Configuration :: Web.config Not Getting Updated To Reflect 4.0 Conversion?
Dec 6, 2010
I am converting a web application from 3.5 platform (asp.net 2.0) to 4.0 platform through VS2010. the wizard prompt for converting the application to APS.NET 4.0 from 2.0 and I answered 'Yes'. The conversion ends, but the web.config file does not reflect the changes that are supposed to be automatically applied by the conversion wizard. There are no child applications within this web app.
I have an asp.net website that works perfectly when run in vs2008 on my local machine and as well as when hosted on my local IIS.
The same site has been deployed on to test server a few days ago and none of the updates made since then to the test site get reflected.
I verified the source code of the test site to be the latest version. However, the content displayed by the test site is quite older.
I thought this could be a IIS recompilation/rebuild issue but the webpages show the same old content even when I created a completely new test site using the latest copy from repository. Specifically, the CSS I have added doesn't seem to be applied.
Also, any changes made directly to the test site's source code doesn't get reflected in the browser even after I refreshed it several times.
I have an application that runs perfectly fine on my local machine. So it was deployed on production server and the site was running (but with some errors). So I corrected the errors and redeployed the application. But the changes are not reflecting! I am using the IIS to host the same. I tried restarting all the services, the IIS itself, the server, cleared the caches...
I've converted an old school website project to a web application project. I've always registered all of my user controls in the web configs for easier maintainability. After converting the project type. None of my user controls registered in my web config are recognized any longer. In the designer files, it looks like it's unable to resolve the actual control and it's defaulting to some <namespace>.<ControlName> that is totally wrong. I really don't want to have to go through and put Register tags in each page where a control is used. In my web config i'm registering my control as follows:

I'm using Visual Studio 2010. I've seen several article around the internet that allude to an issue back in VS2005. Scott Gu commented on several. I haven't seen anything specifically referring to issue in 2010. Has anyone else encountered this type of issue. I provided a really brief overview and i would be happy to go into more detail
in MyWeb there are all the aspx page and some entites datamodel, in MyApp there are the class with function like "getter data from DB" and there is a entity data model.
afeter the deploy, I have only the web.config and the connection string for the entity datamodel....itīs run ok, read/write the data on the DB.
The problem is with MyApp.....after the deploy it is a dll file and I donīt have the app.config and the entity inside it donīt run, not read/write nothing on the DB.
There arenīt error or messager but not read/write the data in the MyApp project.
all run on the iis 7
now...the question is:
I lose the connection string (in app.config) after the deploy?
Can I put a entity in the MyWeb and read it in another project (myApp)?
I am developing web applicaiton. I want to read web.config in App.config file. I have appSettings and connectionStrings in web.config. How to read that?
I would like to add code in a program that determines when a website was last updated. Ideally you would give the code a URL of a website and it would return a DateTime that the website was last updated.Is there a way to do this using.NET.
While using a third party dll I was getting the following exception - "exePath must be specified when not running inside a stand alone exe" with following trace
The reason I found was that it was looking for app.config and I had provided the details in web.config. My question is why does the system.configuration differentiate between web.config and app.config.
I upgrade my application from .NET 2.0 to .NET 4.0. Everything went smooth, with very few errors. Now the code is compiling fine, but run time environment is loading the configuration parameters from app.config instead of web.config;Here is my setup:Objects project: has app.configUI project: has web.config, When I run this site, it is fetching the configuration parameters from app.config. Any idea if I need to make any changes to read it from web.config instead of app.config? It used to work fine in my previous environment.
I built my ASP.NET website using vs2008 professional.
Now I have purchased vs2010 professional edition.
I do format my computer and then installed vs2010.
Now I want to deploy my website in vs2010, but it is giving configuration error in <add assemblies...

We have an ASP.NET web application and it's hosted using IIS 6.0, in the app we have these several javascript and css files located in a folder, and for performance sake (according to YSlow) we set the folder content expiration header to 1 year. Everything worked just fine until recently when we deployed the latest build to the server, in which we had made some changes to those javascript and css files. For some reason after the deployment some of our end users don't see the latest changes when they connected to the app, even after they cleared the cache in IE. We have also restarted the IIS on the server and the problem still remained. When I went into the IE Temporary Internet Files folder on one of these machines I saw the files were still the older version and not the latest one, I had to manually delete the files from the Temporary Internet Files folder then they were able to see the latest changes. I'm baffled by this, how come only some users who couldn't see the changes but some others do (without having to do anything by the way), and how do I make sure that for future releases we won't have to do anything like what did (manually deleting the cached files)? For now I disabled the Content Expiration option in IIS for these files but I would like to know if there is a way that I can enable the content expiration (to help performance) but at the same time making sure when the files are updated, the latest version will be used for the end user (instead of the cached version)?
Web.config is the main settings and configuration file for an ASP.NET web application. The file is an XML document that defines configuration information regarding the web application. The web.config file contains information that control module loading, security configuration, session state configuration, and application language and compilation settings. Web.config files can also contain application specific items such as database connection strings
Example 1:
<!-- This is an example Web.config file -->
[Code]....
In this article, we will see how to read the configuration settings in the web.config using 'JavaScript'.
Step 1: Create a new ASP.NET website. Add a button control to the Default.aspx.
Step 2: Right click the project > Add New Item > Web Configuration File
Add the following sample entry to the appSettings section in the web.config between the <configuration> tag as shown in the example 1:
<add key="var1" value="SomeValue"/>
Step 3: To read these entries using JavaScript, add the following script in the <head> tag of your Default.aspx page as shown below:
<head runat="server"> <title></title> <script type="text/javascript"> function ReadConfigSettings() { var v1 = '<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["var1"].ToString() %>' alert(v1); } </script> </head> Step 4: Call this function on a button click and display the values of the configuration settings
<input type="button" value="Get" onclick="ReadConfigSettings();" /> That's it. Run the application and click the button. The value of the key in the appSettings will be displayed in the alert window. I hope you liked this short article.
I keep getting the all-too-familiar Report Viewer Configuration error, even after double-checking changes in web.config.It worked fine yesterday morning. Then by late afternoon, after I uploaded some site changes, it reverted to throwing the error.Report Viewer Configuration Error The Report Viewer Web Control HTTP Handler has not been registered in the application's web.config file. Add <add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type = "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0
aspnet_regiis.exe -pdf "connectionStrings" c:web.config And this is the error I got. Error - "The configuration for physical path 'C:Web.Config' cannot be opened. And the permissions of that file is not read only.
I'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).
I have published a website on my windows server using IIS 7.0 and visual studio 2010. Its an asp.net project.While publishing it I chose the option
"Allow this precompiled site to be updatable"
But what I do not know is how to update it when I change my templates/pages/IP address etc in my visual studio project files? I have to remove the corresponding App from IIS and then re-add it whenever I make changes.

I've been searching around on a way to use the new features of web deployment in VS2010, namely the transformations for config files, but everything I reference just says "right-click on web.config and add config transforms".Is it possible to do config transforms (and get all of the other publish goodness) in a 3.5 ASP.Net MVC project in VS2010? Is it just an msbuild file?
