Shift+F5 leaves all Servers icons behind

guenavan — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

[quote user="Yaniv L"] I'm sorry but don't really know the answers. I haven't even installed VS 2010 yet :P

Really weired though that all websites get the default property there set to true.[/quote]

But this is the same in VS2005, VS2008 also.
I am writing here since I consider it to be error of
VS architecture and in hope that this would be corrected.

Also marking "Always Start When Debug" to False,
except additional unnecessary work,
does not solve the problem completely since
stopping debugging (Shift+F5)
still leaves those icons behind and if I change
Start up projects dozen times
and launch their debigging
one after another,
I still get
dozens of ASP.NET Development Servers icons

Tabs Studio adds advanced tab grouping to Visual Studio IDE

Tabs Studio adds advanced tab grouping to Visual Studio IDE

Grouping relevant tabs together is an efficient method to work with a lot of code files simultaneously. Tabs Studio add-in started from grouping tabs with the same name and from the same folder. New version of Tabs Studio allows custom rules to group tabs by different parts of tab title and group tabs from different folders. Using regular expressions for custom grouping provides utmost flexibility for rule definition.

Grouping by name combines Default.aspx and Default.aspx.cs, while grouping by .js extension can combine Animations.js, ComboBox.js and DateTime.js. When tests and code are in different projects, custom document path grouping rule can allow grouping for ToolkitTests\Animation.aspx and ControlToolkit\Animation\Animation.cs. Another benefit of grouping is that relevant files can be quickly opened by right clicking on a tab and selecting corresponding file from a list.

About Tabs Studio

Tabs Studio add-in replaces the built-in Visual Studio 2005/2008 tabs giving you multiple rows of tabs, automatic tab grouping, ability to remove path from tab name and ability to customize visual representation of tabs with powerful XAML styles.

Missing Design View with empty script tag

rsidie — Fri, 15 May 2009 04:00:00 GMT

If using <script> tags with empty content, as when referencing a javascript file on the server, valid HTML would allow for the start tag to be closed with />. For example,

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/test.js" />

However, the Visual Studio IDE interprets this as the start of a script section with no end tag. The result is that no design view will be displayed.

To fix this problem, use a separate closing tag, as follows:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/test.js" ></script>

Re: Events icon in Visual Studio 2008

djh — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Aaaahhhhhhh!!! Thank Metal, this had been driving me nuts. Turns out if once you put a control onto your page and then go into design view, the Events lightning bolt icon will then ALWAYS show up in design AND source view, but only for that control. If you add a new control to you page, you must pop back into design view for a second to get the Events icon to show up for the new control.

How do I make exceptions thrown during a partial-update (from an UpdatePanel) to be thrown in the server, not to the browser? (please get in, easy)

weitzhandler — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 04:00:00 GMT

usually when an exception is thrown u get a page saying "Server Error in "/"" (something like that - the main exception message of ASP.NET).

however, I use an updatepanel, and the exceptions which are thrown during the partial update, doesn't show that error page, instead the page is sent back to the browser and the exception is considered as a client-side error and is shown by the browser's status bar

does anyone know how to make the exception thrown from the server?

Ps. can exceptions in web be thrown as in win applications (a yellow line, like debugging steps)?

How To: Visually create .SKIN files in Visual Studio for Themes

awd_envy — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT

I didn't find this anywhere and it was driving me crazy... so I thought I'd post a solution for someone else in case they need it.

Creating .SKIN files by copy and pasting the controls is one of the BIGGEST drawbacks of the skinning system in my opinion (followed closely by CSS load order and CSS Media definement). Insted I would rather Drag and Drop controls and edit them in the Skin page; or look at the skin in design view to see what my skin actually looks like. Below is my solution to do this in Visual Studio (should work in Visual Web Developer as well).

To Visually Create Skin files in VS

In Visual Studio....

Tools > Options
Under "Text Editor" click on "File Extension"
Type "skin" in the "Extension" textbox
Select "Web Form Editor" under the "Editor" dropdown list.
Click "ADD"
Click "OK"

Thats It! Whenever you open a skin file you'll now have the toolbox and the Design view (or split view in VS08). Drag and Drop to the CODE window. If you drop to the design window, the editor will add the <Form> tag to the document, and the ID field to the control. Both of which cannot be in a SKIN file. After the control is on the page, you can change it's styles in the design view like normal.

Note: If you have any SKIN files open before you do this, you'll need to close and reopen them for the changes to take effect.

After years of somehow managing to avoid the migration to .NET it has finally come and I am blown away by the differences between classic ASP and .NET. I'm hoping I can get some help with what should be (and probably is) a simple task: connecting to a MySQL server in my project.

I am running VS 2008 and plan to develop in vb

I am needing to connect to a MySQL 5.0 database.

I have both my web project and database on my local computer during development.

I have installed the MySQL connector 5.1.4

In Visual Studio 2008 I want to add a Data Connection - how the heck do I go about this?

I apologize in advance for such a basic question but everything I have read assumes things like the knowledge of what a "code behind" page is - as in "add this to your code behind page"....

I'm looking (if possible) to add my data connection via the Server Explorer window in the IDE.

Thanks in advance for any help - I'll keep looking ....

Code Snippet & Auto Formatting

soelinn — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Is there a way to specify not to do automatic formatting in Code Snippets?

I created the following code snippet because I like putting these code separator comment lines between methods.
However, everytime I use this code snippet, it gets auto indented and I always have to delete out the preceding TABs.

Yes, this is how I want it and it's my coding style.

namespace MyNameSpace
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        #region Method: MethodA()
        public void MethodA()
        {
            // do something
        }
        #endregion

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        #region Method: MethodB(int, string)
        public void MethodB(int myInt, string myString)
        {
            // do something
        }
        #endregion
    }
}

Thanks,
