I have 2 projects. One project is a core and contains the GUI which is always the same and acts like a kind of framework.
The second project is an application that must be set in the framework.
The framework consists of a masterpage and a content page (application.aspx). From my second project I want to load the application.aspx. Is this possible? And if so.. how?
We did very similar thing in our projects
We add the folder/files in our source safe, and share these folders/files to other projects from source safe
Server.Transfer("application.aspx");
will take you there. What do you mean by
load the application.aspx?

I'm working on a project and I'm fairly new to ASP (not to C#).
We have a solution for a whole web application consisting of several projects and I want to add a couple of ASP WebForms to one of the projects. However, when I right click on the folder of the project and select Add element, it only shows me VB options.
But if I try to add other project to the solution, then all the other options are displayed.
The project in which I'm trying to add new Web Forms is entirely written in C#, so I don't know well what's happening back there. I cannot stop thinking it might a dumb mistake I'm making.
I'm working under Visual Studio 2017 and .NET Framework 4.7.2. It is there some kind of requirement I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for your time and sorry if it's something simpler, but I really don't know what's going on here.
As noted, this looks like that one application was created as a vb.net application.
You can freely consume say c# code (assemblies) in a vb.net project. And of course you can do the reverse.
However, for a given project created? You can't at the IDE level mix vb.net and c# code modules and general writing of code between c# and vb.net.
However, as in your example, you can certainly "include" multiple mixes of vb.net and c# projects into one same project. However, each part and section will still be limited to the chosen language used to build that application. So mixing is allowed at the project level - but not below that level.
So, it looks to be that project was created and developed with vb.net. You can't really change that unless you create a new project as c#, and then pull in all the forms, code etc. and re-factor the vb.net to c#.
So your practical project language choice is really limited to the project level. Multiple projects of different languages can be included overall, but each part will remain in its given language choice. The fact that you can do this in .net is amazing enough, but that language choice is really set in stone at the project level.
While you're figuring it out, if you need to press on and get some work done just copypaste another file that is already in the solution, and is of the type you require, then change its contents. This can usually be a time saver anyway, as the "new product" form isn't so hugely different from the "new user" form, just a different bunch of labels and textboxes..
There is nothing magical about the "add new item" dialog, it just adds files with pre filled templated content. For a cs class (for example) that's a file that basically has a detected namespace and the name you specified in the add dialog. You could even add a VB file of the type you want and then change the contents and name of the file to be right for C# - it would essentially be adding a couple of curly brackets and changing the case of Namespace and Class (and maybe changing Imports to using)
You cannot mix languages in the same assembly in .Net. Create another assembly you can put your C# code in there and use it in the VB.Net project.
Or use VB.Net it's not that bad.
I am making a class library in asp.net , is there any possibility to add web forms in class library ( content view files with their code-behind ) so i can run , only with a simple method in the CALLER PROJECT ,a whole web app (thanks to this class library) .
I searched and i found i can't but If not , is there any near solution which can solve this problem ?
Thanks !
is there any possibility to make a class library as a web app "template" that we can use every time we call it in another project
A "class library" project, in Visual Studio terms, is strictly namespaces and classes - no web forms or controls allowed. And you're right, these projects are easily shared among sites by leaving them in a common source control repository or similar.
In an "ASP.NET Web Forms Web Application" project, you can reduce duplication by moving as much "code behind" code as possible to class libraries, which can then be shared among your team(s). You could even theoretically implement a lot of page/control functionality as "base classes" stored in class libraries and then inherited in aspx.cs and master.cs "code behind" files.
You could also move as much "code front" as possible into Custom User Controls which could be shared across projects by linking source control to a common repository.
But I don't think there's a good way to "share" .master and .aspx files. You could set up a basic website, keep it in a common place, and let people copy/paste it for new projects. But I don't know of a useful way to share that UI code among multiple web app projects.
I'm very newer developing .NET web applications. Before read, I'm so sorry if I'm not able to explain correctly or if I'm confusing about something of .NET. Hope all of you can give me some light in .NET environment.
Context: We have two different solutions because the original idea was to develop two different applications with no common pages or content between them. Now, we need to have one of the aspx page that is in the solution1 inside the solution2 (and probably more in the future) because it's common between them.The idea is not to have two different maintenance of the same page. This two solutions have only one project inside them and each project has his own master page.
Solution1:
-Project1
Solution2:
-Project2
Question 1: Is it possible to import or use complete aspx page across the solutions? I mean, I know that is possible to import aspx files from the project1 into the project2, but doing this way, every change into the original aspx file of project1 means that is needed a new import into project2 (or this is what I think) to have the page up to date. What is the best way to share content between different solutions?
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to add the aspx page which exists in one solution (and version controlled hopefully!), to your other solution by adding it as a linked file.
MSDN explains how Visual Studio allows you to add an item as a link rather than directly adding the file to your project.
By linking to a file, you can capture ongoing changes to a source file without having to manually update a copy whenever changes are made. However, if the underlying file is deleted, the link will be broken.
To create a link to an existing item
In Solution Explorer, select the target project.
On the Project menu, select Add Existing Item.
In the Add Existing Item dialog box, locate and select the project
item you want to link.
From the Open button drop-down list, select Add As Link.

We have created our website on ASP.NET with C#. But another developer has created her code on VB.NET. Now we have to integrate her pages and code with our existing application.
You can't use VB and C# together within the same Web Application project. What I would recommend is that you convert the VB to C# (or vice-versa) using one of the many automated conversion tools that are available (Telerik has one, for example). Barring that, your next best bet would be to keep them as separate projects and deploy them together to the same site, if that's an option (for example, if each project will be able to have its own set of URLs). If that isn't an option, then you will simply have to bite the bullet and convert one language to the other.
For web application project:
asp.net web application with c# & vb.net both in codebehind
As mentioned by OP in comments, s/he is asking for Web Application projects; so the below is only for website projects:
You don't need to do anything. Just add those .aspx and .aspx.vb pages in your website project. If you are using .NET Framework 2.0 or above, they will compile and the complete website will work.
By the way, if you see, every .aspx page contains the Language attribute in #Page directive which specify the language of the code beside file.
I am somewhat confused. Searched a bunch of ASP.NET related sites but could not find the answer. I must be missing some search word..
I want to find a gallery of MVC4 templates (free/cheap) and apply them to my project. Where do I do that from? I found one codeplex project (http://mvccontribgallery.codeplex.com/), but when I tried applying by copying, there were a bunch of errors (it uses something called SiteMaster, while my project seems to be using something called _layout).
I see a ton of references to people using them, applying them, but I must be missing something very fundamental since I can't even figure out how to find a list of downloadable templates.
What are the simple 1/2/3 steps for finding/getting/installing a template on my MVC4 project?
You should be looking for a suitable HTML template instead of an MVC specific template.
Once you have that, you will need to modify you master template (usually Views/Shared/_layout) to use the HTML and CSS contained within the template you have chosen.
For MVC3 or MVC4 you don't need to download any template. Just install MVC4 in your visual studio 2010 version on higher and then choose option create new project and that is that. See this below screen capture:
Microsoft will provide you the default MVC project architecture or in your term MVC template automatically when you choose any of above option marked in red box.
What do you mean by mvc4 templates? I'm assuming you mean "website template". With MVC you can use any html template, there's no specific template for MVC (that's why you're not finding any of it). You just find any website template and adapt it to mvc context (put css and images under "Content" folder and put html code in _layout and use it like masterpage), not hard to do at all. In fact, so easy to do after you get the idea that no one publish a specific adapted version :)
Follow these steps:
(note: if you have Asp.Net MVC 4, 3 won't install right (for me anyway), so uninstall and install in order).
