when I reference a assembly. It's reference gets added to the project file in my case ( ABC.csproj)
Also when I take a look at the web.config file there is a section called <assemblies>. And lot of assemblies are added there.
What is the difference between link to the assemblies in the Project file and the assemblies in the web.config file?
I'm looking at an asp.net application, i notice that there are assemblies defined into two places. In web.config there is configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies/add elements. In the project file there are references setup under the Project/ItemGroup/Reference elements.
I was wondering, what is the difference between assemblies/references added in either location?
In the web.config of my site 'MySite.com' I have some assemblies such as
<add assembly="aspNetEmail, Version=3.5.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=BC571E8DA1C1F543"/>
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...

How do I engineer failover logic properly if an Assembly (.dll) cannot find a web.config file?
Background: I've got our website code nicely modularized into two different .dlls. For simplicity's sake, let's call them:
website.dll
commonengine.dll
The website code and .aspx / .ascx files calls upon the commonengine library for all data layer stuff. For connection strings, the commonengine in turn looks not to the app.config but to the website's web.config file (that's my own preference -- I prefer to have our production constants all in one place). The website code occasionally (very rarely) needs to access stuff in that web.config file. All good so far (even though not entirely pure).
Here's the trouble. I've written a third module. It's a Windows Service (specifically, it's a POP3 checker/processor -- processing mailbox requests and using the commonengine.dll for some data layer stuff). The problem is the Windows Service calls upon the commonengine.dll, and the commonengine.dll cannot find web.config anywhere because, after all, it's a Windows service (.exe) and doesn't live in a website directory.
What's the proper test/logic here to use app.config when a web.config file cannot be found?
is it possible to make a single assembly for whole WebSite in Visual Studio 2010?
With Web Deployment Project i can do this in VS2008, but it is not compatible with new version.
I get that assemblies store data about an application, and its components. I am still clouded about several vital functions of this very basic concept and cannot for the life of me find a complete all inclusive reference or explanation of this topic. Exactly how far reaching is this within c#.net development? Where is it stored? How is it stored? Exactly what, in it's entirety is in it and how is it used and when? Please, please do me a huge favor. Do not send me on a wild goose chase to some self serving, obscure site with partial explanations that wastes my time. By the time I'm done studying the information within your referenced site or response, I want all of my questions answered.
View 1 RepliesCan anyone tell me what does the term Output Assemblies designate to. Are these the compiled pages of the Website Project or something else ?
View 2 RepliesI have added few assemblies of microsoft through:-
right click on project name->add reference->com tab
Its get added and are shown in web config like:-
<compilation debug="true">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="Microsoft.....">
</assemblies>
</compilation>
Whatever I want to do using all this, its Working fine locally..
BUT when I upload it, this web config file shows error and doesnt proceed at all and my website goes down.
I'm trying to deploy a website stored on a network shared storage. My problem is that I am unable to load assemblies that reside on the remote machine.I load some assemblies by using
assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(Uri.UnescapeDataString(new UriBuilder(satelliteExpectedLocation).Path))
where the satelliteExpectedLocation is in the form "file:\10.0.0.85 mpappinMessages.resources.dll".
I got a FormatException on this one, so I modified the path to read "file:////\10.0.0.85\tmp\app\bin\Messages.resources.dll"
Now I get a "System.IO.FileNotFoundException".I read on MSDN that the "File" scheme is to be used for resources on the local machine. But how should I get the resources on the network share?
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).
ok i have a file link not in the vs 2010 project .basically i have a list page in which i want to show the files, one file each for different organization. how can i make a link to that xml file which exists outside the project

I have built an ASP.NET (.NET v4) application in VS 2010. It is working just fine. But when I try to create deployment package (so I can deploy it in our test IIS 7.5 Server), it gives me error like this,
Error 1 Could not open Source file: Could not find file 'C:11-2 estobjDebugCSAutoParameterize ransformedWeb.config'. 0 0 test
Thing is in past, I had deployed the SAME application using the SAME method.
I just need to ask something about .net assemblies. I'm sorry if this question may not be appropriate for this forum but it is very urgent and very important for me to answer so if any kind person can answer in simple and in detail about 'What are assemblies?' I googled about this but I got only one line definition for assemblies rest is only about private ,shared, manifest etc. etc. but I need to know what are assemblies.
View 8 RepliesI have an ASP.NET MVC 2 app targeting .NET 4 that needs to be able to resize images on the fly and write them to the response.I have code that does this and it works. I am using System.Drawing.dll.However, I want to enhance my code so that not only am I resizing the image, but I am dropping it from 24bpp down to 4bit grayscale. I could not, for the life of me, find code on how to do this with System.Drawing.dll.But I did find a bunch of WPF stuff. This is my working/sample code (runs in LinqPad).
// Load the original 24 bit image
var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();

In 2005 you need to add a new registry setting in order to see it in the Add Ref dialog box.
BUT
can you add a reference an assemble that are in the GAC in the web.config file?
I have an .net assembly build against 3.5 framework. This assembly has a class Foo with two method overrides:
public class Foo {
public T Set<T>(T value);
public T Set<T>(Func<T> getValueFunc);
}
I'm referencing this assembly in my asp.net 2.0 web application to use first override of the Set method (without Func).
But on build I get an error saying that I should reference System.Core to use System.Func delegate... but I'm not using this type...
Is there a workaround to solve this?
PS: There is no option to convert my web application targeting 3.5 framework.
I need to look for specific types in all assemblies in a web site or windows app, is there an easy way to do this? Like how the controller factory for ASP.NET MVC looks across all assemblies for controllers.
View 3 RepliesWhat are the libraries, beside System.Web.Mvc, I need to run a MVC 3 RC2 application having the libraries in Bin Folder and not installing MVC 3 RC2?I am using JQuery and not Microsoft Ajax.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to write some code to use reflection to load new assemblies. I observed the file system with FileSystemWatcher, so that if anything in the folder changed, I can get notified and then reload them.
Firstly I have an assembly filters.dll loaded. Let's say its version is 1.0.0. Then when I have a new one v1.0.1, I paste it into the folder and replace the older one. Of course this fires "Change" event of FileSystemWatcher, and finally lead to assembly reloading.
Everything works fine, but I just want to know, what would happen to the firstly loaded assembly? Get replaced by the newer one? Or still somewhere in the memory?
we have an asp.net web site (web application project of vs 2005) where we have a main project and same secondary projects which contain same apsx/ascx used by the main project.
for example in an aspx page of the main site we will use same ascx defined in another project)
at least with vs 2005 we must do a lot of hack to make it works becouse it's not possible to directly reference another web application to use aspx/ascx defined there.
i want know if upgrading to vs 2010 and mvc can help us to a better organization of this type of architecture (the best things will be if i can add a view as embedded resource of a project and i can use it by another project, as the server control of asp.net form)
In my web application I am using NHibernate.dll. This has a dependency on folowing assembly.
'Antlr3.Runtime, Version=3.1.0.39271,
Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=3a9cab8f8d22bfb7'
Now in the same project for another requirement I have to introduce Antlr3.StringTemplate.dll. Which has a dependency on another version of the above assembly.
If I use the version of Antlr3.Runtime.dll which satisfies NHibernate , Antlr3.StringTemplate starts complaining and vice-versa.
I have a collection of assemblies using reflection. I want to loop through them, but I would like to ignore the .NET framework or ASP.NET framework DLL's. Is there an attribute on the assembly that marks that its from the .NET framework? Or any other designation?
I was looking at the name, and if the name of the assembly starts with System, Microsoft, or mscorlib, I am ignoring it. But I was wondering if there is a flag I can use to make this even easier?
When looking at ASP.NET MVC 3 and WebPages (the 'simple' web application framework used by WebMatrix) I noticed that these frameworks take a dependency on assemblies and/or namespaces that do not fit the familiar naming style for ASP.NET:
- Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
- WebMatrix.Data
- WebMatrix.WebData
- Microsoft.Web.Helpers
Most if not all assemblies/namespaces up until and including ASP.NET 4 and ASP.NET MVC 2 are called *System.Web.** Why did they do it? Is this 'a trap' or is that too cynical? Some context (from the [Mono 2.10 Release Notes][1]):
