This useful effect seems not to happen anymore. I'm in VS2008. If I have several files open as tabs, when clicking on each of them, VS used to highlight that file in Project Explorer, which is very useful to quickly see where in the Solution that file is, even if it's not in the Web Project.
View 1 RepliesWeird Sunday morning question: I routinely drag files into my projects from Windows Explorer. But I just created a new project and I get the slashed circle every time I try to drag in a file from Windows Explorer. I closed the project and opened another one just to confirm that I wasn't having a foggy Sunday morning problem but I _am_ able to drag files into the this other project. Trying to drag the same file into my new project won't work. What's up with this?!
View 4 RepliesI am using VWD 2010 Express, usually with several site pages open in tabs. For some reason, when I move from one tab to another, the newly active page is not highlighted in the Solution Explorer pane. Is there some setting that is causing this? I often have two similar pages open, referring to the code on one as I work on the other, and not having the Solution Explorere correctly highlighting the active page make it really easy to be working on the wrong page.

View 1 RepliesI'll start off by pointing out I am on VS 2010 with a Web Application running against .NET 3.5 SP1 I have a Web Application that I've been working on for almost 2 years now, and suddenly I cannot add a new page to the project without it whining that 'Could not load type 'AA.Service.Pages.Folder_PageName'.' for any page I create 'AA' is the Root namespace defined in my project's Application tab in the settings... Since I started I have been namespacing my pages to avoid any possible conflicts with this pattern
[Code]....
and the aspx page would be like so:
[Code]....
That is the way every single page on the site is coded Now suddenly out of no where any new page I create throws 'Could not load type "AA.Service.Pages.Folder_PageName"' Every single previous page created in the project before today is exactly in the same pattern as above, refers to the same MasterPage, and works perfectly fine. I have done no window updates, VS updates or anything that could have caused this I don't even know where to begin. Trying to create a new blank, stand-alone, MasterPage-less page doesn't work either, same could not load type error I've tried doing stupid usual Microsoft tips like "reboot your computer" too.
Even though I when I create a linqtosql class I mark C# as the language it was always shows up as a Visual Basic file in the App Code file. I can't get it to stop doing that. ????? What is going on?

I've got an ASP.NET 4 web forms application I'm building in Studio 2010. The solution has two projects. A web forms application and a class library. I have added a reference to the class libraryr project in the web forms project, but when I go a code behind page in the web forms project, it does not recognize the class from the class library and throws the "type or namespace <class> could not be found ...." error. Adding a using <class library projec> does not work either as it does not recognize that.
What am I missing?

I'm making a web site in ASP.NET. Until now i was always debugging with Firefox. After i implemented an UpdatePanel i wanted to test it also on internet explorer. If i choose IE as standard browser then is the debugging of visual studio very very very slow and it crashes also (on second time debugging).
I also have seen that every time i do ctrl-F5, then a new ASP.NET Development Server starts with a different port, in Firefox there is always 1 ASP.NET Development Server...
As that title says my aspx page shows a compile error on the @Page directive that says "ASP.NET runtime error: Cannot load file or Assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser' or one of it's dependencies". The project compiles with our error and it runs with no problem. The only real problem that this causes it that the intellisense for anything other than simple HTML is broken so I can't type asp:Controlname and have intellisense show me a the list of items or properties in a control. I get a green squiggly line under all the asp tags saying "Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'asp'". This project doesn't directly use SQL SMO but it does reference a project that does. However, I removed that reference and the problem still doesn't go away. I have installed on my development machine the full SQL client and for both SQL 2005 and 2008 (including the SDK) from the Developer editions of both versions. This was not a problem on VS2005 and the project compiles without error in VS2010 too.

View 1 RepliesI recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
<div class='<asp:Literal ID="CssClassLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>'>
It doesn't see this literal when it does the conversion... Is the above valid code or should I implement that functionality another way?
Is there a way to change the colors (or perhaps add an overlay) to the files in Solution Explorer?It would be great to be able to 'tag' the files with different colors so that you can see for example what status the different files have.
View 2 RepliesI noticed that when I download a framework say like "Coolite" and open the solution, and find the Connection to the Database showed up in the Server Explorer.
In some other times, the Connection Dose not show.
I can create a connection to a Database in Server Exploere, but I need say to add it to my Web.Config directly, but not sure how. I am trying to drag-and-drop from the Server Explorer to Web.Config, it is not working.
When and how the Connections to Databases will show in Server Explorer ?
How I can create a connection to a Database using say a Wizard, and add it directly to Web.Config ?
I used the ASP.net Web Site Administration tool to create a database with two users and two roles. The database created successfully and is showing up in Solution Explorer in the App_Data folder of my project, as expected. The problem is, that when I click on the database I get an error message saying that "SQL Server database files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Server 2008 Express to be installed and running on the local computer." I, in fact, have 3 versions of SQL Server running on my computer. SQL Server Express (default instance), SQL Server Express (named instance for Outlook 2010 Business Contact Manager), and SQL Server 2008 R2 (Developer Edition). If I create a new connection in Server Explorer and then attach the database file, it attaches fine. It's only in Solution Explorer that it somehow is not connecting.
View 1 RepliesI have two web forms inside the same project folder that will be very similar when completed. When I copy a web form and paste it in the project folder by its new name I can see the .aspx file, the aspx.cs and aspx.designer.cs all by the new name. Appears to work perfect...........Why don't these show up when I view the Solution Folder? I was hoping to copy one, make changes and rename the second one saving time. Appears to not be tied into the Project.

When the form posts back refresh the solution explorer and the new directory does not appear.Check your file system and the file will be there.Not a massive issue but frustrating.
