Anyone ever get this to work. Posted previous problems. With much screwing
around I got past them.

Now I have a simple ascx file with a code behind.

Only line in ascx:
<%@ WebService Language="VB" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/LogFilesPlayed.vb"
Class="LogFilesPlayed" %>

Error 1 Could not create type 'LogFilesPlayed'. C:\Visual Studio
Projects\Music Player Web Site\MusicSite\LogFilesPlayed.asmx 1


This is pretty much insane. I installed VWD 2008 and made new folder, and
ran it. There must be something I am missing or is the wonderful conversion
wizard not that great?

I knew it would not be simple to convert but this is crazy.

Thanks
Lloyd Sheen

Ok now it seems that somehow I managed to convince VS 2008 that my folder
structure required that the top level folder was the solution. Now the
original solution contained the web site and a project with the DAL. Simply
creating a new folder with the web site folder and the DAL folder did not
work and all the references were totally out of wack.

What I had to do was delete all this so that VS 2008 told me it could not
find it and then recopy the two folders under a general folder I have
created for VS projects.

I could then open the web site and add an existing project (DAL). This
brings things back to "normal"

I have noticed in my testing that several things I thought were fixed
(enhanced) are not. The support for Ajax Toolkit is worse in the designer
that VS 2005. Using the Tab control a simple click of the container to see
the user control used for each tab somehow screwed up the entire layout. I
copied the old markup back in and things were ok but still unusable in the
designer. Before I did this I used the CTL-Z trick to keep going back and
...... (wait for it) the designer would goback a step (one for each click of
a tab) until there was nothing more to go back to and then .... (wait for it
again) VS 2008 shut down (that is why I had to recopy the code).

I am not impressed.

You may "not be impressed", but you are complaining about a lot of common
issues that revolve around conversion of projects that you just need to study
and get to the point where you understand. You are not alone.

Sorry forgot to put the <rant> tags in my statements. But I am still amazed
that this being my 3rd workstation with VS 2003 / 2005 and 2008 that the IDE
still gives problems with graphics. The Start/Debug toolbar still does not
show as enabled unless you move the mouse over it and I still have to
sometimes minimize / restore to get the IDE back in working order. That is
3 PCs with different configuration including graphics cards and OS both XP
Pro and Vista Ultimate.

</rant>

Thanks
LS
