This is my first time ever i encountered with cshtml extension, and asp.net.
What have i done so far..
I installed Visual Studio Community 2017 with
.NET desktop development
ASP.NET and web development
.NET Core cross-platform development
The code, that i need to modify is in cshtml extension. When i try to run it,
ctrl+shift+w all i get is
I don't have anyone to ask, and you people are my last option

I used to use MS Visual Web Development (VWD) Express 2008 as IDE for a website which was developed on .NET framework 2.5 with VB.NET and runs on IIS 7 originally. About a year ago, MS stopped downloading the VWD Express 2008 and now I am in need of an IDE for my old VB.NET website. Which IDE will allow me to maintain this old VB.NET website?
Here is the detail info of VS 2019 community installed:
Here is screen shot of the existing project I am maintaining.
You can go with Visual Studio Express.
(edit: It is now called Visual Studio Community Edition).
It should work fine. To be honest, I never used Visual Web Developer.
Just keep in mind, that you want to open the project as a web site, and NOT a project. Quite sure that's how VW developer worked and was setup.
I'm not even sure they have VW developer anymore, but Visual Studio Express 2019 should be able to open + work on that web site.
So, to open a web application project, then you use this option:
(this means you have a .sln file).
So this:
However, this might ONLY be a web site project. So, you can use this option:
So, I would certinly try to open the project (folder) where the site exists, and see if you can find a .sln file.
If there is no .sln file, then you can try to open the .vbproj file.
But if you open a "web site", then you ONLY select the folder where the web site exists. (you don't open .sln, or .vbproj file - but open the FOLDER.
VS 2017 is the last one that explicitly mention supports for .NET 3.5, and the Community version is still available with the free Dev Essentials account. If you're ineligible for Community, then the Visual Studio Express 2015 for Web is the one you want.
That said, even in the latest VS 2022, I still see the option to switch a project to target .NET 3.5, and the template still offers Web Form development.
I have a huge enterprise asp.net application that perfectly builds and runs on servers. We've been using Visual Studio 2013 in our workflow. Now we want to migrate to newer IDEs. But if I build this application in Visual Studio 2017 I'll get this error.
Error BC40004 sub 'PreInit' conflicts with event 'PreInit' in the base class 'Page' and should be declared 'Shadows'.
I think it's a problem with VB compiler version (again vs2013 builds project). Do you have any idea how to fix this?
My solution contains 40+ projects. The main project is asp.net webforms app written in VB.net. Other projects are services and code libraries written in C#.
I tried to specify VB.net version in .vdproj manually. But it didn't solve my problem.
edit: Fine. Thank you all for your responses. I got that problem is about code and that visual studio analyzer has changed a lot in the last few years. I'll try to find out the reasons why this code have been working without exceptions.
BC40004 is a warning, this shouldn't prevent you to compile the solutions unless you set the Treat warnings as errors on the project's property under the tab compilation.
I have been asked to update my Visual Studio with asp.net core. But the update told me I already have this component. However when I look in the list for New Project I can find nothing which includes the word CORE.
How do I work this out?
I'm not talking about a single Visual Studio Project or File. I'm talking about the whole program. I have to update the program.
You need to download Tooling Preview 2 to get the asp.net core templates. That is a bug in the visual studio 2015. Please follow the following steps to resolve this issue
This is what your add new project dialog will look like once you have .net core installed correctly. Were you able to resolve this?
Is it a console app or a web app? If you have a .xproj file in your Visual Studio project, then you have ASP.NET Core web application. Probably the same for an ASP.NET Core console application.
I'm compiling ASP.NET code for the first time ever and I'm stumped.
I downloaded MINGW-Get and just finished installing it. The client gave me the source code and I found a file called RSConfig.exe.
So I assumed that was the config file, ran it, and then tried "make" but got the error
No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop
Any idea what I'm supposed to do? I don't see anything that would resemble a makefile in the source code.
Thanks in advance!
Do yourself a favour and install Visual Studio Express:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express
It makes development easier and fast
It sounds like you might want to get familiar with the background concepts around asp.net and it's defacto development environment Visual Studio (there are many versions of visual studio).
As Andrei recommends, using Visual Studio Express is a good free way of getting started. The version most suited for web development is Visual Web Developer Express.
Attempting to compile .net code from a toolset such as MinGW isn't a typical route for using asp.net, however I've not used MinGW before and not sure it's possible to compile .net code from it.... Although it is perfectly possible to compile .net code from the command line (using the .net framework sdk) , I certainly wouldn't recommend it if you are getting started.
I'm going to make a guess that it is an ASP.net web forms project, it being the most prolific asp.net project type at the moment.
This official asp.net site http://www.asp.net/web-forms will guide you through what web forms are and how to get the development environment setup. Having this sort of background will aid you in solving your particular situation.
Doesn't Visual Studio generate all kinds of things when you build asp.net websites? I haven't used it in a while but back in webforms with a the dal and a bll, VS generated xml files and other things (don't remember what). And, while I technically could use notepad to fix it, VS seemed to be the only way to make sure things worked right.
How about today with MVC or something else asp.net? Am I tied to Visual Studio forever if I want to build websites? I liked in PHP that I can open up a file and it be simple to change things and it just works.
I am not knocking Visual Studio. It is a great product, but for those in my group that do not use it, it is a learning curve. Not asking for why asp.net is better than php or vice versa, just about visual studio.
EDIT: Is Visual Studio the BEST way to build asp.net projects?
You can use MonoDevelop, Webmatrix, Visual Studio Express but i suggest SharpDevelop, its open source.
sharpDevelop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C#, VB.NET and Boo projects on Microsoft's .NET platform. It is open-source, and you can download both sourcecode and executables from this site. In addition, you can find the latest information and changes on #develop, as well as get in touch with the team in the forum.

No, you can build with MSBuild from command line, just simple msbuild.exe app.sln
You can also use MonoDevelop, which will run on Windows/Mac/Linux.
You could use Microsoft WebMatrix, which is free and aims to simplify the web development process. Another alternative is MonoDevelop, which is an open source IDE for multiple platforms.
