testing WebExpress...

[Lloyd Dupont]

Hi All!

I'm a bit green on ASP.NET and decided to give it a serious go with whidbey
and WebExpress.

I started a little project and decided to use a 3rd party control
(http://www.freetextbox.com).
In the install directive it tells to copy some file in the aspnet_client
virtual directory.

And that's a problem, because with WebExpress I have an inbuild WebServer
which doesn't use the aspnet_client directory, therefore I don't manage to
make FreeTextBox work ! :(

Any tip, advice?

I am working with the full Visual Studio 2005 product. I have played with
Express, but do not currently have it installed. I add this disclaimer as I
could be wrong on the next portion (although I do not believe I am).

In Visual Studio 2005 you can create a project that connects to a web server
through either IIS or FrontPage (IIS, but using FP extensions). This is not
the default condition, however, so you have to pay attention when you create
a new site, as the options are there to create a non-file system based web.

If you wish to remain with the file-based web, you can still take the
compiled text box control and make a reference to it (right click references
and add). That will add the assembly to your project. If you want to add raw
source, right click your project and Add >> Existing Item. You can then add
the source file to your project. If the source is in a different language,
it is often easiest to add to the /code directory (make one if you have not
already) as it can compile on the fly in there.

Hope this helps.

well I'm waiting for VS.NET2005 too, but it keeps telling me, sorry it's in
backorder :(
anyway I think it won't work as it's hardcoded inside the 3rd party to look
for
http://TheWebServer/aspnet_client/....
(as it's a special directory for ASP.NET web server)

I was able to add the DLL so far. but its .js file (which should be copied
inthe aspnet_client virtual root dir), no luck :(
