is it possible to do manual formatting of the controls (length, placement, width etc..) on the web form..?
right now when we start VS 2008 and if we place any control then it automatically sets the left side and top of that control as per the previous control.. is there any way to make it work link VS 2003 which is manual and free to work..
I have a web form that has a few multi-line text box controls which the user will enter lots of information in paragraphs. How can I persist their line breaks and tabs into SQL 2005 so that when the information is retrieved on a different page; the line breaks and formatting is preserved?
View 6 RepliesI have a project that I developed in VS2005 and that has been put into VSS. I am trying to "get" it on a new machine and convert it to VS2008 because that is what is installed on the new machine. I am having problems with it that I think originate in its working folder. So my basic question is, when you try to work with a solution that's in VSS should you maintain the same folder structure that it had when it was originally checked in? I'm not particularly happy with its original structure because it goes on and on seven levels deep, and I wanted to just cut it down to C:ProjectsResNew, but if that's what it takes to get it to work, I'll do it.
View 10 RepliesWe invested in some nice widescreen monitors at work so we all have nice 1920x1200 resolution and a wide visual studio window when it is maximized. The problem is when we hit ctrl-k-d to autoformat the aspx code, it seems to default to a line length for a 4:3 monitor. Is there a way to overwrite this setting?
View 1 RepliesI have an annoying problem with Visual Studio 2008.
When I run the "format code" command ("control+k, control+d") -- it will insert a carriage return. How do I get it to stop doing this?
For example:
<label for="shipCompanyName">Company Name:</label>
undesirably becomes
<label for="shipCompanyName">
Company Name:<label />
I used SQL SERVER 2008 R2 express as my web development database and I set its compatibility level to 2005. Unfortunately this database cannot be be attached to SQL server 2005. Are there any other options?
View 3 Repliesi have a store procedure that load data in a table of SQL SERVER 2008 from an excel file.the issue is, that the excel file have a column of DATE type, and i want that the system interprets the format in it, no matter what comes in it.dd/MM/yyyy mm/dd/yyyyi have an argue about this with my parnerts, cause i think is imposible, if you don't have a format before the process runs.
View 3 RepliesI have a Visual Studio solution created in 2005 and I want to start working with it in 2008. I opened it and it was run through the wizard. My first error is a message that says: The Web Applicatin Project is configured to use IIS. You must install the following IIS components: IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility.So, I googled that and found this:IIS 7.0 is included with Windows Vista. However, when you first install Windows Vista, by default IIS 7.0 is not enabled. This topic describes how to enable IIS and configure it so that in Visual Studio you can create local IIS ASP.NET Web sites. This enables you to use a local copy of IIS to run and debug the Web site instead of using the ASP.NET Development Server.The bold is mine, because I want to know why I can't just use the ASP.NET Development Server? I always have in the past. Oh, and I'm not running Vista, I'm running Windows 7, but I don't think that matters.

I have two applicaitons. One is web service written in VS2008 and the other one is Windows CE 5.0 application written in VS2005.
This CE application will use web service to talk to the database. After I build and compile the web service successfully, I publish one copy to my localhost and this CE application point to my localhost and consume the web service.
I'm finding a way to debug the web service. I want to step into web service every time CE application make a connection with web service (like we put a breakpoint in windows application go step by step)
However, When I run the web service, it starts with some virtual port. And so my Ce application call didn't come to this running Web service (run by VS2008).

1) TargetDataSourceFolder=DataSources
2)TargetReportFolder= reports
3)TargetServerURL=http://localhost/reportserver and deployed it.
When I view it in the browser through
http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
I get my folder called reports, and when I click on it I can see two reports, it works till this stage.
I want to use the same report in Visual studio 2008 so I have done the following in VS 2008

View 1 RepliesI need to store passwords provided by the user. Yes, passwords. I could not use Hashes because I need to supply the password to another external service for authentication, and therefore I need to have the password.
What is the best and most secure way to store the passwords? As the external data provides private data it is of course very important that the password in my MS SQL DB is stored as safe as possible.
I just completed converting my vs 2005 web app to Vs 2008. Question:After I make changes to the app and before I move the changes out to our web server, what must I consider for the web server?1) During conversion I allowed the project to convert from 2.0 framework to 3.5. On the web server, I assume it needs to be upgraded to 3.5 as well. Can I upgrade directly from a site or would you recommend I install VS 2008 on the web server as well (which comes with 3.5)? 2) Do I need to change the application name or virtual name on the web server or can I keep it the same?
View 3 RepliesI have my entire database for current application in sql express 2005.
I wish to change my db to SQL Server 2008 after i read online that SQL Express is not supported by godaddy.
What steps should I take in order to do so? Do I manually have to create tables in the sql server 2008 database with the same properties as in SQL Express 2005.
I do not have much data in the tables so that is not an issue.
Upgraded from SQL Server 2005 to 2008, now when my app tries to execute If Membership.GetUser() Is Nothing Then it says A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified). Confused as to whether this is a problem connecting to ASPNETDB.MDF or my DB in general so I went into Server Explorer and created a connection to my DB, tested successfully, then grabbed the connection string. It matches what's in my web.config so I think the problem is ASPNETDB.MDF only works with SQL Server 2005 Express. If this is true, what do I need to do to use this app with SQL 2008? Should I just delete ASPNETDB.MDF?
