Creating A Custom Isntall Package For A Web Application?
Mar 26, 2010
'm in need to create a custom installation package that I can distribute to my clients, where the installation of ASP.NET web applicationwould be as automated as possible. To do this I'm looking for custom install that has the following capability:- Copy and deploy files to desired location- Create a virtual application on the IIS- Connect to the SQL server and create the SQL database.- Ability to enter custom data such as the license key
I Created msi installer for my web application with the help of the following link. [URL] But when I insall application using this installer into my IIS under root dicrectory I can see my .cs files also. How to remove these .cs files from msi installer. ( I am using VS2005).
I have a jar file exporting some functions which i want to use in my asp.net application. How can i achieve this? Will anything change if i use it in an windows azure application?
I have been trying to install VS 2008 profesional in my computer, I am getting this error "Package Visual Web Developer HTML source editor package has failed to loas properly GUID = BFCC0C3C-6F87-4285-A6C8-BB1606180OD Please contact package vendor for assistance, application restart is recomended , due to possible environment corruption.
i am having a problem in executing the SSIS package through an asp.net application. i'm using c#. every time i run the package through web, i think the package is not disposed properly so until and unless i stop the application the package won't execute...i am not able to dispose or unload the package. i'm geeting errors like
'WebDev.WebServer.EXE' (Managed): Loaded 'C:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_32CustomMarshalers2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3aCustomMarshalers.dll', Skipped loading symbols. Module is optimized and the debugger option 'Just My Code' is enabled. The result of the expression ""EXEC " + @[User::vRowData]" on property "SqlStatementSource" cannot be written to the property.
The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property. : Package Execution results: {0}
I'm looking for any and all information on how to execute an SSIS package from my asp.net web site. I have written the call and when I run the application from (Localhost) it works, but when I run it from the server it does not.
Here is my code to call and execute the package:
[Code]....
Again this works from my local machine running from localhost, but not from our live server. I have turned on impersination to see if that worked and still getting the same result. The file is written successfully to the server without issue, but I'm just lost.
I am creating a custom control by inheriting a server control, say LinkButton. There are properties like "BorderColor" available in LinkButton. Let's say, I don't want this particular property to be available when I create an instance of the custom control.
I want to completely hide this particular property (I don't want to override it but disable it.)
I've created a deployment package in visualStudio, the package is generated, but it has an awfull structure, which is basically, the path where I've my project(e.g "CONTENT/D_C/WorkSpace/MyCustomer/TheProjectName/TheDevelopmentBranchFolder/TheCurrentBranch/TheWebApplicationName/obj/Release/Package/PackageTmp/TheSiteIsFinallyHere!!!"
It's problematic, because with the web deployer of IIS, it recreate this path.
So how can I avoid the "D_C/WorkSpace/MyCustomer/TheProjectName/TheDevelopmentBranchFolder/TheCurrentBranch/TheWebApplicationName/obj/Release/Package/PackageTmp" part in visual studio?
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.
Currently, on our production IIS web farm, we host about 15 applications in a single App Pool (Default App Pool). There are two websites and about 13 virtual directories.A colleague has recommended that we change our IIS configuration so each application is a separate App Pool (with identical settings).
Is there any drawback or potential issues to doing this?Is it possible that ASP.NET applications could have been built with the requirements that they are all within the same App Pool?
I am woking on a MVC project which require me to put all controllers, models and views into a folder called Mvc instead of the project root, I created a custom viewengine, here is the code:
[Code]....
My Application_Start:
[Code]....
It does not work, when I request [URL], I got: The view 'Index' or its master could not be found. The following locations were searched:
I have an existing web application that uses EF and POCO objects. I want to improve the client experience by exposing some of my objects through WCF(JSON). I have this working fine but where I am unsure is how to handle derived objects(not sure if that is the correct term) or IEnumerable anonymous objects if you will.
Let's say I have 3 tables structured like so:
Templates
ID Template
Groups
ID Group
Instances
ID TemplateID GroupID
This is obviously a one-to-many type relationship. I have my navigation properties setup correctly and getting strongly typed object properties works great. However, how do I send serialized anonymous type object(s) over the wire. Like an object that sends all instances that are equal to groupid=1 and include the names of the template and the object.Am I missing something or do I have to create another class object for WCF that would look like this:
I guess I could alter my tables to account for this but that seems wrong too. I know that IEnumerable objects can't be serialized and I know that throw away objects are probably not the way to go either. I want to do this the right way but I am not sure how to go about it.
What is the best way to go about creating a custom framework for asp.net?
We have several enterprise level asp.net ecommerce websites all running from completely seperate code bases. What I'd like to do is standardise the common components (session management/urlrewriting/surge control etc) and integrate them into the .net framework at the highest level possible and in a way that my developers cannot (easily) make changes.
I've considered creating a common assembly and just referencing that in each of the solutions but this still relies on the developer wiring up the httphandlers/modules and implementing the basepage design pattern for each individual page/masterpage.
I have a Results.aspx page that displays the resulting records queried using a SqlDataSource object via a ListView. I want to add a "View" button that will appear next to each record, and when clicked will take me to a separate page that will display details about that record. How do I accomplish this?
Edit
I have tried what you said, citronas and here's what I've come up with:
[Code]....
Unfortunately nothing actually happens...am I missing something?
Edit -- Fixed
I was missing something! I had CommandName equal to my method name instead of OnCommand. I took out CommandName, kept the argument bit and replaced CommandName with OnCommand. Everything works now, but what would I ever need CommandName for?
I don't know is this correct forum for asking this question or not, but i need it very urgently ,please help me out.I need to create a website setup with the following actions.1. Primarily it should first check whether IIS is installed in local machine or not, if IIS is not installed then it should give an Error Message.2. If IIS is present it should Start Installing with all the Content Files and Web Files and Class Files.3. After Installing all the files in IIS it should ask for the Connection String i.e. from where and which database should be taken as connection string, and it should set this connection string in web.config.4. After all this process it should ask for default page to be opened i.e. Which page should be started as first page.5. Then it should automatically open that website with default set page in browser , to check whether it is working fine or not.
I am trying to create a custom datatype. The intention being a dropdown list. As of right now, I can access the control I created but no properties or values are showing up within it. Just the blank drop down.
public partial class usercontrols_admin_customDataType_CountryDropDown : System.Web.UI.UserControl, umbraco.editorControls.userControlGrapper.IUsercontrolDataEditor { public string umbracoValue; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (Page.IsPostBack) { DataSet ds = new DataSet(); FormFieldBuilder countries = new FormFieldBuilder(); ds = countries.GetAllCountries(); ddCountries.DataSource = ds; ddCountries.DataTextField = ds.Tables[0].Columns["DisplayName"].ToString(); ddCountries.DataValueField = ds.Tables[0].Columns["guiCountryID"].ToString(); ddCountries.DataBind(); } } #region IUsercontrolDataEditor Members public object value { get { return ddCountries.SelectedValue; } set { if (value != null) { ddCountries.SelectedValue = value.ToString(); } } } #endregion }
