What is the minimum I need to add to a .NET 2.0 WebSite's web.config to make it .NET 3.5? Visual Studio adds all the config sections and script handlers, but if you aren't using those are they are really necessary? Is there a command line tool to "upgrade" a .NET 2.0 web.config to 3.5? ...
How do I execute the "Copy Web Site" command for an ASP.NET project in VS2008 from the command line? If I need to script this, let me have some pointers on where I can learn that. ...
I'm considering using the ChangePassword control on an ASP.NET 2.0 Webform. I don't want the 'cancel' button to show. Is there a good way to hide it without resorting to silly "width = 0" sort of games? Or perhaps there's a generic way to walk through the parts of a composite control like this and hide individual parts? ...
Here's a wierd one. I'm reusing a code base that unfortunately, must not be updated. This code makes a call to HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString. Ideally, I need to push a value into this collection with every request that is made. Is this possible - perhaps in an HTTP Module? ...
Since there are no header sections for user controls in asp.net, user controls have no way of knowing about stylesheet files. So css classes in the user controls are not recognized by visual studio and produces warnings. How can I make a user control know that it will relate to a css class, so if it is warning me about a non-existing css...

I have a gridview that is within an updatepanel for a modal popup I have on a page. The issue is that the entire page refreshes every time I click an imagebutton that is within my gridview. This causes my entire page to load and since I have grayed out the rest of the page so that the user cannot click on it this is very annoying. Does ...
I've found ScriptingJsonSerializationSection but I'm not sure how to use it. I could write a function to convert the object to a JSON string manually, but since .Net can do it on the fly with the <System.Web.Services.WebMethod()> and <System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod()> attributes so there must be a built-in way that I'm missing. ...

I'm working on a side project that would be a simple web application to maintain a list of classes and their upcoming schedules.

I'm using a native DLL (FastImage.dll) in a C# ASP.NET Web Service that sometimes locks (can't delete it---says access denied); this requires stopping IIS to delete the DLL. The inability to delete this DLL in the bin folder of my published Web Service prevents me from publishing successfully (even though it thinks it published successfu...

According to Microsoft the FileUpload control is not compatible with an AJAX UpdatePanel. I am aware that a PostBackTrigger can be added to the submit button of the form like this: <Triggers> <asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" /> </Triggers> The problem is that this forces the form to perform a full post-back which voids out...

I am working on an ASP.NET project which is physically located at C:\Projects\MyStuff\WebSite2. When I run the app with the Visual Studio debugger it seems that the built in web server considers "C:\Projects\MyStuff\" to be the relative root, not "C:\Projects\MyStuff\WebSite2". Is there a web.config setting or something that will allow t...
