• Re: File/ New/ Website

  "C:\...\devenv\installvstemplates" is not the correct syntax for the command line. Use C:\...\devenv /installvstemplates in stead. Let us know if this works for you. -Preston

• Re: File/ New/ Website

  I had this happen once before where templates were not available. "If it loses templates, you can try to run the following command from Visual Studio Command Prompt: devenv /installvstemplates" I ran this command and it worked in my case. I would certainly try this before doing any repair/uninstall/reinstall of VS. Doing so may cause bigger problems that would be much more difficult to resolve. -Preston

  Take a look at MS Expression Blend. With it you can develop in Silverlight and port it to your app in VWD. -Preston

• Re: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" from MS VS 2008 & Vista Ultimate - Different Port Numbers

  Close any sites/projects in VWD and then close VWD. Locate the 'hosts' file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Open the Hosts file in Note Pad and check to see if the line below is there: 127.0.0.1 localhost If it is not, add it. Save, and close the file. Next, start VWD, open a site and press Ctrl+F5. The dev server should start, and your default page should be displayed in your browser. This solution has worked for many people. Please let us know if it works for you, or no. Cheers

• Re: web form design

  Absolute positioning of elements is very tricky. If a user changes the text size, or 'zooms' the page in their broswer, the display will break and may cause functionality issues. I suggest that you create an external style sheet that determines the layout and formatting for your page(s). You would then link your page(s) to that style sheet. Also, rather than use tables or absolute positioning, use divs instead. Your web form would then go inside a <div></div> with the div's

• Re: Publish Web

  Open the site you wan to publish in VWD. Either right click the site in solution explorer and select "Copy Website", or, in the menu bar, click Website and the select "Copy Website". Assuming the SQL databases are identical, you'll not want to publish the db; just files and folders. You'll likely need to edit the web.config to ensure the connection string and other parameters are correct. If you need to publish the database, take a look Here . -Preston

• Re: Problems with VS Built-In Dev Server

  The development server in VS uses Localhost. In Vista, an automatic update or certain virus protection apps may have made a change to your 'hosts' file. Your "hosts" file is what tells your computer that "localhost" should map to "127.0.0.1" so here is where your file is: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Close Visual Studio and any browsers that are open. Locate the 'hosts' using Windows Explorer Open that file in Notepad under a 'computer administrator

• Re: Visual Web Dev without Front Page extensions?

  Sean, Just a thought, but you might try talking with your web host to see if they will install FPSE on the server for you. Be sure to point them to the article you linked to. If they won't do it, then you'll be stuck with FTP. Actually, FTP isn't that bad. It takes a bit of a paradigm shift, and you have to be careful, but it does work. When the FPSE are removed from servers, the sites that rely upon FPSE specific functionality, such as shared borders, FrontPage photo galleries and other

• Re: Visual Web Dev without Front Page extensions?

  Sean, My web host went to Win Server 2008 and eliminated the FP extensions (Grrr). Without them installed on the production server, you cannot publish using http; you have to use FTP. I honestly wish it were otherwise, because http publishing was very easy. The downside to the FP extensions is that they are fragile and can easily break. That, and the fact that MS no longer supports them is the main reason web hosts are moving away from them. -Preston

  I don't advocate reinstalling Windows, except as a last resort. To the Original Poster: Here's a thread from The VS Setup and Installation forum that has some further suggestions as to how you might fix the Web Designer Core issue. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/ca9dd3ce-86bd-4623-b002-24be612344fe -Preston
