.net - Deploying Expression Encoder SDK Without Installing?
Jan 16, 2010
I am trying to prove a concept while using the Microsoft Expression Encoder 3 SDK. I am trying to deploy the SDK to my hosted web server to understand more about whether or not that will work and what else needs to be installed. I cannot get anything to work on the server. Here are the 4 Dlls that I understand that I need that I am deploying in my bin folder:
Note: I have not "installed" Expression Encoder on the Web Server, which is using Windows Server 2008. I am just trying to drop the dlls out there.As soon as I copy the file Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.Utilities.dll to the server bin directory, I get the error "The specified module could not be found."Does anyone know how to deploy the Expression Encoder SDK without installing it on the server? If that is not possible, it seems like a pretty huge "feature" to be missing from an SDK.
As I've mentioned in other threads, I have zilch experience configuring iis 5.1. So I've been having some troubles with things that work perfectly on the vs webserver, but when I upload the project, they cease to work.
I have a project where I use expression encoder to encode video files to a format compatible with the silverlight media player . The thing is, when I encode the uploaded videos with expression in the vs bundled webserver, it encodes them Okay, no problem.
But once I upload the project, it just encodes .wmv files. I suppose it's got to be something with permissions, as When I'm working with the vs webserver I can see the ffdshow filters activate in the system tray when the videos are encoding. in the iis versions no such thing happens.
I face some problems while I host my web application(which is a PowerBuilder V12.0 .Net Web Appliaction Developed By PB V12.0 Classic or Migrated from Old PB Versions as the project files are Converted to ASP.Net *.aspx files) in IIS V6.0 on Windows Server 2003and After Installation of .Net Framework Version 4.0 to match the web application which requires .Net Framework 2.0+

Why does the Web Platform Installer force you to install SQL 2008 Express?
I have a production server which already has an installation of SQL 2000 but no web development tools are installed. I would prefer not to add SQL 2008 Express if it is not necessary. The server in addition to being the primary intranet webserver is also DC, APP SERVER, FILE SERVER and basically does not need to handle an extra instance of SQL.
The main purpose of this is just one of convenience to have the web development app on the RDP Desktop instead of attaching to the server in some manner (ftp/unc share).
I created (and used) a Windows Media Encoder object in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition on MS Server 2003 64 bit. This worked fine.
However, when I attempted to create the equivalent Windows Media Encoder object using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 on MS Server 2003 64 bit, the following exception was thrown:
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {632B606A-BBC6-11D2-A329-006097C4E476} failed due to the following error: 80040154."
It cannot be that the component isn't registered, because both have a reference to the same WMEncEng.dll file. The Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 code also worked fine on XP 32 bit.
I am using XAMPP to publish my a .net application. The server is working fine. I created a sample login.aspx file, and it works fine. I deleted the sample login file, and I build and copy all the files to the XAMPP directory. When I tried to acces the page, it gave an error message "Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, contact the
As I know, the inline expression in the attributes of server control can't be parsed but the binding expression should if we invoke the DataBind method. But the above case breaks the rule.
I'm trying to use the validator to work on a email form to ensure that they enter a valid from email address. That part works. I also want to add to the expression the text that I pre-populate in the txtbox ("Enter your email address") so on postback, after sending the message, I can clear the fields and repopulate that box.
How do I add that wording to the current expression: w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*
I am using Regular Expression validator for a text box. The below is working fine.It is not performing validation when I enter values like 0000..001.How can I modify validation expression? But it would allow values like 100,...5000 i.e zeros after a number.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="reg2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="rng2" ValidationExpression="^[0-9]+" ErrorMessage="*Please Enter a Valid Number for Second Range." ForeColor="Red" Font-Bold="True"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
I need some help in regular expression.I am validating the textbox text when updating the records.When i click the update button,the first 5 letters should be equal to CM000 or cm000.How to validate this using regular expression in asp.net. does anyone know validationexpression for this.
On MVC 1.0, Microsoft had a nice standalone installer to put MVC 1.0 assemblies in the GAC on the target server. Is there such a beast for MVC 2.0 or am I responsible for manually deploying the MVC 2.0 assemblies?
I will be writing a php site and i am thinking about the hosting server. I have used IIS before with FASTCGI on a php forum and did not have issues. Whoever this was not a high traffic forum, so i could not really see any performance problems it may came up with. This will be a high traffic site so i want to know if IIS will have problems. Of course i would have used Apache right from the start but i do have much experience on Linux, so i was thinking, if there is no specific advantage then i should save some time and go with IIS that i know how to work with.
I have asp.net apps I have written that might be useful running locally on a users machine. My question involves how practical or impractical this might be? In the past, we've written separate desktop and web user interfaces. But we find asp.net programming so much easier to develop and maintain than desktop (although that perhaps is mainly due to the fact that we control what operating system/environment it is being run on). But in any case, it seems it could be desireable to be able to install a personal web server on the users machine (like those that come with VS) so that the same exact asp.net app could be run locally thru a browser instead of distributing a separate desktop interface. We would need it to be a professional download/install that could be performed by the user without aid. Is this something that's done? Is it practical? Are there particular pitfalls to worry about? What personal web server would make sense that could be freely distributed?
I just want to be able to connect to a remote MySQL database on my ASP.net c# website running on localhost.
It's so I can grab some records, and insert them into my SQL server database. Do I need to download any drivers? And how do I connect and fetch records?
I'm having trouble with a web application in IIS 6.0 that doesn't seem to be able to run Ajax Control Toolkit that is in the Global Assembly Cache. I thought I had installed it correctly using GACUTIL /I etc., but perhaps I am misunderstanding the process. Is there more to it than just running GACUTIL? Is there a custom installer that I should be using? The web application complains that it cannot find System.Web.Ajax ... is this a separate dll download? If so, where would I get System.Web.Ajax 3.0.31106.0 , there doesn't seem to be a download available on the Codeplex pages.
I currently have the following showing as installed in my GAC:
I get the following error when i try to install asp.net mvc 3 using the Web Platform Installer 3.0: "This product did not install succesfully: Downloaded file failed signature verification and may have been tampered with" The other thing I've noticed is that inside the "Application DataMicrosoftWeb Platform InstallerinstallersMVC3..." folder, the Web Platform Installer creats a "AspNetMVC3Setup.exe" file that has a size an aprox file size of 200KB. Meanwhile, at the beginign of the instalation process the Web Platform Installer informs that it will download a 20MB file.

The HRIS app in my company is a asp.net web application which started showing bugs after IE 8.0 was rolled out on our company intranet. Few people open multiple instances of the app with different credentials, now since IE 8.0 has this session sharing feature on different browser windows, the sessions in both windows become the same but the data rendered on controls of the page is different and that results in incosistent data going into the database.The application is huge and has a userbase of more than 5000. Is there any way other than changing thesession to cookieless. One approach could be to restrict only one instance of the app on a mchine at a time. But I am not able to find a way to implement this. Looking for a solution which would have minimum impact.
When installing an instance of SQL Server, to make sure that any Web Application that has user rights to access the database can make a connection to it, what user must be used for service accoiunts, provisioning, etc.
I always use the "NT Authority Network Service" for my service accounts, and then use "mixed mode" and enable "administrators" for provisioning. Doing it this time, for some reason I can't get access to my SQL Server databases without turning off the firewall completely even though I have the correct ports opened up.
I know that I used mixed mode, but the only thing I can think of is that I chose a different user for the service accounts.
i would like to install a license such that it should run for a week or so. What i am doing is i will make setup file of my application and give it to the user when the user install it on PC i would like to give a default license which can run up to a week. After that even if he changes the date i would like to show a message as License expired
I need to know how can i give the user a default license which can run up to a week.
