• Re: Developing ASP.NET applications without Visual Studio

  Thanks for this information. This is my problem. SQL Server Express was making things too easy for me. I remember in a test deployment of a test application I did before, to get it to work I had to duplicate the SQL Server Express setup on my remote test server. Since the production application will have to use a remote database I need to learn all the things it takes to make the remote SQL Server work. You have provided several clues for doing that. Thanks. Jim Harris

• Re: Developing ASP.NET applications without Visual Studio

  I love Intellisense too, and I love the fact that web page development is now compiled and we have a debugger. However, I keep hitting annoying snags. Like my current one. I had VS 2005 installed and working on my old machine. I got a new machine because VS ran too slow on the old machine. I reinstalled everything, but now it's no longer connecting to the AspNetSqlProvider. I've been spending a lot of time trying to find out why. My first installation used VS Standard Edition and SQL Server Express

• Developing ASP.NET applications without Visual Studio

  Is it possible/practical to develop ASP.NET applications without Visual Studio? I have been developing classic ASP pages for years with TextPad and no matter how hard I try I can't get into programming with Visual Studio. I've bought each new edition of VS when it comes out and I try to switch over to using it, but I always fail. VS does so much now, generates so many lines of code, that when something goes wrong, it's like the magic machine has stopped working. I liked that IIS and SQL Server were

• Re: GridView and SqlDataSource newbie

  Your explanation of this problem was posted back in Sept 2005, and it's now Apr 2006, and well past the final release of VS. Any news on when this problem is going to be fixed? I am a new newbie to VS.NET 2005 and just rediscovered this problem with the schema of AdventureWorks and using it with ASP.NET. I've been using classic ASP with Textpad for years, and one of the barriers I find to moving to Visual Studio and .NET is depending on all the generated code. It took me awhile to track down this

• Re: Breaking through a barrier

  I did see that section of the Toolbox, but it's a rather limited set of HTML tags, mostly the ones related to data controls you'd use with classic ASP. Which brings up why use these controls when there are newer ASP.NET controls. By the way, I'm new to Visual Studio. I've been doing classic ASP for years using Textpad. I'm trying to teach myself Visual Studio 2005 with books and videos. Switching from typing code to dragging and dropping is hard. If you use Design view every thing is added to one

• Breaking through a barrier

  The hardest part of switching to Visual Studio 2005 for me is learning the drag and drop interface of the IDE. For ASP functions I can use the Toolbox, but for web design/HTML layout I'm hitting a barrier. So far all I can figure out is to go into Source view and carefully type in XHTML tags and control them with CSS. Is there a better way? Is there a book that explains it? Or a book that gives recommended practices? I can find all kinds of books/videos about adding individual ASP controls and using

  This fixed my problem - and I would have never guessed the solution. Thanks Jim Harris
