Asp.net - Project Level Imports Stored In Visual Studio 2008?
Mar 16, 2009
I have a Web Service Application Project in Visual Studio 2008. This is supposed to be an ASP.Net 2.0 project and at some point this has been rebuilt using 3.5.VS has kindly added in project level imports to System.Linq and System.Xml.Linq, but when I have re-targeted the project at 2.0 these project level imports have remained.Because the Web Service Application Project does not have the detailed window for editing project references I cannot find how to remove these project level imports.There is no .proj file which is where I would assume these were included.I cannot now build the project as it fails, even though I only get warnings (no errors reported) such as this:Namespace or type specified in the project-level Imports 'System.Linq' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.
But if I want to use the Project Properties, Reference tab to select a namespace to allow a project-wide setting, is it possible to alias that namespace?
I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.
I've started to use a Vista machine for development. In case it is significant: I'm using MSBee so that I can code in the Visual Studio 2005 IDE while still building against the 1.1 framework.On the Vista machine, when I tried to build a particular vb project, I got this error:
error BC30464: Namespace or type'Compatibility' in the project-level Imports 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility' cannot be found.
The same project built fine on my old XP machine. I checked in this folder on my Vista machine:
C:windowsmicrosoft.netFrameworkv1.1.4322
...and sure enough, "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll" was missing. So was "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.Data.dll". Copying them from my XP machine to my Vista machine allowed me to build the project successfully.I'm just a bit puzzled as to why this happened. Why was "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll" missing? I'm also not very comfortable with my chosen solution - copying the DLL manually. It works, but surely there must be a better way.
WebMatrix is a web development and deployment tool by Microsoft so how is this compared to Visual Studio? which Use C# Razor Syntax is that more better coding.
I have a vb 6 project developed with VB6.0 on XP. I've installed Visual Studio (Professional Edition)2008 on a Windows 7 box. When I tried to convert the vb 6 project (.vbp file) using VB 2008's wizard, I got error messages that the "upgrade failed" because it could not "load the referenced components: msadodc.ocx (6.0.0) and msde.dll It is recommended you install VB6.0 with all referenced components......"I have the VB6.0 CD's and tried to install it on the Win7.0 box and got the message that VB6.0 was incompatible ?
In Visual studio 2008, I am not able to see Batch Build option for vb.net projects as c++ projects. I am new to VB.Net. but do it have any other options to do batch buld rather than creating Batch file?
If I build a Windows Forms project in Visual Studio 2008, and start it with a Sub Main instead of a form, and for the time being, don't show any forms, is it considered a Console application? Will console.writeline work?
I'm suddenly having trouble with GetPrivateProfileSection in a Windows Forms project in Visual Studio 2008. The same code works when it's run as an aspx page in a website. Anyway, I define the WINAPI call thusly:
I've been assigned a web app written in VB using VStudio.net 2003. I am trying to configure the source on my localhost (VStudio 2008) so I can explore and learn about the current app (before I begin any real changes) and I cannot get debugging working for the web service project(s).
Symptom 1: "Unable to automatically step into the server. The remote procedure could not be debugged. This usually indicates that debugging has not been enabled on the server. See help for more information". This happens when I try to F11 (stepInto) the proxy class which invokes my actual web method.
Symptom 2: Pre-setting a breakpoint in my .asmx file code on the statement that will be invoked does not work (i.e. the debugger simply doesn't stop). Having described the situation, here's how my VStudio Solution is configured: Service1 - project created from the VB - WEB - ASP.NET Web Service Application template; this Service1 project contains my main .asmx source code I want to debug. Web.config for this project contains compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true"
So in Visual Studio, you can't have two projects X and Y such that X references Y and Y references X.In general, I can totally understand how having a circular dependency can be problematic, for a variety of reasons.But is it really not possible to compile two projects that are interdependent in this way? It seems to me that it must be possible, since (in my mind -- maybe I'm completely off-base about this) having two mutually dependent assemblies is really not so different from having two mutually dependent classes -- a case which is legal and can be compiled.
It would make sense to me if you said, "two assemblies cannot depend on each other because the compiler could not compile one before the other"; except that it seems you could make the same argument for two classes within the same assembly, and clearly the compiler can deal with this scenario just fine.
Basically the reason I'm asking is not that I have some desperate desire to do this thing that I know is generally ill-advised anyway. Specifically I'm wondering because it would be nice if I could have two projects -- say, MyProjectCS and MyProjectVB -- that existed basically as two mutually dependent parts of a single unit, and were only separate because certain parts were written in C# and other parts were written in VB.NET.
Is it possible to enable this behavior (in Visual Studio, or elsewhere, for that matter)? If it's not possible within any IDE, it it at least theoretically possible, or could mutually dependent assemblies not possibly exist? If it's not even theoretically possible, why not? In other words, how are mutually dependent assemblies different from mutually dependent code within a single assembly?
It happens quite frequently, more times per day, that with Visual Studio 2010, during the debugging, when I used Immediate commands like:I receive the following error:
'NamedVariable' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional to build a VB.NET console application. I have a text file that I want to copy to the output directory after a build. I would like to create a build event to do that, but I do not see a "Build Events" folder on the property page. Is there a setting where I can get this folder? Or, is there another way I can set up a post-build event to copy a file to the output directory? The folders I see on the Properties page:
I want to use "OpenGL" in my project. Is it possible to associate it with "Visual Basic" application developed in Visual Studio 2010? If yes then how can we do it.
I am trying to rid my team's Visual Studio projects of "My Project" folders. None of my team is using custom settings or anything that would need to be stored in the "My Project" folder for any of our projects.
I have edited our .vbproj files with a text editor to remove any reference to "My Project", deleted "My Project" from disk, and ensured that no one has checked "My Project" or any of its files into version control. But when any of these projects is compiled, Visual Studio insists on autogenerating "My Project", re-creating the folder (just the folder, without any files inside) on disk and inserting a reference to that folder into the project.
(To clarify, when I say "a reference to that folder into the project", I mean that the .vbproj file contains the following text:
and that text will not die no matter how many times I kill it.)I suspect that the chain of events is that VS modifies the project to include the reference to the folder; then after the project is compiled the folder is generated because it is referenced. How then can I prevent Visual Studio from modifying project files to refer to this infernal folder?
Will i be able to successfully install 2010 beta 2 side by side 2008? because i want to test 2010 features and some development toolkits such as silverlight while i don't want to uninstall my visual studio 2008 professional.
I have a Visual Basic project and when working and modifying code, the compiler will crash and then a message will say something like "Microsoft visual studio encountered a problem and was shut down." I've tried editing code from the solution and the project. Both produce the error. Usually occurs when adding an "IF...Then..." condition. May work for hours but then crash. Solution will compile and build.
I want to start using Mercurial on a VB.Net project, but I'm not sure which files should I add. Do I include the Project.sln file, bin/ and obj/ folders?
I am writing a project and am getting stumped on the following error in Visual Studio. It reads "Warning 1 Unused local variable" and "Warning 2 Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated"Here is snap of my code and the problem is highlighted. Any thoughts?Private Sub xmlImport(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As FileSystemEventArgs)Dim eConnect As New eConnectMethods

I am by no means a programmer, but I was recently tasked with moving our website to a new server, since the website manager quit. The Visual Studio solution was written in 2008. I can compile and run the solution, so I'm sure it's working just fine. But every time I try to publish the solution, either to FTP or to my local hard drive, the .asp webpages get deployed to a sub directory, where on the live site, they are in the root.
I am using an Access Database with my project. When I publish, all the Forms seem to Publish. Also the database gets published. However, once I install it, there seems to be no connection with the Database.The Forms give me the Oledb error as Im using Access. However, the login form seems to connect with the database. In other words, my applications gets authenticated, but when I try to open other forms, there seem to be an error with DB connection
