I just upgraded to VWD 2010 Express and have a couple of questions:
1. How do you disable "code-behind" when creating a new project? It seems that "code-behind" is set by default. My previous projects written with VWD2008 Express use the opposite ie. the "code inside the page" approach. What options should I change?
2. When using the non "code-behind" model, the drop-down showing all page controls and their associated events is missing in my configuration. In VWDD2008, this list sits on the top of the editor. Any idea how I can restore the control list?
I've wrote the comprehensive post within my blog: [URL] In brief words everything is simple:
1. I've downloaded free Visual Studio C# 2010 Express and Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express 2. I've successfully installed these versions. 3. I've tried registration online - and got the appropriate keys which I've used for registration.
Finally all the keys I've got are not valid for the system - and after 30 days evaluation (for free version?) period all these products are not running anymore because all the keys I am providing from online registration are invalid.
Is it possible to configure and use IIS Express with Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express? If yes, Please guide me how to configure it?I have installed IIS express without Web Matrix using iisexpress_x86_en-US.msi I am able to run IIS express from command prompt but failed to configure my web site/application with IIS express. I want to configure my web site to launchun on IIS express when i press F5 :)
I'm using visual studio 2010 professional, I dont what had happened but i lost my settings suddenly and the VS editor is generating a HYPHEN (-) everytime when i press SPACE BAR key..
I've tried restoring the settings, changing the settings from OPTIONS without any luck.
I uninstalled VWD 2010 Express Beta2. Then installed latest Release(April 12th) via Web Platform Installer .oh yes after installing XP Service Pack 3.
It all installed successfully and when I start the VWD 2010 express image comes up ....there is this fine text that says....
"For Evaluation Purpose Only"
"Use of this software should be limited to evaluation purpose only"
Being confused with that message I looked at Help->About VWD 2010 Express and right on top it says:
"29 days remaining"
So what's happening ? Did I install some wrong product... I don't think so...I used Web Platform Installer and yes it is "Visual Web Developer 2010 Express" and not a Professional Trial software.
I'm totally new to ASP.NET ( as a VC++ 6.0 engineer ), I have just downloaded the express edition of 2010 web developer and cannot find for the life of me the correct project template to create an ASP.NET webservice.. in 2008 it appears there is an option for this .. however I cannot find it in 2010..
just a quick question, are there a lot of developers using the express edition to make web sites, or is it limited to what you can do, and I would be better getting the full edition visual studio 2010. I have been using dreamweaver, but I wanted to try my hand at asp.net, thx for any info you can offer.
I have a form that I'm working on in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I have a dropdown list to choose a data from the database. I want to use the chosen list item to populate a GridView object. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do.I have a data connection which uses a fixed SQL statement to populate the dropdown list and that works fine. I can select an item on the list and retrieve the correct information for the next query (namely an ID value for the next SQL statement).I have the data connection with another SQL statement to populate the gridview and that works fine. The gridview is currently just showing the entire dataset (it doesn't use the item that was selected in the dropdown list.Now I want to change the gridview's data connection to use the selected item in the dropdown list as a parameter to modify the SQL statementWhen I look at the properties of the data connection for the gridview data, I can bring up the Query properties and see the select statement. I also see the properties panel. I can add a property Name (Mine is "ID"). I then chose "Control" in Parameter Source and selected the ControlID for the dropdown list that has the ID information that I want to use for the parameter. I went into the advanced properties and modified some of the information because the ControlID is a Text field and the Database Column is a BigInt.My select statement looks like this:
[Code]....
What I don't know is how to get the parameter into the select statement.I've tried:
I use Firefox to browse the web, but I'd like Force Visual Web Developer 2010 Express to exclusively use Internet Explorer when I run my web apps (by pressing F5). is there a way to set this?
My existing system has Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. But Microsoft web installer for Webmatrix has made Wematrix Launch ribbon menu pointing to Visual Studio 2008. How could I make Webmatrix point to Visual Web Express 2010. To make use of IntelliSense and the debugger, I have to manually launch Visual Web Developer 2010 Express.
This is just a small problem with some form of workaround im sure.I'm ready to publish my ASP.NET website, however, there is no 'Publish' option when I right click the project in solution explorer or even a Build Tab on the menu. I'm using Visual Web Developer 2010 and having done some research they all refer to this option in the Tab menu when I don't even have the Build tab myself.I did also see something to Download but I accidently closed the tab in a hurry - WebPI is it? Will this work?
The reason I want to 'Publish' ideally via MS VWD 2010 Express is that in previous versions (VS 08) when it 'Publishes' is combines the .cs/vb files with their respective pages rather than upload them as seperate files through FTP.I know some changes need to be done with the web.config file so If there is any info on that and other essential info I need to know please help me out (links references wud do! :P)
I started working on a website using 2010 Express. However, the hosting company that I am using hasn't fully implemented .NET 4.0. I'm wondering if there is a way that I can save my website for compatability with 2008 express. Then I can finish and publis using 2008 Express.
I am trying to add a database using VS2010, I have VS2010 Professional and SQL server 2008 developer and sql server 2008 express and it seems impossible for me to create a database am being sent to the linkid=125883 to download an express edition even though i have it installed.
Can Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express use only 30 days? After I click Help ->About Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express menu, I find "Only 27 days remaining"!
I just decided to add 2010 express onto my work computer to run along side 3.5. The install was fine but when you go to click "Obtain a registration key online" after opening visual studio it takes you to a microsoft page that errors out before loading.
If you run IIS Express from the command line, anything you write Console.Out in your web app is displayed in the command line output. This is very handy for trouble shooting LINQ to SQL translation issues if you set DataContext.Log = Console.Out. However, if you check "Use IIS Express" in the web project properties in VS 2010 SP1 you never see the command line.
When I open files, particularly files with many links and/or images, vwd get stalled every few seconds as, according to the status bar, it's "getting file xxx from the web".
What is the different between the vs 2010 Web Developer Express and the full version of 2010?With the vs 2010 Web Developer Express will I be able to use all types of databases (MSSQL, MySQL, Access, ect) and enitity frame work?
I've been working on a website using Visual Studio 2008 that uses URL Rewriting. Being that the integrated web server in VS2008 does not support extension mapping, I'm using IIS in Windows XP for my testing. The problem I'm at now is that I'm considering hosting the site under IIS7. Using Integrated Pipeline mode under IIS7 has a big advantage in that I can force all file extensions (and directory requests) through the rewrite engine with a setting in the web.config file instead of having to configure a custom ISAPI handler in IIS. My problem is in testing this before trying to deploy.
Does anyone know if the integrated web server in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express supports integrated pipeline mode? Specifically, if I add the "runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests" attribute to the "modules" section under "system.webServer" in "Web.Config", will all requests get piped through the asp.net engine?
