Web Forms :: How To Add Themes/UserControls Via A Second Web Project / DLL To An Existing One
Jan 28, 2011
I was trying to add a Theme and some UserControls to a existing ASP.NET Web Project (nopCommerce) via a Second Web Project (which is added as an virtual Directory). But this did not work in my Configuration and I did not know if this is even possible.
The Reason why I want to seperate my Code from the nopCommerce project is for easyer upgrading to a new Version, and to handle adaptations for different shops efficient.
I'm trying create unit testing for an existing website project (not web application project). I cannot access my under test classes unless I use accessor. However, if I use accessor, I have problem to initiate an object with passing arguments. I only want to create unit tetsing for App_Code. After searching web, and I found that I'd better to create a web application project using my current existing website project. From solution explorer, add new project ->using existing website. My questions is: what impact will have for my current website to create the new project? Should I just convert my current website to web application? If do that, will it cuase problems on my website? I am new on asp.net, still learning..
I have the following list of projects WebUI (WebSite) , DataAccess (ClassLibrary) , LogicLayer(ClassLibrary). Those of the project are purposively crated separately.But my scenario is, need to create only one solution file, then add all of the above projects under this solution file. So that i can be easiy interacted and changes can be made by opening solution file only instead of opening each project individually.
Simply all of the layer projects are under one roof means one solution. I tried it by adding solution first, then i added already existed project into this. But once after added already existing project the solution icon vanished by showing the icon of recently added project. By this way I could not add another project into this section too.Hope this is the way the basic real-time projects are created; to achieve the centralized control over architecture based projects.
I'm working on an existing web project. All of the classes are in a seperate folder as vb files. I need to modify one to include a delete method. I think I can insert the delete method, my question is how do I update the project to include the modified class. I think that all of the classes are compiled into the project as a .dll which I don't know how to modify. I assume I need to modify the source vb file for the class and recompile?
I have used .net framework 4.0 to design my web project I want to improve some features on my web site and I decided to use MVC in my project.
I research about mvc I found out System.Web.Routing in .net framework 3.5 is wrapped by System.Web in .net framework 4.0.
In the other side in my host environment I have IIS 7.0 with all necessarily handlers mapped to .aspx and some other extension like .cshtml and support them.
So I think I have all thing for mvc migration. my question is :
Is it possible to move mvc by configure web.config and make some structure for content, view and controller classes but don't change any asp.net pages and configuration like appcode and appdata which I had before in my asp.net application.
Note, I don't want to change or update my old application to mvc I want to add some mvc controllers class and view to my existing asp.net project to use mvc functionality.
I created a ASP.NET project which calls a DAL class I wrote, to retrieve data to display on the page, most of the heavy lifting is in the DAL class. As you can see, it pretty straightforward, although I do have some minor validation code in my aspx page. how can I convert this project into a MVC pattern?
I know you can add an existing item(s), but is there a way to add an Existing folder (and contents) to a project? It sucks without this option. I need to add a folder that has many folders and a lot of content.
how do I change the view engine from aspx to razor in an existing project? If I just change the file extension to cshtml I always get "The controller for path '/path/About' was not found or does ..."
In my asp.net project currently i have business logic and and data access code in two sub folders(BLL,DAL) which are itself located web site project's app_code folder. I need to segregate them to two separate projects(one project for business layer and one project for Data access code).
How can I maintain connection strings necessary to Data access project which are currently in web.config file?(i.e if I choose Class library template for creating DAL and BLL projects) How can I maintain various other web.config key values that are currently used in BLL, DAL code files?How can I deploy compiled project? (ie Web site project I am currently deploying bin folder to Staging> production but this way where should i put DAL.dll and BLL.dll and relevant config files)
I'm left maintaining a proprietary codebase from a third-party vendor. The vendor is still sort of around, but support is limp. The site is ASP.NET.I have made some changes but I am having a really hard time getting IIS to compile these changes in. The bin/ directory has what I believe is a precompiled dll for the core classes. I've changed these but it doesn't recompile. I have tried deleting the dll but then the app refuses to build saying that the Global.asax can't inherit the type anymore, so I don't really know how to rebuild with changes.
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 think i understand the benefit of using themes but I want to be sure I understand correctly. I have previously used css to style my pages. I'm thinking about using themes in my next project. It provides a way to switch between the visual style of web controls and html elements. This could be done by allowing the user to choose a theme that is to their liking.
In one of my pages I use an usercontrol. The usercontrol has a textbox and a button on it. When someone adds text to the usercontrols textbox, I want to use the entered text in my page_init event. The problem is that in the page_init event, the textbox value is empty. How can I use the entered text in the page_init event?
I have several dynamic usercontrols that I want to load them in separete tab panles.but my problem is when the postback occures my usrecontrols diapeare.however I want to keep my usercontrols in each tab panle in each postback.I mention that I write code in c#.
We have multiple themes and based on the employee login we need to set the themes. And my themes folder including images, style sheets etc resides outside my application ie inside my master page project.When i refer the theme to it i am receiving an error stating its not valid theme.Cant we refer the external themes and set it page.theme?Any idea on this?
i am using Media Player in my site its working fine..but if i want to use themes where should i get those thems(professional xaml.,,et.,) ..is it possible to download..if yes provide the link
I have been working on a fun little project just to build my skills as an ASP.Net developer. I have learned quite a bit thus far, and don't normally post questions in forums. Google and the books I own generally do the trick for me. But for this question I would like some community input.
I am developing a simple blog platform in ASP.Net / C#. Eventually I hope it will basically be a clone of how Wordpress works. Again, this is mostly a learning project for myself and I realize there are many projects out there doing what I am doing in .Net.
Anyways, the question I want some input on is whether I should use themes or master pages to customize the look and feel of the site. As I understand it, a theme mostly just changes colors and such, but CAN do much more. Whereas a master page can easily change the look and feel of an entire site.
What are the pro's and con's of either route, and what would y'all recommend? I'm not really looking for code examples here, just input on what y'all would think is the best route to pursue.
What i have is a number of themes in a solution under the App_Themes directory. How can i read all these and bind them to a list so that when the user selects on it applies that theme to the web page ?
I am trying to apply themes to my site using profiles. So in my web.config file I need to write the code so that once that user logs in, then the theme of the site changes. Right now I just have color themes; yellow, blue, and orange.
If this isn't in the right section feel free to move it.
