I created a web setup project. When the users install it, the virtual directory gets created and all the files are created under "C:Inetpubwwwroot<myvirtualdirectory>".
How to customize the web setup project so that I can change the virtual directory physical path? I had followed the tutorial
[URL]
but it didn't work and my MSI stopped installing alltogether.
I made Web Setp Project for a web application, I need to change virtual directory property for the web application.
This virtual directory is linked to TARGETVDIR property which is disabled in the property grid.But I need to control it, I searched for this and I found that the only way is to use orca.exe and change msi using it.
Can I amke another solution to avoid making modification on nsi after build???
My basic question is, can a virtual directory in IIS point to a physical path that's not on the local machine? For instance, right now I have a virtual path /NaturalGasReport/NYMEX which points to physical path C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX, but I want it to point to a physical path on a difference PC on the same network. Is this possible? (I know I can just try it out so I apologize for asking but I thought it would be best to get an explanation along with "yes" or "no"). If you want more detail, this is what I need to do. To make a long story short, because of a vendor product we are using that won't run on a 64-bit operating system, I have to run a program called Generate_NGReportData.vbs (it's a vbscript program) on a PC I will call 28. It uses a vendor product which produces jpg files which are graphs of the Natural Gas market. The machine where I wish it could run is called RTEST01 but this machine runs a 64-bit OS and the components won't work there. RTEST01 has the databases. So, I created a datasource on 28 which points to RTEST01's database. The vbs program will read the data, generate the reports, and write one row to a database table on RTEST01. RTEST01 has to run the complimentary program which sends these reports (via email). 28 is not an email server so it can't email the reports. So on RTEST01 I will run Send_NaturalGasReport.vbs. This program creates an email body of html. The html references [URL]NaturalGasReport/NYMEX/" & Day(nymex_update_dt) & ".jpg which is a virtual directory pointing to C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX. I need it to point to the folder and files on 28.So if my initial question has a simple yes answer then I am all set. If not, examine my architecture and propose an alternative solution.

I am trying to convert the virtual path to a physical path but don't seem to have Server.MapPath or HttpServerUtility.MapPath available in my handler. I add the System.Web namespace with no luck.

View 1 RepliesI have a custom ASP.NET application that I utilize for several clients that I host. Each client has a separate domain and the application is normally a child application under the root domain [URL]. The application files are the same (aspx, ascx, style sheets, images, etc.). The only thing different is the web.config file for each client. As development of the application continues to evolve, I have to update the application for each directory and this obviously becoming tedious. I am trying to come up with a method keep the application up to date. My first though is placing the application into a single physical path and creating multiple applications pointing to that path (the problem with this method is I can't have different web.config files). I am curious as to what solution others are using in this scenario...
View 2 RepliesVia my .aspx pages users can upload photos to my server, and also delete them again.
The uploading works, so users can write new photos to the physical location.
But when trying to delete those photos I get:
Access to the path 'E:wwwrootimagesphotos6_315_P1010619.JPG' is denied.
I checked (via Windows Explorer) what the security properties for that folder are: IIS_IUSRS group has read and write access...
To start with then we have a LinkButton whose text is actually an image tag. The image it links to is a Png and resides in a folder in the web directory. This is IIS V6 and win Server 2003.
The path is [URL]
Admin is a virtual directory configured in IIS.
The above url doesn't work but if you change it to [URL] (lowers case 'a') then the image is served, change it back to 'A' and it takes you to login, you log in and it loops back to log in. change to 'a' and voila the image is served. Weirdly this problem doesn't always occur and I have hunted for a resolution for days to no avail.
As requested this is the complete link button
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkCommitAll" runat="server" CausesValidation="false"><asp:Image ID="imgCommitAll" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/Grid/confirm_16.png" AlternateText="Commit All Changes" /> Commit All</asp:LinkButton>

How to give absolute path, that working with virtual directory and localhost
/Image/Icon.jpg - it is working well with localhost
/Image/Icon.jpg - It is not working on Virtual directory
I want absolute path solution which is working on both virtual and localhost directory
I have a team currently working on a Web Application project, we want to be able to run the project through our local IIS web servers and let each dev map it to whatever virtual directory they like.Currently every time we check in we are stomping on each others virtual dir settings in th cs proj file.I know we could just agree on a virtual directory and stick with it but that does not solve another problem I am having with this where I actually keep multiple copies of the repository on my machine and want to be able to map each to a separate virtual directory.
So the result we are looking for would look like this:Dev1 has a checkout at say c:/dev/Webapp mapped to a virtual dir on their local IIS say localhost/WebAppThen Dev 2 has a checkout at say c:/workspace1/WebApp mapped to a virtual dir say localhost/workspace1/MyWebAppAND Dev 2 has a checkout at say c:/workspace2/WebApp mapped to a virtual dir say localhost/workspace2/WebAppPS. The reason Dev 2 has two checkout is because he uses on for active dev work and the other for merging between branches.

Can I change the applicaiton virtual path at the runtime
View 1 RepliesFirst of all, I am trying to deploy a web application, without virtual directory. Yes...I have no other option but to try this due to some non-tehnical constraints.
Now, I have developed an ASP.NET 3.5 Web application, which works fine on my local ASP.NET Development Web Server. Then, I published the application to the actual webserver using the VS2008 Publish... option. When I got some error messages related to web.config, I removed the corresponding items from the web.config.
When I can access the page but the code inside the page doesn't really work. When I open the Default.aspx, which is directly under the website, I keep on getting this error:

This DynamicLoadControl is a class that I have developed and is present in App_CodeDynamicLoadControl.cs file (in the same namespace).
