I need to have a copy of all my pages, bin fold, data folder, etc stored in a folder in the root of project called installation.
Once I have copied the contents of my web site into the installation folder how can I tell the complie/run process to ignore that folder ?
Im trying out the Hudson Continuous Integration. After the build is executed i want to copy the content of the ReleaseBuild to another website on the server.This should be possible i guess but i cant seem figure it out.I know this can be done in nAnt and msbuild but i need to make Hudson do it, eg plugin or something.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a folder to store some web controls, so the site structure doesn't have a zillion files in the root.
Except that if I create an ordinary folder, that folder is also visible on the web site. MSDN said you cannot put it in App_Code, and it doesn't really make sense to put it in other special folder like App_Data or App_Theme.
When I make an asp.net web application and add class libraries to the solution, the website project itself has a folder with the same name/contents as the class library.
Eg I make a web application called Test, add a project which is a class library, to the solution, called testAbc, and then there is a folder at the root of the website project called testAbc with the contents of the class lib.

I read why this happens in a book a while ago but can't quite remember now.
We have a platform for web applications. The idea is that different clients can have their data hosted and displayed on their own site which sits on top of this platform. Each site has a configuration which determines which panels relevant to the client appear on which pages.
The system was originally designed to keep all the configuration data for each site in a database. When the site is loaded all the configuration data is loaded into a SiteConfiguration object, and the clients panels are generated based on the content of this object. This works, but I find it very difficult to work with to apply change requests or add new sites because there is so much data to sift through and it's difficult maintain a mental model of the site and its configuration.
Recently I've been tasked with developing a subset of some of the sites to be generated as PDF documents for printing. I decided to take a different approach to how I would define the configuration in that instead of storing configuration data in the database, I wrote XML files to contain the data. I find it much easier to work with because instead of reading meaningless rows of data which are related to other meaningless rows of data, I have meaningful documents with semantic, readable information with the relationships defined by visually understandable element nesting.
So now with these 2 approaches to storing site configuration data, I'd like to get the opinions of people more experienced in dealing with this issue on dealing with these two approaches. What is the best way of storing site configuration data? Is there a better way than the two ways I outlined here?
note: StackOverflow is telling me the question appears to be subjective and is likely to be closed. I'm not trying to be subjective. I'd like to know how best to approach this issue next time and if people with industry experience on this could provide some input.
i have being asked to debug some asp pages.. when i received the folder, i only saw .ascx files.. i found that i need to decompile the kcp.dll located in the bin folder to do my work.. i have VS 2010 and .Net Reflector.. but when i open the dll with the reflector i can only view the codes but i cannot edit it.. any1 able to assist me on this? Summary: 1) Decompile kcp.dll 2) edit the codes and compile it back.
View 2 RepliesOn our website, we have an application within our website. The following is the folder structure:
website1 (main website)
bin directory1
website2(an application)
bin directory2
webconfig2
webconfig1
There are other folders under each of the main folders which contain other pages, images, etc.
We're trying to upgrade the website and are encountering some difficulties. We want to remove the website2 from the main website to see it it's causing the problem.
However, we cannot remove the bin folder and so we can't remove the website2 folder. We've been able to delete everything but the bin folder itself. We've tried downing the website and the application pool but we still get the 'access denied' error message.
I currently have a dedicated server running a number of sites, one of these sites I would like to add a subfolder to which runs a seperate index.html file, so effectively it looks like a different site.
I am struggling to acheive this, can anybody give me the steps involved to make this happen?
To clarify, i have a web address for example www.mydomain.com and would like users to browse to www.mydomain.com/subfolder and open up a sub folder.
I have a .net website that I've built but here's the catch - when it's deployed I don't know whether it will be deployed to the root of the site or to a sub folder of a larger site (and it needs to be able to move around between places)
And - here's the important bit - we will have zero access to IIS on the live server so this just has to run straight away.
So far I've managed to find work arounds for things like paths to resources but I now need to use a 3rd party component (.dll).
Normally this would go in the bin folder and, if I run my site in the root of the website it works fine but, as soon as we move the site to a sub folder, the reference to the 3rd party component wont work.
Now - I know normally you'd suggest creating a virtual directory under IIS but remember - I HAVE NO ACCESS TO IIS.
So - is there a way to still use 3rd party components in my project and have my project all run in a sub folder of a website?
And no - I can't move just the bin folder to the root of the site - it all has to sit within its own folder.
i am developing a multi language website,
in the App_GlobalResources folder i put the 3 folder for the language that contans .resx files. its works fine when i test it from visual studio.
i have VS2008 SP1 with .net frameword3.5 SP1
when i publish the project and configure it to IIS, i found this error.......

I have a folder in my project that contains files I do not want to process (they are only for reference) when I build the web site. These files produce errors because they reference things I do not have in my site. How can I exclude a folder so that it is not processed during a build?
How can I give my ASP.net website permission to see this folder on the server? C:PVSWin. The website is actually running on a virtual path D:WebSitesAdco.We are running IIS ver 6.The website uses a table from Pervasive to locate Vendors. The SqlDataSource works from the VS2008 IDE which is running on the server, but if a user logs into the website remotely they get this error:ERROR [IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 1114 (Pervasive ODBC Client Interface). This error generally indicates that the path to the DB components is not found, or is not available to the calling program, so I guess that the website does not have permissions.
View 5 RepliesWe store backup archives in subfolders of a folder on one of the server's external USB drive. I would like to have an ASP.NET app read the contents of this folder so the manager can view the backup files to confirm backups are working and optionally delete these backup files when an old drive is reconnected so it can be used for the next weeks backups.
This backup folder is oubviously outside the server's webroot. Is there some way I can grant authority so the ASP.Net app can access this folder for this purpose? I would be using VS Web Express, so can't create any signed packages and such.
I have a asp.net website in the IIS which is available on internet as www.xyz.com now I have been asked to prepare another website which will be accessed via www.xyz.com/abc.
For this, do I need to create a virtual directory under the website folder XYZ in IIS? or is there any other way to achieve this.
I am developing a web app which uses images. Because there are lots of images, I decided to store them in a location out of the web site, maybe they can reside in a different unit (g:Pictures for example, where g: is a drive that belongs to a disk array which is part of the web site infraestructure).
At the beginning, such pictures were saved in a folder within the web site project so it was easy to show them using the asp:image control's ImageURL property but now that they are outside, things get complicated.
My host moved my website to a new server. The DNS configuration is correct but the website is still down and I'm getting this message
"unable to open website at www.aboutmecfs.org. Internal Server error"
I want to make a 2nd website and am using a copy of the site files from my 1st site built for me, I added them via FTP to the hosting company. I realise when I edit the new site via the CMS it is editing both sites plus when I try to change anything to the CSS file I get the following error -
C:inetpubvhosts*****mysite******httpdocsapp_themessiteStyleSheet.css
So my questions are what do I need to change to be able to deploy a new site with the files I have to make a new site?I also don't understand where the password is coming from, I can see the User ID comes from the database. in the Asp.net connection strings are the following:
site Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;Initial Catalog=***;User ID=***;Password=*** - Where is this password coming from?
membership Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;User ID=***;Password=***;persist security info=False;initial catalog=***;
What is the differenc between Copy Web Site and Publish Web Site? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each method?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to run a website (site2) that I've placed inside a folder (dir-site2) of another website (site1). The default file of site2 displays fine in every browser on my local computer, as in when I type http://localhost:45912/www.site1.com/dir-site2/default.aspx. But when I upload everything to my host's server and type this
http://www.site1.com/dir-site2/default.aspx I get a server "can't access" error message. I can't display any file that is inside the subdirectory, dir-site2.
The oddity is, that the same website files, copied and pasted, connection string altered to point to the production/live db, published to the httpdocs folder works fine BUT the same web files, copied and pasted, connection string altered to poin to the dev db, published to the subdomains/dev fodler causes the error below:

I want to add a site map to my website however I am a little unsure as to its contents.
Basically I have a simple site with only 5 pages, the site uses a navigation bar which is generated from a master page and is therefore visible on every page.
This means every page is navigatable from very page. In addition some pages also link to the other pages through key words in the text.
So back to the site map.

I have website builded on asp.net platform, I want to give access to marketing people, so they can update website contents,
how some can edit contents of website, they are not programmer?
may be i am looking for editor for markting.
I work for a product manufacturer and we do not sell products directly to customers, distribution is through our dealer network. I'd like to provide our website visitors with a means to build a shopping cart and then pass the cart contents off to the dealer website of their choice.
The solution needs to be platform independent, even though I will be developing in ASP.net since our dealers' website platforms vary. I would assume most, if not all, do not have an existing API to interface with.
What do you think would be a good means of accomplishing this task?
I want to convert some contents of my website in some language I applied following procedure:
using System.Threading;
using System.Globalization;
public partial class Default2 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected override void InitializeCulture()
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("pa-IN");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new
CultureInfo("pa");
}
base.InitializeCulture();
}
I also add local resources and meta reference tag is appearing in source code of controls like label, textboxes on the page.
But desired language is not yet seen, it continues to appear in English Only.
