• Re: Prevent VS from adding fixed dimensions to controls?

  Yes I always use a CSS class on every control/element, but in the case of tables, VS 2005 still adds unwanted width and height tags. The next time I develop a web app I'll most likely be using VS 2008 so maybe they've fixed it there.

• Re: Best method of changing the connection string at runtime?

  I forgot to mention I'm using winforms not asp.net. SqlConnectionStringBuilder seems like an added step, when I already have the connection strings I need to use. I just need to change the connection string according to the user's preference or environment. But, the main problem I see is that making these WYSIWYG designer datasets seems to require the "My Project - Settings" which seem to be VERY buggy, plus the connection string is read only this way for whatever dumb reason. I'm fine with making

• Re: Dynamically change Connection string at runtime.

  This kinda blows... I have the same problem. There should be an easy way to change the connection string. It's generally different for each user. The table adapters seem to want to use this read only setting... Guess I can't use the visual method of creating my data sources?

• Best method of changing the connection string at runtime?

  What's the best method of changing the connection string at runtime? I'm trying the "visual" method of creating data sources, which creates a bunch of things where a table adapter finally wants to use an application READ ONLY settings variable that cannot be changed at runtime! I don't know, maybe I should just go back to using the DAAB to fill datasets and datagrid/views...

• Rename splitter container, panels lost and everything in them!

  Everytime I try to rename a splitter container, the Panel1 and Panel2 references don't change and I end up losing the panels and everything inside them. I saw a few articles of people having this issue in the beta, but couldn't find anything else. I've been making frequest backups of my project in fear of losing a day of work here...

• Re: Prevent VS from adding fixed dimensions to controls?

  No I've not... it's especially annoying when I accidentally click on a table column and it makes the entire column a fixed width, and I have to go in and manually remove the tags the designer NINJA inserted.

• Re: Slow loading first time - how to address issue with clients

  Hi nes718 -- yes you should always turn off debug for production, but unfortunately that's not what we're talking about. For small apps like yours, you should not notice a long compile, but it will still lag for maybe a few seconds the first time it is hit. Your app needs to be hit every 15 minutes or so to avoid this. ASP.NET 2.0 is speedier and their are new ways to build/compile your app, but the only method I've found I can use is the "legacy" web application method which requires a plug-in to

• Re: Slow loading first time - how to address issue with clients

  Thanks again for the advice --- I only use dedicated servers by the way. DNN sites run very quickly. The only thing I'm talking about is lag time for that first compile. My main point is to do with clients who get very little traffic or new clients who get no traffic. How is my client going to sign off on his website that takes a minute to load the first time? Great first impression! So, as I'm researching, it appears is that the only solution is to use a Windows Service to hit these website every

• Re: Slow loading first time - how to address issue with clients

  Your suggestions are good for improving performance overall, but it does not address the issue of how to respond to clients complaining that their brand new website they put a big deposit down on is really slow! Also, I'm wondering how often does a visitor get the "compile lag" under normal traffic? It seems like there will be at least one user a day experiencing lag each time the app pool recycles?

• Slow loading first time - how to address issue with clients

  I'm hoping to get some advice on how to deal with ASP.NET's compile lag time in regards to clients, or potentially losing clients or getting fired for using .NET & DNN (DotNetNuke). If anyone wants to take a shot at my 5 points below -- I believe this covers all the issues. A client sent me an email today: Jason, that took forever to load. The first time I went to www.xxx.com it did not load at all, then went to xxx.com and it finally loaded. 1. One thing I'm concerned about is "did not load
