Last year, we had installed Visual Studio 2008 and I had started to develop some web sites with ASP.NET 3.5.
Now I was told that our Intranet will be moved to SharePoint and built on MOSS. I've started to look
at our SharePoint server and learn how to create ASP.NET 3.5 Web Parts for SharePoint site.
What I learned about the Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 is that it consists of SQL Server, ASP.NET 2.0,IIS, etc. I don't quite understand what does this really means, especially for ASP.NET 2.0? I know on our Windows Server 2003, the WSS 3.0 was installed. We have SQL Server 2005 installed at our Intranet Web server,where I developed my ASP.NET 3.5 web pages.
My question are:
1. To create ASP.NET Web parts with WSS 3.0, I have to create ASP.NET 2.0, not ASP.NET 3.5?
2. My co-workers told me they don't need Visual Studio when creating SharePoint aspx page.
Is it true that with SharePoint, we don't need Visual Studio any more? I think creating SharPoint WebParts they have to use Visual Studio. Am I right?
I used to deploy developed web parts to a remote sharepoint site by Build->Deploy menu inside Visual Studio 2008 months ago ( I am not a regular web part developer). My network engineer also asked me how to deploy web parts without stsadm commands. anyway now I can't. Visual Studio keeps complaining that the specified site doesn't have sharepoint site contained. "No SharePoint Site exists at the specified URL."
After googling, it is said web parts can't be deployed to remote sharepoint sites from visual studio. Only can to local site. However I did it before. Visual Studio 2008 service pack or hot fix made this feature (remote deploy) removed? Or is there any workaround?
I would like to create and deploy an ASP.NET web form on SharePoint server which can create document in SharePoint list (or library). Since I'm not experienced in both these technologies so would appreciate if someone guides me to the right tool. Should I use Visual Studio or SharePoint designer ? Also, I was reading an article on MSDN about "Deploying ASP.NET Web Applications in the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 _layouts Folder". Is it the best practise or should I go with webpart/solution based deployment?
I want to use a source control in VS2010, I know my best bet is TFS, but at the moment TFS(can't afford ). As i understand TFS is the new VSS_2005(can afford)Can VSS 2005 be use as a source control for VS 2010 solutions/projects?
I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.
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.
Im working on a website project with Visual Studio 2010 from 2 different computers (home & work). In Dreamweaver Im used to FTP to upload/download files to/from a webserver to syncronice my files on the current computer Im working on.What is best option in Visual Studio 2010 to sync project files between home & work computers? I have seen there is a built in FTP, but seems only it can upload files, limited functionality?
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 am building master page in visual studio 2005 and I have placed contentplaceholder into between <head> and </head> tag of master page, but in source view of visual studio 2005, I am getting error that says "unrecognized tag prefix or device filter" how do i get rid of this error or is this bug in visual studio 2005

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
How can I ensure that web application converted from 2003 visual studio to 2008 visual studio
to have two files as it is when create a web file in visual studio 2008.The web application is in Chsarp. I have converted these filesfrom 2003 to 2008 but they still have three files each.
Every time I press F1 to view the online Help it launches in the Opera browser. I really dislike Opera and only have it installed on my PC for testing purposes. How do I change it to IE?
I run the start debugging option...it runs successfully. but still is shows start debugging option is shown in the Visual studio 2005 IDE. And one more problem is ::I applied break points in one page and run the application. but those break points are not detected....
