Configuration Manager

[Hadi Hariri]

Am I correct in assuming that the "Set As Start Page" option for
debugging ASP applications is set in the Configuration Manager? If this
is the case, how can I change this so that when I deploy a application
(SOURCE) to another development mchine, it keeps this option?

TIA

Hi Hadi,

"Set as Start Page" appears to be stored in a *.user file, which may be
hidden and is usually not deployed. Here's mine:

<VisualStudioProject>
<VisualBasic LastOpenVersion = "7.10.3077" >
<Build>
<Settings ReferencePath = "" >
<Config
Name = "Debug"
EnableASPDebugging = "false"
EnableASPXDebugging = "true"
EnableUnmanagedDebugging = "false"
EnableSQLServerDebugging = "false"
RemoteDebugEnabled = "false"
RemoteDebugMachine = ""
StartAction = "Project"
StartArguments = ""
StartPage = "dlistfooter.aspx"
StartProgram = ""
StartURL = ""
StartWorkingDirectory = ""
StartWithIE = "false"
/>
<Config
Name = "Release"
EnableASPDebugging = "false"
EnableASPXDebugging = "true"
EnableUnmanagedDebugging = "false"
EnableSQLServerDebugging = "false"
RemoteDebugEnabled = "false"
RemoteDebugMachine = ""
StartAction = "Project"
StartArguments = ""
StartPage = "dlistfooter.aspx"
StartProgram = ""
StartURL = ""
StartWorkingDirectory = ""
StartWithIE = "false"
/>
</Settings>
</Build>
<OtherProjectSettings
CopyProjectDestinationFolder = ""
CopyProjectUncPath = ""
CopyProjectOption = "0"
ProjectView = "ShowAllFiles"
ProjectTrust = "1"
/>
</VisualBasic>
</VisualStudioProject>


When you deploy an application, you wouldn't want or need this.

Thanks for that. It's amazing how I searched by entire hard drive for a
string I entered and couldn't find that file .

But seems a bit of a nightmare when distributing demos since you would
have to deploy it in the users's VSWebCache folder and opposed to the
demo folder.
