I'm playing around and created a new Web Form project and trying to make way with the default template. I've created the pages I need but trying to leverage the existing membership pages and ASPNETDB. I'm having trouble grasping how the asp pages are connecting to the database(and thus make my own changes). I cannot see any SQL syntax in the aspx pages or the code behind? I can tell the project is making use of the stored procedures but where is the actual connection configured or the command that is being run, for example when the "create" button is pressed on the CreateUserWizard control. Looking at the createUserWizrd I cannot see any adapters it might be using?
Perhaps my mindset is trying to apply, tableadapter and datasets way of working to asp controls. All the information and tutorials I'm looking at, seem to bypass the connection to the database and somehow there controls are 'taking care' of the I/O to the database. So if I wanted to add an additional field to the createwizard process, what do I need to do? Alter the db and the stored procedure, then?
So I've created a default Visual Studio project for a webservice and I invoked the HelloWorld method. What I get is indeed a "Hello World" string, but with some additional "crap" attached:
I tried using the the New ASP.NET Default Web Template in Visual Studio 2010 but one issue I'm encountering is with the CSS selected menu item and read apost which stated that...
"This screenshot demonstrates some of the styling options provided by the CSS, including the style for the selected About menu item"...In the screenshot the "About Us" menu item is highlighted but the page's content is the "Home" page content, not "About Us" page. My problem is...I can't get the selected item to be highlighted as in the screenshot even with fresh site using the built in template.
I use the FormView control quite a bit, but I wish I had more control over the default templates.
When I drag a FormView from the toolbox onto my page and point it to a DataSource control it prepopulates the ItemTemplate, EditItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplates, but it doesn't do it very well.
For example, the InsertItemTemplate looks like this by default:
I know I can use a DetailsView to get a table rendered out, but I end up modifying the form so much that I prefer to use the FormView. It's just that I would like Visual Studio to start me out a bit closer to where I want to end up.
I would imagine that there is a T4 template somewhere in the guts of VS that I might be able to modify to get this done.
Where can I find the default template used by EditorForModel? I'd like to use it as a starting point for customization. All I could find about it wasthis post from last year, but something must have changed since that was written because the Object.ascx template given doesn't work with client side validation.
In a controller action function, we can add a create/edit/list/details view by right clicking. The content of aspx/ascx will be generated according to selected model.
my question is how to change the template in order to generate my customized create/edit/list/details view.
Is there any predefined function which could beauty this code? Something like: ValueOrDefault(Model.Image.standard,Url.Content("~/Content/NoImage.jpg"))
I'm creating a custom templated composite control. If there is no 'ItemTemplate' specified in the mark-up, how do I create a default template programmatically?
I want to change the default formview generated template. I don't mean change the itemtemple on each page, I mean what VS generates when ever you databind the formview. I want to change it so it uses <label...>xxx</label> instead of xxx <asp....
From what I can tell the listview doesn't have a header template. I'd like to be able to list and line up the column names with the data on my list view, but there doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to do this. If I put it in a table in the item template, it lines up like I want it, but it of course repeats which is what I don't want.
I have a named instance of sql 2008 developer edition installed. I have changed the Server name but the query string will still not work. I want to be able to use the default db "aspnetdb.mdf". I use Windows authentication to connect. How can i change the connection string to get this to work?
Today in one of the computer i installed visual studio 2010 professional edition, and successfully installed. But in my new project template "Asp.net MVC 2 website" is missing. Also I'm not able to open an already created MVC 2 project also. I'm also having MVC 2 installed with VS 2008 Sp1 in the same machine and is working fine. I uninstalled and installed again, the same is happening.
Has anyone deployed a website using the login database in the visual studio 2010 asp website template? I was wondering if I could look at someone's example to see how the integrated this into their website.
Google Chrome is my default browser. however when i run VS 2010 it opens the page in Chrome. I want to force VS 2010 to open it in IE. how it can be done without resetting IE as my default browser ?
i havent uninstalled Visual studio 2010 .... for some requirements i had to repair my visual studio 2010 installation... now after repairing or reinstalling (not uninstalling and then installing, i reinstalled from the visual studio installation options) the visual studio 2010 i noticed that the asp.net Mvc template has vanished ... i tried to repair/ reinstall again but somehow it doesnt come up ... the template is not reflected into the visual studio new projects menu... as a result i am not able to load any of the mvc projects either ....
is there any possible way apart from uninstalling /repairing or reinstalling the visual studio i can get back my template again ? into my visual studio.... like wise somewhat kinda manual customization or like that ?
I have installed SQL Server 2008 Express Advance Services Edition on server.
I have copied the standard asp.net VS 2O10 from simplest template (the one with login link and 2 tabs home and about) under the root directory of the server. The website works until I try to login then I get:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server
I cannot find a single article that just explains step by step how to deploy this simple example used by Microsoft or can I ? Then can you point me to this tutorial thanks.
I defined a default error page in the ASP.Net Web Site Administration tool. The page exists in root directory. I also confirmed that it pointed to my frmErrorPage.aspx by looking in my Web.config file
Running my site locally from within visual studio, I tried to surf to a non existent page. This threw an error as it is suppose to, but did not pull up my custom error page. I get
Code: Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. ...
I'm trying to implement a custom filter template for all text based searches and running into problems constructing the query. I've been following the instructions posted on this blog but not sure how change the GetQueryable method to perform a WHERE columnAttribute LIKE '%something%'query. In the example on the blog the expression is an equality which works if the text I enter exactly matches the text in the database column.
At the moment I'm using the new QueryExtender feature along with the SearchExpression control but this requires creating several custom pages for all the tables I need text search functionality for. I would like to DRY this up by creating the custom filter template.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 RTM and MS Sql Server 2008 R2 EXPRESS with Advanced Services.I create a new simple asp.net web site. When I click on asp.net configuration, it opens as expected.When I click on the Security Tab, I get the message, Unable to connect to SQL Server database.It will not create the default aspnetdb.mdf file.I can create a connection to the sql server in VS from the database explorer.I can connect to the sql server with sqlcmd as a trusted connection.I have even managed to verify the default instance of .SQLEXPRESS with named pipesusing the sc command and the MSSQL$instance name.I have verified that my machine dot config file for the 2.0 .net contains the proper info (without altering it).I've spent many nights trying to figure this one out.VS2008 and MS SQL Server EXPRESS 2008 worked.I noticed that the default asp.net web site uses a connection other than the default localsqlserverand the template automatically adds a login in the ui with role, membership & profile in the web config.
Im having an issue when I create a new ASP.NET Web Application within Visual Studio 2010, this creates a web.config configured to use SQLEXPRESS. The default web.config that VisualStudio generates for New Web Application Projects still points to the SQLServerExpress Database which I had previously removed! The only instance that I have now is SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer. The web.config that is created along with other files for the for New Web Application Projects template:
[Code]....
The question is how can I change this web.config thats created with the ASP.NET Web Project template automatically from Visual Studio 2010? I can go in and modify the web.config by hand obviously. It doesnt make sense to have the web.config automatically created this way whereby the connectionstrings point to SQLServer Express that does not exist. I did in stall Visual Studio 2010 which included SQLServerExpress, but that I later removed. Now is VisualStudio always going to create web.config's pointing to SQLServer Express?
