Changes In Ascx / Aspx Files Will Reset Application?
Feb 16, 2011
Changes in ascx / aspx files - will it reset application? Sometimes on dev server they won't cause it whereas on live server I think it sometimes causes it. What is the rule?
At some point in the last month, two web application projects that I've been working on have stopped showing updates to aspx and ascx files until IIS is restarted, or the website they belong to is reset. This seems to be very random and I can't find any reason in the web.config sections that would cause this change. What are some good places to look for a source to this issue?Current caching parts of web.config: Removing the outputCacheProfile and restarting IIS made no difference.
We've also tried adding .ascx and .aspx extensions with CacheUntilChange which made no difference. Other sites with these same settings aren't having the issue. Edit: Originally this state that there also was no update when the project was built, I haven't personally been able to confirm that issue but was told by another developer that was occurring.
I have one aspx page and more than ascx files, i have links on aspx page. if i click one of the link, it will upload the relevant ascx file on main aspx file.
You've probably noticed that when you debug an error which comes from an ASPX or ASCX file (literally, not from a corresponding code-behind file), ASP.NET displays an error page showing you the source file and the line on which the error occurs. The source file being displayed is automatically generated from parsing the page/control. The question is: how can I see this source file without purposely causing an exception?
I'd love to hear that there is some programmatic way (the complexity doesn't matter) to generate source files (preferrably, .cs) from a series of ASPX/ASCX files.
Example. Consider the following ASPX page (the code-behind file may even be absent):
d:DevAspxGenAspxGenDefault.aspx(9,80): error CS0103: The name 'ThereIsNoSuchProperty' does not exist in the current context
This means, theoretically I can open the .CS files passed to the compiler (namely, App_Web_sqj3krv3.0.cs and App_Web_sqj3krv3.1.cs) and see what ASP.NET has generated from my ASPX markup. Trying to rephrase the previous question: how can I obtain this file from an arbitrary ASPX file (assuming that the file is correct and hence no info will be given on where to search)?
I was just editing some C# code between <% %> tags in an .ascx file, and I noticed that the Refactor contextual menu is unavailable. And even if I manually add items from this menu to a custom toolbar, they are disabled when viewing aspx/ascx files.
I usually only have small snippets of C# code in my aspx/ascx files, but it would still be nice to be able to perform refactoring operations on any code that exists between <% %> tags. I feel like I'm going back to the dark ages when I have to use find/replace to change the name of a variable.
Questions
Is there a way to enable Visual Studio's refactoring features while viewing aspx/ascx files in Visual Studio?
Are there any Visual Studio plug-ins (preferably free) that offer this kind of functionality?
I'll be debugging a site in Visual Studio 2010 and editing an *.aspx or *.ascx file, and without warning, it will lock up so that I can't edit it. There's no message or anything, I just can't type or make any changes. The only way to start editing again is to stop debugging, close the editing window, and then find whatever file I was working on and reopen it. It's a huge pain in the you-know-what. My colleagues are experiencing the same thing, so it's apparently not something with my particular setup. What's the explanation, and how can we make it stop?
Note 1: I've reported this to Microsoft here. If you've experienced this as well, please go there and vote up the bug report.
Note 2: This is not VSS-related, at least in my case. We use VisualSVN, which doesn't use file-system-level locking to mark files as checked out.
If we are deploying ASP.NET web application, Do we need to copy both *.aspx and *.aspx.cs files on the server?Also what if I am using different framework version? I mean 1.1 / 2.0 /3.0 /3.5 /4.0? What will be the answer in different .NET Framework versions?
I want to publish my web application as a single .dll file without all the source code and .aspx markup pages.
I am using VS 2010 with the "Web Deployment Project" add-in. In the compilation settings, I unchecked "make this site updatable" because I want the .aspx files to be compiled as well.
Publishing my web application using the publish feature in VS 2010 works fine, and a single .dll file is created in the "bin" directory.
But all the .aspx markup files are still copied to the web server! I've read that those files are merely marker files which can be deleted, but not in my case. They still contain the whole markup and when I delete them, my application won't run anymore.
It's like I had checked the "make this site updatable" option, but I haven't!
We have been building ASP.Net websites for many years. During this time we gathered a lot of knowledge of ASP.Net. We know what to use, a what not. One problem is still, persistently, bugging us. I hope to solve this for once and for all.
We have a fairly large solution with lots of aspx-files. All aspx-files reside in one Web Application Project. This single big WAP needs to be split in multiple smaller projects.
There are a number of ways to accomplish this, but I am still unsure what the best way would be. We use ASP.Net 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 Premium.
This is our current work-around (which we do not like)
I have a Menus user control and depending on which menu item the User clicks, the appropriate page is loaded by setting the hyperlink.NavigateUrl to the appropriate aspx page.I need to use the same page for 2 different menu items but I need to pass a value to the page so I know which data to load into it.Is there a way to pass the menu name or any other value from the usercontrol to the asp.net page?
I have a web user control and I want to run it in a page.
but the problem is that I want to have just the out put of user control and not whole HTML page.
I want this because I load the page output in another page and if the first page generates a complete html file, in the second page I have 2 HTML,Head,Body ,..
I have many aspx page includes in my web form. I want to convert them to user controls. Just wanted to confirm whether there is any performance gain in doing so? I have 50 pages in which the aspx page is included.
I have this page, shown below. In the ASCX file, the data is generated using a DataGrid in which a user searches for fields and it displays results based on input criteria. This is using a stored procedure and parameters to perform this search. It then returns the results, populates a datagrid, now my question is how would I go about in my ASPX page having my disk icon allow a user to download a CSV of the data that has been returned in the ASCX page. I obviously need to run a command to generate the CSV file from the database, which I have all the code for, but my question really is how do I know what the user has searched for, or what results were returned I guess best put.
I'm currently converting a set of .aspx pages and the VB code behind them to .ascx and C#.
Basically the system I'm working with validates a shopping basket but with me changing the class the code inherits from I'm having issues working out what I should change it too.
I'm changing from System.Web.UI.Page to System.Web.UI.UserControl and am primarily having problems with the Validator.Add(v) element of the code below:
public override void Validate() { base.Validate(); if (Profile.ShoppingCart == null || Profile.ShoppingCart.Items.Count == 0) { CustomValidator v = new CustomValidator(); v.ErrorMessage = "You must have at least 1 course in your basket."; v.IsValid = false; Validator.Add(v); } }
How can I get the resolved (<%%> resolved) view (aspx or ascx) in a string format? I want to have .ascx file with some <%= ... %> code blocks and I want to be able to send it as part of e-mail in HTML format. How can I do this with MVC?
Not sure which category to put this question in, so I will put it in here. Just to give you an idea of the layout of my solution, I have the main project, along with 2 class libraries, BLL and DAL. (Business Logic Layer and Data Access Layer) The BLL refers to the DAL and the main project refers to the BLL. I had a test website and the code worked fine, but the same code will not work on the real project. The only difference is that in the test project, the code was on an aspx code behind, whereas in the real project, it is an ascx code behind (Web User Control
)
The code is:
[Code]....
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString").ConnectionString
I need to be able to get those parameters on the main aspx page, because they are needed for an action that is called there. How could I access these parameters?
We are developing a framework which will be shared accross applications. What is the best way to share master pages, user controls accross applications by preventing other developers to modify the master pages and the user controls ?
Is the following way suitable one ? Embedding masterpages and the user controls in a dll and using VirtualPathProvider to load the master pages and user controls dynamically.
But in this approach developers can not view the design. Is there any other way to convert master pages and user controls to a different format as developers can able to view design?
