everything else displays correctly

drop down menu?

2012-07-17T16:46:41.903-04:00

i am trying to get the menu to have sub-items. i set the maximum sub-drop-down items to "1" and now i am able to have working submenus. however......can anyone explain to me how to set the background image and/or color for the subitems? it is inheriting the background image for the entire menu control itself:

i'm assuming i need a new entry in the CSS somewhere but i don't know how to set it in the html table that houses the menu items.

Visual Studio 2010 and Small Business Starter Kit problem.

2012-05-05T17:14:08.6-04:00

Hi and thanks for reading this. I have downloaded all the Starter Kits and installed them in Visual Studio 2010 Prof. Apart from the Classified Adds Starter Kit, with which I can choose as a new Web Site and compile and run it, none of the other kits will allow me to create a new Web Site. When I select them an error occurs. Strangely enough, if I unzip the other Starter Kits, I am able to open them as a Web Site, compile and run them. Does anyone know how to allow any of the erroring Starter Kits to be used in Visual Studio 2010?

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate.

Thanks

General question about starter kits

2012-06-12T19:36:37.573-04:00

Hello

I am new to the asp.net. I use asp.net with vb. I just started building a business application.

Even though I can deal with the coding, I am not good with design of the web site (as bad as my english lol. )

Now, I see there are starter kits that are supported with asp.net web developers and others like orchard cms application.

So, I am wondering, is it a good idea to work with one of these starter kits to have a design and code foundation. Then on top of these CMS like applications I have to build my application.

I hope I was clear with my question. Ultimately I don't want to deal with web site design except coding the application side of it.

Thanks in advance.

A few questions

2012-04-04T14:09:47.123-04:00

Hi All,

I have a few brief questions regarding ASP.Net and the small business starter kit. I am well aware that these questions may have been answered in the past, however I have had great difficulty finding anything so I would appreciate either answers or a reference to a location where I can find the answers. Thanks a lot

1) How do you add/edit/remove links from the page navigation?

2) The page is centred by default - how do you left or right align the page?

3) How to change background Images?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Luke

Step by step tutorial on how to use small business starter kit

2012-02-28T13:55:13.77-05:00

I've downloaded and installed starter kits on my Win7 Ultimate machine. But I cannot find it on my machine. Where (which directory) is it installed? Is there any tutorial or primer that provides step-by-step instructions on how to run starter kit? I am a C++ programmer and do not know ASP.net programming. But I am building a website and like to see what starter kit looks like in action, just like I run an full-UI Win32 application that do nothing concrete.

Cant install Starter Kit with Express 2010

2010-06-24T18:50:04.32-04:00

I am trying to use the slamm business starter kit but cant get it to install properly using Web Developer 2010 Express. Originally got the error Exception from HRESULT: 0x80041FEB when trying to use a create a new web site using this template. I then tried the fix shown at http://forums.asp.net/t/1553372.aspx This seemed to allow me to get further but when it then prompted that this was created in an earlier version of ASP.NET and do I want to upgrade to version 4 it produced the error Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component . It then created a site but when I run the code it just seems to ignore any CSS I put into the resulting site.

Has anyone sucsessfuly used Small Business Starter kit on Web Developer 2010 Express?

I am running on Windoes 7 64 bit if that makes any difference.

How to change the Absolute formatting of the Small Biz Starter site?

2011-09-01T21:25:55.42-04:00

I have modest ASP skills but really crappy CSS skills so I am stumped on something.

In using the Small Biz starter kit, I'd like to replace the site name with an actual logo image. When I do that I find that the rest of the site does not shift/move down and that the logo I just added ends underneath or behind the top of the main part of the site. How do I force the main body of the website down? I am guessing some combo of master page and css but I cannot see it. Can anyone help?

Cheers

John

social networking website

2008-09-05T02:30:25.68-04:00

Is anyone aware of any starter kits from asp.net or software similar to Community Server that I can use to help me start building a social networking site?

The website is already established, it is built with ASP Classic. At the moment their are no User Accounts. So, I will need to build them from scratch.

The requirements are an application which will allow users to create profiles, post their own articles, interact with other members, comment on other members work, as well as a rating and voting system.

Rather then starting from scratch, I am looking for some sort of starting kit or a package which I can modify to meet my needs.

Thanks!
