Hi d ho people?

I?m new to the world of .NET and I?ve still got a lot of getting use to ahead of me?especially when it comes to learning a new Editor?

I have made a SOLUTION of the IBuySpy web page in my .NET Editor, but
when I edit any of the *.vb (say for instance ProductsDB.vb) in the components folder it doesn?t seem to update when I make changes to it?It keeps ref. to the original code.

Can any one perhaps tell me what I?m doing wrong???

Thanks in advance?

The ibuyspy store come in two languages as you will be aware. However then there are two other options. Either VS.NET or SDK version.
The application version for VS.NET and SDK have the same functionilty but differ in how they are deployed and run to some extent.

With VS.NET the presentation code and any business logic for the page are split into 2 files, i.e. page.aspx and page.aspx.cs
You will see this refered to as code behind.

The SDK version has the presentation and business logic all contained with in the same page, i.e. page.aspx

Ok you still with me?
Right the reason why you code changes don't show up is cos you have the VS.NET version. With the code behind version you need to compile the application with VS.NET, which will result in a DLL that contains all the business logic.

If however you have the SDK version, the compiling is done the first time you access the page in a web browser, thats why you have a short wait the first time you access this version of the site while the CLR compiles on the application on the fly.

Try getting the SDK version and making the changes you should then see the it works.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, but I was out all day?

Thanks for the help, but I still can?t get it to work?

I have downloaded the StoreVB_SDK_0305 version and this is what I could gather from it?

Okay, lets start from the beginning?

I have got a default.aspx page with two more pages called default.aspx.vb and default.aspx.resx.

Now within the default.aspx page I?ve included the menu.ascx page which in return
displays the menu each time I call the default.aspx page?

Within the menu.ascx page I then call the ProductsDB.vb page with all the business logic on it?(calling the GetProductCategories(), stored procedures, ext.).

When I try to edit the ProductsDB.vb page it still ref. the original code?as if I had never touched it.

Where is it all going wrong???

Should I compile a new *.dll file like the StoreVB.dll file using the mk.bat
Or
Will the .NET editor compile a new *.dll for me??
Or
Does the SDK compile on the fly??
Or
Has this problem even got anything to do with the *.dll file.

Any help or clue will do?

Thanks.

Ok to make the storeVB.dll you are correct that you need to use the mk.bat in the components folders.

Start a command prompt and then execute the batch file. If you get an error about not being able to find the compiler its cos the path to the compiler is not set within the path command. If this happens you'll need to type something like

c:\>path c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322

Or whatever the path to the compiler is.

Hope this helps? let me know if you still having problems

Mark
