hi ,
first off, i want to commend your team for what you have done so far in the Web Application Project. In our situation it was gonna make the difference between going to .NET2.0 or not because we deal with multiple project solutions where the shared projects are web libraries, not just plain classes, so it was mandatory that we be able to have this seperation by projects.
1. I would like to know if you have any reports of random GPF's occuring in the IDE with the use of Web Applications Projects? We are in the process of writing an upgrade to an existing 1.0 asp.net app. We are using your Web Application Project and a number of people on the team are having what so far seems to be random GPFs in the IDE which causes them to have to restart the IDE. Sometimes it happens when going into debug, sometimes it happens just cut/pasting text from another app. I've even seen it happen when just typing in new code into codebehind files. These GPFs are occuring multiple times during the day for some of our programmers. I have been working on DAL classes which would just be a normal class library and have probably only had two crashes in the last month. I realize that it could be pure coicidence that the programmers using the web application project are having issues, which is why i thought I'd ask you to see if you had any reports of this kind. fyi, we all use localhost IIS instead of the built in webserver due to the fact we need virtual directories.
2. one other kind of weird thing. we have a main wap project, and then a common wap project so our directory structure looks like this:
briefcase
common
there is a webcontrol in the common project which is used in the briefcase project. Occasionally, a couple of developers working on that part will get an ambiguous type error on that control at runtime when the first default webpage displays. The only way i could ever seen this happening is maybe if asp.net 2.0 is trying to compile everything in the briefcase directory, including the common directory, into briefcase.dll.compiled? I would have thought that if asp.net finds a briefcase.dll in the bin directory it wouldnt do a compile on the fly, but maybe that is not the case. Do you think this might be what is happening and if so, is there any way to turn off the compile on the fly function of asp.net?
