View 1 Replies why Visual Studio is not showing the last project open. Actually it's not showing any that I have had open. If there a clitch.
I started working on an Asp.net MVC website using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 a while ago. Just recently, I managed to get my hands on a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional (through DreamSpark ). I installed the Service Pack, and also the MVC2 files for Visual Studio.
However, now I can't open my project anymore. When I try to open the solution in Visual Studio, it tells me that the project type is not supported. Does this mean that I have to resort to using VWD Express again? Is there perhaps some way that I can edit the project file so that it will load and compile correctly?
Note: I installed MVC2 through the Web Platform Installer, and it says that it installed successfully. However, I notice that MVC references in my unit-test project don't seem to be resolved either - is this perhaps because MVC2 isn't actually installed properly?
downloaded a project from a site,the project was built by vs2005.I only have web developer express 2008, when I load the project,it converted the project and opened it but there is nothing in the project. the project is a MVC project, all folders/files are not in the converted project.can I open the project (built by vs2005) using exppress 2008 for MVC? if yes,how?
View 1 RepliesI have downloaded a project from the internet called the SMS Source example. I wanted to open this project in VS2010, so a conversion wizard has popped up prompting for the conversion. But it has errors in converting.
Error msg:

I have two projects in my solution
1- asp.net web project.
2- wcf serivce project.
3- other common projects between two listed above
Current on the local dev machine I have to run two visual studio instance to run both projects in debug mode. That makes the system run out of resources as these projects share some other project in the soultion which are heavy in files.
Is there a way i can hookup the wcf project on a sinlge visual stodio instance and also be able to debug my asp.net web project. ? I do not want to combine the web and wcf project in to one. Have already considred this option.
we can not add .mdf file to the project in vs2008 and sql server2008 when i am adding .mdf file its displaying an error message so it is not possible to add
View 2 RepliesI recently bought a new computer, so I want to copy the projects into current system which has visual studio. I have a project developed in VWD 2008. I copied the folder into a flash drive and copied it back into the new system.
Knowing the location, how I do import the project into new system?
I 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 4 Repliesi need to make some changes to an asp.net website developed by another person - he is on a windows machine, i am using a mac.i need to make some fairly minor changes to the asp, but obviously i can't without being able to at least run the project, and hopefully open it in some development environment (although i'm not adverse to doing it all with a text editor if that's 'easier').i have installed monodevelop, but can't see how to open the project, let alone run it!maybe it's easier to do this in parallels in a windows environment?

ASP.NET MVC 3 was released on Jan 13, 2011. I was able to install it on my XP SP3 workstation. But, when I opened an MVC C# project, VS 2010 hangs. I have repaired VS 2010 and Framework 4.0 with no luck. The issue was resolved after uninstalling VS 2010 SP1 Beta. Does anyone know if ASP.NET MVC 3 works with VS 2010 SP1 Beta?
View 1 RepliesThe first time I created my model, I thought a manual fix would keep it okay. But everytime I open my project, the model is updated and the Designer.cs is formatted weird. The following picture shows the main problem: I'm just not sure how to permanently fix it other than going through and deleting the "System.Data." and "System.whatever" paths when they are referenced. That is the only way the build/publish succeeds, and it's very time consuming to complete each time.

View 1 RepliesIm newbie to Visual Studio 2010 and asp.net. Have been working on a asp.net webpage project as home for some days now, and want to bring with me all project files to my office to continue work there. Using Visual Studio 2010 at home and at office.What is the easy way to do this in Visual Studio 2010?(Have been using Dreamweaver earlier, and then I just used FTP to upload my files to a webserver and download them at my office. Is this the "solution" in Visual Studio as well?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set up a new project (Web Application, not Web Site) in such a way as the web root is in a different location to the "supporting files" (ie. .sln, .vbproj and My Project folder). I'd like to keep the web site root clear of these files.
It seems to be possible when creating a new "Web Site", as the project files are put in VS's "projects" folder, and only web.config and default.aspx end up in the web root, which is good.
For a Web Application, however, I'm having trouble. It seems to require web.config in the same location as the project file. I've tried this sort of arrangement:
As you can see, when I run it with F5, VS complains and creates a new web.config in the same folder as the .vbproj file. However I can run it in IIS without a problem (the IIS app path is configured for the wwwroot folder). But VS doesn't like it.
Is there an established, proper way of separating project files from the web site content with a Web Application?
I built a small chunk of code based around lambdas in a VB Windows form project earlier which works perfectly, but it gives me "expression expected" warnings (which block compiling... should probably be considered errors, no?) when I copy the code to an ASP.NET project. The only difference I can see is if I make a Windows form project vs a Web project... works in one, doesn't work in another.
Even something basic like this doesn't work:
delegate function stringify(byval x as object) as string
public sub test()
dim f as stringify = Function(x) x.ToString()
dim s as string = f(5)
end sub
Is there a way to get Lambdas to work in ASP.NET? Or is there a setting somewhere yanking my version of VB down a level or two (since they apparently only work in 9.0 or later, but I don't know how to tell which version I'm using)?
Edit: Bah! LinqBridge doesn't seem to work for me. I get the objects (Func(Of TResult)), but no lambda support. I suppose that's the death-knell to my hopes? Or is there something obvious I'm missing to use it (drag to bin, target in references, Imports System.Linq) ?
F5 builds the web project and the opens the web site but the project is not in debug.
This has happened over the last week but I was not aware of making any relavent configuration changes or updates.
I was merging my web.config file and one I downloaded for open source forums, as it told me to. I copied the different lines myself, but now I'm getting three compile errors in my file.
Here are the errors:
1- The 'compliation' start tag on line 47 does not match the end tag of 'system.web'. Line 205, position 4.
2- Tag was not closed. (On line 47, column 4)
3- Expecting end tag </compilation>. (On line 205, column 3)
I'll also post my web.config file below.

I 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.
View 18 RepliesI am not sure if I am using the correct terms. But it is possible to create an asp.net website at least three ways.
1) Where the form and code behind code are in the same file
2) Where the form and code behind code are in separate files, resulting in 2 files for each page (*.aspx, and *.aspx.vb)
3) Where you upon the site up as a project, but insert web pages. This approach results in three files per page (*.aspx, *.aspx.designer.vb, and *.aspx.vb)
My problem is I have a site which is done the third way and I would like to switch it to the second. Is there any automated way to do this, or do I have to do it page by page. What I can do is Open a new site with Create Website, insert a page, and then do some copy and paste.
