View 2 RepliesI'm using visual studio 2010 professional, I dont what had happened but i lost my settings suddenly and the VS editor is generating a HYPHEN (-) everytime when i press SPACE BAR key..
I've tried restoring the settings, changing the settings from OPTIONS without any luck.
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.
View 2 RepliesI have Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 installed on my machine. When I bring up the Find and Replace box in 2008 in any project the 'Look at these file types:' option is blank however in 2005 it keeps defaulting to the file type of RemoveFile. If I don't remember to clear it then it causes my search to fail. Does any one know how do I reset this value or remove this default option so the file type is not set and it looks at every file type when I search for a word.

I have been asked to take over and modify an existing dynamic web site made with vb and asp 3.5 on a shared hosting enviroment. The original programmer left and I have no access to the original documentation of the site, if any. Nevertheless, I have complete access to the web server and database server.
How can I import the existing wen site into Visual Studio and recreate the development enviroment.
I'm new to asp.net, but U have prior experience with VB and asp web development.
I have to refactor really huge project with a lot of user controls where each has a lot of element sometimes with no unique id. I mean that in one page Image element has ID="img" as well as DevExpress popup control (containig image) in another page. When I try to search concrete ID, I found many of them in code behind files (.cs) but I need only these which I can find in *.ascx files. Can I do such thing?

View 1 RepliesUsing VS2008sp1, I'm publishing Web app to a separate IIS7.5 server. It's been ok for a while, but hit this strange scenario:
-Created a class file that generates its own DLL.
-works fine locally
-When publish to server, the older DLL file is there along with all the other newer files (based on time stamp). The application dies when it tries to execute the new class method (it knows of the correct method call, but cant find the method. e.g method not found: class.method() )
-turned off IIS service. Deleted DLL file, republished: still showed older DLL (???)
Its obviously cached / protected somewhere, but how do I get around this an publish all as a group? Do I need to restart IIS everytime?
How would you revert the web.config file back to .net 3.5 if .net 4.0 updated it to minimal?

View 3 RepliesUsing Visual Web Developer I have created a page (Search.aspx) with a Text Box(SourcingIC) and Search Button. I do not want data (Gridview) displayed on the Search.aspx page, just the Text Box and Search Button.
A user inserts name in the text box(SourcingIC), presses the search button and then is directed to a new page (SearchResults.aspx) that displays the records found for SourcingIC. What coding is needed to make this happen? Can you provide me with what actual coding would need to be added?

I've just had Visual Studio 2008 Pro installed by my systems people a few days ago. I'm working through VB.Net For Dummies to refamiliarize myself with it, as it has been a long time since I took a .NET course (2003ish)
I'm not sure if I've done something wrong in the install or what's going on, but in the book it tells me to drag a calendar control to the Web Form page. The screen shot shows it displayed beneath the "Standard" option in the toolbox.
However, the only option I have in my toolbox is "HTML" and it's just got the very most basic HTML controls, like text box and button, etc. I tried "Show All" and then I see Standard, but everything is greyed out.
How do I get the rest of the advanced controls available in ASP.NET? Is it part of the initial setup and was maybe missed by the systems people? Or is there something I need to do to make them available?
I am especially interested in the Calendar control (or any control similar to DatePicker in Windows Forms) as I'm going to have to use that in my real application that I'm gearing up to build.
I am new at this VB/Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express thing. I am amaze that I even got this far and thatI manages to make this search page work. Below is the code and picture for this search page. It's working. However I want to transfer the result/the gridview onto a second page Result.aspx. But I tries all kind of thing and it just doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me. If anyone can give me some hint/some sample codes on how I might be able to transfer controlfrom one page onto another. I just have to learn it from a class extra credit project. Also in the picture above I am using a direct connection to an Access database not the ObjectDataSource. I was just playing around with it to see which is better. But I ended up going with direct connection to Access database.

I need to open a txt text an search a sequence data. For example, searching for "name" and get the text NAME: John Doe and return only the "John Doe". An example of the contents of the text:
NAME: EDUARDO MANCIA AGE: 27 ADDRESS: Rua Altino Arantes NUMBER: 297
CITY: SAO PAULO NAME: CARLOS ABREU AGE: 32 ADDRESS: RUA SAO JOSE NUMBER: 1002
CITY: SAO PAULO
There is no standard type of a "name" per line, in fact everything is amended and the file is quite extensive, with 1687 contacts.

View 2 RepliesIn Visual Studio 2008 while debugging an ASP.Net website I set a breakpoint in the codebehind page. I refresh the page or submit to call the method, the breakpoint is hit. Then I delete the breakpoint and continue execution. I make a change to the codebehind page and save it. I submit or refresh again and the deleted breakpoint is back! It is hit again, and I delete it again. I have tried delete, disable, nothing works it keeps coming back if I make a change to the page. It is extremely annoying and unproductive. The only way I have found to make the breakpoint permanently go away is to use the Debug menu Delete all breakpoints item, which is obviously less than ideal. I have been able to reproduce this on other developers machines also. What is going on here? Is this by design? Is it a bug in VS? How do I keep these zombie breakpoints from resurrecting?

It is about ASP.NET MVC3. I have a page with at the top some search criteria and at the bottom the resulting data. The user can type some criteria and use a submit button to retieve data. In my controller, I have an ActionResult function for managing these criteria and return to the same page with a ViewModel class filled.
The problem: the user can click on a line in the resulting table for viewing a detail page. On the detail page, he can navigate to an edit page for editing data. On this page (edit data) I would like to able the user to go back to the search result page (in fact: navigate back two times). What is the best way to proceed? If I "simply" use an ActionLink (without posting data) to my search result page, it will simply display an empty result page with empty search criteria. Maybe I need to keep my search criteria in a session variable? I don't like this kind of thing...
Anyone know if I can maintain a VS 2008 (.net 3.5) project by using the VS 2010 IDE ?
