I was trying the ASP.NET login control tutorial and everything works well. However, I do not know how to have the Log-in control use my own database (SQL Server 2005) instead of using it's mdf file. I also have no idea where this file was created from since it doesn't show up at all on my solution. Any literature that I can find on the w...
I'm beginning to toy with the new ASP.NET MVC framework, and reading around in some tutorials I saw that in addition to creating the MVC project, theres an option to add a Unit Test project, using the Test framework (which I have) thats basically already set up for MVC testing. Its supposed to pop up when you create a new MVC project, an...

I'm building a static ASP.NET site (using Masterpages and a few forms) and I'm about to release it onto my production server. I know about changing <compilation debug="true"> to false, but I'm wondering what other things I can do to obtain the highest speed possible. There is no data access in the site, it's all static content. Does an...

We recently upgraded our intranet dev server (Windows Server 2003) to the latest and greatest patches, including 2k3 sp2 and the latest for each version of .NET. We have a variety of technologies that we use, including COM+, ASP, ASP.NET 1.1, ASP.NET 2.0, and ColdFusion. So testing can be, well, interesting, as those technologies don't ...
I have a search form in an app I'm currently developing, and I would like for it to be the equivalent of method="GET". Thus, when clicking the search button, the user goes to search.aspx?q=the+query+he+entered The reason I want this is simply bookmarkeable URLs, plus it feels cleaner to do it this way. I obviously don't want all the vie...

I'm not at all familiar with VB.NET or ASP. I need to create a simple page which makes a call to a remote web service. I used the wsdl utility which comes with the DotNet SDK to generate a service proxy and write it to a VB file. Unfortunately I have no idea how to reference this code in either my ASPX file or the code behind VB file so ...
