I did try removing the web.config and adding it again, no luck. Here is my web.config. <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"> <sectionGroup name="scripting" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"> <section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/> <sectionGroup name="webServices" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingWebServicesSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"> <section name="jsonSerialization" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="Everywhere" /> <section name="profileService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingProfileServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" /> <section name="authenticationService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" /> <section name="roleService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingRoleServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" /> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <appSettings> </appSettings> <connectionStrings> <clear /> <add name="EGGConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BOST60;Initial Catalog=EGG;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=egg_sys;Password=XXXX" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <!-- Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging symbols into the compiled page.

I actually do refer to the connectionstring by name, (I showed the item(0) above to show what connectionstring is being found), but it is still finding that default sql express one. I tried the </clear> command, but it's still picking up the default web.config. I'm running the webservice in a ASP.NET development server (e.h. localhost:2018/eggwebservice), so I don't really even understand where this other config from is from? There is no web.config in the parent folders...? I don't understand at all why my web.config is being ignored like this.

I started a new VS 2008 solution today, and I can't for the life of me figure something out. I've created two projects in the solution, a windows client, and a webservice. The windows client calls the webservice passing it xml documents that are parsed and then logged into a database. The problem is that the web service can't seem to find the web.config file. Calls to the application settings return nothing. (System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("SQLServer").ToString) What's even weirder is the calls to the Connectionstrings return something else. System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(0).ConnectionString This: "data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" instead of what is REALLY in my web.config file, this: "Data Source=BOST60;Initial Catalog=EGG;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=egg_sys;Password=xxxx" Here is the full text of my connectionstring section of my web.config. <connectionStrings> <add name="EGGConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BOST60;Initial Catalog=EGG;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=egg_sys;Password=xxxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> What am I doing wrong?

I have an interesting problem. Using a databound grid with comboboxes, when I sort a comboboxes column, it sorts using the underlying value instead of the text of the combo box. It seems my sorting options are severely limited since I'm databound, has anyone come across this before and found a solution? All I've found online is this, but I don't think it is going to work for me.

You're right, that is a 2003 version. For 2005, try this: Imports System.Net.Mail Private Sub SendEmail() Dim objMailMessage As MailMessage Dim objSmtpClient As SmtpClient Try 'Create the email objMailMessage = New MailMessage("me@myaddress.com", "bill@microsoft.com", "Hi Bill", "Bye Bill") 'Send the email objSmtpClient = New SmtpClient objSmtpClient.Host = "smtp.mine.com" objSmtpClient.Send(objMailMessage) End Function

I'm interested in extending the capabilities of the SQL Profiler. I have a very good reason for doing this, I'd really like to trace individual processes. I assume that it just uses stored procedures to run itself (maybe some system stored procedures too). I tried tracing the profiler with another profiler, but didn't come up with anything useful. Does anyone know of any articles or tips that might help me?

I agree. I think the program is running successfully and then exiting. Everything looks ok.

That's what I thought, thanks.

In my web.config file I have a line that controls the timeout in minutes: <sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes" cookieless="false" timeout="180"/> This example is set for 3 hours. I noticed a setting in IIS today (properties>Configuration>Options) where the session state timeout is set to 20 minutes. Does anyone know how these settings work together? Do they have to be the same or does one override the other...? thanks.

Look on Microsoft.com for Multi-tiered applications. The basic idea is that each level of your application is seperate and can be replaced with another part with minimal rework. For example you might have two layers, a User Interface and a Dataaccess class. If you need to change from SQL to Oracle, you'd only have to change the dataaccess class - the UI doesn't need any rework. Well in theory anyway. :)

What are you talking about. These examples would be the same in C# or Vb.

why would me ever BE nothing? I think some of my early best code was something along the lines of: If not blnIsNotaCustomer = true then 'do [something] end if. Talk about confusing...

When I open VS, I get a start page, I know there is an option to turn it off, but it has 3 tabs. The 2nd tab is "Online Resources", and the 2nd to bottom item is "XML Web services" where you can search for web services.

Theres a search page for public web services on the start page of Visual Studio when you first load it up.

I've gone right back to the drawing board, and I can't even get the simplist of ASP.NET projects to work. This is what I do: 1. Copy the ASP.NET project to the development laptop. Configure the project in IIS, adding it as an application, and then setting the asp.net version to 2.0. Note that before I convert to VS.NET 2005 and the .net version is set to 1.1, it works fine. 2. Open the web site in VS.NET 2005 and build. no errors or warnings. Open the website in my browser. I always get this error: (any more ideas...? Is there someone else who is trying to do this who has been successful???).
