Hi all,

I'm trying to use the 'hidden folder' technique detailed in Stefan's
blog for getting around VS.Net 2005 building the CMS virtual directory
in my template application.  Has anyone here got it to work?  I hid the
folder but it still appears in my application in VS and still gets
built.

Yes, it works fine.

The problem is that it is a real pain in the b!!!. If you are debugging and
need to go to edit mode frequently it is a real time waster.

Anyone found a better work round?
Any sign of the compiler fix?

Hi Mike,

What's the problem with edit mode?

I'm beginning to think there's no point in using Framework 2.0 for MCMS
projects.  I already had a way of building sites that gave me an almost
equivalent of master pages and themes anyway and don't see anything VS
2005 offers that makes it attractive..quite the opposite!

The problem is that to debug in edit mode you have to -

1. Go to Windows explorer and set the directory to hidden.
2. Go to VS, Compile and run the project.
3. Go to Windows explorer and unhide the CMS directory.
4. Refresh the browser.
5 Then you can select edit mode.

And when you have found and fixed the next bug, you have to do it all over
again.

Another annoying thing with this problem is that sometimes it goes away. We
have several machines that did not exhibit the problem, but we have just
upgraded to the Telerik premium edition controls and this caused the problem
.

I tend to agree with you about staying with 1.1, but you do get a lot of
other things with VS 2.0 like navigation controls and the wizard control.

I think it's about time that Microsoft fixed this problem.

Hello Mike,

The fix is to make just the 'cms' folder and not it's children hidden.
You don't need to then do this for each compile.

Correct.
Only hide the directories! Not the content!

Cheers,
Stefan

This does not fix our problems.
The only way to compile is to hide the directory and it's children

Any other ideas?

Hi Mike,

you need to set only the directories to hidden.
Not the content.
This will allow compile.

If not, then you are the first to report this. Please open a support case to
get your specific problem analyzed.

Cheers,
Stefan

And I hid only the directory in windows explorer but it still appears
in the project and gets built.

Thanks Stefan,

I am on another project for the next month so I will hand this over to one
of the other team members. They will be in touch.
