View 2 RepliesI am developing a C# VS 2008 / SQL Server 2005 Express website application. I have tried some of the fixes for this problem but my call stack differs from others. And these fixes did not fix my problem. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this?

We currently have a DB in SQL 2005 and would like to convert it to SQL 2008 taking advantage of all the new features (if there are any) in SQL 2008. Would like to know the best approach or if there are any tools which can convert all the tables/views/storeprocs etc to 2008 specifications...
View 6 RepliesI am not sure if I am using the correct terms. But it is possible to create an asp.net website at least three ways.
1) Where the form and code behind code are in the same file
2) Where the form and code behind code are in separate files, resulting in 2 files for each page (*.aspx, and *.aspx.vb)
3) Where you upon the site up as a project, but insert web pages. This approach results in three files per page (*.aspx, *.aspx.designer.vb, and *.aspx.vb)
My problem is I have a site which is done the third way and I would like to switch it to the second. Is there any automated way to do this, or do I have to do it page by page. What I can do is Open a new site with Create Website, insert a page, and then do some copy and paste.
In my application (asp.net) I am uploading the video and storing the video in databaselike videoname,videotitle,dateofuploded these are the fields. My problem is when I am displaying that video I want to display the date like '2 days ago' or ' one month ago' or 'one year ago'
How can I write the function for converting the date into that process.
Take example of youtube. On that site below the video display the date when it was uploaded.
i have images, i need a code that convert the images in to editable word.for example .gif image .can nay one give me sample code.
View 11 RepliesI have a project that I developed in VS2005 and that has been put into VSS. I am trying to "get" it on a new machine and convert it to VS2008 because that is what is installed on the new machine. I am having problems with it that I think originate in its working folder. So my basic question is, when you try to work with a solution that's in VSS should you maintain the same folder structure that it had when it was originally checked in? I'm not particularly happy with its original structure because it goes on and on seven levels deep, and I wanted to just cut it down to C:ProjectsResNew, but if that's what it takes to get it to work, I'll do it.

View 3 RepliesI have a solution with multiple projects in it that I converted to 2010 (kept the 3.5 framework). When it imported/converted the XSD files, the file structure went from:
dd1149.xsd
dd1149.xsc
dd1149.xsc
dd149.Designer.vb
TO
dd1149.xsd
dd1149.xsc
dd1149.xsc
The designer file is now missing, that had my constructor in it. Obviously, the project won't compile as it says "Type dd1149 is not defined" Why does it not include it with 2010, is there something I'm missing?
I am reading a dataset/datatable where I have a a varchar field (25) that represents date and time in following format (this is orginally a db timestamp format): 2010-05-03 08:48:00.000 Prior to binding the datatable to a gridview I need to show date time as: 5/3/2010 8:48:00. How can I easily convert to the needed format?
View 4 RepliesI have been doing some research on this topic, and I've come to the conclusion that it's a terrible spot to be in.
Basically, through "business logic," as it was called in another thread, we have a website utilizing both VB and C# throughout. We are running production code with several developers without any kind of source control. All project updating and propagation is done through file system copies, backups and overwrites. I recently stepped into this mess and thought it would be a good idea to implement source control. After installing and setting up Team Foundation Server 2010, I quickly discovered it is impossible to add a website to TFS source control, mainly due to its "projectless" nature. After attempting to create a web project, I now understand the impossibility of creating one assembly from aspx pages compiled from different languages.
My question then becomes, what is the best solution? The vast majority of the code is haphazard (to say the least), so creating two separate projects would be difficult in that there would be a huge amount of reference updating that would need to be done, and the deployment aspect might be nightmarish, though I'm not too sure about that. Consolidating to one language, while everyone seems to agree would be nice, would probably require months of time and thousands of lines of rewritten code. The final alternative seems to be simply putting off adding the project to source control altogether, until a solution for the two-language dilemma can be addressed.
Is it possible to just add the source files to source control? Or would that be more of a hassle? Has anyone ever tried to create one website out of two projects with separate languages? How difficult is that to deploy and maintain? Is our best bet simply to consolidate to one language?
I wish there was a better mechanism for handling multiple languages in a web project. It doesn't seem like a completely outlandish idea (itis supported in web sites), but it seems like it's being treated like it's at the fringe of web application development...
The title says it all. We had a working website built on framework 2.0 with membership. After we converted it to framework 3.5 using the Visual Studio automated conversion mechanism by opening it in Visual Studio 2008 and following the prompts, the membership system is now broken. Dammit, all we wanted was some newer AJAX. The rest of the site appears to be functioning fine, but when it comes to logging in or managing security on the site, it fails.
So the errors we receive when trying to manage security via the built-in admin pages, seem pseudorandom; everything from 'user cannot log in to database' to 'this file is being used by another process' to 'there's a problem with your datastore'.

I have my existing web site developed using ASP.NET.
It's college management system. Now I need to redevelop it on MVC2.
What all changes do I need to do?
I am little bit aware of MVC and have done some exercises also.
Thing I know is I can keep my database intact but there will be massive changes at other places.
WHat will be the better way to minimize the changes?

View 2 RepliesI recently converted a web application of ours to VS 2008 so that we could upgrade to .net 3.51 framework.
I have been making some changes to the layout, to take advantage of ajax and minimize the amout of data needing to be loaded and the number of postbacks processed.
The problem I am having is when I try to save the data.
The page postback calls a local Sub which reads the form data into local variables and then passes these variables to our assembly.
The primary assembly has 70 parameters which are used to populate one of the tables in our database.
So I have 70 local variables just for this call plus a variable reference to the output of the assembly which contains a property for each of the columns in the associated database record.
There are some additional assemblies called to update other tables so, in all there are 121 locally defined variables in this sub.
Bear in mind that this sub is called from the page load event which has 93 of it's own locally declared variables.
Here is what is happening, when I run the code I am using cdate() to convert the value of a text box to datetime and pass it to my assembly. When doing so it throws a conversion error.
So I created a local datetime variable and converted the value of the control to the datetime and passed the variable to the assembly.
No more error, but the proc did not save the data as it was supposed to.
What I noticed in debugging, on the locals tab, is that every local datetime variable displayed the following message:
Cannot evaluate expression because we are stopped in a place where garbage collection is impossible, possibly because the code of the current method may be optimized
I also noticed that on the watch window the same message would display if I attempted to reference any of the datetime controls on the form.
There are only 3 variables and 3 datetime controls that appear to be affected. the controls are all html input boxes. Every other variable and control on the form behaves normally and I can see their values while debugging, it is just these six that are exhibiting the problem, whats more is that they are not new controls to the form.
I have developed a asp.net website.Now what i want is that it should be multilingual.I don't want a page to be multilingual.I want the whole website to be multilinual.I used the Culture settings as
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("zh-HK"); System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("zh-HK");
This is the setting i used for the culture but my website didn;t got converted.I searched a lot on google but not able to find any solution.Also the resource files process a bit too hard Please let me know how i can achieve this.Using some free third party tool or some jquery or some javascript code or some asp.net implementations which i can complete quickly.
I got this error in a project I did a while back. I think this was a web site project that i converted to a web app project. This was a while ago. This is an app I'm trying to run on my local machine. I'm not using IIS.
Does anyone know what this means?
Error 2
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

My client gave me this web solution, in it various projects, and the problematic project (for me) is the Web Site.
I've copied the code to test web server (2008) and installed VS 2008 so I could step through the code on the server due to some weirdness.
Anyhow, when I open the solution locally on my personal computer, it runs on Cassini [URL] because I'm not on a server OS. However, when I run the app on the web server, when I hit F5, it runs oh [URL].
When I'm running the code on the server, how do I point the web site to use Cassini?
i've converted a asp.net website to a web-application.
in the website i have some custom classes (folder App_Code) which where encapsulated in a namespace.
when i try to build the web-application i get the compiler error type or namespace not found for my own classes.
e.g.
my class in App_Code/helper/ui/UIHelpers.cs:
[Code]....
at compile time i get the error-message type or namespace 'MYAPP' not found..
After following the instructions in Scott Guthrie's blog for converting a web site to a web application project, I am getting many, many errors. Most are either 'Name <control> is not declared.' or 'Type <type> is not defined.' And most, but not all of these errors are in the same .vb page.
Does anyone know the best way to fix this?
is it possible to do manual formatting of the controls (length, placement, width etc..) on the web form..?
right now when we start VS 2008 and if we place any control then it automatically sets the left side and top of that control as per the previous control.. is there any way to make it work link VS 2003 which is manual and free to work..
