I have some code that initializes a static singleton class, which is needed by all requests. Therefore I thought I could add it to global.asax Application_Start. Can I be 100% sure that all requests will block while Application_Start is loading to guarantee that all the requests will have access to it?
View 1 RepliesI need to monitor my application from incoming http post and get requestf originating from outside and sometimes inside the machine.
Is this possible?
Been using fiddler but this only does outgoing not incoming (from outside the machine) or have I configured it incorrectly?
This is for my web app that is meant to be receiving a POST from an external server.
Is there a way to view incoming requests to a local ASP.NET development server? I'm making wcf service calls from a android app to a local development server. Something goes wrong somewhere along the way, and I need to view what data the server recieves.
Edit: The android app is local too... in an emulator.
How do I capture the outgoing and incoming soap requests using VS 2008? I read about the SOAP toolkit but it seems the framework now does it? Is it in the Windows SDK?I am debugging a web service on FedEx and they want to see the the SOAP file.
View 3 RepliesWhat's the simplest and most effective way to selectively redirect HTTP requests to your ASP.NET page to its HTTPS equivalent? For example, if my page site URL is [URL], I want to redirect some (or all) page requests to [URL] What's the easiest way to do that?
View 2 RepliesI have menu item on my master page that has block around the text when the page is first run. I wrote in the css on the link and visited property to change the color to match the image color that it is on. When a menu item is clicked the color changes to the right color. How do I get it to the right color on when the page first opens or is there a way to get rid of the block or make it transperant?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 separate code-block asp.Net expressions in an aspx markup, with an html content between (span element in the example below). In the first code-block, there is "i" as an increment variable for the for loop.Then the code-block is cut with an html content.And another code-block expression is opened but as I see I can reach the "i" variable which was declared in the previous code-block.
So, how asp.net handles -compiles- the pieces of code-block experrions declared in the mark up? Does it check the semi-colons and generates some anonymous methods which will end up with many calls to Response.Write in the last place?

i've created handlers in IIS7 to map requests for static content.
I've added the following line to my routes:
routes.IgnoreRoute("rest/schema/{file}.xsd");
I've checked that the file is physicly present on the location, yet MVC keeps bitching about not beeing able to find a route. What is the IgnoreRoute for then if it keeps searching?
1) user A inputs some data into webpage "a.aspx". When he clicks save button, data is insert into table A and table B.
2) another user B is accessing webpage "b.aspx" or could be away from his desk. To inform user B that he has new incoming data (upon insert into table B from step 1), I was thinking to play a sound to get user B attention that he has new incoming data.
Can I achieve this (play sound) in coding (without interfering with what user B is currently doing)?
I have a task which is to create an xml file with basically these elements:-incoming request = sites/suppliers(.*?) should redirect to http://home.company/sites/sup$1I'll read this xml file in Global.asax Application_BeginRequest event.Get the incoming request and check the xml file and do any redirection if necessary.
View 1 RepliesIf i have a page called www.testsite.com and I link to that page using a querystring in the url, is it possible to attach that same querystring to all the outgoing links/traffic somehow?
For instance, say I link to that page like this www.testsite.com?parameter1=somevalue And then, on that page I click a link to for instance google, and I would like the parameter to be passed so the url would be www.google.com?parameter1=somevalue.
I know how to do this manually, but is there someway it can be appended to the url automatically? Like catch the outgoing request before happening and add the parameter?
The Application_Start method in Global.asax.cs was being called in my WCF web services application when it was running under ASP.NET 2.
It has been recompiled with the .NET 4 framework and it now runs under ASP.NET 4. However, that method is not ever being called.
I have an application made on asp.net mvc 2 and it is on IIS 7.5 on my pc I tried profiling it and I noticed that Application_Start gets called more than once, anybody knows why is this happening ?

For testing purposes I have code to send an email at different spots. The only email that I get is the first one. None of the other email checks are being sent. I have checked with paypal and they said to make sure that port 443 is open for incoming and outgoing traffic. If that is the problem how would I go about making sure the port is open? Or could it be something else?
I have a (relatively) simple web service host. This ws exposes two methods: verify and processRequest.
Is there a way for the host to get information about where the request is coming from?
I am looking for things like IP Address, time/date sent, payload size (and maybe entire message size), etc...
I can not use custom SOAP headers, so I need to rely on whatever is in the default SOAP header.
I am writing my code in C#.
I've been using different routes.MapPageRoute registrations that were dependent on the domain (I have multiple pointing to the same web application). I was accomplishing this by determining the domain (or sub-domain) using Context.Request.Url.Host within RegisterRoutest. Of course, this all is kicked off at Application_Start, which worked in IIS6, but now I've moved to IIS7, and Request doesn't seem to be available at Application_Start anymore. Can anyone suggest a way to get the domain at Application_Start, or is this simply not possible with IIS7?
Here's an example of the code I've been using in my Global.asax:
[Code]....
Error Returned:
Request is not available in this context
... System.Web.HttpContext.get_Request ...
I'm implementing a simple HttpModule, where I want some code to run when the web application is started. But I'm surprised to find that the Application_Start event I would normally use from Global.asax is not available from a HttpModule. Is that correct, or am I missing something here?
How do I hook into the Application_Start event from an HttpModule?
I'm in the process of adding ASP.NET MVC code to a preexisting ASP.NET Webforms project. The various tutorials suggest adding routing to a method called from Application_Start() in Global.asax. My Global.asax already has an Application_OnStart(Object,EventArgs) method with some setup code.
If I try to have both Start and OnStart, the OnStart doesn't get called (and the setup fails, causing errors). It looks like I have to choose one or the other.My question is: which one should I be using? What is the difference between them? Are they called at different times?(Note: at the time of this writing, the top three Google hits are useless and/or misleading.
I have a web form (aspx page) where I load case data for my database and edit certain fields. I want to create a queue box where I can display new incoming cases (Case nums) that have not been edited yet, so that I do not mis any cases on a given day. I visualize my queue box to be something like an update panel which updates itself every few minutes and brings the new case nums in the queue box.
View 3 RepliesI have setup a webservice that returns an array of Transaction objects (Transaction being a custom class I created). Each Transaction object has a range of properties (strings, dates etc) and a couple of other embedded objects. I have tested this from another asp.net application and I can consume the webservice fine and access all the objects etc.This webservice is returning Transaction objects that will be loaded into a database on the client side. The objects all come back in an array from the webservice, which needs to be handled via SSIS 2008 and loaded into a database on the client side. The question is, how do you configure the SSIS package to read and handle the incoming array and the custom objects within?
View 1 RepliesI have a site that uses ActiveRecord. I'm getting an exception that says "An ActiveRecord class () was used but the framework seems not properly initialized. Did you forget about ActiveRecordStarter.Initialize() ?" This is a web application, and the Initialize() method is called by the Application_Start event handler.
I created a new page that also calls the initialize() method. If I visit that page once, then the rest of the site works. If I visit it a second time, I get an exception stating that the Initialize() method can only be called once.
I've tried modifying the web.config and resetting the application pool to force Application_Start to run.
This only happens in production; dev, my stage, and client stage are fine. Production is the only load-balanced environment--I'm not sure if that comes into play.
Edit: We have another site deployed in the same environment which successfully uses ActiveRecord with the same initialization code. One difference is that the site that is working has only the ActiveRecord code in Application_Start; the site that doesn't also sets up some URL routing in Application_Start.
I have 3 IIS7 virtual directories which point to the same physical directory. Each one has a unique host headers bound to it and each one runs in its own app pool. Ultimately, 3 instances of the same ASP.NET application.
In the Application_Start event handler of global.asax I would like to identify which instance of the application is running (to conditionally execute some code). Since the Request object is not available, I cannot interrogate the current URL so I would like to interrogate the binding information of the current virtual directory?
Since the host header binding is unique for each site, it would allow me to identify which application instance is starting up.
I've got an ASP.NET web app that is starting to show some very strange behavior. Here's some example code:
// in Bar.cs
public class Bar {
public static Baz baz = Something.Step2();
}
// in Global.asax
public void Application_Start(...) {
Something.Step1();
}
The short version of the story is this: On some machines, Something.Step2 is executed before Something.Step1 and is throwing an unhandleable exception. On other machines, Step1 correctly executes before Step2. Global.asax and all the objects it uses do not refer to Bar at all.
When are static fields supposed to execute in relation to other programming elements? Why would two machines (both Win7 64-bit, both with .NET 4.0, same IIS version, etc) execute things in different orders? The order is consistent on each machine too. On my machine, it always executes Step2 before Step1, but on my coworker's machine it always executes Step1 before Step2.Update I've found the root cause why my static field is being accessed. Class "Bar" from my example is actually a custom authentication module, and is referenced in web.config as the Authentication handler under System.webServer. If I remove that line from web.config, my system calls Step1 first and never calls Step2 at all. My question changes subtly to: "Why does web.config cause my static initializers to fire, and why does it cause them to fire before Application_Start executes?"
In our Application_Start event handler we're performing some actions that intermittently fail due to file locking issues. In this scenario we would like to return the application to an "un-started" state.By this I mean that the user will be shown an error page, and then the next time a user hits the site the Application_Start event will be fired again.
We're using ASP.NET 3.5, WebForms and MVC.
I'm looking at automating some reporting that I'm going to be generating. I want the reports to be generated and emailed at a particular time every day. These times will vary, and so will the types of reports.I was wondering if there were any better solution to creating a routine with a timer that executes at a set time every day? If I include this class and routine in the Application_Start of my Global.asax, will it always be running, or is there some awesome EventListener that I'm not aware of?
