 Sp1 of the .NET framework.
So I would like my solution to save in the same folder as the rest of my files. I am a win forms developer so web is new to me.
1) Is there any reason why I shouldn't do that for web.
2) Second how do I do that. I know that I can change the solution's saving location by changing ToolsOptionProjects & SolutionsProject's Location. However, I just want it to use the location of the new website I create and not that specification.
I can't get my .aspx page to recognize control events in it's codebehind.

which is fine, but I don't want to use inline script.

I have a solution that I pasted some files into. The files that were pasted into it won't show up in the solution explorer. These files are for a tutorial from MSDN. The files were pasted into the folder that contains the solution using the file system.I then refreshed the solution explorer to include the files. I've done this before with out issue. For some reason it won't work this time. When I did this before I pasted the files into the folder that holds the solution, refreshed the solution explorer and then had to include the files into the project and all was good.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create a .NET solution and add class libraries to it. First - in VS2008 I go to File > New > Project > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solution. Then - after VS2008 creates the blank solution I right click on the solution and select Add > New Project > Visual C# > Class Library. However, when I add the Class Library to the solution, the solution icon disappears from Solution Explorer (although the solution name is still in the VS2008 title bar). Why does the solution icon disappear
from the Solution Explorer when I attempt to do this?
I am really worried about this. I recently got hold on VS 2010. I had been working on a control when my VS 2010 crashed upon me. I terminated all of the applications that might be slowing down VS. To my horror when I restarted VS I had lost all of the coding and classes written within that control's code behind file which was SearchFilter.ascx.cs. IT shows the size of this file as 0KB. There nothing in it now. Does any one out there know how can I recover my file, it had almost over 700 lines of code. I would be really very grateful to you people out there.
