Upgrading my website from vs.net 2002 to vs.net 2005

2 New Member
I have a website I inherited. It was built in VS.net 2002. I have converted it to VS.net 2005. It runs great on my test server, but how do I replace my current website without screwing it up?

I am terrified of messing up my current website and I am afraid to do anything. I did try replacing the old files in my wwwroot folder with the new files. I then changed the ASP.Net version to 2 in the IIS Default Web Site. That did not work. (When I update my website, I always copy my updated webpages from the test machine to the web server. I also copy the projects dll to the bin folder). Fortunately I was able to undo everything and keep my 2002 version website running.

The website is on our old server. We do have a new server. Is there anyway to put it on the new server, leaving the 2002 version alone until I know it works?

I am great at building Windows applications, but not so great with Web Sites. I have been building webpage’s and adding on to it for the last 3 years, but I really need to upgrade it to 2005. The developer whose position I took over ran off with the VS.net 2002 installation disks. If something happens to my test machine, I am SOL.

Have you checked out the Publish option in the build menu?
That's the way I use to push my webpage to my server (it makes sure all the needed pieces make it over)
It does require you to turn on frontpage extensions for the desired location though.

Thank you for the response, Plater.

I tried that on the new server and then tried to open the web site with that server's IP address, but no luck.

Hi, I have just used the import Wizard to import a VS 2003 app to VS 2005. I have a lot of work to do to enable it to compile successfully with all the errors and warnings it gave me, but as a starting point the compiler can no longer find the function as at the bottom of this posting, that was in the Global.asax.vb file. All the function does is give an easy / quick way of getting the application

When I ordered my new laptop, Sony didn't offer Access 2003 in its bundles. Recently, I have begun to design Access databases using an copy of Access 2002 from my previous laptop. It works fine, but I would like to have all the office apps on the same version. So I have a few questions: 1) Is the file format the same as 2002? Can 2002 users read 2003 files? 2) What are the major reasons for upgrading to 2002 ?

Checking back for discussions, there was a lot of talk about 2000 being slower than 97, but not so much lately. What is the latest opinion? Anyone care to set up a poll for how many NG members are still using 97? 2000? I am slightly tempted to upgrade by a new client whose data is in 2000, but of course, I can just port it all back through Excel...right? and I guess I have seen a couple of nice features...

Using the Beta of VS 2005, I'd like to create a website that will be deployed on a server that has .Net 1.1. I understand how to modify the IIS web site properties to run on .Net 1.1, and I have also edited the web.config to add the 1.1 system assemblies to the <system.web> <compilation> <assemblies> node so that it compiles against 1.1. But what I don't understand is how to tell VS 2005 that I am creating a web site that will run against...

According to the information on the Microsoft web site, code written in VB.NET 2002 can simply be recompiled using VS.NET 2003. However, I have found that code which compiles cleanly in VS.Net 2002 gets new compile errors in VS 2003. It appears that there are new scope rules in VB.NET 2003. I get "Name not declared" errors on public functions in public modules. The errors are fixed by wrapping the module in a name space and then...

We currently own the first version of VS .net - the 2002 version. We would like to upgrade to the 2005 version. We are not sure whether to go with the standard or the professional version. Apparently the std. ver. does not include Crystal reports - but we already own Crystal ver 9.0 anyway because our accounting software required that. It appears that this is the on;ly really big difference that we would care about anyway, so can we just...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
