When I use VS2008 to create a new form application, I am able to go to the Data menu select "Show Data Sources" then the "Data Sources" window appears. Then I am able to "Add New Data Source" and so on. But when I create a new Web Application. I can not do that. Am I not able to create a Data Source on web applications?

i was trying to copy the dialog box but was un able to do so.
it used to work but today it is just empty i am not sure what to do
I created and populated a database inside Visual Studio 2008 instead of using Management Studio.I need to run the script to create the schema for users and roles.The database does not show up in ASP.NET SQL Server Setup Wizard or in Management StudioThe only databases that do show up are master, model, msdb, and tempdb
Is there anything I can do to fix this or would it be easier for me to just create a new database starting in Management Studio and then connect to it from within Visual Studio?
I have had a persistant problem, which occurs in "Visual Web Developer 2008" express, but also in "Visual Studio 2010"
When I drop a data control onto my webpage, and the select "Configure Data Source", the dialog box opens, but when I try and browse for the data file (could be MDB or XLS) the data file does not appear in the "Select (XML/MDB) file" - in the example below a XML file. If I set the filter to "All Files (*.*)" I can see all of the files EXCEPT the XML files.
The project is a web project, and is set to HTTP - using my local IIS.
can Visual Studio 2008 be All-In-One tool to integrate source code continuously from team members, build, unit test?
Having used Visual Studio Team Edition 2005, unit testing each method within VS itself. I strongly believe that it is feasible to add-on tools. Example ankhsvn tool to use SVN from Visual studio [URL]
In my investigating i have come across number of tools(shown below) to use with Visual Studio 2008 professional
Development tool:- Visual Studio 2008 professional using Subversion as source control tool. Continuous Integration:- Hudson or Cruise control Build tool:- NAnt Testing:- NUnit, Selinium As Visual Studio 2008 can be used for unit testing I think NUnit is out of consideration.
In the same way i would like to have any other tools/add-ons to Visual studio to implement continuous integration, building and unit testing. This process should be automated such a way source code between team members is continuously integrated, built and unit testing is done as configured.
Objective is to use few number of tools as add-on to Visual Studio or achieve most from Visual studio itself (example unit testing). Visual Studio should be all in one tool.
I am aware that Team Foundation Server best suits my requirement, but it is out of scope due to its cost.
How do I programmaticly set data source for Asp.net report control?I have a VS 2008 report control and want to switch between a couple different reports.I can switch repots by setting the report source and refreshing the control but I can't see where to set the data source.Each report has it's own data source and if I set them to start when the control is built it is fine but I need to switch between them.

Can you edit a website (in Visual Studio) on a server from your PC by going:File -> Open Web Site -> File System -> My Network Places -> Entire Network -> Microsoft Windows Network -> FooDomain -> FooServer -> Foo_Public_Shared_Folder (which is actually a web applicaiton in C:InetpubwwwrootfoobarWebApp).I suspect it is bad practice to edit a website that is pubished on a server like this - or at least highly unusual? Would I be right in saying that you should create a new website on your local PC then build and publish to the server in question?
One last point as well -if you need to make a copy of a published website and make some enhancements without losing the original - how can you do this i.e. you don't have the original Visual Studio project only the published site (i.e. this could be made by some web site authoring/wizard tool).

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a website and I'm testing resgistering and Log-in.
I followed a simple tutorial to create a Log-in in Visual Studio C# template which generated a SQL Server database.Locally the Log-in and registration page works perfectly. The problem is that when I upload my site to the hosting site the navigation works but the Log-in and Registration forms send an error when clicked "Register" or "Log-in". I contacted the site and they upload my database the way it should be because I was doing it wrong. I can see all my files including the data base.
They commented me that I had to do a connection string to the data base so the login and registration forms can work. I don't understand how to do that, I know the connection string has to be declared in the Web Config File, the thing is that I don't know how to write that code and link it to my data base in the hosting site, in fact I have sample code but I don't know just what do I need to put in it.

View 2 RepliesI am stumped by a serious issue in Vs 2008.
I created a Blank solution called HelloWorld.Then I added a new Class Library project by the name of HelloWorldService.After creation of the
Class Library project the Solution name disappeared from Solution Explorer.
As a result of which I can now only add new items into the Class Library project but cannot add new item to the solution.
This appears to be a pretty old problem as I found it in another link on the internet.

View 2 RepliesI've been using VS2010 to look at the new ASP.NET and specifically MVC 2. I have gone through the 0.8 release of the MvcMusicStore sample on CodeProject (good job so far).
Now, I'm working on a project to explore MVC more deeply and after creating a table in a local SQL table, I went to create an ADO.NET entity data model to work with the table data. When I get to the list of templates, the total list of templates are:
SQL Server Database Text File XML File XML Schema That's everything (meaning when C# is selected at the top of the dialog's installed templates).
I've re-installed VS2010 (gone through the control panel and the maintenance option for VS2010). There's no Linq, Data Set, Database Unit Test, nothing....
It was there before, it's not now.
UPDATE : I did find this article: [URL] I did run devenv /installvstemplates. It ran without errors, however, the error still persists.
The article said if the "solution" was not a real solution, to re-install VS2010 (Really???). So I went to do so. The ADO.NET entity object framework is installed.
Why would VS2010 "forget" something so intrinsic?
Anyone know if I can maintain a VS 2008 (.net 3.5) project by using the VS 2010 IDE ?
View 1 RepliesWhen using Visual Web Developer Express there seems to be an issue when trying to insert a DDL into the Wizard. If I create a Wizard, and then insert a DDL inside the wizard, the source shows, correctly,
...
<asp:WizardStep runat="server" title="Step 1"> <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"> </asp:DropDownList> </asp:WizardStep>
...
However, if I return to the Design view and use the Smart Tasks button to 'Edit Items', although I can complete the relevant details in the 'ListItem Collection Editor' they are not transferred to the source. If I use exactly the same procedure on a DDL outside the Wizard everything functions correctly.
