I have a web page that has 21 errors all pointing to the same place and each error is the same as this first one::

What does it mean?

Sessions and strings

mjooste1 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:16:05 GMT

Hi I use sessions and stings to redirect from one page to another. I would like to be able to type the page with the string into the browers url like this http://localhost:2132/Dental-ladies/Pages/Contact/Default.aspx?=W and then it must show only the content that the session W must show. Can anyone help me with this thanks

The name xxx Does Not Exist in the Current Context

Tepi — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 20:49:03 GMT

I add a label to a page and set its ID to LabelEditMessage and debug, and there it is. Then in the code behind page (C#) I add a line of code LabelEditMessage.Text="test"; If I build, the build succeeds, but if I press the debug button it does another build that fails and tells me that LabelEditMessage Does Not Exist in the Current Context. Intellisense knows about it, and I use that to enter the reference to be sure I am not mispelling.

So I tried using FindControl, and that fails with a null reference. It is there, I can see it, but Visual Web Developer refuses to acknowledge it's existence in the code behind file. If I remove the code reference it builds fine and I can see the label with its default value when i debug, but I cannot reference the label in code.

I'm stumped. It's such a simple thing that I have done many times before. I just don't know what else to try.

I had an almost identical problem once before in the page load event trying to set the ConnectionString property of an SqlDataSource. I tried everything I could think of for days. Then one day I deleted a validator element and it suddenly started working, and I replaced the validator and it kept on working, so I dismissed it as a fluke. But now it is back, only this time with a label rather than an SqlDataSource. Naturally, I deleted the validator element from the page again, but this time it did not make the problem go away.

I'm stuck.

Anybody else ever observed a similar problem?

Update SQL database in smallbusiness

greenwald — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:19:45 GMT

I Hi,

I need to get my web page up and running fast so I thought I would use the smallbusiness start kit.

I have managed to update all static text but now I'm trying to update the database and it seems that the changes does not appear on the webpage.

I've opened the database by double klicking on it in web developer 2008. Is this the correct way of changing the database content ?

Thanks

Exclude Folder from Website in Visual Studio

jbardrof — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 00:19:26 GMT

For projects such as forms apps and class libraries you can exclude folders which reside in the directory from the project. That menu option does not seem to exist when you create a website in VS 2005, is there any way to do it?

thanks!

Help getting VWD to recognize AJAX controls

cyoung311 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 03:31:15 GMT

This note also posted in AJAX Control Toolkit...

After much hassling and reloading AJAX and VWD 2005 Express, I'm back to having everything loaded correctly...I thought. I'm trying to build an example from a book and the .cs has the following code for a ConfirmButtonExtender example:

protected void gvItemsOnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            ((ConfirmButtonExtender)e.Row.FindControl("ConfirmButtonExtender2")).TargetID =
                ((LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("btnDelete")).ID;
        }
    }

When I build the page I get an error in VWD saying:

'ConfirmButtonExtender' does not contain a definition for 'TargetID'

If I go to the .aspx page and go into source view I can add the 'TargetID' field from Intellisense but I can't address that field from the .cs page. I'm assuming there is a config issue with VWD. How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance

How do I connect to MySQL from vwd Express

dkperez1 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:59:18 GMT

Using vwd express and MySQL. I want to connect using the database explorer so I can use vwd as an actual visual development tool...

HOW do I make this connection? NOT in the vb or other 3GL code, but actually in the vwd tool.

OR, if I HAVE to make the connection using the brute force method in code, how do I use the database explorer so I can take

advantage of what vwd can do?

"This type of page is not served"-- error on asp files

Texrat — Wed, 21 Dec 2005 17:54:46 GMT

I'm trying to run an ASP file (rather than ASP.NET) from my server. When I try to test it using the browser preview in VWD, I get the following error:

"This type of page is not served"

It's my understanding that there is a handler setting *somewhere* that precludes ASP files from being run in the VWD debug environment. Skipping past the fact that I don't understand why, where do I find this restriction setting and how do I go about changing it? In some cases I'm limited to exported ASP files based on the fact that Microsoft's own Office products haven't fully caught up to .NET and attempts at converting the pages over have failed.

Thanks,

Correct Event after record is saved to SQL for updating Detailsview fields

webadm — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:31:22 GMT

I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and writing Visual Basic code to handle my events. I have designed a feedback input form using the Detailsview with a defaultmode of input. The form set some intial values for the fields when the form is opened. What I want to do is after the records is saved in the SQL database and the new blank form comes up is to set the default values for several of the fields. I have tried calling the routine that sets the initial values in the DetailsView1_ItemInserted event

but the default values are not set for the fields in the detailsview when I do a call SetDefaultvalues() subroutine. What event should I be placing this call statement in so that it will set the default values after the records has been save and the new blank input screen appears? If there some way to test for the condition that the record has been successful saved?

webadm — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:58:48 GMT

Can this done in the On Load event? What import references are required?

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server

matejkralik — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:55:36 GMT

I am creating asp.net forms authentication. When I run web site and there I try to create new user I get this error:

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:

The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:

If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.

Web Developer Express - help required

Gary Clutterbuck — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:50:56 GMT

Hi,

My organisation currently uses FrontPage 2003 and will shortly be moving to SharePoint. As the very limited database integration with Frontpage is particularly restrictive, I am looking to find an alternative product that will allow me to create data-driven pages that I can publish to our FrontPage intranet, but will also enable me to integrate with SharePoint next year.

Is the Web Developer Express suitable for this, or is there a better alternative product that meets my needs?

Thanks for any help or advice offered.

enable intellisense visual studio 2008

fatcat777 — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:19:35 GMT

Intellisense in my copy of Visual Studio 2008 has stopped working completely.

I go to Tools / Options / Text Editor / All Languages and have the following choices

Autolist members
Parameter information
Enable virtual space
Apply cut or copy ....
Line numbers
Enable single click URL navigation
Navigation Bar

all of which are checked.

According to MS I should have 3 check boxes to turn on/off intellisense. The only place I can find any reference to intellisense is with C# specific and here again, no choices appear for turning on/off intellisense.

What do I need to look for? Am I missing something in the environment?

I am using Visual Studio 2008, net framework 3.5 sp1 and code using VB with code behind pages.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Putting AJAX back in to VWD 2005 Express

cyoung311 — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:45:15 GMT

I've asked this question in the AJAX forum but never got a real answer to my dilemma. I downloaded and installed AJAX 2.0 then some time later AJAX 3.5. Somewhere along the line I added the 3.5 toolkit to VWD so I had 2 AJAX tabs in the toolbox. Using 3.5 caused a multiple reference error to occur so I deinstalled 3.5 and removed the toolkit tab from the VWD toolkit. I still had problems so I removed the AJAX bar from the toolkit and the problems went away.

The problem now is that I do not have an AJAX extensions toolbar (scriptmanager, panel, timer, etc.) and can't figure out to get them back short of unsintalling everything and starting from scratch. I can open the AJAX toolkit v2.0 site but it does not automatically add any of the toolbars like it would have if this was the first time opening the site.

How can I get the bars back into the VWD toolkit and also add the 2.0 extensions?

Empty Website Data Source windown

gtrfinger — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 03:43:53 GMT

Hi all,

I am Visual Web Developer user and facing a problem when I am creating a local report (.rdlc) file.

I am using Business objects as the Data Source for this report. It was working perfectly until all the items in the Website Data Source window suddenly "disappeared". The "Add New Data Source" button on this window is also disabled. Now the window is just like a blank box only. And I can't continue working with the report file like this...

I have tried undoing what I did before but it does not help at all...

Any reason for this to happen? There is no sign or something at least indicating what is wrong.

Please help.

Thanks

ps: found a similar thread in this forum but not solved

QUestions on running a web page in debug mode

cyoung311 — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:01:37 GMT

Please excuse me if this has been answered to death here but I'm at the hair pulling stage. I have clicked the "Build Web Site", "Build Web Page" and also clicked on the Green arrow (F5).

After pressing F5, I received some errors saying that some table names were incorrect so I killed the debug session and then fixed the names. Next time I use F5 I get the same error message but now the source code isn't available. What gives? Do I need to flush something or reload a library or rebuild or something? I've even retstarted VWD 2005 Express but it is still hung on an old version of code or something.

Thanks in advance for any help...

How to get fresh copy of dll in VWD 2005 Express?

cyoung311 — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 04:30:47 GMT

This one has had me going most of the day. I have a Visual C# Express app creating a dll that I use in my Visual Web Developer web site. From what I understand, I build the Class Library in Visual C# which makes a dll file. I then copy the dll file to the /bin folder of my web app file and then build the web site. Everything seems to be inorder so far. but then I update the Class library and rebuild it. The stuff that shows up in the VWD web site is the old dll stuff; none of the updates appear. I've copied dlls from both the DEBUG and RELEASE folders of the class library but neither seem to change the behavior of the VWD reference.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance...

Develop .net 1.1 application with VWD 2005?

Henne — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:49:25 GMT

Hello,

i developed my application in .net 2.0 to find out that our servers are running on 1.1 and now want to debug my whole application with 1.1 as I do not have the time to rewrite it.

Can I change the debugging version in the visual web developer so that it shows me what content is not valid in 1.1?

Thank you for your help,

Problem with SqlDataSource - Generating insert, update and delete statements

ilaizm — Tue, 29 Mar 2005 05:57:34 GMT

I am having a problem when creating an SqlDataSource. When configuring the datasource I create a new connection and that works fine. I select the table and required columns. I also want to generate the insert, update and delete statements. So i press the Advanced button and a new window pops up (Advanced SQL generation Options) both tick boxes (Generate Insert, Update, and Delete statements and Use optimistic concurrency ) are shaded and cannot be ticked.

Is there something wrong i'm doing?
