Visual Studio & ASP.NET!

Hi all,

I have just adopted using Visual Studio to do my ASP.NET development.
I have a couple of teething problems though.

Is there anyway i can stop VS messing my code formatting up?

Is their anyway I can display .vb files in the solution explorer?
At the moment they don't appear, though i can edit them by clicking on a web
form.

There is no way to get VS.NET 2003 to stop rewriting your code (supposedly
VS.NET 2005 will have this all fixed). For some insight on why 2003 scews
things up, check out this link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/MikhailArkhipo...16/132886.aspx

Now, most people I know who like to have clean HTML user Dreamweaver or
FrontPage or Notepad (or whatever HTML editor) to to do all HTML work (i.e.,
aspx and ascx file editing), and user VS.NET 2003 for all code-behind work
and for launching test sessions. I keep both opened and switch between the
two as needed.

-HTH

At the top of the solution explorer is a "show all files" button.
The current state is remembered per-project.

Ha ha
or FrontPage
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!

Front Page!! For HTML? You have to be kidding. DW produces tag soup, but
at least it's moderately reasonable and fairly close to W3C standards
(not very though), but FP produces junk. I don't know if the latest
version is any better, but all the versions I have tried produced
spaghetti HTML that was 100% invalid and only worked in IE.
or Notepad


At least know we are talking about an editor that doesn't force you into
producing junk!! I can't stand it myself and use a superior text editor,
but at least this is a sensible option.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist that.

Hi, Can someone tell me if I could use Visual Studio 2005 (RTM) alongside Visual Studio .NET 2003? Also, can VS 2005 generate output targeting 1.1? I have code written for .NET 1.1 and therefore need to either A, have VS 2005 target 1.1 as well as 2.0, or B, keep 2003 for 1.1 and use 2005 for newer applications using .NET 2.0. Thank you in advance.

So far I've ordered two C#/.Net books off the internet, and they're both *very* sadly lacking when it comes to coverage of Visual Studio .Net. I don't care about the C# language / API. Piece of cake.

What I'm after is a reference guide to the Visual Studio .Net IDE and environment itself -- one with a complete and detailed index, so that when I want to know what's required to do something like,...

I am using PostBuild events in a C# project to run some tasks, but only when in release configuration mode. The build events run perfectly as expected when run. The problem comes when I save the project, close VS, and reopen VS and the project. When I build again, i get a post-build event error. So I open the event to look at it. Guess what, it is not the post-build event i saved. Instead all the carriage returns are replaced with...
