Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio .NET 2002

Can't open my VS2003 project: The project you are trying to open is a Web project. You need to open it by specifying its URL path.

brgdotnet — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 16:54:27 GMT

Hello. I am using visual studio 2003. I am trying to open a visual studio 2003 project that was written a few years ago using visual studio 2003. Currently the project resides in the virtual directory named Inetpub\wwwroot.

My problem is that I am not able to open the project. When I do try and open the project, I get the following error message:

The project you are trying to open is a Web project. You need to open it by specifying its URL path.

I don't know what is going on here? Someone please help me out. Note that I have tried two different ways to open the project without any success:

1.) Opening VS 2003. In the IDE I select "File Open Project". I then select the visual studio project file for the project named "CalculateMtg.csproj "

2.) In file explorer I double click on the file "CalculateMtg.csproj "

I would really appreciate some help.

Developing VS .NET 2003 Web Apps in Windows 7

mshepus — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:07:50 GMT

Is it possible to configure Windows 7 to be able to develop web applications with DotNet 2003? I got some "incompatible" error messages when installing. Now when I try to open a web app I get the following error: "Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application. THe likeliest problem is that required components are not installed on the local Web Server. Run Visual Studio .NET setup and add the Web Development component.

Anybody know any articles that explain what I need to do to get this to work?

Thank you,

MIke

Using DotFuscator Community Edition with ASP.NET

markdotnet — Tue, 22 Jun 2004 15:47:55 GMT

Howdy folks -

I have been using DotFuscator Community Edition to try to obfuscate my code-behind code that is compiled into a .DLL. I've been able to use DotFuscator on the DLL without a problem and it makes a perfectly nice obfuscated DLL assembly after building.

The problem arises when you want to use this with ASP.NET. Since the functions/objects are renamed, the .ASPX web pages can't find the code-behind and raise errors, such as:

* Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'XXX.content'. (where XXX is the name of the project and content refers to content.aspx).

So, then I check "content" to be left out of the renaming process and it raises an error about a dropdown population function on the page:

* Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'ASP.content_aspx' does not contain a definition for 'selProduct_Changed'

I scoured the web, finding some notes that publicly-accessible classes and functions need to be left out of the renaming process for them to work. However, it seems that you need to completely disable "Renaming" in order for a DotFuscated DLL to work at all with ASP.NET.

Questions:
1. Is there a way to make DotFuscator work with ASP.NET in a way that obfuscates the DLL such that all of the functions and objects are renamed?

2. Is DotFuscator doing anything useful even with "Renaming" disabled? A simple use of Lutz's Reflector lets me see all sorts of things in the DLL, leading me to believe that my code could be easily reverse engineered.

Any expert opinions would be much appreciated by this aspiring code obfuscator.

Remote Debugging

Abhi_h — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:31:39 GMT

Hi,

I know that for doing a remote debug, we need to have msvsmon.exe in the remote system. But Unfortunately, I'm not able to get it setup in the remote machine and I was not able to find it in the Visual Studio 2003 setup CDs also. Is there any other way of doing a remote debug without making use of msvsmon.exe? or Is there any way where I can download the msvsmon.exe file.

I googled around a bit, and I found out that , there will be a rdbgsetup.exe in the installation cds, which should get the remote debug going. But, I was not able to find that in the CD's either.

Please let me know on this.

Thanks

Error while debugging asp.net 1.1 application

paule247 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:20:49 GMT

Hi Great dotNET developers,

I 'm working on an asp.net 1.1 (visual studio 2003) application that was binded with visual sourcesafe. the problem is when i debug the application and get to the LLBLGenPro generated class (dll and pdb) it ends with an error message "There is no source code available for the current location". please what is the workaround for this? I have unbinded this from VSS but it still seems that i haven't cos it shows the former VSS path C:/sourcesafe/FMS.root/...

Secondly, the application (has been working fine in the production server for 5 years without failure and error) is showing 102 error (related to ambigouos classes) how can i resolve all the errors because when i debug one another pops up.

I will appreciate if help is provided. Thanks

rebuilding a project from remote website

Add intellisense for SVG to VS 2003

webjagger — Mon, 19 Jul 2004 10:04:31 GMT

Does anybody know if and how to extent intellisense for svg (scalable vector grafics -> http://www.w3c.org/Graphics/SVG/).

This should nor be impossible, no?! Because it is just XML, and you can get a schema file (xsd) for it.

But I expect two main problems:
1. VS should know the file extension .svg to connect it with the schema.
2. The original schema file from w3c has to be modified before putting it into the schema/xml directory together with the other schemas. Even though there is an article on msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vxgrfVisualStudioSchemaAnnotations.asp which describes the tags inside the schema that can be used for intellisense I wonder if I would be able to manage that.

maybe somebody could solve the whole problem or some parts of it (maybe for other xml based files)?!

Thanks in advance

VSWebCache Debug Build Issue

maaron — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:38:17 GMT

We have an ASP.NET 1.1 Web Application we are trying to debug in Visual Studio 2003. When we run the application in debug mode, the following error occurs:

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'MTS.Application.UI.Global'.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.vb" Inherits="MTS.Application.UI.Global" %>

Source File: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Application\global.asax Line: 1

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2407; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2407

We have narrowed down the problem to the VSWebCache folder, but do not know how to proceed.

Whenever we build the project for the first time (assuming an empty VSWebCache folder for the application) the Web Site Assembly, PDB and resources files are all built and placed into VSWebCache\[computername]\[appname]\obj\Debug. Since this folder is empty the first time we attempt to launch the application from visual studio, it works fine, it will run, we can debug, etc. Any subsequent executions from visual studio will generate the error listed above.

After further investigation, we noticed that during subsequent launches of the application from visual studio, it does a build and only updates the application assembly and pdb files, not the resources files. The only time the assembly, pdb and resources files get updated is when we run a ReBuild (not a Build). To make a long story short, our work around is to remove the temp folder from under Debug, this (for some crazy reason) triggers a complete rebuild during the debug launch process which then we no longer get the "Could not load type" Error.

Has anyone run into this or found a solution to this very odd VS issue?

Can't create a ASP.NET web application in VS2003

k-edward — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:11:10 GMT

Hi All

I have Visual Studio 2003 installed on my (XP Pro) PC. I have installed IIS and FPSE by following the steps in the WebServer.htm file (on the VS installation disc).

When I try and create an ASP.NET Web Application, the name of the project is greyed out, preventing me from creating a project.

In the installation main menu, within the 'Add or Remove Features' - 'Server Components', the 'Web Development' box is ticked, so I assume the Web dev components are installed.

I should have all the relevant Security updates for .NET 1.1 too.

I just don't know why this isn't working as I have tried everything that the WebServer.htm files says to do.

Can anyone please help?

Many thanks

Help...Debugger using VS2003

nixan01 — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:58:25 GMT

I am having hard time using remote debugger for my application. I have my application on Windows 2003 server. I have IIS 6.0 and Visual studio 2003 installed on the windows 2003 server. The application compiles and link fine. When select to debug it gives me a following error "Unable to start debuggin on the web server. The server does not support debugging of ASP.NET or ATL server applications. Click help for more information on how to enable debugging. You may also want to refer to the ASP.NET and ATL server debugging topic in the online documentation" with OK and help button. The application is written in c++ and ATL server pages.

The application run ok when I select start without debugging.

VS2003 Debugger stopped working suddenly

desertfoxaz — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:21:34 GMT

I have to maintain some legacy applications that were created by VS2003. This week, the debugger stopped working for all of my projects. None of the project settings changed, and ASP.NET debugging is still enabled in the project properties and debug mode is selected for builds.

I can create a new web project and place the breakpoint on the Page_Load event handler and when I click the play button on the toolbar it becomes disabled until the page loads then once that's done, the play button enables again.

I didn't do anything to my workstation aside from reinstalling the MSDN Library (which disappeared after installing the Oracle Data Provider), but perhaps our IT group installed something after business hours that may have affected something.

Has anybody experienced this before, and if so how did you fix it?

BC30456: 'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member

alacroce@ — Fri, 20 Feb 2004 16:49:29 GMT

Strange problem I keep running into. Designing an ASP.NET solution within VS2002. Everything is working fine until I make a minor modification to either the HTML or code behind file. Recently, just changed a Boolean var from ‘True’ to ‘False’, recompiled and then I received the following error message:
BC30456: 'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member of 'ASP.mypage_aspx'

I removed the changes and recompiled with the same results. I have tried removing the temporary files and recompiling with the same results.

Any help would be appreciated!

Re-installation of VS 2003 on a newer machine

dcwmorley — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:22:07 GMT

My 2005 machine was getting pretty show. It had XP Pro and SP2.

I bought a new machine and installed the same XP Pro but with SP3.

Then I re-installed the Visual Studio Enterprise Architect 2003 on the new machine.

When I try to call up VS, a small window appears. It is headed with the name of a folder which was created somewhere in the installation process for VS, and asks for a user name and password which I don't have. I compared the security tabs for all the folders that I thought could be relevant on both machines but they all seem to be identical.

Has anyone got any idea how to get over the problem, please ?

LATER: I looked again at the old machine and the new machine. The old one has

MS .NET 1.1 and

MS .NET 1.1 Hotfix KB92836

The new machine has both the above plus

MS .NET 2.0 SP2

MS .NET 3.0 SP2

MS .NET 3.5 SP1

I noticed that the last of these (at least) was added when I installed a recent of Nero.

I am wondering whether VS 2003 is confused by all these version of .NET
