I want to know if there is a way to set up the default document or default web page from the setup project of a web page.What I mean is that I would like my web app installer to set the default page (i.e: DefaultPage.aspx) when installing the web application. I remember I could do this in previous versions of the asp.net platform, currently I am working in ASP.NET 3.5 (Visual Studio 2008).

View 2 Repliesis it possible to create a Setup project within Visual Studio that will allow the generated installer to allow for the user to install the application multiple times? I would imagine there would be changes needed for checking if the destination folder already has an installation there but what about removing the "already exist" detection or how to change the Add/Remove Programs to show nothing at all or each individual instance of the installation.

I created the simplest MVC project with Visual Studio 10, and it works fine on the VS Development Server, but won't run using IIS on the same computer under IIS (Windows Server 2008 R2 with ASP.NET 4.0.30319).
My steps were:
File / New / Project ...Visual C# / Web / ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application... and kept the default name: MvcApplication1
Clicked Debug to build and run ... the default page appears fine at http://localhost:49175 ...
Then I closed that browser and clicked on MvcApplication1 / Properties / Web and selected "Use Local IIS Web server"Clicked "Create" to create the virtual directory at http://localhost/MvcApplication1
Clicked Debug again... and got HTTP Error 403.14 (Web Server configured to not list directory)
It seems that IIS cannot find a Default document. If I add a document to the virtual directory (C:inetpubwwwrootMvcApplication1) with one of the default doc names, that document will display OK.
Why can ASP.NET find the default document (Views/Home/Index.aspx) when running from the VS Development Server, but not when running from IIS??
I have tried running "aspnet_regiis -i", but still find that C:inetpubwwwrootaspnet_clientsystem_web4_0_30319 is an empty folder. Should there be something here?I have tried giving all sorts of permissions to the virtual directory folder (C:inetpubwwwrootMvcApplication1) but without any success.
I have problem with default.aspx setting in global.asax file.When i am running dot net application from solution explorer i can set the default page as start page or when i am running the application the on IIS server i can set that default page as start page through the setting.This thing i want to do in programmatic way using the global.asax file
View 1 RepliesIn 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 am trying to secure very mixed content that is located in an ASP.NET directory. For purposes of this question, it can be ~/MyApp/.
I want all of the content in the directory and its subdirectories restricted to authenticated users. The default.aspx page, though, should be accessible to everyone. This is the web.config in that directory:
[Code]....
Now if you are an unauthenticated user, everything works fine if you request [code]....
The problem occurs in that visitors do not always request "Default.aspx". We have a default document configured so that they get Default.aspx even if they just request "/MyApp". An authenticated user works fine, but an unauthenticated user is directed to the login page.
Now I know that essentially this happens because even though the request for "/MyApp/" will actually end up serving up "/MyApp/Default.aspx", the security system is only checking for "/MyApp/" since that is what I requested. That is then getting the default security for the directory.
How can you configure an exception to allow access when no particular file is requested in the directory??
Is there some dependency between DefaultDocumentModule and UrlAuthorizationModule? In this environment, the UrlAuthorizationModule has been removed and re-added in order to make sure it fires for non-managed requests. I would not expect that to change the order of execution, though, since UrlAuthorizationModule usually goes after DefaultDocument.
A workaround could be to set up the opposite security with the directory being open, and then trying to secure individual files. Because of the (changing) number of files, and extensions, etc, and the fact that you cannot use wildcards in a <location>, this is not really a workable solution for me.
I have a web setup package project alongside an old .asmx web service. When I build it I only get 'MyService.msi' and not the 'Setup.exe' in the 'Release' folder after build. Normally the .msi suffices for installation, but on Windows Server 2008 R2 I am getting denied from installing the .msi pacakge. I can only install .exe packages after right clicking and stating "Install as Administrator".
The server admin is still new to 2008 R2 and not sure why I can't install an .msi because I am an admin, so for now if I knew how to get that web setup package to generate the Setup.exe file as well I see my other VS.NET setup packages create.

I'd like to implement a ADO.NET/WCF DataService and I am wondering what's the best way to setup a project in VS2008 SP1 for this purpose.
Currently I have an ASP.NET web application project (not of "WebSite" project type). The data access layer is an Entity model (EF version 1) with SQL Server database. I have the Entity Model in a separate DLL project and the web application project references to this assembly for all data accesses.
The ADO.NET/WCF DataService needs to communicate with the Entity model/database as well. It has to be hosted on the same web server (IIS 7.5) together with the web application.
Since the DataService is not directly related to that specific web application (though it will provide and modify data from/in the same database the web application uses as well) my basic idea was to separate the DataService in its own new project (which also references the Entity Model DLL).
Now I have seen that there is no project type "ADO.NET/WCF DataService" in VS2008 SP1. It seems only possible to add a DataService as an element to other existing projects, for instance Web Application projects.
Why isn't there a separate DataService project type? Does this mean now that I have to add the DataService as an element to my Web Application project? Or shall I create a new Web Application project and add a DataService to it? (I could delete the pregenerated default.aspx since I do not need any web pages in this project.)
We are using membership and roles.. is there anyway to setup a user that cannot be deleted? We need to setup a default admin account and dont want it displayed in list of user to modify, or if it has to be displayed, it cant be deleted or edited thru the pages that is, if they need to, they can do it thru the website admin section to manage it.
