I created a C# web project with MSVS 9 and thats all i know about my configurations.
In my browser i can access any aspx files i have in my project. However when i use http://localhost:3288/img/test.png i see nothing. The working directory is ./root, the png file is in ./root/img/test.png How do i have ASP.NET display my images and everything else in the folder? (and subfolders).
Is the .png included in the solution?
When you hit the "play" button your essentially starting up a new website ( localhost:2383 ) so if its not in the solution it won't be copied over to the new, temporary, website that the debugger attaches too.
If this is the problem a quick fix is to hit the "Show all Files" button on the top of your solution explorer, this will show all the files in that folder on your hard drive. Then right click on the .png you want to include and hit "Include in Project".
Based on your comment your only solution is to actually create an IIS site for your solution with the root dir the same as your web project. Then in the project properties you'll have to tell the debugger to attach to your local IIS instead of visual studios. Not sure the exact click path, right click on your project and go to properties, look for debugging options.
Give a look to the ASP Image control , you can specify paths starting in your app root (~):
<asp:Image id="Image1" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/Images/image1.png"/>
Or you can use relative paths to the page that are displayed.

I have a index.aspx in the project root but the solution explorer does not show the file.
I first started out with a html file, then I wanted to convert it to an ASP file. So I pressed save index.html as... and choose index.aspx as the new file name. But then I started getting error windows when editing the index.aspx. I noticed index.html was still in the root of the solution but did not show in VS-2013 solution explorer. So I figured I get rid of the index.aspx inside the solution explorer but both files disappeared from my disk. I somehow managed to retrieve the index.aspx but I cannot get it in the solution explorer. When I open the file manually the error windows are gone but I'm afraid I might have broken a link I'm unaware of in the program by deleting it in the Solution Explorer.
-Edit-
I could just create a new webforms file and copy the contents but the issue described above feels strange and unexpected. I like to have it clarified.
You've deleted it from your solution.
Right click your solution.
On the toolbar at the top of Solution Explorer find the "Show all files" icon and click it. You can now see all files on the file system, not just those included in your solution.
Find the file, right click and include it in your project. It'll have an icon that looks like this:
I am currently using IIS to host a simple website, and would like to know how to enable the 'Global.aspx' file? I need to know where I would define it, as all the tutorials talk about using Visual Studio, which I am not using.
File Global.asax should be placed on the root directory of your site. There is nothing else to do besides adding required code, you put it there and just work.
Just right-click on the project name displayed in the Solution Explorer, and choose Add New..., then choose Global.asax from the list displayed in the new popup window. It goes to the root of your application.
Here is further information: Where is the Global.asax.cs file?
When I make a change to the a aspx.cs page in my website and then build I notice that none of the dlls in the Bin folder are updated, the only dlls I can see in there are the references the web app uses. I want to bring across this one change rather than redeploy the whole site so where are the changes being saved?
I've tried various things like build solution, rebuild solution, build website, rebuild web site.
Is it possible my dll is being sent elsewhere? How would I go about finding out where?
In Solution Explorer, on root project node, right-click and select Properties. Click on the "Build" tab and look under "Output" section. Here you will see the actual output path and can change it to your bin folder.
In Solution Explorer, on root project node, right-click and try to Clean solution and then again build whole solution.
I have a published website and I need to change only the ViewPage(.aspx) code that is giving me an error. If I change that viewpage will it be ok or will I have to publish the website again? If there is no need to publish the website, does it work for css, javascript/jquery files?
If you are only changing visual elements (or in line code that don't rely on a new Project.dll being created) then there is no need to publish the website as long as you are updating the files on the server. If you want VS to send the files to the server for you then you will need to re-publish it.
Publishing is an easy way to build your project, package it and send it to the server so you don't have to mess about with individual files. If you just want to change one file, be it .js , .css or alike then you can just change it.
Depends on what you're changing...
If you're changing elements that have a direct impact with the codebehind in the aspx.cs, then you'll get a runtime error. For instance, suppose you have an aspx textbox and you change the textbox to a radiobutton, or you change the textbox's id field then you'll have to compile the solution and publish the visual page along with the dll to the server.
If, on the other hand, you're just changing css, javascript, or html, and you're sure that does not have an impact on the codebehind, then you can just publish the visual page.
If you change the code of views, then you don't need to publish the site again. If you change code behind then you must publish the dll. When you change the code the dll of your project changes.
I have upload control on my asp.net page. I upload pictures in folder cars and they show in windows explorer when I open that folder (cars), but in Visual Sudio they act like they not include in project ( that is the reason why they don't show on image control which point to some of them. What did I make wrong ?
Uploading the images in the web application will never make any changes to your project. You will have to add them manually if you'll need them there. But generally these are pictures added by your user so the would just be in the file system - not really part of the solution, are they?
If you have choosen a webSITE then it will allow this, but not if a webPROJECT is selected.
I didn't find this on net, but I had two projects, and the one which was allowing me to show uploaded files was a website.
You have to click the refresh button at the top of the solution explorer in Visual Studio for it to show changes to the files.
You have to click Refresh button. Also ensure that "Show all files" icon is selected. And finally, you will have to right click on the files and select Include in Project. That way it would become part of your project.
If I may ask, what exactly are you trying to achieve in your application? The reason I ask is, if there is an upload happening in your application, you shouldn't need to include the files in your project to refer to it from code.
