I have a web application(ASP.NET 2.0 and C#) in which I have configured connection string in web.config.
I may need to install it in different machines. So, time to time i may need to change the connection string based on the installed machine.
Is there any way to configure all these while installing the application?
In the past I deployed my apps using IIS running on IE6 and VS2008. When deploying using IIS a port number was attached to the localhost something like: [URL] then after deployment the website could be accessed from any other machine using the url. Recently VS2008, IIS and IE8 was installed. But now when I use IIS to deploy the app no port number is attached to the localhost which means that the app cannot be accessed
by another machine.
This is because of the default setting being installed. There is a way to go into properties and change the default settings to make IIS deploy the app with the port number. How you change the default setting to make IIS deploy the app with the port number attached again so the app can be accessed by another machine using the apps url?
I just recently installed VS 2008 on my workstation. I tried creating a simple web site just to check if the installation was fine. The project compiled without error but when I tried running it, the Macromedia Dreamweaver software is being launch. It tried it several time and it's all the same.I remember during the installation there was an option that was displayed asking me to select Designer or Coder. Since the default is Designer i just click next.
Is there a way to stop launching dreamweaver from VS 2008 every time i try running the web project? Is because I selected "Designer" during the installation?

When I create a new website in IIS and its associated application pool, I get the option of setting the .NET framework to 1.0 or 2.0.Via windows updates I have installed versions 3.0 and 3.5..however these dont show up in the drop down list.I read that the aspnet_regiis -i command needs to be run in the installed .NET framework folder for it to be visible in IIS.However, the aspnet_regiis.exe is only present in the 1.0 and 2.0 folders. Can I use the same exe to register the 3.5 framework with IIS?

View 2 RepliesWe need to get MVC 2.0 installed on multiple servers. When we use the exe file AspNetMVC2_VS2008.exe to install MVC 2.0 it checks for prereqs. One of the prereqs ins VS 2008 SP1.
Now when we use the MSI file AspNetMVC2.msi to do the installation, MVC 2.0 is installed without complaining about VS 2008 SP1.
The exe file checks for prereqs, while the msi doesn't.
My questions is, do we really need VS 2008 SP1 installed along side MVC 2.0? If so why?
i created .msi package.while installing it is dispalying "installer interrupted before installing". i am using windows xp. before it was working in iis.

I have installed Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition along with SQL Server Express 2008 on Windows Vista and Windows 7. On Windows Vista, when I click the "ASP.Net Configuration" icon in the Solution Explorer and then click on the "Security" link, a new ASPNETDB.MDF file is created in the App_Data folder of any new project I have open. The same actions on my "Windows 7 Ultimate" machine will result in a message along the lines of "Your Data Source is not configured properly. This may be because the server has an invalid name or you do not have the proper credentials or you do not have the proper permissions"(not at Windows 7 machine right now so this isn't verbatim)
View 4 RepliesUntil last week it was going smoothly. Now when I make changes to any of the forms it still shows up fine when I hit F5 to run it, but when I install it on the server none of the changes show up. I have uninstalled the site and reinstalled it but the result is the same.
I am using VSTS 2008 and I have tried building this on two machines with the same result. The solution contains a web deployment project and a setup project. Both of which were working fine early last week. This isn't a configuration specific issue because it happens on both. I get no error messages.
I'm a long time PHP/MySQL developer.I've always used shared hosting with Apache.I'm used to using a control panel, setting up my ".htaccess", configuring my databases and I begin building websites.I have a major project I need to get started on that has to be built using ASP.NET. It also is going to require, at the very least, a virtual dedicated server for hosting. I have some minor expience with IIS 5.0, I have written basic programs in Visual Basic 6, and I have some experience programming in C++.I have no reason to learn older versions, so I am looking to learn on whatever is the newest version of IIS, Visual Web Developer, and anything else that is required.With my background, what would be the best way to approach this?
So far,I am looking at GoDaddy for Virtual Dedicated hosting, but if I pick them or somebody else, what next?Do I login and install the Visual Web Developer package or will it already be installed?Is the VWD package just for development and is there different software on the server?Will I need to install IIS or will it be installed? Should I learn IIS first or go through the tutorials for VWD?
i finally got vwd to work as an admin(windows 7) but now i get the error screen below:
Where can i find these, i went to add/remove programs, windows features, and there is only one box checked for ii6, no other options, no "Windows Authentication". Can I get these items somewhere else? I didn't see them on iis web site either.
am using a windows service created by me it works fine in debug mode.I have created a setup for installation of windows service and installed it on the same machine.For testing i am creating a notepad file in c:\temp123.txtIts working gr8 in debug mode but not working when installed using a set up . also i have used same set up on another machine.Its not working thr as well.What can be the reason.Note:- two weeks back i have checked it using installer on another machine it was working, but suddenly now its not working any where.
View 10 RepliesThis may be a silly question but here goes.
I just installed Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox on my machine that runs VS 2008. Prior to this, IE was the browser used whenever I would run a project to test. Now it is executing Chrome, even though I said it's not the default browser.
Does anyone know how to change this setting in VS 2008 or wherever else it may be required?

steps or web links so i can start configuring it..
I've got 2 web servers locally having windows 2003 installed.
I am a PHP developer trying to set up hosting for an ASP website. The site works when hosted with the original host but I need to move it.
I have uploaded the files to oneandone hosting. I have set up a datebase and chnaged the database connection details but get the following error
Inner Exception Could not find stored procedure 'uspPageHit'.
The database connection looks like this:
<add name="site" connectionString="Data Source=[hostname];Initial Catalog=[databasename];User Id=[username];Password=[password]" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
and the info on the one andone host panel provides :
database name, user name, hostname, password
Have I put the correct details in the correct place?
