Why no Atlas Web Site template?

Hello -

Just getting started with Atlas. Downloaded and installed ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Beta 2 and ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Futures November CTP, but when I go to open a new Web site in VS2005, "Atlas" Web Site does not appear under My Templates (as the tutorials indicat should be the case).

What does appear under Installed Templates is ASP.NET Ajax-Enabled Web Site and ASP.NET Ajax CTP-Enabled Web Site. I chose the latter; however, none of the controls with the Atlas prefix (such as <atlas:ScriptManager>) are available to me through type-ahead.

Any suggestions on this are appreciated.

I just posted the same issue 15 minutes ago, Can please pass along any information if you come up with a fix.

In beta 2 version, prefix 'atlas' is replaced by 'asp'.
In beta 2 version, prefix 'atlas' is replaced by 'asp'. I am not sure what this means... Details please.

The responder means:

<atlas:ScriptManager>)

is now

<asp:ScriptManager>)

Does this mean that we no longer need the Atlas Web Site Template? Is it replaced with the ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Site?
That is correct forget you even heard the word Atlas (its all Ajax now)
Thanks for the help. I am new at this programming and I have a lot to learn in a little time.

Hi,

When you install AJAX Extensions Beta2, It will adds some controls to Visual Studio2005 ToolBox.

So, open one ASP.NET website and click the ToolBox, goto AJAX Extensions Tab, click that Tab, it will show all controls which are newly installed.

All controls[UpdatePanel,..] will starts with 'asp'.

in design mode, drag-and-drop one control into the design view and goto the source view, there you will see the AJAX controls syntax.

Wiki Januari/Februari CTP question

Downloaded the latest bits of the Wiki but was unable to attach the needed database files to my SQL Server 2005.I can't run SQL Express beside SQL Server for some stupid reason so I'm missing the .ldf files in order to be able to get the project going.

Can these .ldf files be retrieved somehow or is there some other procedure that I can use to get the .mdf files attached?

Or even better can someone explain me why I can see SQL Express in the SQL Server Managament Studio and play with it but when I want to view the databases in my App_Data subfolder in VS.NET 2005 I'm unable to get access to it... Error message always gives me this:

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.

Also when I just want to run an application by hitting F5 I get this message.

Thanks in advance!Anyone?

Hi,

I already provided an answer toyour post that pointed to this one. You can use the

sp_attach_single_file_db command to get it to work.

Without installing Atlas, Website application is not working in IE

Hello,

I am developing Website Application using VS 2005 with .NET 2.0 and Atlas June CTP. I am using Atlas framework in the existing project. Hence I have added reference of Atlas.dll and modified Web.config

In the project, I have one user control (ascx) and one aspx page. The user control is included in aspx page. The user control has two dropdown lists. The second list is getting populated depends upon the selected value from first list. This is done by using Atlas. The UpdateControl is added into this page. The Script manager is added in aspx page.

If the application is launched on the machine where Atlas is installed, it works only on that machine in both browsers (IE and FireFox). It is not working if anybody accesses this website remotely through browser from machine where Atlas is not installed.

If the application is launched on the machine where Atlas is not installed and accessed the local website through browser, the "SelectedIndexChanged" event is not getting triggered. If I add "ScriptLibrary" folder in the application, it is working in FireFox but not in IE. In this case,do I need to add any assemblies apart from Atlas.dll to make it work in IE and without installing Atlas?

Thanks in advance,

Milind

hello. the atlas dll is the only thing you need to have in your bin folder to get the updatepanel working. btw, how are you accessing the web site from the machine that has the app installed? are you using localhost/... or localhost: portnumber/... (ie, are you using the internal server or IIS when you access the site on the server?)

Hello,
I am accessing localhost using IIS.
On the test machine (where Atlas is not installed), if I deploy website application which has Atlas.dll and ScriptLibrary folder, "SelectedIndexChanged" event is getting triggered for FireFox but not in IE.

Thanks,
Milind

hello again.

weird stuff...btw, is this a public url we can see?

Without installing Atlas, its not working in IE

I am developing Website Application using VS 2005 and Atlas June CTP. In the application, one page contains user control which has two Dropdown lists. Depending upon the value of first dropdown list, using Atlas, second list will get populated. I have added UpdatePanel control in user control (ascx page) for second list and Script manager in aspx page. I have added reference of Atlas.dll and modified Web.config also. This is working in IE and FireFox.
If I uninstall Atlas and run the application, it's not working in IE. To make it work in FireFox, I need to include "Scriptlibrary" folder into solution. But in IE, "SelectedIndexChanged" event is not getting triggered.
The application is working fine for both the browsers on machine where Atlas is installed. Which other assemblies are required to run Atlas on the machine where Atlas is not installed?

Thanks in advance,
Milind

hello.

well, if you're not using the atlas toolkit, then you only need the atlas dll.

Hello,
I am not using Atlas toolkit. Atlas.dll is already present in the "Reference" but still it's not working. Everything is working fine on developer's machine where Atlas is installed.

Thanks,
Milind

hello again.

the only thing that occurs to me is if the web site is not configred as a web app or is not using asp.net 2.0...

Working With HoverMenuExtender with ASP .NET Menu Control

Hi!

Now I am working with Atlas April CTP.

I am trying to get HoverMenu on ASP. Net Menu Control to edit n delete the Menus at runtime.

Can anybody Help me whether it is possible or not...

waiting for reply...

Thanks and Regards,

L V Prasad Yedla.

I have the same problem. I was looking at this though and this isexactly what i need. The problem is i cannot get it to bind to asingle line of my gridview, or my treeview.
I am assuming you will have in the link button an 'Edit' command that will be placed in your C# code.

http://atlas.asp.net/atlastoolkit/HoverMenu/HoverMenu.aspx

Has anyone done this?
any pointers/hints?

You'll need to do something similar to the demo page where you

1) Specify a static/dynamic template for the menu

2) Put the extender in there next to the item

thanks for the quick reply.

could you be more specific on what i need to do with the menu?
my menu looks similar to the sample. which properties do i need to make static/dynamic?

thanks

I assume you're using the <DataBindings> section in the menu. In that case, it just generates the default HTML. You'll need to make it do a template. Check out the documentation for the Menu control - basically it's got a <StaticItemTemplate> and a <DynamicItemTemplate> that allow you to to customize what it generates. You'll need to do that and put the extender in there.

XHTML 1.1 Firefox and Opera problem

I installed AJAX Beta2 and used the CTP template to create a new web site. Which creates default.aspx page, with the doc type of:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

I have a table with images. I run the page in IE7 looks perfect. I ran in FF and Opera the cells height are 5 to 10 px to big. After pulling my hair for about 2 hours. I notice the doctype.

I set it to this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

And the table is correct (works in IE as well).

Should an AJAX site doctype be XHTML 1.1? Does it matter? Why did this break firefox on something so simple as a table?

Thanks

Rick 

AJAX should support site doctype XHTML 1.1 in the release version. I aslo find the similar issue to yours.The Ajax control size?is?somewhat?different?
in?different?browers?such?as?IE,FireFox,Opera,Safari.

Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.
The Ajax technique uses a combination of:
XHTML (or HTML) and CSS, for marking up and styling information.
The DOM accessed with a client-side scripting language, especially ECMAScript implementations such as JavaScript and JScript, to dynamically display and interact with the information presented.
The XMLHttpRequest object is used to exchange data asynchronously with the web server. In some Ajax frameworks and in certain situations, an IFrame object is used instead of the XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data with the web server, and in other implementations, dynamically added <script> tags may be used.
XML is sometimes used as the format for transferring data between the server and client, although any format will work, including preformatted HTML, plain text, JSON and even EBML. These files may be created dynamically by some form of server-side scripting.
