Web Form Newbie
-
I've been working in Visual Foxpro forever and I've just recently learned VB.Net for windows forms and gotten pretty good at that. Now, I've spent the last week trying to learn web form development in VB.Net and can't figure out what's going on... What looks and works great under "View in Browser" blows up on the Intranet. All of the labels, textboxes and buttons disappear. At one point I had everything disappearing under "View in Browser", but then I figured out I was using the wrong set of controls. Then I got it to where things looked good in the browser preview but disappeared when I hit F5 for a test run. Now, things that look good in the preview AND run on F5, disappear on the Intranet. I understand that stumbling is ok, so long as you're stumbling forward. At this point though, I don't have time for stumbling. I need to get this one up right away. ======== Stewart

"View in Browser" isn't meant to allow you to run and debug a web form. If you have it running in Debug mode, and you need to release it on the Intranet: * Compile in release mode * Install .NET on the server * Create a new virtual directory on the server * Copy the \bin directory and *.as?x and web.config to the server * Cross your fingers... What a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable . . . and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? -- Hamlet, Act II, Scene ii.
