I have just completed my first Atlas Walkthrough using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition . I choseWalkthrough: Creating a Basic ASP.NET 'Atlas' Web Application.There were a few places where I floundered.
I accidently copied both the [Visual Basic] and [C#] code fragments. Perhaps there could be a sentence dividing them.
I didn't find the following instruction very clear:
"Add a new ASP.NET page to your project and name it AtlasScript.aspx.
Note Be sure that you clear thePlace code in separate file check box. For this walkthrough, you must create a single-file ASP.NET Web page."
Compare it with the earlier precise instructions:
"In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of the site, and then clickAdd New Item.
In theAdd New Item dialog box, underVisual Studio installed templates, selectWeb Service.
Name the file HelloWorldService.asmx and clear thePlace code in separate file check box.
Select the language you want to use.
ClickAdd."
At the end, I was unsure how to run theAtlasScript.aspx page. Through trial-and-error I right-clicked the AtlasScript.asx in Solution Explorer and chose "View in Browser".
Then the script wouldn't work. There were two problems.
The first I solved by changing the functionDateTime.Now toDate.Now. This needs to be changed in the walkthrough instructions.
The other problem was that you cannot pressEnter on the keyboard, you have to click theSearch button. It is almost subconsciously-automatic to press Enter, so it would be better if it was enabled.
I have not completed my first Atlas Walkthrough using Visual Studio 2005. My experiences are similar to yours with the difference that I get stopped at the error message: Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Element 'title'occurs too few times. Error occurs in AtlasScript.aspx line 7 containing <head id="Head1" runat="server">. Any idea?
