Web Forms :: Dynamic Data Not There In Visual Studio 2008 "scaffolding"
Mar 8, 2010
I would like use Dynamic Data to scaffolding my table forms, and I followup this link [URL] The problem I cannot find Dynamic Data when I create web project. My .Net version is 3.5 and my Visual Studio 2008 Professional full installation. How I can install ASP.NET Dynamic Data and use it with Visual Studio 2008?
Is there any tool for Visual Studio 2008 which can reformat ASPX code to make it more presentable (eg insert line breaks, format the lines so they wrap when necessary, etc)?
Can I seek some advice here if I want to incorporate some automated scaffolding in my MVC 2 web application what is the best way to go? Should I be considering: MVC 2 Templated Helpers, or Dynamic Data (with support for Entity Framework) Roughly speaking I want to layout my own website layout in MVC 2 but then:
for high usage use cases custom define the page, for CRUD maintenance pages hook the website menu to point to some scaffolded auto-generated pages (i.e. it is for this item that I ask the above question). I've had a look at the Dynamic Data pages where you can add/edit/delete all aspects of an EF entity, so it's this type of thing I'm after (e.g. have an Edit Person menu link that when click launches an auto maintenance page for Person)
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 in my laptop VS 2003, VS 2005 and VS 2008. I am making some SMS application in which I am using some DLL which need asp.net 3.5 so I am making application VS 2008. Now in my application I am using DAL and BLL method where in I am making .xsd file with TableAdapted from that I am making BLL files.
I added Formview in my aspx page configure it with Objectdatasource . IDE was not invoking the wizard for objectdatasource after lot finding. I got from some forum that after removing bin folder from application. It will start working. This was the first problem now I add gridview in my aspx page now and configure with Object data source. But when I go property builder of gridview I cannot see Edit Template, I can see only Empty template and Pager Template. Here my question this is new in VS 2008 as when i was working with VS 2005 I could see all Template. Next thing when change anything through property builder, I can see changes in the design view mode but I cannot see any changes in HTML source view. Again when I switch back to HTML source view to design mode all changes will go away. Why is it so !! For more info I will put my aspx, aspx.vb page code here.
I have VS 2008 Professional Edition.....I want to test a function like this:
public int getIdByName(string name) { var item=from x in DATAB where x.name=name select x.id; . . return idValue; }
now I test end I have:
[TestMethod()] public getIdByNameTest() { string name="Bob" int expected = 1; int actual; actual = ClassGET.getIdByName(name); Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual); Assert.Inconclusive("Verify the correctness of this test method."); }
The error in "test run" is:
Failed ......[Class]....... Test method threw exception: System.ArgumentException: The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration that is not for use with the EntityClient provider or thought is invalid

If VS 2008 and VWD 2008 are both installed on the same machine, will they both use the same Projects folder to keep my projects in?If so, can I open the projects and run them interchangeably with VS2008 and VWD 2008? This is the folder that is located at " User>Documents>Visual Studio 2008>Projects
I have upgraded a Visual Studio 2005 Web Site in a 32 bit server to Visual Studio 2008 maintaining the same 2.0 framework in a 64 bit server with Windows 2008 R2 Server. The Web Site has several class libraries.
After porting to Visual Studio 2008 2.0 Framework using the Upgrade Wizard, I found that I was unable to hit a break point in the Project code behind files while I was able to in the class libraries. The bin folder has the dlls and the corresponding pdb files for the class libraries. I did start the Web site as an Administrator and made sure whole bunch of IIS7 properties are properly set.
I tried to rebuild the solution as a Web Application in Visual Studio 2008 and gave up that approach as I faced hundreds of error messages pointing to missing references and namespaces inspite of adding whole lot of references and namespaces to the Web.
I have installed visual studio 2008 in my system.But my website is in Framework 2.0 and have a reports in it. i have opened my website in visual studio 2008 with the Framework built in 2.0. but many times when i debug it will give a version conflict error for reports as mentioned below.
"The type 'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer' exists in both 'c:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms9.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3aMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll' and 'c:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms8.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3aMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll"
Is there any way that I can get the list of All the available shortcut key options listed from within IDE itself in Visual Studio 2008/2010? Because every time I used to bing and find on web for that.

I'm trying to implement a custom filter template for all text based searches and running into problems constructing the query. I've been following the instructions posted on this blog but not sure how change the GetQueryable method to perform a WHERE columnAttribute LIKE '%something%'query. In the example on the blog the expression is an equality which works if the text I enter exactly matches the text in the database column.
At the moment I'm using the new QueryExtender feature along with the SearchExpression control but this requires creating several custom pages for all the tables I need text search functionality for. I would like to DRY this up by creating the custom filter template.
I am a student of HLC, I am learning Visual Basic, they sended me lots of books and a CD with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. I have problem with installing it. There is the error;: "Setup Failed. Use the following links to research the source of the failure: There were errors during setup. Although the components were installed successfully, some setup errors were detected. View error log

I all ready asked my tutor but he don't know how to make it work. There is no information on the web about this problem.
I've taken over an ASP.NET project and the previous dev used "dynamic" DSNs sprinkled throughout the application. These data sources are databound to several controls throughout the site.I'd prefer to use a system DSN that I would define on my dev machine and the production web server. This way if I need to change the location of the SQL database I can just change the system DSN on the server instead of modifying the code and recompiling the application in Visual Studio.What is the easiest way to list all these dynamic DSNs that are in use in this web site project in Visual Studio 2008 and modify them to use a system DSN instead?
