Visual Studio :: Cannot Open File And No Entry Sign
Jun 8, 2010
I can't open one of my .cpp file ( a red sign, sort of no parking) and also some of my .cpp files have no entry signs (red circle colour and white dash in the middle). What actually happen? What should I do to make them back to normal?
In an ASP.NET web application using C#, when we double click on design it will go to code behind page (cs file), but problem here is, when we double click on design its going to script of source file. Why it is happening?
Just wondering if it is possible to set it so that when you have too many files open in Visual Studio, rather than display the little down arrow icon, it drops the tabs down onto another line?
I know both these software are old and that I can update to newer version. But I need to do it with those software in particular.I have Visual Studio 2005 and Visual SourceSafe 6 installed on my computer. When I try to open Visual SourceSafe 6 database using Visual SourceSafe 6 directly, I have no problem at all.Then I try to open a project solution I took from SourceSafe using Visual Studio 2005. Right away I receive this messageThe solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found. It is possible that the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file or another item that holds the source control settings for the solution, has been deleted. Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects whose bindings are missing will be treated as not under source control.
Then an invite to chose a SourceSafe Database open. I click on BROWSE. First thing I noticed : The SourceSafe available databases list is empty (while I remind, it's not in SourceSafe 6. I can see there the COMMON database and the VSS database which is located on a different server on our network. Before that, I went in TOOLS->OPTIONS->SOURCE CONTROL, and make sure Visual Source Safe was selected as the Plug-in to use for a Source Control).So I click again on Browse, and locate my srcsafe.ini file. Everything is OK. It evens confirm me that my database path is \dev2k3programmationVSS and that my database name is indeed VSS. So it found it. I then click on OK.
But when I do, the Database is not added to my available list, at all. The result, I can never select a source control, ever, which end in me not being able to work connected to the main source control of our network. Everything is working fine on every other computer in our company. Only this one have problem.Did I give enough description to my problem? I really need help on this one, because working disconnected from Source Safe can give a lot of pain to our team. Can anyone give me an hand? If you need any more info, just ask.
I am using VS 2005.When i was opening my VS 2005 and i tried to open web appication view designer.But it is not working and it is showing a warning message "Entry point was not found".

I already have a web application running successfully develeoped using Classic ASP by the previous web pregrammer. Since I'm not familiar with Classic ASP, I tried running the source code in Visual Studio ASP.NET. However, I'm unable to run it (expliciltely denied). May I know whether there are special things to note when opeing and running a web application developed in Classic ASP in ASP.NET? The previous web application is connected to the school server, but I'm using my laptop's local host to run the application. Is that why I can't run the application? What are the steps needed to connect my ASP.NET application with the server.
I have a website which was created by someone; now I am trying to open it.
My doubt is will that project contain a solution? Within Visual Studio, I am trying to open through the open website option, but I didn't find a solution.
Is that right way? How best can I open a website with Visual Studio?
I have a problem within a project in Visual Web Developer. The program will not allow me to open the aspx.vb file associated with an aspx file when I choose the "View Code" option. The aspx.vb file exists; however the program is prevented from loading it and seeing it in Solutions Explorer.
The problem may be related to how the entire project is loaded -- loading it as a project vs. as a website. When I load it as a project, I have compilation errors that do not exist otherwise, but can see the aspx.vb files. When it is loaded as a website, I can't open the aspx.vb files as described above.
I'm currently dealing with my final year project and of course, later I might need to present this whole things to my lecturer.
So, I would like to ask you guys about how to open my website without Visual Studio and make it LAN (can be accessed by two or more computer through LAN).
I constant get the following error when I try to load existing web project in Visual studio
"The Web Application Project is configured to use IIS. To access Web sites on the local IIS Web server, you must run Visual Studio under an Administrator account."
It started happening after I had to re-install IIS because of metabase corruption. I have already tried following
1. create and re-create application in IIS 2. register aspnet using aspnet_regiis 3. I am already member of adminstrators group I also added aspnet to administrator group, no luck 4. I have tried repairing Visual studio 2008 and still same issue appears
I am using XP SP3, Visual Studio 2008 Team System and IIS 5.1. I have Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 installed on my machine.
I've just downloaded VS2010 Express to play with on my personal laptop. However, when I try to open an existing website through the "Open Web Site..." / "Local IIS" button, the system trundles on for a bit and then says: "To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components: In addition, you must run Visual Studio in teh context of an administrator account."
Note the blank line after the "you must install...." [strikeout]Is this a limitation of the "Express" editions of Visual Studio? [/strikeout] I've just installed VS2010 Premium from our MSDN DVD and it has the same problem.... Also, seems to have broken VS2008 as well since I can no longer browse Local IIS from VS 2008 either. Good thing I installed this on my backup machine first and I can still get work done on my main development machine!
I've built an ASP.Net site in Visual Studio, and created the DB inside it (the .mdf file is in the APP_data folder).
Now, when I want to deploy in the customer site, I think about maintaining the DB without open Visual Studio, and by using the SQL Server Express tools (back up etc.).
I've searched how to do this, and learned that I should attach the .mdf file to sql server.
I've tried to do this and failed!
The error is: Unable to open the physical file "< .mdf >". Operating system error 5: "5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105)". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5120)
Now I have 2 options:
1. To give up and deploy the site in the current situation where the DB is an .mdf file and ASP.Net can connect to it by the SQL server express compact (in the proccess).
To extract all the data (I need to think how...) and import it to new DB, this time in SQL Server DB.
I have not been able to open css files in VWD, I must have sone something I don't know. I can open them in wordpad, and WebDevelopment Server still displays properly so the file is not currupt. Is there a setting I messed up in web.config or somewhere else?
I was using VS2008 everything ws going well but one day because of some problem i have to reload the windows and VS2008 and since then i am unable to open the designer.It does not give me any error message but i am unable to use any of the feature after clicking design or view designer from solution explorer.I have tried reinstalling the VS2008 but it does not solve my problem.
I am trying to open an existing asp.net app. on my local machine with VS2008. The app. resides in a folder on the Windows 2003 Server. The app. runs on our intranet. Recently, a change was made to the app. directly by opening one of the files in the solution and adding maybe a couple of lines of c# code and saved back. Of course this would not make a difference as its not been re-compiled.
I copied the whole folder where the app. resides on the server to my desktop and then tried to open the solution with VS2008, it came up with a prompt saying the app was written using a previous version of Visual Studio and needed to be converted to VS2008 format, I followed the intructions, but it failed saying something like "...failed to make a backup etc", it wouldn't open the solution.I have successfully open other apps this way but this one particular one would not just open. All I want to do is to use VS2008 to recompile and publish back to the server. I have tried using VS2005, it just says the app. was created by a newer version of the application...
I think the app was built sometime btw 2004 - 2008. Also, if it is relevant, the folder where the app. resides on the server has a globe icon, don't know if its an IIS thingIs there any other way to compile this .net app. without using VS2008,
When I edit .aspx or .cshtml file in the Visual Studio and press Ctrl-F5 (run), it runs the current file in the browser. How do I make it to avoid this and always open the app's site URL instead?
I have copied my asmx hello webservice to a remote server where I tried to open the project I have this message. That I answer yes or no it cannot open the project VS stays blank.Originally I think I have clicked on associate this project with IIS Express. Now I don't know how to revert this.
