View 5 RepliesI'm developping an ASP.NET web applition which will be running on a intranet server. The web application will read and write data from / to an access mdb.
The link to this mdb is specified under the web.config file. However, in this web.config, the connection string points to a absolute path (for ex. c:information.mdb).
Is it possble to change this path after the web application is installed on the server (without having it to open in visual studio)? This is needed, because the application will be installed at other locations too, all pointing towards their own server and mdb (and this mdb file won't be always be on the c: drive).
I tried opening the web.config file with notepad, and changing it. Everything seems to work, but I'm not sure this method is good. Since I assumed you have to rebuild the application if you change somthing in the code...
I'm trying to programmatically encrypt the connectingstrings section of my web.config, using the below code, which I have gotten from here.

The problem is that nothing happens when I click encrypt.
This is my code.

And this is the web.config

Has I understand is the section should be encrypted, but it never happens.
I want to encrypt web.config connection string. But Getting Error
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Object already exists.
why is this happening. How to tackle with this problem.
Can I create an incremental deployment package using either Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects or Web Deploy (Web Deployment Tool) .
I need to automatically select changed files from a source and destination or a change set on TFS and build a deployment package only with the changed files.
How can I encrypt a web.config file? And how can I then decrypt it again?

Now how i encrypt only the Password ?
I'm trying to encrypt the connection strings in my web.config. I'm following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2w117ede.aspx
however when I get to the part with the command:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/MyApplication" -prov "MyProvider"
it keeps complaining:
"The configuration for the virtual path '/MyApplication' and site 'Default Web Site' cannot be opened
Failed to map the path '/myapplication'
Failed!
I'm fairly sure I've followed the instructions correctly. I created the project named 'MyApplication' directly in the 'C:' root.
Perhaps I should be following a different set of instructions?

This is the case where I need encryption for my password. I searched and googled much on the web but I can't be able to encrypt anymore.
I fully followed the steps in this page [URL]
look at the step 5 at "Using the Example Provider in an ASP.NET Application" element , I entered the command "
aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SessionState" -prov "TripleDESProvider"
" at the windows command line, it asked me "The protection provider 'TripleDESProvider' was not found"
I make sure the files keys.snk and keys.txt are in the same folder and the file web.config is correct. Who can tell me the reason for the error and how do I handle with it?

View 4 RepliesI am just starting my first MVC Web Application and have noticed that I now not only have a Web.config file in the root, but 2 sub-files, for Debug and Release configurations. I've read up a bit on what this is, in that I can put specific configurations for my different environments in each file, but I am confused as to when these seperate files are actually used.
Do I HAVE to use the built in Deployment/Publish tools within Visual Studio in order to benefit from this, or, if I set my build mode to Release, and do a simple build of my web application, then deploy the compiled files, along with the Web.config AND Web.Release.config, would that work?
I'm just not sure what deployment options I have to take advantage of these seperate config files?
I would like to encrypt the connectionstrings section in my web.config file using the : ASPNET_REGIIS utility However I'm running Windows 7 pro, that is without any IIS.
Is it possible for me to do it.
The path (on my local pc) to the website containing the web.config file is like this:

View 1 RepliesI'm all set on the server side with the RSA key pair installed. Where I'm hung up is trying to get the job done on the web.config file ... can't seem to get the aspnet_regiis command string right. I am using the command string provided by the web host (DiscountAsp.net). Most (all) of the examples I read use a website on the development machine. I actually registered my project in IIS and tried that but it didn't work. In any case I would rather not have to go to the hassle of registering a project in IIS anyway if I can avoid it.
Details:
My web application project is in a folder on my local machine:
D:Projects<project name>
This is most recent (failed) attempt to use aspnet_regiis:
C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" "D:Projects<project name>"
Is it possible to just do this manually by looking at the NetFrameworkConfigurationKey_xxxxx.xml file and entering the values? Seems like it should be do-able except I'm not sure how to parse the xml file for the correct values.
On a related note, when I add the following code to web.config it "announces" that "The keyContainerName attribute is not allowed". Ditto useMachineContainer

I have looked for ideas on this and read several posts but none of them seems to be because the problem is that web.com (my host) doesnt allow us to update web.config on their server programmatically. I can use example codes and encrypt them on my local pc but heres the error i get when I run them on the live site:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. (machine.config)

I am using WIX 3.6 for VS2010 to create our MSI's for our web application setups. This is all working fine and all in terms of deployment and uninstall.
I recently allowed the user to specify the virtual directory and application pool names to support side by side installs. This is all fine as I have created my own setup bootstrapper.
The issue is with uninstallation.
If the user does not specify the names and leaves the default values, it will install successfully.
The minute the user updates the names from the defaults, the install process will not remove the app-pool and virtual directory. This is what I have found consistently with my testing.
We are working on an asp.net project. There are 5 developers in the team. The team size might increase in future. Deployment of the project, often creates some problems for us. We are using svn (very much like vss) to update and commit our codes to a common location.Apart from all these, the changes made by one developer sometimes affects the changes made by another. We usually move only the aspx files and dlls to the server. This causes lots of issues to the testing team as the testers need to check the entire application whenever a dll is updated on the server. We are now looking for a deployment method, that includes both pre-compilation as well a means that enables us to do patch releases (like making a change to the aspx.cs alone without having to update the entire dll) If it is not possible, what is the best deployment method that would suit our requirements?
View 2 RepliesWhile developing my web application I was testing using the cassini web server and everything works great! So my program is complete and I am trying to publish it out to a client IIS server on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have created an app.pool for this application and set it to run with a domain admin users (I am not using the "Administrator" account) since the file processing will be writing the file to a NAS device via a UNC path. When I start the debugging on the server and look at task manager it shows that the "w3wp.exe" is running using the domain admin account, but when I run my code it does not give me a run time error I just get the following warning in the event log.
