After IIS reset,first hit taking a long time because App Pool is starting and other NET components,DB connections are initializing. What would be the best way to warm up IIS applications and preload required components (e.g. GAC Assemblies, WCF, WWF libraries).
View 5 RepliesWe have a Web Role that we are hosting in Windows Azure that uses an old ASMX based Web Reference to contact an external system. The Web Reference proxy code is big enough that instantiating it the first time has a significant cost.
We'd like to be able to have this run when the Web Role starts instead of on the first request.
I know IIS 7.5 has an Application Warm-Up module that would allow us to achieve this, but I'm having trouble figuring out if something similar exists with hosting on Windows Azure.
I've been worked with web services so far, and I'm interested in expanding my services to console applications as well so I started digging up with WCF but I'm conserned that I won't be able to use the HttpContext collection that I've been used to do with web services one important thing which is to generate a random value from HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["ALL_HTTP"] that I need to reckon if it's the same or at least near what machine that is calling my service. How can I overcome this problem?
I need to know what machine is calling to count the number of attempts to login into my system for example. So must do it inside of the svc code otherwise if I let the client inform what ip address or what computer he is using, anyone could forge this argument and surpass by another machine. May be I'm approaching this matter wrongly. And I should count the number of attempts per state session, but how is it done?
Our corporate intranet is designed so that each web application is a child application in the primary application.. Everything has worked fine with Visual Studio 2008 and even in 2010 running the website locally works great, the output directory for the child apps is ..in and the ProjectName.dll copies to that directory.. When I do a publish however it does not and I have to manually copy the dll from the bin folder in the project folder to the parent bin folder, this isn't hard of course but more of a pain in the butt each time I need to publish something. I made sure the output directory is correct for both debug and release yet on publish is just copies it to the child bin and not the parent bin as needed.

i want to create a Master page and allow the application's users to modify the content.
Ideally give them the ability to add controls such as image sliders (but this is not the main scope)
Main objective is the ability to modify the content usually text. Bu more is always better.
HiMy web site uses 2 unmanaged DLLs (gsl.dll, cblas.dll). I put these dll's in the bin folder along with some other managed dll's. On my development system everything is fine when using the built-in dev server in Visual Studio 2010. However, when I run the site through my dev system's IIS instead of the Visual Studio server I get the following error:'C:<absolute path to bin folder>ingsl.dll': Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

View 2 RepliesWe have several web applications that create a shopping cart, save it to a database, then redirect to a centralized web application to process and accept payment for the shopping cart. Right now, we are using GUIDs for the shopping cart IDs and passing those GUIDs in the querystring to the payment application. We are using GUIDs so that a user cannot easily guess the shopping cart ID of another user and simply plug that ID into the URL.
Now, using GUIDs in the database is bad for indexing and using GUIDs in the URL does not truly prevent a user from accessing another cart. However, using passing integers around would make it too easy.
What is the best and most secure way to pass the IDs from the individual applications to the centralized payment application?
I know that some people may say, "Who cares if someone else wants to pay for someone else's shopping cart?" However, we have the same concern when passing IDs to the page that displays the receipt and that page includes the customer's name.
A few months ago I was interviewing for a job inside the company I am currently in, I dont have a strong web development background, but one of the questions he posed to me was how could you improve this block of code.I dont remember the code block perfectly but to sum it up it was a web hit counter, and he used lock on the hitcounter.
lock(HitCounter)
{
// Bla...
}
However after some discussion he said, lock is good but never use it in web applications!What is the basis behind his statement? Why shouldnt I use lock in web applications?
I am developing a web application for mortgage business related data (not mortgage calculation)in C#.( My job is to convert a classic asp app ..so workflow is already there. )Suggest sample application from where i can read and follow structure . It should have tabbed panes, user creation with different level of rights, complex web forms taking lots of input and using ajax.(even a bit of LINQ....as demanded by management!!) I found Nopcommerce interface very good. something similar but smaller in size. My ASP.net webforms knowledge is beginner to intermediate level.
View 1 RepliesMy question so general, but I think the answer will be specific.
All I want to know is:
Is there a way or steps or mechanism to test the application (web application) in a professional way?
Many times when I finish developing and try my application, testing it with dummy data several times, and when I think every thing is okay and I think I have covered all possible scenarios, I find I forgot important issues, or others tell me they found problems in my application.
How do I overcome this problem, and save my time?

View 2 RepliesI upgraded my current IE6 version to IE8 recently, but one of my Asp.net web application has some problem with the allignment of some lebels, textboxes etc in the web pages. The application is working fine, but only with the design issue(some textboxes and labels are not in a proper order as before in IE6). I have selected the compatability view in IE8, but still the issue is there. I have changed the 'Absolute' positioning of the fields in the web pages to 'Relative', but no use.

View 4 RepliesI have a very huge Asp.Net application using Asp.net 3.5 with aournd 3000 pages. Now we need to integrate some Silverlight controls in it. For e.g we need to change the dashborad to incorporate new SL UX. My question is that easy to use these 2 technologies i.e. Asp.Net and SL and both have different projects. Will that be difficult for us to communicate with each of these web applications and SL Application. We are in the middle of making a decision as to how to integrate SL in our exisiting application.
Keep in mind that its out of the question that we can shift the whole application to SL. We must have to stick to asp.net 3.5 or 4
I have a web application (MainApplication) where many of the pages contain a custom Web Control that looks for some content in a cache. If it can't find any data within the cache, then it goes out to a database for the content. After retrieving the content, the Control displays the content on the page.
There is a web application (CMS) in a subdirectory within the aforementioned web application. Users use this CMS to update the content pulled in by the MainApplication.
When a user updates some content using the CMS, I need the CMS to clear the relevant portion of the cache used by the MainApplication. The problem is that, as two different web applications, they can't simply interact with the same static cache object.
The ideal solution would be to somehow share an instance of a cache object between both web applications.
Failing that, what would be the best (performance-wise) way of communicating between the two web applications? Obviously, writing/reading to a database would defeat the purpose. I was thinking about a flat file?
I begin with MVC and this technology is very efficient !
I would like to create several applications mapped with a common applicaton Users Accounts. The aim is to isolate logical parts.
