Visual Studio :: Layout Of Controls On A Web Page?
Jan 20, 2011
I am learning ASP .net (I have several years experience designing windows applications). When I add controls to a new blank web page, I do not seem to be able to control where on the page these controls sit. They default to being jammed up against one another from left to right in the top left corner. Am I missing something? Is something not working? If this is by design, what is the basic method for controlling how controls sit on the web page?
We have two installs of VS 2008. One on a machine that previously had 2005 installed and one on a new [clean] machine with no previous Visual Studio install.The clean machine install went fine, however when we open an aspx page in design view the layout is "scrunched" up. In source view the text matches the text in source view [of a copy of the same aspx page].In design view on the 2005/2008 VS installed machine, the layout is fine.Layout on the page is done in a "Table", with various text boxes, buttons, gridviews.
And just to reiterate, the aspx file in design view [using VS 2008 SP1] on the machine that has VS 2005/2008 installedlooks fine, no problem.The same page loaded in design view on the clean machine with VS 2008 SP1 installed is "scrunched" up.For example the gridview that should be at the top right of the page is in left-center of the page and the gridview that should be at the bottom-center of the page is also at the left-center, directly on top of the gridview that should be at the top right sideof the page.Have compared the config of VS 2008 on both machines and can't find a problem!
I was trying to create a new page .But I needed to make the positioning to absolute.But for this the layout menu is invisible.how to add this menu to the visual studio..
I have installed the current version of nopCommerce (v1.6) on my local server using SQL server express.I have downloaded the version with source code and have installed it without problems.When I go to open any .aspx pages it opens perfectly but when you switch to design view all you can see is broken image's and databound labels. It looks as if it is not using the CSS as the layout is single coloum down the left hand side of the page. When I run the solution through the local host it appears perfectly in the web browser, but when I go back to the visual studio design page it still does not render correctly.Has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone found a solution to this?It makes it really hard to change the layout as when I am editing the CSS on my other monitor usually I can see it updating the page while I edit the CSS on the other, with nopCommerce I have to build the solution every time I want to look at the changes I have made. It also makes it nearly impossible to place new controls into the webpage without fiddling with them for an hour before they are in the right position.I have coded other websites by hand in visual studio I have been able to edit the layout without having to build the solution.
At work, we've developed a custom ASP.NET Web Portal (That's very similar to iGoogle). We have "Apps" (self-contained, large web forms) and "Modules" (similar to Google Gadgets).Currently, we use a single-solution model. Right now, we have:
To reduce copy and pasting between projects, we're going to factor out common functionality (Data Access, Business Logic) into separate projects. I'd also like to introduce Unit Tests, which is going to increase the number of projects even more.We've already reached the point where Visual Studio is choking on the number of projects. We generally only load the 3 core projects and then whatever app's/module's project we're working on.Would a different solution structure help us out? Our number of projects is only going to increase.
In general, an app or module only references the 3 core projects. Soon, apps/modules may start referencing the Data Access/Business Logic projects. But in general, apps and modules do not make references between themselves.So to recap, what is the best practice for solution structure when there are MANY projects that use a small number of core projects?
When editing a UserControl (.ascx) in my project, it forces a rebuild of the website when requesting the page. This really gets annoying when programming any large project, the build time goes up to 15sec+.
In the last few days I found myself looking at a blank screen more often than programming. This gets frustrating, all the waiting.
When I make a change to a table in a page Visual Studio makes another.Style. After a few changes I can end up with 30+ .stlyes in a pageOften they are the same.Is there a way to manage that, say turn it off?
When i drag my table into any asp page inside the Visual Web Developer aspx page, Nothing happen, Even there is no datasource or gridView it just the blank page i created.
I tried to create new web forms and all same results i got.
My site was working fine in Visual Studio 2008, but the code-behind pages have suddenly stopped recognising new controls which I add to the main page. For example I added a label with id 'lblEventHeader' to the main page and then tried to set a text property in the Page_Load event. I get a compile error of "the name 'lblEventHeader' does not exist in tne current context. Existing controls, which I added before this problem seems to be unaffected.
As far as I am aware, I have not done anything which should cause this. I have even reinstalled Visual Studio, but I still get the same error message. Have I inadvertently deleted or corrupted a reference file. I have checked the Codefile and Inherits properties of the page.
I am university student and i am not fully familiar with MS visual web developer. wat I need to learn is that i am developing a web application for my project and i am stopped at how to add tab control to my web page. i am using MS visual web developer 2010 express edition. in my toolbox there is no tab control or page control option exist.
I started a new web project in VS2008 coding in vb.net. When I double-click on a control in the designer screen to go to the vb code page so I can code on some events, the control does not show in the control dropdown which means I cannot get to all of the different events. The only way I can do this is to add a line like below inside the class at the top:
[Code]....
I am working with another project that does not have this problem. Is there a setting that changes this?
I want to use a source control in VS2010, I know my best bet is TFS, but at the moment TFS(can't afford ). As i understand TFS is the new VSS_2005(can afford)Can VSS 2005 be use as a source control for VS 2010 solutions/projects?
I've a page main.aspx. This page has a button 'Settings'. When it is clicked, I load another aspx page settigns.aspx in a popup. Now in the settings.aspx i allow the users to add controls dynamically. For example the user can create 5 textboxes. When he saves it there, I need to get that controls to main.aspx.
So i need to move all the controls from one page to another page. I'm not able to think of a solution with user controls.

I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.
Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 locked up, and when I tried to restart it, it wouldn't load, so I did a devenv.exe /resetuserdata to get it going again. It reset everyhing in my options of the web app/ etc, and now some AJAX conrols don't work such as dragpanel. I assume that it is because something got reset that I haven't enabled again, but can't figure it out.
Im working on a website project with Visual Studio 2010 from 2 different computers (home & work). In Dreamweaver Im used to FTP to upload/download files to/from a webserver to syncronice my files on the current computer Im working on.What is best option in Visual Studio 2010 to sync project files between home & work computers? I have seen there is a built in FTP, but seems only it can upload files, limited functionality?
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.
