Ch. 11

I'm trying to do the Basic Selectors exercise. I modified the Frontend.master page to include the new placeholder:

....
<div id="Footer">Footer goes here</div>
</div>

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cpClientScript" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</form>
</body>

But when I create a new web form, the placeholder doesn't show up:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/FrontEnd.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="BasicSelectors.aspx.cs" Inherits="Demos_BasicSelectors" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="cpMainContent" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>

Do I need to recreate the template?

Thanks,
Harry

Hi Harry,

You can switch to Design View and then insert the code in Markup by using the Smart Tasks panel of the content placeholder. You should indeed recreate the template (or edit the ZIP directly) if you want every page to have this Content element by default.

Will jQuery be used throughout the rest of the exercises in the book? If not, I may not recreate the template.

Also - I've just started Ch. 12, and when I try to show the Genre table data, I get an error: "The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)". And if I double-click on the Genre table name, I get "This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 are supported".

Are both of these occurring because I have SQL Server 2012 installed on the box? If so, can I resolve it without un-installing SQL Server 2012?

Thanks,
Harry

HI there,

Which version of VS are you using? You can try installing another version of SQL Server side by side your current one without issues. Also, these links may contain more information to help you solve the problem: https://www.google.com/#q=%22This+se...e+supported%22

jQuery is used a few more times, but not much in the remaining chapters.

Cheers,

I'm using Visual Web Designer 2010 to work through the book. I'll be upgrading to VS 2012 once I'm done, but I wanted to make sure the version matched the book.

Thanks,
Harry

I seem to have gotten around the problem by creating a new database connection, and specifying SQL Server Database File rather than SQL Server. Dragging and dropping must have triggered the default SQL Server 2012 connection.
