VS2012 unable to open projects mapped to SkyDrive

2013-06-18T13:19:45.913-04:00

I'v mapped my SkyDrive to my desktop. I'm trying to have VS2012 open my project that's in the SkyDrive mapped to my computer and it's not working. VS2012 would see no folder or files listed in the mapped drive. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Visual studio 2010 Design view responds too late..takes 30 seconds to 2 mins

2013-06-18T09:28:30.933-04:00

Hi all,

I have Visual studio 2010 installed on my PC since one and half year. Earlier it used to work properly but recently since last 2 months, the design view is not working properly. whenever i make change in any page using Design view, it takes a lot of time to respond again..sometimes visual studio crashes also. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated?

VS2012 Freezes

2013-06-11T16:43:59.307-04:00

Firstly, I don't have a great computer, so that doesn't help the situation. But every once in a while (about once per day), my VS2012 becomes locked up. No buttons are clickable, and it still is "running" not "not responding" in Task Manager. I don't know what is causing this hiccup, but it happens consistently. Has anyone else encountered this, and is there any way to avoid this... kind of annoying if you have unsaved files open.

VS2012: Website needs to be rebuilt twice

2013-06-11T14:38:57.747-04:00

Was over on the Visual Studio support centre and they directed me here.

Running VS 2012 with all the latest updates. I think this used to work fine in VS2012 before any updates but it definitely worked fine in VS2010.

Basically, I have a website which references assemblies from another class library project of mine. If I update that assembly, I usually just rebuild my website and the latest version of the assembly was pulled through. I can't remember with VS2012, but in VS2010 I could simply just click Start or Build, Rebuild wasn't even required. Anyway, if I rebuild the website in my version of VS2012, it takes just as long as a normal rebuild, but with no effect. After rebuilding a second time, then it works.

I realise that I can click the Refresh button on the website references page to get the same effect, but further to the problem above, what I've also found is that when I place controls on a webform, the code-behind does not always pick the controls up. Then I need to recompile the site twice before it does.

Same happens with errors that have already been fixed. Only disappears after 2nd rebuilt.

Error Under VS2012 WEB Developer

2013-06-17T15:24:05.263-04:00

I have a WEB development that works fine under Windows 7 with VS2010. I'm trying to upgrade it to VS2012 but keep running into this. Runs fine under VS2010 but not VS2012. Any suggestions?

he source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

VS 2012 Startup Time

2013-06-17T18:11:47.327-04:00

Hi,

Generally my VS takes around 45 seconds to 120 seconds to startup completely. Is this the norm for other users? Not the fastest of computers, but in the end if this is higher than usual, are there some generally tips/tweaks that can be done to try to lower this startup time but a nice chunk, if any?

Thanks

How to stop VS 2012 from displaying error list when ther are just warnings during file edit?

2013-06-15T23:48:22.3-04:00

<div class="votenumber" style="display: block;">Is there a way to stop Visual Studio 2012 from popping up the Error List when there are only warnings? I am writing a .resx file for localization of my sitemap and every time I put .title in my Resource's Name column it generates a warning which then pops up the stupid error list. Is there a way from stopping this stupid list from popping up on only warnings during normal editing of a file. I have tried turning off the Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General -> Always show Error List if Build finishes with errors. I have even set the build output to quite but that does not affect it either since these only affect builds and I am just editing not building.</div>

2013-06-15T17:52:38.573-04:00

I have a web application project in VS2012 and I am looking for documentation for all the options you get when you right click on the project and chose properties. I tried searching google but since I am not sure what this page is called so I could not really find anything. Can anyone tell me what this properties page is officaly called or point me to documentation of each each section's options are and what they do?

VS 2012 Update 2 - precompiling ASP.NET 3.5 site problems

2013-06-06T14:40:39.45-04:00

Hi, hoping someone has a solution to this one....

I have an ASP.Net 3.5 site that has had no problems with precompiling on VS 2005, 2008 and 2012, however precompiling after Update 2 for 2012 just won't work - VS2012 goes through the motions, files are created, but those files, when copied to the live environment kick up the dreaded 'sys is undefined' error.

A colleague who hasn't installed the update can precompile the exact same solution, without any errors being created.

I realise Update 2 has introduced more control over the publish process, but I'm obviously missing some setting that is automatically included pre-update2.

Help!

Fault - VS 2008 IIS7 Debugging - "The IIS worker process for the launched URL is not currently running"

2008-08-25T11:11:50.067-04:00

"Unable to start debugging on the web server. The IIS worker process for the launched URL is not currently running"

Hi All,
I'm at the end of my tether, I have tried everything I can think of. File permissions, visual studio project settings but nothing I do allows me to debug from visual studio by hitting F5.

I can debug if I attach to the w3wp processes running, however this is truely a pain and I really miss hitting the F5 key.

Windows Authentication is enabled through the IIS console

Hitting F5 causes the above message to appear in a dialog and the Security Event Log has an entry "An account failed to log on." with the failure information "Status 0xc000006d, Sub Status: 0x0"

This is very likely to be a simple thing I have missed out, Can anyone offer some pointers for things I could try?

Thanks in advance,
David

Unable to edit (CSS) file

2010-08-05T14:33:41.237-04:00

I'm getting this error: "Unable to edit file .... The style sheet must be part of the current project and the project must be a web site or web application project." I have tried it with the CSS file defined in the Site.Master file as relative (,,/,,/xx.css) and full path (e.g. c:\....) I get the same error in both cases and I am unable to edit the CSS file.

ASP.NET runtime error: The master file cannot be processed because the code directory has not yet been built

2013-06-13T19:49:37.85-04:00

Hi All,

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate version and am seeing the above warning in all my .aspx files. The code runs just fine, no issues at all.

It just seems to be not recognized/compiled by VStudio. Please find attached the directory structure and my entire web.config file. My master file does reference UserControls, but I removed them to test and the issue remains. I have also tried closing all files, building, rebuilding, restarting VStudio in all orders possible and multiple times.

Please advise. Thanks!

deploying web application to Windows 2003 server

2013-06-13T22:55:41.703-04:00

Good Day,

I have created a web application in Visual Studio Web Express 2010 and it runs as intended on my local PC. When I publish it, by way of the "File System", to a virtual directory created on the server, I get a crapload of Web.config file errors. The server is running Windows 2003 with the 3.5 framework. I do know I have the 4.0 Framework on my development PC. Besides installing the 4.0 framework on the server, is there anything else that needs to be done?

thanks

How to get Helvetica font in Visual Studio Express 2010 or 2012

2013-06-07T08:43:49.75-04:00

I am building site with large text that is very important to design. Arial is close but I need Helvetica.

I know when select arial in Visual Studio Express you get 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' but I think Helvetica is only a second go to option if browser doesn't support Arial - you don't actually get Helvetica as first option.

I need Helvetica as the font and only Arial as second option.

Font is for use in Label and ListBox controls.

Does anyone know how to get in Visual Studio?

Thank you.
