MVC5 view name mobile version - visual-studio-2012

I'm using the .tablet and .phone extensions for my tablet and phone views.
With MVC4 I used to create them without any problem but with MVC5 I have the error:
The name is invalid because it has invalid characters
I'm trying to create a view with name: List.tablet
(I can't show you the image because I have not enough reputation).
I've checked that it happens with MVC5 and not MVC4, both with visual studio 2012.
Any clues?

Are you by any chance using the Add -> View directly? This doesn't work, but if you go to Add -> New Item and then choose View or Layout page they both work in any combination.

acumatica project customizations project ID missing on localhost instance

I have a local instance of Acumatica 2018 R2 that I am using for development and when I try to edit a Customization Project it is not pulling in the specific project and ID.
Local instance of the Custom Project editor
Where it says "Project" in the top left, it should say "Test5".
Here is how the editor should look:
Production Instance Custom Project Editor
I believe that I've configured my IIS setting correctly but I can't get it to perform correctly.
I've seen that happen before. It appears to be an Ajax glitch. When the customization project editor opens it displays Project as a placeholder first. Then an Ajax call fetch the proper project name to replace the template placeholder text.
There isn't much to do to resolve this issue. I suggest using a different web browser (Chrome seems to handle Ajax more reliably) and possibly issuing an IISReset command on the web server or if you don't have access to server a restart application from the apply updates page.

Orchard CMS - remove an alternative

I have created a shape alternative, 'List.cshtml' but don't need this.
Now that I deleted the file from the Views folder, Blog Post list throws an error trying to find view file in theme directory and list of Content items in dashboard doesn't display any items.
So how do I delete a published view alternative and have Orchard go back to using the version from the module?
Version 1.10.0
Sounds like you need to restart the site. I recommend going into IIS and recycle the app pool.
Is this a deployed version of the site? I think that is the only time it will error when you remove a view file, if you're running the source in Visual Studio it will go back up the cascade to the proper view file/location.

SharePoint 2013-New changes are not reflecting in existing pages (its using visual studio custom page layout)

Can anyone help in below scenario?
1-Before some time I created and deployed visual studio custom page-layout in production.
2-Users created some pages using that page layout and add content.
3-Now I have done some enhancement in that and deployed again
4-If I am creating new page its showing changes but existing pages not showing that changes??
Try deactivating and reactivating the feature that contains the layouts.

Error when trying to deploy webpart

I've been searching on Google for a resolution to this problem, but cannot find one that matches yet.
I'm trying to deploy a simple "Hello World" web part to SharePoint using Visual Studios 2010.
I'm getting an error when I hit F5: "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': Cannot connect to the SharePoint site: http://example.com/. Make sure that this is a valid URL and the SharePoint site is running on the local computer. If you moved this project to a new computer or if the URL of the SharePoint site has changed since you created the project, update the Site URL property of the project."
Ok, I have done a lot of searching and I'll tell you what I've tried so far. I have full admin rights on the farm, full rights to both databases. I made sure the webpart URL property matches the site property listed in Central Admin as well.
If anyone has any advice or insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
P.S. (Edit) Also, the farm I'm deploying to and visual studio are on the same machine? would that cause it?
Check the properties of your project in Visual Studio. Click on project node in solution explorer and press F4, then check there 'Site URL' property. It should contains one of the following
http://[your machine name][:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
http://localhost[:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
http://[your machine IP address][:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
Note that Visual Studio must be installed on that machine which is your Web Front End or Application server.
If you got some errors with solution retracting try first deactivate and delete it via Central Admin. Then try to make some deploy-retract checking cycle in Visual Studio. If you still would get errors please post here the log from Visual Studio Output window (Ctrl+W, O).
I was able to go ahead and deploy the web part using STSADM commands from tutorials that you guys referenced in this topic, thanks so much for that.
It seems the problem I'm having involves multi-server install, and I don't think there is a quick work around yet.
Thank you all for the responses!
Follow below mentioned steps to debug this issue :
1) Browse the URL in IE on your server where you have hosted the http://mysite.com site.
2) If you are able to browse then try deploying this web part on another site by giving new site URL in project properties in Visual studio.
3) To deploy a solution onto a site you must have visual studio on the same computer where you hosting the site.
4) Try deploying WSP through stsadm, Click here to see the details. To create WSP in Visual studio right click on project -> click on 'Package' -> once its complete right click on project -> click on 'Open in windows explorer' -> open 'bin' directory -> open 'Debug' directory -> you shall see a file named as your project name & extension would be .wsp
5) If anything above doesn't help put down your deploying steps.
Please do the following
Can you first verify the Site Collection you are trying to deploy is working or not
Open the properties of the SharePoint Project >Properties(F4)> Build Tab and see that the platform has been set to Active(Any CPU).
Delete the Solution from Central Administration and then try to deploy the solution once again.
If you still have the same problem then attach the log file from the SharePoint logs.
Thanks,

Have you mention the Site URL property in Visual Studio Sharepoint project?. you can open using (ctrl+shift+p) for Window of Properties then Check project Properties and make sure Site
URL is the Web application where you want solution to be deployed.

SharePoint 2010 VS development: Intellisense for ASPX files

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to develop a SharePoint Server 2010 solution. Part of this includes custom Page Layouts, but when editing them, intellisense is completely broken, since Visual Studio doesn't appear to know how to handle them. Here's what I've done:
Created a new blank solution
Right-clicked on the solution and created a new "Empty SharePoint Project"
Right-clicked on the project and created a new "Module"
Renamed sample.txt to MyPageLayout.aspx or created a new ASPX Web Form
At this point, intellisense for the new Page Layout is broken. It gets even worse with tools like ReSharper installed. Also, things like "Format Document" will break the Page Layout (by for example changing asp:Content to asp:content)
What I've tried to get intellisense working:
Added a Web.config from a standard Web Application Project to the root of the SharePoint Project - made no difference.
Added the ProjectGuid for a Web Application Project to the SharePoint project file - broke the project.
Is there any way to get intellisense, and the rest of the support Visual Studio can offer for Web Forms, available when developing SharePoint 2010 Page Layouts?
I have followed your post to some extent.
Using VS2010 (On an x64 machine)
Create a blank SharePoint solution. (this properly combines your #1 & #2)
Add a module (in SharePoint a module is like a folder or resource container)
added a new class to the module (intellisense present)
Added a new webpart to the module (intellisense present)
added a user control to the project designer works and (intellisense present)
I believe that you should consider creating true server or visual web parts. This will have a harder learning curve but will pay with dividends in the future. You will be able to package and deploy your solution again or to another server/farm. Aspx pages can be added and manipulated by the dreaded SharePoint designer. In 2010 the theory is that those designer mods can be packaged and deployed.
I work in this environment every day and the best advice I can give is to embrace the SP object model and do 'it' the sharepoint way. Don't try to force SP to be something its not. :)
This is probably not the solution you are looking for but it's the best thing I found for SharePoint development.
In your solution, create 2 projects :
1 SharePoint Project (empty or not)
1 ASP.NET web application project
Develop all your UI (aspx pages, ascx controls, etc.) in your ASP.NET project and create post-build steps that will copy the pages and controls to the appropriate folders in your SharePoint solution.
That way, you will benefit from all the features of web development in visual studio and it will be very easy to deploy as well. It is a bit of a time investment at first, but it is well worth it if you have any considerable amount of logic to implement in your aspx pages.
This blog post documents what you need to do.
you can add an intellsense to pagelayouts by closing the page and simply reopen it from
file->openfile->your file page layout path
Or you can directly "Right Click" on the file you want to open from the Solution explorer and then select "Open" : you'll get the Intellisense !
