It is possible to create a Visual Studio Web Setup Project that deploy my files outside wwwroot folder and set IIS virtual directory to this folder?
View 1 RepliesWhen I open up a web application project, VS attemps to configure IIS to open the project. This is fine, but typically there is already an application in that place. For example, we have apps that run at the root, and various feature branches would map to the same virtual application. Even though VS can *create* the application, it won't modify an existing one.
For example, lets say IIS has:
/MyApp
During my day I mightwant to work on MyApp from:
c:ranchesfeature1MyApp
c:ranchesfeature2MyApp
c:archive
elease102MyApp
c:production
elease204MyApp
If I delete /MyApp, then VS will create it when I open any of these projects, but it will never modify /MyApp to point to my current project. So first thing is: Is there any way to change this behavior?
Second question is, is there no way to open a web application project w/o having a properly backed IIS application setup? I know you can have the projects run off the casini webserver, but all of our applications target IIS and rely on inherited web.config settings. /MyApp is expecting to find config values that exist at /Web.Config and a login page for the entire system at /Login.aspx. Trying to run /MyApp in casini fails immediately because of these dependencies.
But what if I am just doing a code review. I don't care to browse the site, I just want to open the project. Is there no way to tell VS to just open the project and ignore the fact that IIS isn't setup right?
Is it possible to debug a Web Setup Project, specifically its custom action code, by setting breakpoints and walking through the code? How does one do this?
View 2 RepliesIn the Setup Project I have 2 web.config files: web.config - used during the development and web_dist.config - the one that should be included into Setup Project. I must be sure the the Setup project will NOT include the web.config and will always include web_dist.config.
In the File System -> Web Application Folder I have added the Content Files from the project.
Also included the web_dist.config and mapped it to the web.config.
But this gives the warning:
WARNING: Two or more objects have the same target location ('[targetdir]web.config') And the actual config file included is web.config and not web_dist.config. What would be the best option to include the web_dist.config (and named as web.config in the setup)?
I am using VS2010. When I am building a release for a WinForms Applicaiton, I can see some .xml files relevant to project in the bin elease folder. The .dll (third party component) has been referenced in the References folder of the project for eg. Rebex.Net.Ftp and in the properties window the Source Path is
C:Program FilesRebexFile Transfer Pack for .NET 4.0FTP SSL for .NET 4.0inRebex.Net.Ftp.dll In the above mentioned source path directory there is an Rebex.Net.Ftp.xml which gets pulled across to the release folder as well. I couldn't really get my head around where this can be referenced so that it puts this .xml file in the release folder of the project when I do a build?
My main problem is, when I created a setup project for this application, I can't get this file included in the installation pack (after installing the .msi file). I get the Rebex.Net.Ftp.dll but not Rebex.Net.Ftp.xml file. I tried all the options in the Project Output except including the "Source files" which I dont want to. how to include the .xml files in the setup installation pack, ie., if there are properties I am forgetting to set or something like that?

My Question is, i want to load the VS solution with minimal files, .NET Stuff only (Master pages, UserControls, Js etc). Is there any way to unpin a complete folder? I can not see any option to pin unpin folder in VS 2010 or VS 2008
I have created 2 projects in a solution. One project contains Asp.net classes with login page and different other pages.
Another project contains a web service.
When I launch the solution(click F6 in visual studio 2008) the login page can access to the method of the webservice. Both projects are launched.
However when i added this 2 projects into IIS and deploy them (with create command) the login page cannot contact the method of the web service. Even though the web service is running because i can acces it manually. But they cannot communicate each other.
According to this website, I can go to Visual Studio 2005 Web Deployment Projects, and download the add-in, but I am not finding what I need. I have searched other sites for the add-in as well, but with no luck. where I can download the add-in?
If not, can someone provide documentation on how to properly deploy an ASP Web application? I have tried on my own, but I am apparently doing something incorrectly or incompletely, as I have several different problems with my current deployment. So I am looking to start over with the help of this add-in or by following more detailed documentation.
I am using visual studio 2005 (and team explorer 2005) with tfs 2008. I have installed both Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and VS80sp1-KB932544-X86-ENU.exe.
I perform the following steps:
Select Project->ASP.NET Configuration within Visual Studio 2005. Within Visual Studio 2005, attempt to perform either a check-in or a checkout.
The following happens:
The local server started by Visual Studio starts closing itself. I suspect it is crashing; the systray icons are not properly disposed of. It then reopens itself. It does this over and over again, maybe once every second or two. The TFS progress meter doesn't even budge, it just sits there. Canceling out of the checkout does not work; it says it is cancelling and does nothing.
So I have visual studio solution, it contains several projects, It was done by other. one of them is asp.net web application. others are data access and business logic C# projects.
When I open solution and want to view web pages from asp.net web application I get error
Server Error in '/WebApp' Application.
HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.
Version Information: ASP.NET Development Server 9.0.0.0
I tried to change startup options including startup page and so on but it doesn't show any page...
Authorization is forms...
I also tried to change paths in web config
I am trying to add a new database via the App_Data Folder and I receive an error described below.When I attempt to add ANY TYPE OF SQL SERVER DATABASE through the App_Data folder I receive this error "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2008 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download
from the URl."
I can create a db via SQL Server Mgmt Studio, it connects fine, and I can see tables.
Visual Studio- Server Explorer connects fine to the Database, I can see the tables.
Im running XP SP3 w/ Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer. I had previously removed SQL Server Express.
Why cant I access the database within my project, when Im able to connect to this fine within Visual Studio Server Explorer?
