Visual Studio :: Solutions Displayed As Notepad Open Mode?
Feb 23, 2011
My computer's operating system is WIndows 7.I right click a solution file and choose open with notepad by accidently,then after i open my Visual studio 2008 in windows 7,all the solutions are displayed as notepad open mode,i want to change back to normal solution file open mode,How coul i do that?Actually for all the other files,if i right cliked,it will default as notepad,i can not remove this notepad mode.that is odd.
I have 2 sollutions (1 CMS, 1 Customer specific with controls). The customer controls are coppied (with xcopy) to the CMS location. In the web.config of the CMS the specific controls are registered.The controls are useing functions from the CMS dll as well.How can I debug those two solutions as it where only one? I tried to start the CMS in debug mode with breakpoints in de CMS and customer controls, in this case only the breakpoints in the CMS are used. If I run the customer controls in debug mode only the braekpoint in this solution are used.The CMS is running on my local IIS 7.
I got a project when after opening in visual studio 2005 in build mode drop down, only debug mode is shown but release mode not shown.Project builds successfully in debug mode is there a way to enable release mode.
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 experiencing some problem in visual studio as when i press f5 to run the solution of asp.net file which is displayed in browser,,it doesnot displays it...however the internal browser displays the output correctly... i have reinstalled the visual studio but the problem is still there...i have tried in internet explorer 8, mozilla fire fox, google chrome but no one browser is displaying the output except the internal browser. this problem occured to me suddenly..some days before every thing was working fine.... now i am posting my problem here,may b anyone of you could help me to get rid out of it.
I'm having issues with the Express version of Visual Studio 2005 ever since I had reinstalled Windows 2000. For some reason, while debugging I can't view variable contents if I hover my cursor over that certain variable, it just marks the variable with a square, but it won't show the DataTip no matter what. I had tried to restore my import/export settings, reinstall Visual Studio, but nothing seems to have helped, and I can only view variable contents using the QuickWatch window, or by putting it into the watch list, but to be honest this is extremely annoying. I haven't had this on my previous Win2k installation, and so far I couldn't find out why this occurs.
I got a problem regarding CSS in my pages. I managed to apply styles to my page using css and everything looks fine in the Design view. I ran it on IE8 and everything is working fine. Now after I returned to Visual Studio, added some rules to my CSS, and noticing that everything is working fine in the Design view, I ran it again in IE8 and nothing has changed. The rules I added was ignored and it looks the same. I ran it on Firefox and Google Chrome and it's working fine.
But if I ran my project in IE8 through IIS7.5, everything is working fine so it means, the problem is within visual studio 2010.
Visual Studio ( VSTS 2008 ) design mode work good for long time and from about 2 weeks ago it's suddenly stop view any thing in design mode i tried a lot with trying in another projects even in a simple web page but no way it's doesn't view any thing in design mode ... I think to reinstall VS 2008 again but I don't know if is there any outher solution for that ?
I am using vs2008 sp1. I am building web site with aspx. I am also using an ajax control. My Site was working normally. I could run it from f5 and it would stop at a debug point. I added an additional aspx page. Then I got a strange error. When I pressed f5 a message box appeared saying that I had not made this version with the debug option. Then from reading an internect post I disabled only my code. That got rid of the message box error but now the debugger does not stop at any break point? Of course this happen when I need to go live with this project in a day.
I was debugging and noticed the following in VS 2008. I had a breakpoint set to see what the values were for the objects used with my parameters in my DAL. I hovered over the object in question and the little window came up with the name of the object(with the blue brick to the left of it), a vertical line, and the objects value to the right of it. This is what I expected to happen.
What I didn't expect is the that I was able to change the value of the object in the little window. I then tried to continue the execution with the new value that I inserted but wasn't able to get the new value to remain. I suspect maybe I didn't do something right.
Is there a way to get the new inserted value(in the little window in break mode) to be used? It seems like there is or I shouldn't have been able to change it..
As far I know this is not supported for asp.net projects. It's quite handy for testing static/shared functions.any info if this will be available in future versions? Or if there are any alternative ways to test your functions in design mode?
So here is the problem, when I build my web application in Win 7 x64 and publish (copy) to 2008 Server R2 (also 64 bit), the application won't run when I navigate to a page that uses a 32 bit dll.
When I boot to the Vista x86 partition and build and publish (copy), same code, minimally modified sln file to redirect to same code location. I've created a new entry usiong Menu > Build > Configuration Manager and created a x86 entry. I thought that was all I needed to do to force VS to build to a 32 bit machine. Am I missing something or do I just need to boot Vista when I want to work on my web site?
This error only happens when I launch an existing application, if I create a new app the error does not appear on that site. However if I try to enter Design mode the Windows Installer opens and hangs. I can still edit the code and even launch the app.
If I click "OK", I get a dialog box that starts a Windows Installer that does not install anything, it justs sits there. If I "cancel" the installer, VWDE dies.
The only thing different on my laptop is that I had Office 2007 Trial installed along side Office 2003 before I installed VWD, I then uninstalled the trial and used the clean-up tool at [URL] to clean up the trial.
I have tried to repair VWDE, I have uninstalled and reinstalled VWDE with no change. Ialso have VB Express running and get no errors when launching it.
I have been working on this project for weeks. Every thing was fine. But all of sudden today, I got this error: Page cannot be displayed when I was trying to debug as usual.
I searched online for solution. Only one solution was found at [URL]. But when I followed its steps, I found in my hosts file, it is already like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost
I cannot continue to work without testing finished form pages.
I am developing a web site in Visual Studio 2008. I have a project for the web application and several class libraries as references. When I add the references I select the file under bin/debug in the class library folder. When changing the project to release mode the references still point to the .dll in the debug folder. Shouldn't this change automatically. How should I add the references so that debug and release are properly referenced?
We all know that we should only be publishing our ASP.NET Web Applications with release build type, so why do I not get a warning when I trigger the "Publish" command in Visual Studio 2008, for a project configured to build in debug mode? Sure, there might be cases where I need to publish a debug build to a development or test environment, but answering yes in a confirmation dialog would be acceptable in these cases. Is there an option that I have overlooked, forcing Visual Studio to warn me every time I try to publish a debug build? Yes, we could just ban using the "Publish" command and use a more solid build management tool, but this involves a change of process and right not be an option in this particular case.
I use ResolveClientUrl to include css files in my page. When launched through web-server everything is OK, but in design mode css styles are not applied to the page. I use VS 2010 beta 2.
