Visual Studio 2008 "Orcas" Closer to Completion

I downloaded and tried the newest version of Visual Web Developer Express “Orcas” Edition awhile back and found too many bugs for me to rely on it very much at all. I beta test to the extreme, no test environment, no safety ropes, just install it and see if it works until it breaks something. […]

Specifying Parameters for UPDATE Statements

Are you tired of my questions about Visual Web Developer Express and .NET development? I hope not as it seems to be a popular source of information and research on the Internet.
Here’s my question for today.
If I’m using separate stored procedures to SELECT, UPDATE and INSERT values into a database, why doesn’t the Visual […]

Setting Default Window Size and Settings for VWDE

Anyone else think the window layout above isn’t very helpful?
If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the default “Query Builder” window that pops-up in Visual Web Developer Express when you’re working on your custom SQL connections.
This isn’t helpful to me at all. I end up dragging the window to the top-left corner, then […]

25+ Hours Comes Down to a Few Different Clicks

Some of you may be aware that I’ve been on a little adventure to teach myself a completely new web programming language and learn a new tool at the same time.
I’ve just about ditched Dreamweaver completely and moved over to Visual Web Developer Express Edition. Along with learning a new software application, I’m also learning […]

Microsoft PlayTable Expected Soon

 
Okay, I must be really out of touch or this stuff just isn’t hitting my radar screen as something that’s going to immediately impact my life. Have you heard of Microsoft’s PlayTable?
As usual Mary Jo Foley gets me the scoop on this bit of information.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates also provided a PlayTable-related technology demo during […]

GridView Error - Visual Web Developer Express 2005

I’m getting the following error message when I try to insert a GridView control on my web project. I’m developing in Visual Web Developer Express 2005.
The error message states:
There was an error rendering the control.
Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: ‘ControlDesignerStateService’.
How do I fix that?
Also, prior to that error happening, I had received the […]

2GB RAM Upgrade

I just popped two 1GB RAM chips into my laptop. I’m already seeing some much anticipated pep-in-the-step of my little Toshiba Satellite laptop. I upgraded hoping to get some extra boost when I’m working on things in Visual Web Developer. It seems to be working.
Now, back to work.

Visual Web Developer Express: Follow-up with Sites and Resources

Just a quick follow-up on my previous post. I’m an idiot, the reason I can’t edit those is because I was trying to use a View. You can’t edit a SQL View, which is why the options wouldn’t let me select what I wanted.
Now, I’ll just be figuring out a work-around for that since much […]

Visual Web Developer Express - Database Editing Question

I’m working with Visual Web Developer Express and teaching myself as I go. Today, I’m learning more about setting up editable database fields and views with the Form View and DetailsView. The only problem is to get that functionality through the visual user interface you click on the “Advanced” button, and the window that displays […]
