I am trying to set up a solution - projects folder structure. I am trying to keep CSS, master pages, Themes, Images and login page as a common web application project and reference them when needed in any other web site or web application in the same solution. Is it possible to do it? If so, is it a best practice? If not, what is the best practice to do this?

View 6 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.

It seems to be a bug.Has MS released a patch or a fix for this.
In my company app we have organized it something like the following:
1. Solution (Transcripts)
Solution Folder - Lib
Solution Folder - Debug
Solution Folder - Release
Class Library Project
Web Project
My Question:
1. All my references from Web Project are referencing to the DLL's in the Lib folder under Solution (Transcripts). Why can't we refere to DLL's directly under Web Project why the need of creating a new solution folder "Lib"?
2. When we publish the Web Project. Does that mean that all the DLL's under Lib solution folder also gets published?

View 3 RepliesI have a site that was created with VWD2005. I tried to open the solution with VS 2008. This prompted me to convert it which I did. Now when I look at the project in the Solution Explorer in VS 2008, I see all of the files but they are now with in a folder named "2" that's within a folder named "back up". I also see another folder with in the solution that's named _UpgradeReport_Files.
The files for my project that are with in the folder "2" that is with in the folder "back up" are actually in the back up folder for my project in the Visual Studio 2005 folder with in My Documents. I assume this is because I chose the "create back" up option when doing the conversion. I don't understand why these files and this project aren't in the project directory with in the VS2008 folder with in My Documents.
I want all of my files for this project to be in the projects folder with in the Visual Studio 2008 folder in My documents, the same as if I had created this project in Visual Studio 2008 originally. But the conversion doesn't seem to have done this. Instead I seem to be using a solution/project that references the original files with in the back up folder as mentioned above.
Can I just create a new project in VS 2008 and paste these files into it? Will this work? I'm not sure if it will because the original one was created in VWD 2005 which I think uses the .net framework 2.0. My Visual Studio 2008 uses version 3.5 Sp1 of the .NET framework.
So I would like my solution to save in the same folder as the rest of my files. I am a win forms developer so web is new to me.
1) Is there any reason why I shouldn't do that for web.
2) Second how do I do that. I know that I can change the solution's saving location by changing ToolsOptionProjects & SolutionsProject's Location. However, I just want it to use the location of the new website I create and not that specification.
I can't get my .aspx page to recognize control events in it's codebehind.

which is fine, but I don't want to use inline script.

I'm trying to create a .NET solution and add class libraries to it. First - in VS2008 I go to File > New > Project > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solution. Then - after VS2008 creates the blank solution I right click on the solution and select Add > New Project > Visual C# > Class Library. However, when I add the Class Library to the solution, the solution icon disappears from Solution Explorer (although the solution name is still in the VS2008 title bar). Why does the solution icon disappear
from the Solution Explorer when I attempt to do this?
Weird 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?!

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.
I have to modify a exist web application in Asp .Net, the problem is that I have the application just on the server.

I have first installed VS2005 and then installed VS2008. After installing, whenever i create a solution in VS2008, i am able to create it properly. if i double-click the solution file, i am able to open the project. Recently i had a problem in my IIS 5.1 and i uninstalled it and the installed it again. After doing that whenever i try to open a VS2008 solution file, i am getting the following error The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened.". I even tried creating a blank solution using
File->New->Project->Other Project Types-> Visual Studio Solutions-> Blank Solution.
I then added a new project to this solution. I closed the solution and again when i double-click on the newly created solution file i am getting the same error as previous one. I found some solution in the net, tried that and didn't work at all.
I've got a Visual Studio 2010 solution that has multiple web applications in it. I've set one as the startup project but when I debug Visual Studio is starting up a development server for each web application in my solution. Is there anyway I can have Visual Studio only start up the development server for just the default startup project?
