what needs to be done to debug a asp.net app using IIS7 instead of the Development server with VS2010. I have found multiple resources online that says how to do it and they all have different steps. I cannot seem to get it to work.
View 2 RepliesHow can I test an application that I am publishing to a remote provider's IIS7 hosted site, with the VS2008 development server that is built in with VS2008 on an XP Machine?
My membership/roles work perfectly up on the remote host. On ths hosted IIS7 site when I try to access a secure directory it redirects to login, and I am able to login, however when I launch (debug - F5) from VS2008, it will provide that folder/resource, no questions asked. Same build, config, etc... nothing has changed.
I am running XP, and local IIS version installed is 5.1.
My guess is what is happening is that the new format required in the web.config is configured properly for IIS7 deployment, which is why it works remotely, but when running locally through VS2008/XP it is running with an older version on IIS and does not recoginize the new tags.
When I ran Vista (x64) Prem with IIS7 and VS2008 sp1, I could press F5 and start debugging a web application and the debugge would run as long as I needed. I got a new PC that has Win 7 (x64). Now, the debugger will run 30-60 seconds and then quits. The web application still runs but the debugger shows that it is not in debug mode and the breakpoints are no longer hit. I know you can attach to the w3wp process and debug that way, but has anyone found a way to keep the debugger running for as long as you need when you press F5??
View 1 RepliesI'm trying the above - Visual Web Developer 2008 express edition with SQL Server 2005 express using VB code behind on ASP.net 3.5 framework. I need to incorporate and amend some externally supplied classic asp pages, so switched to local IIS7 for compilation/run. I can run these pages, but am unable to amend them and have the changes reflected in what I see. Is this possible with this setup? Is there a configuration setup that I may need? Has anyone successfully done the above before?
View 2 RepliesI am thinking about setting up a new domain to host static content on my website and have it cookieless just like Stackoverflow with their static domain. So before going ahead and buying the domain and setting it up I wanted to test it on my developement machine first under localhost (I have to mention that i am planning on having IIS running on my new domain for the static files). I therefore created a new application under IIS and disabled session state and forms authentication. When my main application needs resources like css, images and js , I use the path to the "static" application where they are hosted.
The problem is that when I look at the request and the response for the requested files, they still have the session_id cookie defined as well as the asp.net authentication cookie. Is it at all possible to accomplish what i am trying to do on a development machine or do i have to just go ahead and purchase the new domain which hopefully with make things right? I tried to read about cookieless domain but can't figure out what i might be missing.
I'm building a site using the .NET 4 framework using routing and MasterPages.
Because I'm using both routing and MasterPages, I can't see any way how to get value from control on the previous page. To solve this I've used the code behind to store the control's value in a session variable. Is there a way to retrieve a value from a control using PreviousPage or something when using Routing and MasterPages?
This works fine in VWD debug mode and in IIS 5.1, but when I try to deploy it on my Windows Server 2008 (IIS7.5) machine, it get this error:
Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration><system.web><httpModules> section in the application configuration.
Here is a copy of my web.config file:

for example it just starts notepadn my development pc i'm using Win7 and when i deploy the app onto my local IIS7 it works and i can call notepadWhen i run debug mode with VS2010 it works too!
I want to debug EditPanel.debug.js file of HTML Editor, but it never shows in VS 08 and Im sure it executes to that line.What I did to enable debuggingUnchecked both 2 checkboxes for disabling the debugging
Set ScriptMode="Debug"
Change following line
[ClientScriptResource("AjaxControlToolkit.HTMLEditor.EditPanel", "AjaxControlToolkit.HTMLEditor.EditPanel.js")]
to
[ClientScriptResource("AjaxControlToolkit.HTMLEditor.EditPanel", "AjaxControlToolkit.HTMLEditor.EditPanel.debug.js")]
I'm getting "Cannot connect to ASP.NET development server" almost every time I stop the ASP.NET server before restarting the project in debug mode. It can take between 15 seconds and 2 minutes to get the error message, and Visual Studio is frozen.
Sometimes I get three in a row, and I have to wait 2 minutes each time, or go into Task Manager and kill to process. Then I have to start Visual Studio 2010 again, which is at least three times slower than Visual Studio 2008 to open.
It's *extremely* annoying. I know I don't have to close the server if the code has changed, but sometimes I simply want to restart my website in debug mode (there is a cache on most web service calls, so this clears the cache). A workaround is to add "foo" code to a class and restart the project.
I'm running Visual Studio 2010 Professional on Windows Server 2008. I'm running the Visual Studio Power Tools too, with the latest update.
I am working on the migration of the server. Our new server is Windows server 2008 with IIS7.0 I have a great difficulty in browsing the pages hosted in virtual directories. I have followed the proper steps of creating a virtual directories and converting them into applications. But when i try to browsing the pages of the virtual directory, i get the 404 error. Note: The .Net Framework 4.0 is installed on the server and the web applications which i am trying to configure in the virtual directories are developed in Visual Studio 3.0. Even the http://localhost also don't work.

View 2 RepliesI want to copy a database on a development server to my local server. I am not the server administrator but I have rights to the database. Soon after the wizard Executes the SQL Server Agent Job it fails and the error message says:
The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details.
Where do I find this log? Also what could be the problem?
Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine. Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
View 5 RepliesI am wondering the best way to change my connection string based upon which server I am accessing.
Essentially, all of the development is done on our local machines - once we think it is working, we upload it to our development server. In these 2 instances, I want my application to go off of our "dev" connection string for the SQL database in the web.config.
However, once it is published to our production server (for an internal application), I would like the connection string to point to our live db.
I am using the N-Tier model by Imar Spaanjaars - and have it setup like he suggests - In my DAL I have a class called AppConfiguration -
In this class I have a public readonly property ConnectionString() which returns the connection string in the web.config.
This is in an individual class library. What I would like to do is something similar to:
If server is localhost OR devstring return devString else return productionstring

Debug-Start Debugging/Debug-StartWithoutDebugging OR Project ASP.Net Configuration launches Dreamweaver. It started lastnight, I had both Deamweaver and VWD 2008 express open at the same time - (I was looking at JQuery in the Microsoft and Dreamweaver enviroments simultaniously). After the first tie this happened, I closed down Dreamweaver (CS3) and it opened when I tried to run my VWD project. I reinstalled VWD 2008 express, IIS and disabled Dreamweaver (renamed the exe). Dreamweaver still came up.
View 4 RepliesWe have a largely asp.net web form team (With some Oracle developers thrown in).
Question 1:
Is it a good idea to start using asp.net MVC which will mean redevelopment of a number of standard controls for not much benefit.
Question 2:
Is it a good idea to hire developers where there most recent skills are with asp.net MVC?
I doubt there is any benefit adopting MVC now, given the 100+ applications in this suite of products, and the maintenance/rework this will cause. Given this, is there any particular reason to hire MVC developers, as they won't be hitting the ground running, which is what I need now.

I am using visual studio 2005 on windows xp sp3. The website is stored on file system. I used subversion to checkout the code from the server.
Here is the issue:
When I run the application for the first time everything is fine. But when I makes changes in the application then I should just be able to see those changes by reloading the page in browser. But it's not happening. I have to stop the development server and re-run the application which will start a new instance of development server and now I can see the changes. This takes like 3-4 minutes and it's a lot of waste of time which I can't afford.
For my fellow developer who is here for a long time everything is just working fine. He can just modify the page and reload the page in browser to see the changes.
Reading some forums on web, I tried to clear the cache of my browser (IE, Firefox) and it's not working. So, it's not a browser's cache issue. It's related to cache in development server.

View 4 RepliesI've inherited a website which has been developed for IIS server. The hyperlinks in this website have a href attribute with the human readable form that appears in the url in the browser's searchbar.InApplication BeginRequest(), there is a method which will convert this into the acutal location of the page within the website's file structure.This works fine when running the website on IIS. However, when I am using the ASP.NET development server,the links do not work and I get a page not found error.I have noticed that Application_BeginRequest() is never called for the links when run using the ASP.NET development server. I have read that the ASP.NET development server will not serve pages that are outside of the application scope (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/58wxa9w5%28VS.80%29.aspx),as the human-readable urls would appear to be when first processed by the server.Bear in mind that the urls in the aspx files are in human readable form, so I can't just use ResolveUrl(), because they don't correspond to files in the internal file structure until they have been re-written.I want to get the website running on the ASP.NET development server so that I can test it locally on my machine, which I can't really do if I can't get the url re-writing to work.
View 6 RepliesI have a domain with several sub-domains. When I attempt to redirect the root (www.somesite.com and somesite.com) it works fine, however it also forwards the sub-domains. Each sub-domain, including the root site are setup as individual sites. I don't want to forward the sub-domains only the root site.
Is this possible in IIS7 or should I just code redirect in the Index page(S)?
I want to debug a very complicatedm sql query, i am using parameterized style, to easier for me to debug, i want to print out the FULL query before the query hasbeen executed which we can super easy done in classic ASP by just using :
Response.Write (MySQLStatement)
Response.End
But how about in .NET, i want a simple & faster way like the classic ASP has. Anyway is it possible to print it out with FULL(+Parameter values) in .NET?
Example:
string userName = "MyName";
string cmdString = "Select user_id from users where user_name='" + userName + "'";
I want to print out the result as:
Select user_id from users where user_name='MyName';
