Running Visual Studio Project On A Mac With Parallels 6?
Dec 17, 2010
I use Mac as my primary OS, but I often work on ASP.NET MVC projects. I want to use the same file system for them, and not virtual OS image.
The reason for that is because I want to integrate the projects with Mac OS (i.e. upload them to the server via Transmit, a Mac OS FTP app).
But the problem here is that ASP.NET can't really work with projects located on network drives. So when I try to run a site (either with VS 2010's built in web server or with IIS 7), I get
Error Summary HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
And this is a common mistake but no solution that I could find worked for me.
If I create a project on Parallel's virtual C: drive, everything works fine.
P.S. I hear that VMWare has better network drives support, but is it as smooth as Parallels? Parallels 6 runs extremely fast for me, and my Mac Mini doesn't even get warm with VS 2010 and several other Mac apps open.
P.P.S. I also heard about using DropBox and/or Windows Live Mesh. Is clouding a good idea in this case?

I grew up using Windows and switched to OSX as a Computer Science major in College. I've recently started my first real software developer job, and have a ThinkPad and Windows XP for developing ASP.NET / MS SQL applications (Visual Studio 2008). Question:Basically, I am wondering if any developers out there have had real success creating ASP.NET applications on a Mac using a VM? I've been fighting with Parallels 5 all week and finally have Windows 7 and VS 2008 running but my hot-keys are all screwed up. Is it worth the work to keep beating this thing into submission? Should I give up? Should I give Mono a try instead

I'm attempting to run/debug an ASP.NET MVC project under .NET 4.0 using VS2010's Dev Web Server. The server appears to spawn successfully and an instance of IE Explorer opens. However, the browser never seems to find the page. The browser just "spins" showing only a white page...no error message.VS is configured to randomly select a port, although I get the same results when configuring numerous static ports.The ASP.NET project is the start-up project.

When I build me C# web app in VS 2008 I am presented with a white screen. Internet exporer shows that it is 'Done'. This happens no matter which Form of my project I run and will not display even the directory screen.
I recently copied and pasted controls from one form to another and after this it seems to have stopped working. I have tried deleting the newly created controls and then eventually the Form.

I installed VS2010. Then The Azure toolkit. I created a new solution, with one webrole in it. I added 'HelloAzure' to the default.aspx, and then pressed f5 to run it.
It runs! I see my text 'HelloAzure' in IE8. Yeah!
Now, when I close IE8, it seems that VS2010 simply hangs, is frozen. It accepts no input from mouse/keyb. Nothing moves ... you know ... it hangs.
Taskmanager is required to get out if this state.

The problem is I have a laptop that I take to University with me to all my lessons and lectures and it has Visual Studio 2008 installed on it and I work on my assignments in Visual Studio just fine. However when I get home I would like to use my desktop PC which has the exact same copy even from the very same disk of Visual Studio 2008 that is installed on my laptop. The problem is no matter what I do I can't open and work with any projects that I have created on my laptop.
Now if I create the project on my desktop PC it will open just fine on my laptop and I can continue to work with the project but the minute I save and take that project over to my desktop I get the self same error message shown below. [URL] I did do a little research and I found what looked like a solution for some people and that was to change the "SQL Server Instance Name" to SQL2008. As shown below it was set to SQLEXPRESS which is the same as what it says on my laptop copy. [URL] But all this did was present me with a new message as shown below. [URL] Uploaded with [URL] I'm completely at a loss as to what the issue is. Both my laptop and desktop run a fully updated copy of Windows 7 64Bit and have the same copy from the same CD of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

I'm creating a website in Visual Studio 2010. I would like to use Visual Studio for C# debugging, but it also uses Visual Studio as JavaScript debugger. Is there a way to disable script debugging for Asp.Net website projects? I run my projects by hitting F5 in my Visual Studio. (I've noticed that when I attach the debugger manually, I can specify the type of stuff I would like to debug.) Note: I would like to debug, but not with Visual Studio. The developer toolbar is enough.

I have a new development machine running windows 7 professional 64 bit. On loading up a website project Im getting this error
'The Web Application Project 'websitename' is configured to use IIS. To access local IIS websites, you must install IIS components:
IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibilty
ASP.net
Windows Authentication
In addition you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account
As far as Im aware, I am an administrator of my own pc and I have the .net framework installed.

I recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
<div class='<asp:Literal ID="CssClassLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>'>
It doesn't see this literal when it does the conversion... Is the above valid code or should I implement that functionality another way?

I have a web app that has an app_offline.htm file, this file is stored in source control along with everything else.
The problem I have is that each time I (or any other developer) do a get latest on the source I get the app_offline.htm file and then when I try to run the app all I see is the app_offline rather than the actual web site.
Is there way that I can stop this from happening?

I am taking a couple C# classes at school and I finally got VS set up on my home computer. I am having one issue that I'm not sure where to go looking.
At school, the program is installed on XP Pro.
At school, I can read, output, and create files that are saved on my hard drive. I know any code I have used is correct because I can open up the files my code creates with other applications without issue.
At home, I have the program installed on Win 7. (I just upgraded my home comp so I'm still figuring out this new platform honestly.)
At home, everything runs, etc, but it will not create files. I can see the drives working, but nothing is written. I have tried several drives - all failing.
I'm assuming this is a flag or an environment setting somewhere on my installation but I have no idea where.

here's my issue. I'm trying to run service based applications from Visual Studio. My previous workstation died, and I got a replacement, and I can no longer run the service based apps from Visual Studio, so obviously there's something that I neglected to reload. The specific error I'm getting is:
Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be intstalled ( using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool, or the NET START command.Going through debugger, I eventually get the error "Service <appname> was not found on computer .."The DOS environment does not seem recognize the installutil.exe command.

Is there any way to debug, or just simply run an ASP.Net page or project without using Local Host? F5 or Ctrl F5 sometimes load the page fairly fast and sometimes it just does not happen. (At least not within my span of patience.) It seems that when it stalls, if I close the browser or click Stop Debugging, and then try again, it happens! But it is never consistent and usually frustrating.

i have 2 problems with running&debugging my web projects using visual studio 2008 pro :
1.when choosing to run without debugging , IE is being opened (which is ok , since i chose it to be the default one to be opened via VS ) , and yet when i close IE , it is being opened once again .
2.when choosing to debug , visual studio crashes and IE is being frozen (can only be killed via task manager) ,even when i don't have the "debugger;" string in the javascript code.
i've tried to re-install VS , and also uninstall it and then re-install it, but it didn't help. i have windows xp sp3 home edition 32bit. what should i do? EDIT:about #1 , it seems that from some reason, VS didn't install "Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component" , and this is also why i had another problem of not being able to use the design/split mode . after installing this component, it seems that IE doesn't run twice anymore. however, i still have crashes of VS when trying to debug (problem #2) ,even thogh script debugging is enabled on IE. the weird thing is that on maxthon2 , which uses IE engine, debugging works just fine.
