Visual Studio .NET Disk1 not installing pls help.... - .NET (Core and Framework) Discussion Boards

One of the better histories for .Net is in http://www.dnjonline.com/articles/essentials/iss24_essentials.html

Also - check through the archives of http://www.dotnetwire.com - there is an article about ".Net from a J2EE" perspective that is excellent.

I used these two resources and MSDN when I wrote a white paper for my company.

I am using Windows ME and want to get up to speed with ASP.NET. Is there any way to run ASP.NET on my platform? Should I try installing IIS for Win NT? Has anybody tried this?

'Get Win 2000' would be a really useful suggestion. But I cannot get Win 2K right now for several reasons...

There are sites out there that will allow you to build and play with ASP.NET without fees for those that cannot create a system in which to use ASP.NET of their own.

Just an alternative.

Cheers,

My thoughts are my own and reflect on no other.

I looked around on the web and found only one free ASP.NET provider - brinkster.com - but they do not offer ftp access so I have to upload each file through their web admin interface... Not really convinient for a large project. Anybody know of some other free ASP.NET provider?

First I would like to apologize for not putting this thread in a more appropriate place Poke tongue | ;-P

I'm really interested in .net, but I've been having problems installing it. I did post some questions on the microsoft newsgroups, but they never got answered. So heres the message I wrote:

On the Windows 2k (w/ sp2) I can't compile the samples (when it runs nmake I get
crazy errors). I also installed the sql engine. I also tried to goto the .net
framework samples, but everytime I try to load the page like Tutorials it saysit
cannot be displayed.

On the Win98 computer it almost finishes the sample build Smile | :)

I get a fatal error that says it couldnt find regsrv32 to reg a called
ratelookup.dll . I did run the corvars.bat in the bin folder, it said I was out
of enviroment space. Frown | :(

I also installed the sql engine on the win98 one.

Thanks guys.

Hello,

I write a C# editor using a RichEditBox (in C# langage of course !!).
I want to add syntaxic coloration. I want to use the Select(),
SelectionColor() functions.
My problem is to know the actual Caret position: where is my keyboard cursor ?
I found some function like GetCharFromPosition,
GetPositionFromCharIndex, etc., but I can't retrieve the caret position with it.
What for technique should I use to get this value ?
Thank you in advance for your help !

I cant get Visual Studio 7 (Beta1) to generate a web service for me.
Stepping thru the wizard leaves me with a fine project.
But when I try to build the compiler complains about System.Web.Service ... It cant find any reference to it.

Anyone got the same problem...
Ive tried to reinstall the lot ....but it doesnt seem to work anyway...

Any tips/tricks ... ?

Hi All,

Confused | :confused:

The only way i have been able to install it is by transfering the content of the two cd's (disk 1 and 2) to a single folder on my hd and run setup from there... Try that.;)

Tried that but getting the same error.... Confused | :confused:

Thanx anyway..

Hi there!
Creating a web service with VS.NET works pretty well, but when you use it, it's incredibly slow, even for the most simple stuff like the MS example TimeService you have to wait a couple of seconds for the result, getting a StockQuote via the web lasts over 30 seconds (to get the quote by hand (i.e. by looking at the www.xmltoday output)only adds up to 2 or 3 seconds.So, is this poor performance due to the beta release, or am I doing something wrong? Greetings from Munich, Tilman Rose | [Rose]

T.R

First the obvious: You know of course that the first time the webservice is run it has to be compiled? Well if you did not know that, now you do and that is the reason why on first access a web service is so slow. Once it has been compiled though it should be pretty quick.

Second Answer: 30 seconds does seem a long time, sure your hosting provider or internet connection is up to scratch? Even from down here in South Africa I can access microsoft example webservices with a max time of 10 seconds. For example I did a test on the UDDI site and it took 6 seconds, which is pretty good considering CNN.com takes 30 seconds to load through my internet browser.

Third Answer: Webservices are not meant to be performance applications. They are not meant to replace hand coded C++ or assembler modules which calculate the positon of every star in the galaxy in under 2 seconds. On my local webserver they are pretty fast compared to usual ASP code (seeing as ASP+ is compiled now) but still nothing compared to C++ app's. Also there are a lot of layers to navigate and methods been called behind the scenes when you use a webservice request.

I know none of those were solution-answers, but maybe at least one answered part of what you asked. Big Grin | :-D

In my ASP+ page, I have three radio buttons for 'Vacaction', 'Paid Absence', and 'Other'. Next to the 'Other' radio button is a TextBox, where the user is supposed to specify what the 'Other' reason is for requesting time off. Following the TextBox, I have a CustomValidator WebControl that calls a ClientValidationFunction that, at this time, simply has the line 'alert("Hello");'. My problem is that right now, the function only gets called if I enter text in to the field. What I want to have happen is that anytime the 'Other' radio button is checked, if the TextBox is empty, then the validator should flag, and the error message should become visible. Here is the relevant code:

<asp:radiobutton id="optVacation" text="Vacation" checked="true" groupname="AttendanceType" runat=server/> 
<asp:radiobutton id="optPaidAbsence" text="Paid Absence" groupname="AttendanceType" runat=server/> 
<asp:radiobutton id="optOther" text="Other (Specify)" groupname="AttendanceType" runat=server/>
<asp:textbox id="txtOther" class="TextBox" width="300" runat=server/><asp:customvalidator id="OtherValidator" ClientValidationFunction="IsOtherFilled" ControlToValidate="txtOther" display="static" runat=server>Please specify Attendance (Other)</asp:customvalidator>

And the function:

function IsOtherFilled(source, value)
{
	alert("Hello"); //This is only called if txtOther has text in it, but should be called regardless
}

Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to provide.

Hi,

Recently I received the Beta for VS.Net.
After installation of the windows Component update CD, I tried installing the visual studio.net Beta1 CD. While copying /intstalling files it says cannot find win32.ncb File.

Can anybody please let me know what is the problem ?

Thanks & regards,
K M Bansal
Confused | :confused:

I had the same problem with the Beta1 CD. The file layout on the CD is incompatable with some CD drives apparently. The installation failed on two different CD drives because the CD was not readable. Finally it worked on a Samsung 24x CD drive.

Try installing from your hd instead. Transfer the content of the two cd's to a single folder. It worked for me. Wink | ;)

Can someone else confirm this? I am compiling some code (not mine) that uses "_identifier" as a parameter and variable name in various locations. When using the CL.EXE that comes with the VS .Net beta, it chokes when it hits "_identifier" in the source code! Eek! | :eek:

Can anyone else try to use that as an identifier and see what happens?

Thanks!

-=- James.

Do you have some code that could help me out. I lost mine. I need to create a self extracting executable file Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

so is it pronounced it as 'dot net'? Actually I never heard anybody talking about it yet Smile | :)

Yes, it's pronounced "dot net", and is usually referred to as the .NET platform.

I am dying to get my hands on the VS7 and .NET. My question is whether the latest or up coming installments of MSDN Universal Subscription will have beta version of VS7 and .NET.

It doesn't look like it. They were taking sign-ups for beta testers a few weeks back. There has been no indication to us as a Universal shop that we'll be getting it automatically.

I can't remember if we got VS6 as a beta for certain, but I don't believe so.

Sorry, this is wrong: Visual Studio.NET B1 was shipped a couple of months ago to all MSDN pro and universal subscribers, and B2 will be shipped to these same subscribers when released.

Hi all,

Haven't been able to go to the PDC. Heard that the server version will be available only in 2002. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks

I think what they mean by that is that in 2002 (I assume with Blackcomb or whatever it's called) they'll release a set of services similar to COM+ that would take care of load balancing, messaging, role-based security, God knows what else.
I understand it must take time to do those things, I don't blame them, on another hand it gives an advantage to their competition - J2EE servers are already available.
PS:
I don't actually know it but seams like a good guess.
