MVC View With "Content" in Name Not Loading, Showing VirtualFile instead - asp.net

I have a view named _RequirementAreaExtranetContent. When trying to load it, I get the VirtualFile content from my VirtualPathProvider. I have boiled it down to the simplest HTML inside, and also replaced the content with that of a partial view that IS working. Does anyone have any idea why it may not be loading?

It turns out you CANNOT have a view named content. I cannot find this documented anywhere, but when I renamed it to _RequirementAreaExtranetContelt it worked fine. I would love to know if anyone knows what happens with this, but hopefully it at least will save someone the headache I have from slamming their head against it for an hour :)

Wordpress Doesn't Like My Page Template Name

Wondering if anyone has ever come across this problem. I've searched and searched and can't find a solution. It's probably staring me right in the face.
I've named a page template (page-exhibitions.php) and for some reason this page name does not display the content on it. It stops loading right after the header and picks back up on the footer, skipping over the entire template, but reading at least my get_header / get_footer.
No matter what else I name this page template, it works fine. I've check spelling until it's made me lose my mind. Any ideas?

Different header in MigraDoc

I have been looking around and I cant find a way to do this as I want.
I have MigraDoc creating a PDF that can be one page or more, the header on the first page I would like to be different to every other page. E.g. First page has a logo and all others do NOT. So I need more then one header. This is something that I have found to do using
Section.PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True
The problem that I have is that this also means that the footer (that will not change at all) does not show up on the first page. For the Footer I am using a table Section.Footers.Primary.AddTable.
I could use a "quick fix" by just copying the table (footer) and pasting it with it changed to section.Footers.FirstPage.AddTable but then I would have a ton of code that is just messy and not needed as the footer does not change, is there a way around this?
Any help would be great. I will continue to look around to see if i can find anything more on this.
You could also use
section.Footers.FirstPage = Section.Footers.Primary.Clone()
after calling AddTable().
Maybe it would be enough to just all section.Footers.FirstPage.AddTable - IIRC the first page footer will be used for all pages if you do not assign a special primary footer (but I could be wrong about this; I'll check this Wednesday or Thursday).
Well, as no one else can answer this the best way I found to "solve" this problem is to create a function that creates the table. Then I call the function and use it as Section.Footers.Primary and section.Footers.FirstPage
If anyone does have a better way please do feel free to give a comment or something.

What kind of loading content is this?

http://www.google.com/insidesearch/tipstricks/all.html
I have seen many site load its content this way. It loads all the resources first (very fast) and leaves the blank character if the text is not already loaded.
I'm so sorry, my english is so bad but I really want to know what is this method's name and can I do that in asp.net.
Thanks in advance.
i did a view source of that link and i found this:-
/* force load of image for specific section requested first */
Its a script tag, maybe this is the thing you have to google/research

Contentplaceholders in masterpage resizes

being new to asp I seem to be stumbling into a problem.
I have a masterpage with a table and several buttons. So far , so good.
When i go to a different file that uses my masterpage my contentholder changes it's size and that's not the way I wanted it ( for instance if I put in a label or some text). How do I prevent this from doing this?
For clarification I have got a screenshot.
The first screenshot is how I want it (look at the distance between home, trailer etc. and the title "DOCHTERS").

The second is what happens is I put in a label or another object (or even plain text ) of some sort(look at the distance between "DOCHTERS" and home, trailer etc.).

Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix this?
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
You may want to run this application and see if turns out right because sometimes its just something with the WYSIWYG engine of the IDE.

How to use jQuery to show a different page in ASP.NET

I am trying to set up functionality similar to Netflix. Where if you mouseover a movie - you are presented with a window of movie details (all client-side).
At high level, can someone in this forum help by telling me how this should be implemented? I.E., one or more .aspx pages, what would go in code-behind, and .js file, css, etc. Just trying to get an idea on how this would be set up to work.
Basically, when I hover over an item, I need to query for details that belongs for that record being moused-over and display it in the window or div. I also need to have some functionality in that window (i.e. a textbox and button which will end up needing to get saved in a database).
Thanks for any tips and suggestions -
You would want to add an AJAX call to the hover event of the image, that pulls from a webservice/web method.
Here is a good example, you would change some things. However, it should get you started.

If I understood your question correctly, you should try this excelent jQuery plugin:

Look at the demo here:
http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/examples/image-hover/
easy to install and configure and very slick!
Good luck
EDIT: sorry wrong lik the first time
There are certainly many jQuery plugins that will do this for you. jQuery UI may also be of benefit.
Here is one that appears to do something like you are describing:
