Adding MVC Content To An Existing Application?
Jan 31, 2011
We have a web application written in ASP.NET for .NET 3.5, using standard web forms.
Going forward we want to start building new features, and over time migrate existing features, in ASP.NET MVC.
Is such a thing doable? Can we add the necessary files to an ASP.NET web application and thus "upgrade" it to be compatible enough with MVC so that we can start adding routes, controllers, views, etc.?
The old site is using a frameset containing a top header, a left menu, and a main content. What I envisioned was to create a new masterpage for all the existing pages, integrating all of those things into each page instead, and then start adding new pages using views instead.
I understand that unless we upgrade to .NET 4 we cannot use MVC 3, so the way I see it we have the following options:
Build a new website, somehow auto logon the new site with the same credentials when logging in on the main site, and link between the sites. I see tons of problems with this solution. Integrate ASP.NET MVC 2 into the existing software, adding the necessary files, and starting to add new content in MVC style, only fixing critical bugs in the old files, and over time migrate them over to MVC. Upgrade to .NET 4 and integrate ASP.NET MVC 3, pretty much the rest the same as option 2. Wait until we can schedule a full rewrite, likely to not happen in any foreseeable future. Don't do it, keep web forms.
Note that a full rewrite is out of scope at the moment, so some transitional period is the only option we can do right now.
Option 2 and 3 are the ones we want, the rest are just for completeness.

What are the steps to implement webparts into an existing application that already has been set up to use asp.net membership? I have yet to see how to get this to work. The only thing I am accomplishing is generating the following error:
The specified connectionStringName, 'LocalSqlServer', was not registered. (C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Configweb.config line 312) at System.Web.Configuration.ProvidersHelper.InstantiateProvider(ProviderSettings providerSettings, Type providerType) at System.Web.Configuration.ProvidersHelper.InstantiateProviders(ProviderSettingsCollection configProviders, ProviderCollection providers, Type providerType).
So, what is the deal here? Is it because my site uses masterpages? I have profile, roleManager, membership and connectionstrings in my web.config. I tried adding a webpart section, like I found on one website, to no avail. I was still getting the 'LocalSqlServer' error bunk.

I am writing to a CSV that will contain different customer information. Right now when I write to it, it overwrites whatever is in the path right now. Instead of overwriting I would like the new writer.WriteLine to append to the current CSV without overwriting it.
Code
[Code]....
Also, can anyone help me with writing the file to a different location other than my local project file? I need the path to become a server location instead of the CSV folder stored locally.

I have a PDF template(abc.pdf) that defined 1 page with fields to be annotated. And I need to create a PDF using the template which will insert additional identical pages with the exact same as template if my input data requires more pages. When I use the following code (partially) to insert new page the text fields to be annotated are not write on the new page
Rectangle rectangle = reader.GetPageSize(1);
for (int i = 1; i <= Convert.ToInt16(HfPgNumber); i++)
stamper.InsertPage(Convert.ToInt16(HfPgNumber), rectangle);
stamper.Close();
reader.Close();

I have DB (my.mdf ) with already created membership (aspnet_db tables). There are defined roles and users.
I would like to integrate it in my project.
I dropped *.mdf into App_Data folder. When I open app.net configuration (under menu Project) I can't see neither User nor Roles.
What step am I missing?

I've got an existing asp.net project written in vb.net. Another person has written a user control in c#.
the steps for adding that C# user control to the vb.net app?
I've tried copying them to the folder and using "Add existing item", however it doesn't compile the code behind at all.

I have a running ASP.NET web site. There is following problem with one of the forms:
One part of submitted data is added to database after "submit" is clicked. (to "table1") Another part is lost (not added to "table2", and no files uploaded) I have no source code of that project. So, because I cant edit existing page, I came to a decision to add new .aspx page to a running application with same functions as existing one. How can I do that? Or maybe you can recommend some other solution.

To Add new row to a dataset table, I am using code below. Before adding this how do I check if that row has already been added to the dataset?
Example:
Dim newCustomersRow As DataRow = DataSet1.Tables("Customers").NewRow()
newCustomersRow("CustomerID") = "ALFKI"
newCustomersRow("CompanyName") = "Alfreds Futterkiste"
DataSet1.Tables("Customers").Rows.Add(newCustomersRow)
Note: The table I am dealing with does not contain a primary key!

I have a Gridview on my aspx page. On my page_load event I check for a record in the database, if the record exists for that row in the gridview I would like to add a new column in the same gridview and add a button control to it. This adding of new column in the Gridview should happen in the codebehind (c#). see the code I wrote for this, but when I run it, it does not create any column on the gridview page.

This seems like a very basic question but I couldn't find any help on web. If you could provide some link or steps to do this.I have created few basic Silverlight applications which are working fine standalone. I also have a basic ASP.NET application with a solution with around 10 Class Library Projects and 1 website. I want to create a small popup which will have some funtionality using Silverlight.How should I go about creating this application and how to integrate it with my existing application for it to show as a link. I would not want that link to open another application/site.

What I am trying to do is install an open source application to my existing asp.net website. Within my solution in VS2008, I have two "Web Sites", one for my web site and one for the application (forums).I have my web site published to the main domain, and the forums web site published to a subdomain. They both work great.The problem I am having is that I cannot get them to communicate to each other, for example they can't access each others resources. They each have a separate membership provider, but I am attempting to combine them so that if the user logs into one, they are logged into the other. The reason that I have these as two separate web sites within one project is so that the forums can be hosted at the subdomain and the site would just be the main domain.My question is, would it even be possible to accomplish what I am trying to do using separate domains, and if so what would be the best approach?

What are the options available to call another web applications hosted in the same server. Eg: i have a application App1 and App2 hosted on the same server.i just wanted to call App2 from App1 how would i do it.
The most important point is that I can not change the url on the address bar to call the page of the 2nd web application.
Whatever I have achieved so far is I have added a link to my 1st application which redirects to the 2nd application, but it is changing the url on the address bar, I want to redirect to the 2nd application from within the 1st application.

I want to format my numbers throughout the application in a consistent way, no matter what culture is chosen. In fact, it's "non-standard" even for the basic culture that we're using.
I want to format "{1500.50:c}" as: '1500.50', but the standard for my culture 'nl-NL', is: '€ 1.500,00'. We don't have the user-rights, since it's a webapplication, to register custom cultures, therefore we're looking for a runtime solution.
We want a "set and forget" solution. Not a Util class with static (extension) methods, but an application wide solution, so we can continue to use the standard .ToString("c"), or ToString("N") logic, which would follow our custom rules. This would be to alter the .NumberFormat of the Culture, but how? Everything seems to be readonly.
