Visual Studio 2008 ASP.NET Project Templates Missing
Jan 8, 2010
My desktop management team have just installed visual studio 2008 and there is no plugins for asp.net. Is this missed out while they installed visual studio? Can this to be installed again?
I wanted to create asp.net web site then wanted to add in the same solution new project Windows Control Library from the templates, but there is no templates for windows other than class library in visual web developer 2008. can i install templates or what can I do?
I'm new at ASP.NET. I'm trying to follow the first video tutorial in this link (Web Forms): [URL]. I see the guy using the same IDE as I use. He goes to File > New Project. I do not have the NEW PROJECT item in the FILE tab. Therefore I cannot follow the steps. I do not have the templates either for MVC or Web Forms Using: .NET framework 3.5
I am a 'newbie' to VWD and I am slowly working through the Basic Walkthrough Help files, and learning plenty along the way.However, when I tried to create a new database in the LINQ control walkthrough I found that the option to create a new database is missing, and further investigation has found that many other new item templates are missing.I am using a brand new machine with Windows 7 Ultimate and have enabled IIS and .NET from Control Panel-Programs-Turn Windows Features On-Off. I used the WPI to install all basic elements eg. IIS Components, SQL Server Express.The only 'new item templates' I have when I right-click the App_Data Folder and choose 'new item' are:-ADO.NET Data ServiceAJAX Enabled WCF ServiceDynamic Data FieldSQL Server DatabaseText FileXML FileDoes anyone know where I have gone wrong.
when i opened my Visual Studio 2010 i noticed that my ajax tab was missing from my toolbox and ajax control kit too.Then i noticed even that when i create new website, there is no web.config in it and it should be.WHAT IS GOIN ON???? :/
i downloaded a css templates from and attached the file from the downloded folder to my website folder and run the index.html icon with the visual studio now i dont know how to link this css template to my default page... i'm trying to link the css template to my default page through this link
I'm trying to create an ASP.NET Web Application, but this is all I see: I have confirmed that I have the full Visual Studio installed, not just Visual C#.Why can't I see ASP.NET Web Application in the "new project" list?
I can't seem to add any new web form files to my project. The option is missing from my Visual Web Developer Express 2008. I have other options, like adding a new class or Silverlight project, but nothing for web forms or master pages.
Today in one of the computer i installed visual studio 2010 professional edition, and successfully installed. But in my new project template "Asp.net MVC 2 website" is missing. Also I'm not able to open an already created MVC 2 project also. I'm also having MVC 2 installed with VS 2008 Sp1 in the same machine and is working fine. I uninstalled and installed again, the same is happening.
Visual Studio 2008 doesn't have item templates for ASP.NET Mobile Web Forms (which were previously available in Visual Studio 2003).What about VS2010? Same lack?
My VWD 2010 Express Edition appears to be missing the console application template. I have searched all the options under new project in VB and C# but it just is not there. I would like to add the console application template option .
I have a Silverlight site hosted in an asp page, it has been developed using vs2010 using .net 3.5 framework and silverlight 4. It all works on my dev box. However when I publish the site and get it deployed I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Moe.Tactical.Ttas.Web' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'Moe.Tactical.Ttas.Web' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.
I have checked that the ISS asp setting are using 2.0.50727, and that all my references are using that runtime also.
I am not sure what to do to work out what the missing dependencies are at this point (I don't have access to the deployment box, I will have to go and sit with a system admin).
I have downloaded a project from the internet called the SMS Source example. I wanted to open this project in VS2010, so a conversion wizard has popped up prompting for the conversion. But it has errors in converting.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. I googled for the same, it says u might not have selected crystal reports feature while installation of vs. I am sure that i had selected installtion type = Full/Complete.
So has it anything to do with vs service pack etc. I dont have VS 2008 SP1, but VS 2008. Or wud be better if we can add crystal report component explicitly. (kinda standalone installer for crystal reports and then it will automatically merge with VS.)
we can not add .mdf file to the project in vs2008 and sql server2008 when i am adding .mdf file its displaying an error message so it is not possible to add
I recently bought a new computer, so I want to copy the projects into current system which has visual studio. I have a project developed in VWD 2008. I copied the folder into a flash drive and copied it back into the new system.
Knowing the location, how I do import the project into new system?
I am moving from one laptop (WinXP Pro) to another (Win7 Pro). I have re-installed VS 2008 (which wasn't straightforward BTW).
On copying one of my web projects, now when I choose "view in browser" to look at my handiwork, Firefox now requires authentication. I use my windows username/password.
But IE8 doesn't require authentication.
I don't need authentication if I run VS 2008 as Administrator.
It's not a show-stopper, but it could prove irritating.
When working with an ASP.Net application, when I rebuild the solution, I would like it to automatically refresh the current version thats running through the integrated server in the browser.
I have looked through post build commands and afterbuild targeting but I have not been successful so far. I would like to do this straight through VS2008 if possible without needing to install anything extra, put if thats not possible then any solution would do!
I started working on an Asp.net MVC website using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 a while ago. Just recently, I managed to get my hands on a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional (through DreamSpark ). I installed the Service Pack, and also the MVC2 files for Visual Studio.
However, now I can't open my project anymore. When I try to open the solution in Visual Studio, it tells me that the project type is not supported. Does this mean that I have to resort to using VWD Express again? Is there perhaps some way that I can edit the project file so that it will load and compile correctly?
Note: I installed MVC2 through the Web Platform Installer, and it says that it installed successfully. However, I notice that MVC references in my unit-test project don't seem to be resolved either - is this perhaps because MVC2 isn't actually installed properly?
In a Web Application project in VS08, how do you create an assembly? E.g. you derive a class based on HtmlGenericControl to form your own div, override the ClientId and UniqueId properties, so as not to get screwed up id's on the client-side, and then you want to use/reference this control in an aspx page.
refer to David Lively's answer (c# control names) regarding the same thing. I have tried his solution but I keep getting "could not load assembly file".
