I just wrote some new utility methods within a non-page class for an existing .NET webforms application and decided to try to unit test using the VS unit test framework rather than testing by hand. I've used the unit test tools before, but only on EXE and MVC projects, and am encountering an error connecting to the WebHostAdapter no mat...
I had an argument with one of my friends who is an architect at a pretty large internet company. Basically he was saying that ASP.NET MVC is not for large-scale enterprise applications, that it is not as flexible as WebForms, and that an MVC app will be slower than a web forms app. From my own experience working with MVC, I can say tha...
I am using the ajaxform() plugin, which so far is working well. However, my input fields have default values, and if the user just submits the untouched form, I need to blank them out before the form is submitted using the beforeSubmit: callback. In nutshell, I don't know the syntax to check the forms input fields and stop the submit i...
Recently, my Visual Studio 2008(with Resharper 4.5) has started to reformat asp tags into lowercase. Example: <asp:Repeater runat="server" id="rp"> becomes <asp:repeater runat="server" id="rp"> and I can't find a way to make it not do this. I use Ctrl-k Ctrl-d to reformat. I've tried resetting the Visual Studio settings, turning...
I know to never trust user input, since undesirable input could be compromise the application's integrity in some way, be it accidental or intentional; however, is there a case for calling Page.IsValid even when no validation controls are on the page (again, I know its bad practice to be trusting user input by omitting validation)? Does ...
This is a two part question. Is it possible to take advantage of xVal's automatic client side validation with ASP.NET WebForms? If so, are there any examples available? I imagine that it would be possible to extend xVal to include ASP.NET Validator controls. These controls would be the WebForms equivalent of <%= Html.ClientSideValida...
I can get an UpdatePanel control working(partial postbacks) no problem with a new fresh .net 3.5 project. I've overcome many of the pitfalls that are answered here on this site. (scriptmanager on the page, using triggers, or placing the button within the panel itself.) If I have try to use the UpdatePanel on a project that was origi...
I have an existing asp.net webforms application that I would like to add some unit testing to but am unsure of exactly how to go about it. The application is database driven with functionality I guess you could compare to an advanced forum. Logic, data access and presentation are seperated for the most part. What methods should I be te...

Well I have a Pop up in the WebBroswer control of the .NET Framework that I capture with the NewWindow event handler like so. WebBrowser w = new WebBrowser(); SHDocVw.WebBrowser_V1 web = (SHDocVw.WebBrowser_V1)w.ActiveXInstance; web.NewWindow += new SHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents_NewWindowEventHandler(web_NewWindow); The new Popup is in a ...
I am just starting on a complex data entry form and thought I'd ask for input from anyone that may have gone down a similar road before. The form is going to represent a cost estimate (plus additional information) for a project consisting of multiple tasks. All TaskTypes are pre-defined in metadata for a ProjectType, and can consist of...
Let's say I have two webforms, A.aspx and B.aspx, where B.aspx contains some simple web controls such as a textbox and a button. I'm trying to do the following: When A.aspx is requested, I want to dynamically call and load B.aspx into memory and output details of all the controls contained in B.aspx. Here is what I tried in the codebe...
I know that the reason that Microsoft came out with ASP.NET MVC was to make it simpler to do Test Driven Design (TDD) for ASP.NET. However, I have a rather large brown field (existing) application in ASP.NET WebForms that I would love to implement some TDD type functionality in. I'm assuming that there IS a way to do this, but what are...

Hi guys, I have a (big) problem that all of you that work with Webforms might have. The problem is the time to load a page. Using localhost (witch should be the fastest mode) in Vista (IIS 7) I get this graph original file link as you can see, it takes more than 17 seconds to show the page!!! and only 2 seconds to load the page it...
I want to display at the bottom of my pages a simple "built in x.yz seconds" text, to easily check various options. (some pages are built using parameters entered in a previous page by a "regular" user, who would like too to see the results of his decisions) I know I can use traces in asp.net, but it's not very user-friendly, and I fear...
