Architecture That Displays Messages (like Downtime) In Application?
Aug 13, 2010
I'm thinking of a architectural way of displaying messages in our application (Flex-Asp.NET-SqlServer), mostly messages that announce for instance a downtime.Currently I was thinking of creating a table FlexMessage that holds the name of a message (based on that name I now where to put in Flex) and the value (the message itself). As a result however, someone will have to create these messages and also delete them when they are no longer valid. So, thinking further, I thought of creating messages having a startdate and enddate, so an interval in which they need to be displayed. Like this, someone could login to the management part and create a message that needs to be displayed from a certain date until a certain date.I could also hardcode it in the Flex Application, but that would mean putting a new build online (of the swf) each time something changes with a certain message.

We have a huge ASP.NET web application which needs to be deployed to LIVE with zero or nearly zero downtime. Let me point out that I've read the following question/answers but unfortunately it doesn't solve our problems as our architecture is a little bit more complicated.
Let's say that currently we have two IIS servers responding to requests and both are connected to the same MSSQL server. The solution seems like a piece of cake but it isn't because of the major schema changes we have to apply from time to time. Because of it's huge size, a simple database backup takes around 8 minutes which has become unacceptable, but it is a must before every new deploy for security reasons.
Currently the best idea we came up is buying another SQL server which would be set up as a replica of the original DB. From the load balancer we would route all new traffic to one of the two IIS webservers. When the second webserver is free of running sessions then we can make deploy the new code. Now comes the hard part. At this point we would go offline with the website, take down the replication between the two SQL servers so we directly have a snapshot of the database in a hopefully consistent state (saves us 7.5 of the 8 minutes). Finally we would update the database schema on the main SQL server, and route all traffic via the updated webserver while we are upgrading the second webserver to the new version.
also share your thoughts regarding this solution. Can we somehow manage to eliminate the need for going offline with the website? How do bluechip companies with mammuth web applications do deployment?
Edit 1 (2010.01.12):
Another requirement is to eliminate manual intervention, so in fact we are looking for a way which can be applied in an automated way.
Let me just remind you the requirement list:
1. Backup of database
2a. Deploy of website
2b. Update of database schema
3. Change to updated website
4 (optional): easy way of reverting to the old website if something goes very wrong.

I have a customer requirement where they would like to have different windows of a web application on 2 different displays (monitors): data lookup and entry on one screen and a document viewer on the other. The document viewer will be Flash or Silverlight based and loaded in a webpage. The app will be at least partially based on SharePoint. There is a need for communication between the two windows: when for instance a new task is clicked in the "data" view, the accompanying document needs to be opened in the other one.
The difficulties as far as I can determine:
[code]....
I understand that I can launch the second window from Javascript, but that does not give me a lot of control over it. This solution will run in a closed, controlled environment, so limiting the solution to a specific browser (preferably IE8+) or the need to install additional software/components is no problem.

For error messages, validation faults etc you have
ModelState.AddErrorMessage("Fool!");
But, where do you put success responses like "You successfully transfered alot of money to your ex." + "Your balance is now zero". I still want to set it at the controller level and preferably in key-value way, the same way as errormessages but without invalidating the modelstate.

My company is planning on having some planned down time, because of some server migrations. Their are about 20 different web applications (internet, and intranet). Any of which can go down at any one time because of the server migration of applications.
So, does anyone know if their is a way to provide a generic message to users if a particular application is down? Like a popup message box, or generic page for that particular application? The idea is to not write 20 different popups or 20 different Fyi-Web pages. But one single page or popup informing that the application is down.

We've got an application that displays PDF files in an IFrame at specific Named Destinations. This works well on Windows systems but not Mac. In Safari, with Acrobat, the Named Destination is ignored and the document is displayed at the start.
how we might accomplish the task of displaying this information? Our initial thoughts are to:
Convert the PDF to HTML on the fly and display the HTML version in the IFrame Convert the PDF on the page referenced to another format such as PNG etc. and display that in the IFrame Utilize some kind of Java app that allowed us to render the PDF while honouring the Named Destination (not sure if this exists)
Any other ideas on a potential method of better displaying PDF files at Named Destination points that is a little more cross platform?
EDIT: I guess another option is to store the data in XSL/XSLT type format and convert to HTML for veiwing or PDF for saving to the desktop.

Im using the MySql Membership-,Role- and ProfileProvider. If the mysql-server goes offline the site crashes (ofcourse). But when the mysql-server gets back online the site still crashes, complaining that the Role provider cant get initialized because of missing or incorrect schema. If I then make a meaningless change to the web.config (like adding a space somewhere) the site works again.

I need to develop an application, which will get records (orders) from one application and process them. The updates to this records (order updates) will be sent back to the source application for end customer reference. I'm planning to achieve this data synchronization at the database level using triggers and stored procedures to insert database between the 2 databases.
But, the issue is I have to deploy this application in 3 different customer sites and I have to change the database names (cannot use the same database name) in each deployment manually. Because of this deployment issue, I was thinking of handling this within the asp.net application where I can store the db name in the database and then build the query within the application, but I dont want to do it as building queries like that doesnt look very professional.

I'm starting to plan an architecture for a big web application, and I wanted to get suggestions and/or recommendations on where to begin and which technologies and/or frameworks to use.The application will be an Intranet-based web site using Windows authentication, running on IIS and using SQL Server and ASP.NET. It'll need to be structured as a main/shell application with sub-applications that are "pluggable" based on some configuration settings.

I'm designing my first asp.net web app, using nHibernate as the data provider. i've read a lot about nhibernate in web applications using session-per-request pattern. my application will have a few pages which are 'monitors', meaning- they're updated automatically every few seconds to reflect recent changes to data. in that case, my thought is that opening a session for every request would not make much sense, since I know that an identical request is sure to follow in a few seconds. my thought is that session-per-conversation would make more sense for me, but I'm having trouble finding examples of implementations. I'd appreciate any good resources for how to implement session-per-conversation
