I inherited a web site that I know little about. I've worked with asp.net/C# websites, but this seems to be something different. There is no code behind for me to put a break point and step through it. Also several refernces in the program can't be found. My general question is: How do I debug this program in Visual Studio?
Specifc questions related to this sample code:
Where do I put my break point?
What happens in this sample when a user clicks the submit button?
The program inherits "Company.Program.SystemLogin". I can't find that class in any of the code. Why not and how do I find it?

If you have inherited an application without source code, you have a tough challenge ahead of you.
You could use dotpeek or reflector to decompile the DLLs in order to recreate the source code, but this will be an onerous task.
My first point of call would be to find out if the source code was available anywhere.

Requirement is to place both placeholder next to each other

I have a few checkbox controls inside a <td> that I need to disable so users cannot check the checkboxes.
This all works in IE8 and above, but FF or Chrome, the disable="disabled" is ignored. Why and how can I get around this please?

In code-behind, I have logic to disable this row and everything in it with one line...
tdDocs.Disabled = True;
IE does indeed disable all controls inside a td (or any container) if you set its disabled attribute. I didn't even know that!
But the problem is that other browsers don't. disabled is not a valid attribute for a td. See this fiddle, where the checkbox in the table becomes unclickable in IE, but not in the other browsers.
Solution: disable all controls individually by running a quick loop over all the controls in the td.
So instead of
tdDocs.Disabled = true;
write
foreach (Control ctrl in tdDocs.Controls) {
if (ctrl is WebControl) ((WebControl)ctrl).Enabled = false;
}
I am trying to add a stylesheet to a master page in an asp.net web form. Basically trying to create an inline nav menu for the top of the page. I'm having issues with it. I've created the stylesheet (the same way I would create if this were an html site) and I've put it in the directory you see below. I don't see how the code below shows any relation to the stylesheet though.
Like in html, I would have
Home
About
Contact
And then my stylesheet would look like this...
ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
li {
display:inline;
padding:20px;
}
And the CSS would let it display inline (across the top). But I'm not sure where to go here.

Several things here.
First off, you're defining your CSS in 3 places!
In line, in the head and externally. I suggest you only choose one. I'm going to suggest externally.
I suggest you update your code in your ASP form from
<td style="background-color: #A3A3A3; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"
class="style6">
to this:
<td class="style6">
And then update your css too
.style6
{
height: 79px; background-color: #A3A3A3; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;
}
This removes the inline.
Now, to move it from the head of the webForm.
<%# Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>AR Toolbox</title>
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="css/master.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<table class="style1">
<tr>
<td class="style6">
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem Text="Home" Value="Home"></asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem Text="About" Value="About"></asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem Text="Compliance" Value="Compliance">
<asp:MenuItem Text="Item 1" Value="Item 1"></asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem Text="Item 2" Value="Item 2"></asp:MenuItem>
</asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem Text="Tools" Value="Tools"></asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem Text="Contact" Value="Contact"></asp:MenuItem>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style6">
<img alt="South University'" class="style7"
src="file:///C:/Users/jnewnam/Documents/Visual%20Studio%202010/WebSites/WebSite1/img/suo_n_seal_hor_pantone.png" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style2">
<table class="style3">
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #A3A3A3">
This is the footer.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now, in a new file called master.css (in your css folder) add
ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
li {
display:inline;
padding:20px;
}
.style1
{
width: 100%;
}
.style2
{
height: 459px;
}
.style3
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.style6
{
height: 79px; background-color: #A3A3A3; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;
}
.style7
{
width: 345px;
height: 73px;
}
Add your style here:
<%# Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="BSC.SiteMaster" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<link href="~/Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="~/Styles/NewStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="HeadContent" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
Then in the page:
<asp:Table CssClass=NewStyleExampleClass runat="server" >
The only thing you have to do is to add in the cshtml file, in the head, the following line:
#Styles.Render("~/Content/Main.css")
The entire head will look somethink like that:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>HTML Page</title>
#Styles.Render("~/Content/main.css")
</head>
Hope it helps!!

I had solved this problem as I added TargetControlID to hidden field's ID but when I replaced it with the ID of submit button "BT_submit" it worked well.

ok simple question about including large mostly static html and asp.net code I am using as of right now #include and I was wondering if iframes would be a better way of handling what I wish to do or is there a better way to do it. here is the current way i'm handling the includes

Redid the example I was trying to make this into a UC but I ran into a problem with the server script and it not allowing me to obfuscate it more.
There's no reason to use IFRAMEs in this scenario. Their disadvantages are:
They are fixed in size
They don't count for the SEO on your page
You can't access the DOM for items in them (to do scripting)
So I would "include" a file. With ASP.NET your best bet is User Controls or Master Pages.
Using an iframe will cause the client browser to make another HTTP request in order to retrieve its contents. Unless you have a really specific need (like sticking your code into someone else's website) you probably never want to use an iframe.
I don't really see the point of iframes, but I'm open to suggestion. If you need dynamic content, you can use AJAX and normal divs. If your server for some reason needs to include content from another domain or server, you can use curl.
