Hi,

 

I have a quick question here. Could I have both subject versions installed on the same machine?

Yes you can 

Currently I have Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2003 playing nicly with each other. All the diferent versions of VS can be installed side by side on the same machine. If you are creating websites you will need to tell IIS which version of the .NET framework will be used for each virtual directory.

Thanks for your input.

 

Could you tell me where do I find the version of .Net framework that the IIS is running with?

Could I continue developing VS2002/VS2003 applications on VS2005? If not, is conversion or other means required?

When you right mouse click on the virtual directory you will see a new tab called ASP .NET where you can select your version.

Conversions are necessary when you go from one version to the next...

Thanks again.

 

One more question I have is that I have been developing web applications with VS2002 and then deploy them to the remote server which is Windows 2003 (IIS 6.0). After upgrading to VS2005, do I need to do anything before deploying to remote server? Or should I inform the hosting company the upgrade version change? It's because I don't see any ASP.NET tab on the virtual directory at the hosting company.

You will have to let them know as websites developed with VS 2005 use .NET 2.0 as opposed to 1.1

Thank you for your patience in answering all my questions.

 

Actually I have another similar question here. Sorry that I didn't bring out in last session. Our web application is also deployed to our development server (Windows 2000 IIS 5.0). Does it mean we have to install .NET 2.0 framework on our development server after we have upgraded to VS2005?

I am afraid so, but if you installed VS2005 on that machine you already have it.

  • Did you know… Dock your Call Stack window alongside the Solution Explorer for a better debugging experience - #362

    Whenever I found a bug that required the developer to investigate on my machine, I swear the first thing each and every one of them would do was dock the Class Stack alongside the Solution Explorer.

    Call Stack docked alongside Solution Explorer

    If you’re dealing with call stacks only 5 lines deep, you’ll probably like the default layout – docked to the bottom.  However, if you’re dealing with call stacks 20 lines deep, you probably want to be able to see more lines without wasting your editor space.  By tab-docking the Call Stack Window alongside the Solution Explorer, you’ll be able to see many more lines in your Call Stack window without rearranging your editor.

  • Did you know… Ctrl+K, Ctrl+v allows you to quickly search for objects within your solution? - #361

    Another good keyboard shortcut many don’t know about. I only say that because I forgot all about this one until now…

    There is a command called View.ClassViewGoToSearchCombo which does exactly as it says.

    image

    When you press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+V, wherever you are in the IDE, your focus will jump to the Class View search combo box, so you can just start typing and searching immediately.

  • Did you know… You can use devenv.exe /edit to open a file in an existing Visual Studio instance - #360

    Visual Studio has a command line argument you can specify to open a file in an existing instance of VS.

    command line example

    Just run devenv /edit <filename> and the file will open in the IDE.

    file opened in Visual Studio alongside other files

    You could also create a VSEdit command if you find yourself using this feature a lot.  Just create a file called "VSEdit.cmd" (you can use notepad to do this) with the following:

    @"devenv.exe" /edit %*

    provided you already have %Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE added to your system PATH environment variable. And, of course, you might want to place this VSEdit.cmd in a directory that's in your PATH or add it.

  • Did you know… Ctrl+. shows a smart tag - #359

    We’ve all seen smart tags before, the little line that appears whether we’re renaming something or VS wants to help us add a using statement to our code.

    C# smart tag example

    There are two keyboard shortcuts to invoke (show) smart tags in the editor. There’s the keyboard shortcut no one can seem to remember Alt+Shift+F10, required for consistency with Office’s smart tags. Then there’s the slightly easier to remember keyboard shortcut Ctrl+. (period)

    In C# it’s cool that you can just press Ctrl+. then press Enter, and the smart tag does its job. But in VB, you have to press Ctrl+. then arrow down (to select the first item) then press Enter. Sigh, yet another accessibility bug…

    VB smart tag example

    The command is View.ShowSmartTag if you want to rebind to something else. the Blogosphere seems to like Alt+Down Arrow, which isn’t bound to anything in the Editor scope.

    View.ShowSmartTag command

  • Did you know… you can display a license in the Content Installer - #358

    Directly from the help documentation:

    To display an End User License Agreement (EULA) in the Visual Studio Content Installer, you must embed this information in the .zip file. WinZip supports including embedded information through the Comment feature. For more information about WinZip, see http://www.winzip.com. For more information about the Comment feature, see the WinZip Help file.

    Using WinZip 12.0, the Comment feature is found under View – Comment.

    As soon as you run a .vsi that has this content embedded in it, you''ll see the EULA dialog box pop up.
