content files

Hi,

If you have files in your project (like text files and bmp files stuff like
that, and config files) and want to have it copied to the bin folder at
build (i thought setting the build action to content did this but it
doesnt?) how can i get them to copy at each build? thanks

For the application configuration, name the file "App.config " and add it
to your project. VS.NET will automatically copy it into the "bin"
folder and rename it accordingly. For the other files, you can create a
batch file that copies the files to the "bin" folder.

If it's content, it will be included in a setup package, AFAIK.

Hi I use PEAR Cache to cache the frontend pages of a content managed web site.

Something strange is happening, but I bet it is a quick fix. My favicon image is showing up in the URL bar, for a couple of seconds, but then it disappears and the default browser icon is displayed. When I reload the page, the same thing happens. The correct icon appears for a few seconds (while the page is loading), but then goes away. You can see that here: http://webdev.ucop.edu/tltc_ph2/index_icon.html

Using ASP.NET 1.1 and IIS 6... what is the effect of enabling Content Expiration -- Expire Immediately? Does it cause the files in the virtual directory to be served on every single browser request even if the files do not change?

In testing I found that I could manually update the css file on...

I know what it is, and yet the knowledge of what a CMS is, is so vague that I find myself asking this question every now and then. I've googled and read the resources too.

Thinking of creating a website, most of the pages will have a general toolbar menu, a content and a footer. The content will be the only one who's gonna change but the rest (header,footer) will remain the same. I am interested to know your opinions/suggestions in finding an easy way of doing it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
