The step-by-step below demonstrates the deployment process of IntersoftWebSite web site.

Download and extract IntersoftWebSite.zip
Right-click on IntersoftWebSite folder and select Properties.
On the General tab of Properties window, unset Read-only. Click Apply; and apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files.
Add ISNet.dll; ISNet.WebUI.dll; and ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.dll into Bin folder.
Open IIS and Add Application.
Configure the Alias; Application pool; and Physical path of IntersoftWebSite.
After adding application process completed, select the application from the navigation pane and browse Default.aspx.

Please note that the step-by-step mentioned above is done in the development PC where the CommonLibrary is available as an application in IIS.

Hope this helps.

There is no change.

What type of deployment is expected?

We have a custom script that creates a web site and another that creates a setup file. Neither of these show the changes.

I enclosed a simple web application as attachment. The attached web application is a simple web site that is not using SmartWebResources™.

Please add ISNet.dll; ISNet.WebUI.dll; and ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.dll assembly files into the Bin folder of the web application. After adding the assembly files, deploy the web site project and browse the default.aspx page.

You should be able to find the changes you made to the default.xml file.

I made the changes in the file listed above, but they are not reflected in my (debug) walkthrough.

How will this get moved with the project on compile? I don't see it in my project or in the resulting web site installation.

On a related note, I found this spelling error in the XML:

<Tooltip>...<GridView>Swith to Grid View</GridView>

should be

<Tooltip>...<GridView>Switch to Grid View</GridView>

I have tried to find you the solution by utilizing the client-side script to customize the text of filter context menu or by setting the TextSettings property of WebGrid but none of them helps. Customizing filter context menu as shown in How-to: Customize Filter context menu article inside of WebGrid’s documentation only helps on scenario where developer doesn’t want to show all the filter features. I was also unable to find the TextItem property which matches the text contained in the filter context menu.

However, you can try to set the text of filter context menu by renaming/modifying the Filter tag inside the default.xml file. The default.xml file is available inside the %ProgramFiles%\Intersoft Solutions\WebUI Studio for ASP.NET\CommonLibrary\WebGrid\V7_0_7200\Localization folder.

...
<Filter>
    <NotSet>Not Set</NotSet>
    <GTET>Greater Than or Equals To</GTET>
    <GT>Greater Than</GT>
    <ET>Equals To</ET>
    <NET>Does Not Equal To</NET>
    <LTET>Less Than or Equals To</LTET>
    <LT>Less Than</LT>
    <Like>Like</Like>
    <NotLike>Does Not Like</NotLike>
    <Contain>Contains</Contain>
    <NotContain>Does Not Contain</NotContain>
    <Between>Is Between</Between>
    <NotBetween>Is Not Between</NotBetween>
    <IsNull>Is Null</IsNull>
    <NotIsNull>Is Not Null</NotIsNull>
    <IsEmpty>Is Empty</IsEmpty>
    <NotIsEmpty>Is Not Empty</NotIsEmpty>
    <ApplyAll>Apply All Filters</ApplyAll>
    <Clear>Clear This Filter</Clear>
    <ClearAll>Clear All Filters</ClearAll>
</Filter>
...

Please note that this solution only applicable for WebGrid’s project or website that is not using SmartWebResources.

Not Set, Equals To, Does Not Equal To, Like, Does Not Like, Is Null, Is Not Null, Contains, Does Not Contain

I would like to put custom text in these fields. Is it possible?

If not, I would like to see the English version corrected:

Not Set, Equal To, Not Equal To, Like, Not Like, Is Null, Is Not Null, Contains, Does Not Contain.

Thank you.
