my subprojects creates serveral web.config files? I have solution that consists of 10 projects and I want everyone to compalie but the one in the top root. Now my problem is that my subprojects are all located inside folders in the root and my subprojects generates each a web.config. Thhis doesnät work very good so what should I reconfigure would you say?
View 2 RepliesCurrently, I work on an ASP.NET project which is hosted under version control and is used on several developer machines, tester machine and production environment.
In three cases, configuration (Web.config) may be different. For example, developer and tester environments use testing SQL Server, whereas in production environment, another SQL Server is accessed, so the connection string is different in those cases.
We want to keep three versions of Web.config in subversion. But modifying each of three files every time we need to add, remove or change a common setting is annoying: it would be nice to have a common, master Web.config, which will be inherited by each of the three Web.config files.
How to set up an ASP.NET project which will use a master configuration file and different slave configuration files on different machines, thus sharing the same project/source code/configuration files in subversion?
One of my NUnit tests has to read in some values from config files. In my main application this process works perfectly well, however when I run the unit test, the code that reads in the values from the config files doesnt read anything in. Ive tried putting app.config in my unit test project (I even tried web.config) but nothing seems to work. Are there any special steps involved when reading from config files in an nunit test ?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to add build configuration dependant web config files to my empty ASP.NET 4 Web site project. How can I do that? According to this blog entry, VS 2010 is supposed to provide a context menu entry on the original web.config file, Add Config Transform, allowing to add build configuration dependant web.config files to the project. But this context menu entry doesn't exist. What did I do wrong?
Steps to reproduce:

We are experiencing some strange behaviour on one of our ASP.NET web servers (Windows 2003 64-bit). After some activity, two third-party controls are unable to run correctly. One is log4net (it does not write error messages out) and the other is a menu control (it displays eval message instead of picking up its license). The one common thread is that both controls pick up their config from external config files (linked to from web.config).
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this or experienced this in any way. Is it related to file/folder rights? The server has been running fine for a while and just started exhibiting this behaviour. Perhaps it occurs around the time the worker processes are recycled.
I was following the tutorials from this two sites:
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/070104.htm
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/020404-1.aspx
Following the first site, it had worked but when I´ve moved the pages and files to other folders and set the web.config file on this folder, now it won´t work at all!!!
The file is an *.swf object. I did put the asapi.dll to map the extension on the website root, I´ve put the
[Code]....
on the web.config new folder and on the web.config website´s root.
It won´t work!!! I can access the file directly!!! on the web.config of the folder that contains the file, there is a <deny users="*" /> line.
I just upgraded to VS 2010 and MVC 2.0 and I noticed the web.config has two additional files attached to it? Are these files used to specify debug and release specific settings, so you don't clutter up the main web.config?
Does it even make sense to place a connection string in the root web.config file if I have have a local and remote one in the debug and release web.configs respectively.
I am try to create architecture design for WCF service.
We have WCF service that we have to expose to third party so then can request with xml and get back xml response.
The wcf service should do the following:
- Accept the request call with xml
- Check xml against the schema
- Parse the xml
- Authenticate the incoming xml by username and password that will be in xml
- Send back the response
If anybody can let me know what kind of design I can use or is there any pattern available that I can take it and then extend it as per my requirement.
I was tasked to create 3 tier web application. However, i browsed through many books & tutorials. The examples are doing it using Object data source which my lecturers claimed that it is not 3 tier at all. Shouldn't be dragging any data source into deisgn view. Any comprehensive examples for me to take reference from?

View 7 RepliesI will explain the my current yet simple architecture of my application(s). At the moment I have my main web application as a separate project. I then reference the CoreBLLDAL (Business Logic and Data Access) Project so that several projects can have access to the BLL/DAL Project.
Within the CoreBLLDLL Project I use TableAdapters for my DAL.
I have just upgraded to VS2010 and I would like to make use of the Config Transforms, allowing me to have a separate web.config for test and production - however, TableAdapter get the connection string from the Settings.settings file.
How can I change the TableAdapters to get the connection string from the app/web.config file? I read that you can change this within the designer file for the TableAdapters by using ConfigurationManager, however, I tried this but I do not have access to the ConfigurationManager namespace. I presume this is because the project is a class library and not a web application - I am not too sure.
How to create MSI Files or setup files programmatically using MSBuild in VS 2008
View 1 RepliesHere's what I want to do, however I'm not sure of the best place for Excel. Excel files are sent via e-mail from various sources, from each source, they are sent in different versions of Excel and different information layouts, though from each source they are consistent.
Overview.
I want to give the user a front end to enable them to place the excel files into a drop zone and specify which files have come from which source. I then want to pass the file names and source origin to a workflow service. Based on this info the workflow service will then take 1..n workflow routes based on the source with the ultimate aim that data will be placed into an SQLServer 2005 DB or if the Excel lines cannot be processed, then output for the user to see with a reason. Because this is quite a complex task, I'm taking each source in turn.
Initial Problem.
My first set of Excel files come in 4 seperate files. I need to first merge the data in the Excel sheets to make 1 File for Processing. Some of the rows in the spreadsheets can be merged into a single line under certain conditions which will make the business logic much easier further on. So, first off After the user has dropped the Excel files into the drop zone I need to open the spreadsheets and merge them. I then need to feed each line to a 'rules' engine to determine the data and business logic that needs to be processed before updating the DB. So I thought I'd use a Workflow service for this since there will be no reason not to work on multiple sources at the same time as I progress through the development of the program. The problem I have is that unless I download the CP1 for workflow I cannot use this directly (so it appears) for working with Excel. So I was looking at using possibly WCF as the 'feed' to the workflow service, but can I use WCF to do the possible long running process of merging the Excel spreadsheets before pasing a row at a time down to the workflow service?
We are storing the WAV file into a database table as VARBINARY(MAX). We want to play the WAV file directly in a web page. We want to use PLAY, PAUSE and STOP for these WAV files.
We want the user to have a Control on the page to play the WAV file.
Here we DO NOT want to store the FILE in the Web Server's file structure. It is againt the SECURITY policy.
We tried different ways. Nothing is working. We used SoundPlayer class. Using this, we can only PLAY and STOP but can not PAUSE the WAV file.
I am building a command line application and I need to transform data within my application's classes to text.
It would make my life easy if I could use ASPX files to render my data into the target text format.
To achieve that, I need to be able to render an aspx file outside IIS. The following article explains how:

The article is developed in 2003.
Is there any better way to so achieve similar result in .NET 4.0? Does MVC make this easier? Is this very memory/performance intensive? I have to create a new ApplicationHost anytime my command line application is executed. Is this approach reliable enough to be used in an environment with high throughput?
I have two projects (Project A and Project B), these projects are hosted in different locations and on different servers. Project B want to access the files of Project A. which technique is required to fulfill my requirements.
View 1 RepliesWe need to download multiple files from remote servers. It is a process that would take few hours to complete, since we are talking about images ~50kb each and more than 250.000 in total. Each images will downloaded, resized and then imported to SQL.DB, so we do not need to write files to the disk. Also the applications need to use network credentials, since it is behind ISA.
From your experience, what is the best method to implement this? Should we use WebClient or HttpSockets? Should we use Async methods or Threads ? How can we implement for example 5 simultaneously download to achieve better speed, since we may getting files from many different servers at once?

View 10 RepliesI have a single project. and I have two folder in it. In the 1st folder I have a class named Class1 and in the 2nd folder I have a class named Class2. Can anyone tell me how I can access members of Class1 in Class2. I have tried by adding namespace in Class1 and Using that namespace in Class2. But it is giving error. It is easy to access classes or their members from App_Code folder. I don't want to put my classes in app_code folder.
View 3 RepliesI have been wrestling with web services technology/techniques for part of 2010 - learning how to reate/consume/deploy... I have also been experimenting with third party web controls from ComponentArt. In some of the samples from ComponentArt I observed that they use .asmx files locally to populate their custom data controls (datagrids, comboboxes, treeview controls...). What is interesting (and a little bit confusing to me) is that in the ComponentArt samples they reference the web services directly within their controls in the markup. My question is if this can be done normally with controls that ship with Visual Studio (any version -- I have em all 2005, 2008, 2010). I ask this question because from VS I only know to reference web services by right clicking on the project in the solution explorer to add a web reference.
Here is the services tag used by ComponentArt
<Services>
<asp:ServiceReference path="FileExplorerTreeViewService.asmx" />
</Services>
Then in the property grid of a data control -- say a treeview control-- they reference the web service, and when the project is run -- the control is populated with data from the web service.
Do data controls from VS support this technique? My other question is if there is a benefit to using a web service as a datasource for a control and what is this benefit? What is the criteria for using a web service in this manner?
The sequence of events is as follows:
1. A piece of software running locally on my pc periodically uploads (approximately every three minutes) to my webserver an xml file comprised of six fields. The file size is < 1K.
1a. The file name is always the same. ie. filename.xml is uploaded. Three minutes later, filename.xml is uploaded again, this time with different contents. I have no control over renaming this file.
2. A chunk of code that parses the xml and inserts the six fields into a database
3. Deletes the xml file
4. Waits for the next xml file to appear in the folder
5. Goto 2.
The locally running software uploads the file without issue. So far, I'm able to parse the xml, do the database insert and delete the file manually by refreshing the browser window and subsequently running the code in the .cshtml file. What I'm having a hard time conceptualizing is what the best way is to set up an automated event/method that watches the folder and when a new file appears, write it to the db without user intervention. Also, where would I put this code? _AppStart? Do I need to start a FileSystemWatcher event on the server somehow? I'm kinda stumped as to how best to proceed.
I'm interested to know how others maintain their web.config files for deployed applications. (assuming no automated deployment mechanism - that is out of the scope of this question)So during development, some developers might make use of web.config transformations, build/publish their projects (debug/release, test/live configurations), then deploy all published artifacts to a web server and set up IIS. Some developers might build/publish their projects, deploy published artifacts to a web server, set up IIS, then manually update the web.configs for the specific environment (test/live, etc) they are deploying into
View 2 RepliesIn my experience, web.config files are widely reviled. In particular, I have found them difficult to manage when you have multiple environments to support, and fiddly to update due to the lack of validation at update-time and the verbosity of XML.
