Asp Dot Net Notes for Web Masters RSS 2.0

# Tuesday, May 05, 2009
Pages --> Templates --> [Select a template] --> Edit this Template --> Edit Mode = Overlay

You are trying to add controls to your page but you are unable to drop controls into your content place holder.

The Content Place Holder must be on one line not split on to two lines in your master page.

Open the master page up in a text editor and make sure that the content place holders are on one line like this:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="LeftContentPlaceHolder" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>       

not split onto two or more lines like this:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="LeftContentPlaceHolder" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

SiteFinity is a Great Cms Application created by Telerik.

Lots of built in modules make it easier to add features to your website. This is the reason that I chose to use this CMS. Also you get to use the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX for free.

They have a Trial Version, Paid Version and a Free version.

The free version has almost the same functionality as the paid version. It only lacks Workflow Tools and Multiple Website Editors. Personally I think these functions are not really needed unless the website is being used by a large company with many website editor personal, in which case the company should be able to afford the licence fee.

Every now and again I or somebody else using my PC will run Windows Live Messenger.

From then on every time I start my computer Messenger starts up too. I do not want it to start up with my PC and I do not want to log in to Windows Live Messenger every time I use my PC. I do not want to uninstall Messenger either.

Question: How do I stop Windows Live Messenger from running at start up on Windows Vista?

Solution: I found that you can get to the Vista System Configuration Panel very easily and disable the start up of any program you want to.

  1. Click the Vista start button in the bottom left corner of the screen.
  2. In the search box just above the button type (without the quotes) “msconfig”.
  3. You should see a search result showing “msconfig.exe”. Now click that link.
  4. A box called System configuration will appear and you can use this box to change your start up programs.
  5. Click the Startup tab at the top of the box and you can then select which applications you want to disable from starting up at System start up.
  6. To disable stop Windows Live Messenger look for it in the list and uncheck the check box next to its name. Then click Apply then OK and you are done.
  7. Warning: Do not disable applications if you do not know what they are. You can always look them up on the internet to find out exactly what they are and what they do.
In the same way as described above for Start up Applications you can disable Start up Services in the System Configuration Window by clicking the Services Tab rather than the Startup tab.

The first two tab of the Vista System Configuration allow you to change some other more technical start up options regarding boot configuration. I would leave this bit alone unless you know what you are doing.

The last tab is the tools tab and that lists some useful system tools.

Selecting a content management system for your website is a much bigger and harder task than you may think. The number of content management systems out there is greater than the number of hot dinners a dedicated programmer sees in a year. I will list some of the better systems that I have seen here. They all have basc functions/features needed to build a website but some are easier to use.

ASP.NET Code Based CMS

SiteFinity

Lots of built in modules make it easier to add features to your website. This is the reason that I chose to use this CMS.

Umbraco

Very cool and exciting CMS system but not many built in modules so there is a lot of extra work to do when adding features to the website. I would have used this CMS but for the lack of build in modules to accelerate web development.

AxCMS.net

Good application but lots of work needed to set up a site.

Graffiti CMS

Great but not free.

Kentico CMS 4.0 RC
