URENT help needed with windows app.
Greetings experts.
I really, really need an urgent help. This is probably very simple.
I am trying to make some changes to an existing .net app written as Windows app.
When I loaded the app into visual studio 2008, the version that came with sql server 2008, I am getting several errors when we click on Build Page or Build Website that several textbox controls like firstname.text are not declared.
The app works. All we wanted to do is make some changes.
Why are we getting errors that several controls must be declared?
My guess is because the app is windows app.
What do I need to do to supress those error messages and still make the app compile and work?
many thanks in advance for the prompt response.

You should rephrase the title to this question. A "windows app" is no a web application.

I am getting errors such as:
Name 'txtfirstname' is not declared.
I don't think I changed the type of app.
All I did was copy the entire folder and loaded it on my c drive, opened it using the BI version of visual studio - the version installed when sql server was installed.
I am trying to use this version because I don't have the actual visual studio 2008.
This is a code that has been working.
And the only change I made was comment out one 3 lines:
if something doesn't have then
do something else
end if
That's it

I *think* I know why I am having problem recompiling it.
I am using BIDS (Business Intelligence Development) the version that is installed when you install sql server and I don't think that would work.
That's is most likely my issue.

When you say it "has been working" do you mean that it compiled in your current environment before your change, or do you mean it was executing under a different compilation?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I think you already know the reason of problem. BIDS is supposed to be used for SQL Server projects and it does not have other project templates. Download VS Express and try opening with that.

Please close this as I have resolved it myself.
Thanks
Thanks
And exactly what type of app is it? Did you change the type of application?
