Hi,
I got the tab control working well in Visual Studio 2010 but when I deploy to the server the tabs are not visible. The text in the tabs are visible and they work but the run together and it looks terrible.
Does anyone know how to solve this.
Thanks
Hello JimsTech03,
The most probable reason for this behavior is the missing styles on the server machine.
You can read our deployment overview section to see if you have provided all needed components on the server - http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2010.3/CLR4.0/html/Web_Deploying_Your_Application.html
Let me know if you need further assistance with this question.
Hi Alex,
I had a little difficulty understanding how to upload the styles. I created an Infragistics folder on the server in my application and started uploading the styles folder into the Infragistics folder. It took about 15 minutes before it stopped. And it didn't solve the problem. But I think everything didn't get uploaded.
I suspect I only need a few files from the Styles folder on the server instead of the entire Styles folder. Is that correct? If so which ones? Did I do the right thing creating an Infragistics folder and then a Styles folder under that folder? I already have a Styles folder for css so I can't put them there.
Also, I'm having a little difficulty with Visual Studio on my desktop so I deployed from my laptop. But I noticed that on my laptop I don't have the following folders in my C drive.
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\Infragistics\ ... (starting with Inetpub)
C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage2010.3\ ... (starting with Infragistics)
But I do have the NetAdvantage 10.3 ASP.NET CLR4x controls in my toolbox when I open Visual Studio. Did I forget to install something on my laptop? I deployed the application from my laptop since I'm having difficulties with Visual Studio on my desktop.

Hello JimTech03,
If you are using more than one style for your controls or if you are using custom styles then you have to deploy them to the server also.
The styles are located in “ig_res” folder in your project and contains important CSS classes (and the images) used to display the controls elements and style them.
In the following link you can view the CSS files needed for all Infragistics ASP controls - http://community.infragistics.com/blogs/engineering/archive/2010/08/10/which-are-my-css-files.aspx
And bellow are needed files for these control that has to be present on the server -
http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2010.3/CLR4.0/html/Web_Deployment_Overview.html
If these folders/files are not present on the server then the controls may not operate as expected.
One approach would be to create a virtual directory on your server and copy the “ig_res” folder there. Then you will be able to refer this folder through the “web.config” of each application that needs to use this folder. It is recommended not to mistake the “ig_common” with” ig_res” folder.
The most probable reason to not see “Interpub…” folder in your Laptop is because you do not have IIS server installed or it is not configured properly. Same may be said for the Infragistics controls – they are not installed on your Laptop or they are installed on different drive/directory (Program Files x86 for example in Windows 7).
Let me know if you still have difficulties deploying your application.
Hello Jim,
Let me know if you need additional assistance with this question.
I copied ig_res to my server and that solved the tabs problem.
I also found the infragistics controls. They were in Program Files (x86). I have a new laptop with Windows 7 Professional.
I still can't find inetpub. But IIS is supposed to come with Windows 7. So far this doesn't seem to be causing me a problem although I have to use my laptop with Visual Studio.Net 2010. I'm having some Visual Studio problems on my desktop.
