webmatrix

I am getting this error when I try to launch my website using WebMatrix. I have a .cs file which makes a call var db = Database.Open("dbase"); . I have a database in my project called "dbase". I have no web.config file and no imports for using WebMatrix packages since I am launching the site using WebMatrix, so I don't believe I should need them. Do I need to wrap the code in Razor tags, like @{var db = Database.Open("dbase"); } ? This causes an error for me too. What could be causing this? Does anyone have any solutions for this? You need a reference to the WebMatrix.Data.dll assembly (which

I have gone through hundreds of articles and blog posts that saying WebMatrix is just for beginners and such. my question is, why shouldn't I use WebMatrix to create a real-world working website, like a light-weight Q&A website? we can create anything that is needed for a website, with this tool. so why not to use it? is there something that real websites need, that cannot get done by WebMatrix? it looks like it is ok to create a fully functional and strong website with this tool. but people say you should not use it, why? and I apologize for my terrible English! thanks in advance.

I was hoping to be able to open .mdf file. I am using WebMatrix, I can view the queries there. I can read the schema too. But how can I read the file without using WebMatrix.

Brad Christie .sdf is, in fact, a Compact Database file (unless you've changed the extension which would be problematic). SQL Server would be .mdf . SQL Server ( .mdf ) You can attach the database to your local SQLEXPRESS instance and view it. An

I realize that this question may have been asked before, but I can't find anything that matches my situation exactly. I created a website using the WebMail helper in ASP.Net web pages ( not web forms) and WebMatrix. Users are required to login to the website, and there is a "Remember me" box that (in theory) will keep the user logged in until he/she chooses to log out. The website does keep users logged in if they close the browser and reopen it within 20-30 minutes. However, after 20-30 minutes of not accessing the website, the user is logged out. (As an aside, this problem seems to exist

I am trying to mock up a page using WebMatrix using WebPages under the hood. I have assigned an implicitly typed array of anonymous objects to one of the PageData keys, but I get the following error when I try to using LINQ methods on the collection: CS1977: Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type Here is some sample code: @{ PageData["Vals"] = new [] { new { ID=1, Quantity=5 }, new { ID=2, Quantity=3 } }; var sum = PageData["Vals"].Sum(x => x.Quantity); } If I first store the array in a
