Using VS 2005

I have someone at work starting to look at converting our 2002 projects to
2005 and had quite a few problems with the project.

I thought you could use either 1 or 2 file (codebehind) method.

But when I create a project, I can't seem to find a place to make that
choice. Is there a place to make that choice when building a Web App?

Also, when my friend tried to change the class name in the source file, the
other files couldn't seem to find it. In 2002, the program fixes the other
files to point to the new class.

We are also finding that the 2005 development system seems to run quite a
bit slower and we are running on a fairly fast machine.

Thanks,

Tom

I am unaware of any option to not use codebehind. I mean, obviously you
could not put anything in it. Or delete it and change the .aspx
accordingly.

As for 2005, it is quite a bit slower. I've found one of the keys to be
memory. I would recommend at least 1 GB. With that, it seems to run much
better.

My experience is that VS 2005 loads and runs faster than VS 2003. But,
I am running it on a laptop with 2 gb of memory.

I have 2 GB of memory now as well. Speeds are comparable.

When I had less memory, there was a very noticeable difference. Especially
when using the designer - 2005 took forever.

Hi,

If you are upgrading a website from asp.net 1.1 to 2.0 I would
download and install the web application project. It uses the same project
model as asp.net 1.1. When you create a web form you are given the option to
use a code behind file not when you create a project.

That solved the Code behind problem.

We did run into an issue I was reading about:
http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/08/25/LosingComponents.aspx

My friend is having a real problem with using DataBase Componants (that he
used to put down in the tray area which is now gone). Non-visual components
are showing up as grey boxes in your designer?????

How dumb is that? How are you supposed to build your VISUAL page when half
the page has these grey boxes on them?

Now you get to see your User Controls which is great, but now they replaced
that with non-visual boxes.

Is there a way to turn those off?

Thanks,

Tom
