how do i "View in browser" a mvc 2 app? - asp.net-mvc-2

This is probably a pretty simple question, but I don't see how to view in browser like I would for a traditional asp.net application.

If you're using Visual Studio, Ctrl + F5 to run without debugging and Cassini will take care of the rest (or do you mean from inside visual studio like you can with webforms)?

Sadly, it seems that Microsoft has acknowledged this as a bug.
There are a couple workarounds you can try -- though none of them are exactly what you are looking for. None of them let you start your web page from any arbitrary page simply by right-clicking.
One inexact workaround that is good enough for me is:
If you open up your project properties and go to the Web tab you will see the "Start Action" setting. Change this to "Don't open a page. Wait for a request..."
Now when you start debugging, nothing will happen! (oh no, it's worse!)
Now you can right-click on the Cassini system-tray icon and choose to open the browser from there. You only have to do this on your first session of the day. Once you do this, you can navigate to where you want in your site, and keep that browser window open all day. Letting you start and stop debugging from that point whenever you want.
Again, it isn't exactly the same, but it isn't terrible either.

Just run the Visual Studio Project and it should open the application's Index view of home controller by default!
If you are talking about IIS file viewing, in IIS go to your application -> switch to content view -> go to default.aspx -> right click -> choose browse

Chrome devtools tab reopens the wrong source files after a refresh

When I use chrome to debug my angular project, I open files in the chrome sources by clicking Ctrl+P/O and entering part of the name. Problem is: when I reload, seems chrome keeps all the wrong files open... so if I debugged into another file (didn't close it! just lost focus) and then reload (like, after sources changed and compiled) chrome will close that file, and might even not remember it in the open recents dropdown... It's like someone sorted in reverse for some reason...
Is there a way to fix the wrong sorting order through settings or configuration somehow?
Am I the only one finding this not very smart/useful? Considering debugging in browser is a pain in the arse as it is, and unfortunately is the only/go-to option for debugging browser apps...

Chrome developer tools blackbox option isn't there?

I can't find the option to blackbox code anywhere on the chrome developer tools. It also doesn't give me the option when I right-click a file. I am using the latest version.
This link that was posted 3 days ago states the e is simply a "blackbox" tab in settings, but it isn't there for me. https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/javascript/step-code
There is also no "Manage framework blackboxing" option in general settings as stated in various guides.
Can anyone help? I can't see any posts online saying it has been removed.
Thanks!
Screenshot of my settings menu
"Blackbox script" was removed from Chrome at some point after Feb 2016. This is a bug in Chrome. Please star it.
As a workaround, you can double-click the offending script, then right click on its source code in the code pane, and choose "Blackbox script" from there.
As of this post, Chrome has once again refactored this function. It has been renamed to Framework Ignore List.
Open chrome settings (or press F1)
You will see Blackboxing in the left pane.
It is currently called "Add script to ignore list":

How use debug in Eclipse correctly?

I know this could sound as a 'very easy' question, but I really don't understand or found anywhere, how to use the debugger in a Java EE (JSF) application correctly.
I mean:
1. open eclipse
2. insert a break point at code
3. click into the 'bug' button
4. glassfish starts
5. interact into the web site until the break point is activated, right?
Wrong.
Nothing happens.. And I tried many different ways and it seems not to be working at all.
So I wonder if you guys could me explain how to do it (and I swear I will paint the instructions into the wall =] )
Right click on your project, Debug As -> Debug on Server (Alt+Shift+D, R)
or press the pull down menu next to 'bug' button, and follow the same menu order.

Is there a way to have Visual Web Developer ignore build errors?

I'm using MS's VWD to edit some .aspx files in our website (I'm opening it as a website, not a project/solution).
I have some temporary files just for testing and some generate Build errors in VWD 2010.
But VWD won't let me "run" other pages in the website with those Build Errors present.
Is there a way to get it to IGNORE them?
Im using Visual web developer express,
but assume the the settings are the same.
click on TOOLS on the MENUBAR
click on OPTIONS when the TOOLS menu drops down
click on SHOW ALL SETTINGS when the OPTIONS window appears
click on PROJECTS AND SOLUTIONS in the LEFT hand panel
click on BUILD AND RUN in the projects and solutions drop down
in the rigt hand panel, look for the text "On Run, when build or deployment errors occur:"
change it to "PROMPT TO LAUNCH"
click OKAY button to save changes
Voila.

eclipse stop popup "Web launch already running"

I am developing in PHP with Xdebug and for some reason every now and then the debug session stops working, so i click again the debug button but it gives me this error all the time "Web launch already running", so i have to go to Debug Perspective and click "Terminate and Relaunch".
Is there a way to make eclipse automatically terminate and relaunch or launch two sessions or don't show this popup, for 2 years this popup has been bugging me xD
As noted in response to questions like this one and this one, the best current solution appears to be binding "Terminate and Relaunch" to a keyboard shortcut.
Not automatic, but at least a lot less clicking around.
I have taken care of pesky popups in Eclipse with AutoHotkey script which have worked very well. I could create an AutoHotkey script which sends specific keystrokes automatically every time there is a specific pop-up.
So the flow I had in mind was as follows :
You click on the debug button -> The Error popup appears and as soon as that happens the AutoHotKey script kicks in and automatically does what you have to do manually.
If you think that might be worth looking into then we can talk more in a Chat session somewhere. I would need some information about the Pop up using the AU3_Spy.exe bundled with the AutoHotkey Installer.
Searching on Google, I found that many people have the same problem.
Bellow are some links that help you, I think:

A good article: http://www.latenightpc.com/blog/archives/2008/05/24/a-complete-lamp-development-environment-xampp-eclipse-pdt-and-xdebug
See this, too: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/57493/
Take a look here, too: Getting error in XDEBUG
So, read and try, read and try.
