Just wondering is there any drawbacks to publishing a ASP .NET web application by copying all the files in it? (That means all the .cs, .csproj files will be included in the published folder)
So far I can think that the published folder's total size may become a little bigger (but that a negligible issue for me).
I'm new @ linq and can't find anywhere where it mentions if the dbml or other files are necessary to deploy with a website.
View 2 Replies i have a production server that does not have ftp access. Possible way to deploy files is connecting with remote desktop client and send files.
As you know this approach is highly hard and time inefficient.
Is there a way of filtering large CSS files for the only required selectors on a page, and creating css files that contain just these selectors?
Case: I have a very large CSS file that I want to filter on a per page basis, so that the file size is cut down and can be cached by mobile devices. I was thinking along the lines of something like a server side dust me selectors tool.The particular project I am working on is using ASP.NET MVC.

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for good approch for below requirement. I would appreciate if someone can guide me on this.
I would like to write a script,
1. which checkout the latest files from SVN
2. Then compile the solution files.
3. If some compilation errors, need to send a mail.
I'm not looking for any deployment as of now.
All I want to write the script to know is, can latest version of SVN tree compile successfull or not.
For my *.resx files in App_GlobalResouces, what should the Build Action be? The defaults for creating a new resource file have Build Action as "Content", Copy to Output Directory as "Do not copy", and Custom Tool as "GlobalResourceProxyGenerator".
On certain servers I get an runtime error: "CS0101: The namespace 'Resources' already contains a definition..." that points to a "temporary asp.net files" folder. This makes me think that maybe I should be embedding these files so I don't have to worry about this duplicate registration. Or is my error the only real problem and keeping the physical files in the App_GlobalResouces section is fine?

View 1 RepliesWe have a .Net solution for a website, consisting of 5 projects, and there are a few(less than 10) developers working on the solution. We deploy almost on a daily basis. The question is, how to setup the SVN repo to support this scenario (the daily deploy), also mentioning that not every commited file should go to production, there is a QA check before deploying.

View 1 RepliesI'm accustomed to writing desktop applications in C#.NET. Where I have a nice little solution folder which is also under version control. So at any time, on any computer I can check out whatever version of my software I want run the compiler and have a working copy of my program.
Now I'm looking into developing websites, where the files and data are a lot more dispersed. I'm using ASP.NET, but really my question is more general and could apply to any website framework.
I'm trying to understand the proper work-flow between developing my website, a version control server, and the actual live website that users will see. Obviously this can vary a lot depending on the type and scale of the website, but I'm only considering a pretty simple site. I'm just getting started with this stuff.
All the source files for the site would be stored on a subversion server, which I would check out onto my local computer. My local computer would have a local database which I would use for development of the site. Next I would publish to a test version on my hosted server, which would point to a separate test database. This test database may periodically be replaced by a copy of the live database.
If all goes well I would then publish to a beta version of the site which points to the live data. Users could then check out the beta version to provide feedback. Finally if there are still no problems the source files for the live site would be updated.
Does this make sense? Does anyone have any comments on how this could be improved? Are there any good books or online tutorials available on developing these kind of workflows?
Also the one thing that I'm really not sure about is how to manage changes to the actual schema of the database. I figure with each version I could generate a SQL script that can be use to update the Test and Live databases on the host. However, I'd also like to be able to easily setup a new database for any version of my site with out having to run every update SQL script for every version up to the desired version. Is the best solution to use an ORM like NHibernate or Subsonic so I could always generate my database schema directly from my code?
I have source-version of project and i need to deploy it on IIS. General project it properly deploy using VS2008, but issue is, if new revision is created then i need to point new source to deploy web-site. In this case i need to remove created virtual dir for previous version. Is this possible to toggle virtual directory between two sources. I think one solution is to change virtual directory path to new one.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to deploy the Bugtracker.NET tool [URL], which is a normal ASP.NET 2.0 application, into the default web site of an IIS which already has Sharepoint installed in it. The OS is Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 and Sharepoint Services 3.0. The question is that when I execute the application, I get a NullReferenceException because HttpContext.Current.Session is null, and I think that this could be due to a problem with the configuration of the web site, as the application runs perfect in web sites with no Sharepoint installed.
I already know that Sharepoint customizes the web site with handles, modules and so on, that all applications in the web site inherit, modifying their behavior. I have already given to the ASP.NET application Full trust level, enabled Anonymous authentication and InProc session state, but I am still getting that HttpContext.Current.Session is null. Even changing the app pool from Wss3AppPool to DefaultAppPool does not succeed. Maybe someone could tell me which settings do I need to tweak in the web site in order to avoid this exception.
I was commissioned to write a search asp.net page for a company. Page works great, they finally ask me to deploy to the web server. I RDP out to the web server, and instead of finding a normal deployment, I see all the aspx pages along with their code-behind files. They do not pre-compile their pages.
So in an environment like this, how do I deploy my asp.net page? I can get pages to run that don't have dependencies on other things, but this particular page uses Linq. So in my web project, I have a dbml file, and it's generated pages. I have put the dbml and related files on the webserver. The page fails when it encounters the using datacontext statement.
How can I tell my page where this code is?

View 2 RepliesI need to deploy a website from the SVN to different servers all within our own network. The code is currently not complied but probably will be in the future.
First the site would need to be deployed to the development server for the developers to test.
Once the Developer signs off it would be deployed to the staging server for the testers.
Once final sign off was given it would be deployed to a server farm, two live servers.
Each server has a couple of settings in the web.config to that are different; expect the two live server of course. I would like to use templates, the way the Ruby on Rails world does, seems like an elegant solution to multiple web.config files.
I also need to create a list/report of the files that were changed and what the change was since the last deployment.
I thinking of writing a script that will do the following
1. Take args for server to deploy to, and revision
2. Export a copy of the source to a directory with svn export -r <deploy revision>
3. Delete the web.config file
4. Use ttree (a template tool [URL]) to create the correct web.config
5. Create a list of file changes with svn list -r <deploy revision>:<current server revision>
6. Stores the <current server revision> of the website for when the script is run next time
I prefer to use tools that are already available rather than re-invent the wheel. Unfortunately I don't think MSDeploy will do what I need, but I'm happy to use it, or anything else, if it will do what I need it to. Does anyone know of any tools that are up to the task or is the script my only option?
I have a .NET 3.5 web application that I recently added some Linq to Sql functionality to -- a dbml file, etc. Locally, it works fine.
However, when I try to deploy it, I get a null reference exception, apparently when it's trying to call the constructor for the context object.
To add to the complexity, I use a Web Deployment Project which compiles it into a single DLL. I assumed the Linq to Sql stuff would get compiled along with everything else. However, now I'm thinking that I need to move the dbml file up along with the DLL.
I had the dbml file in the App_Code directory, so I tried recreating that directory structure on the remote server. But .NET will not let me have an App_Code directory on a precompiled application. So I just moved the dbml file into the root directory -- but I still get the error.
Here's the stack trace for the error I'm getting:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
codeCS.SarcStateDataDataContext..ctor() +28
DB_Interface.SarcStateDataDB..ctor() +26
eSARC_Basic..ctor() +56
[code]....
I don't send it a connection string or connection object, because both the local and deployed versions of the program use the same remote database. But could that be the problem? The local application has access to the connection string in the dbml file, but the deployed application doesn't?

View 3 RepliesWhat are the options available to call another web applications hosted in the same server. Eg: i have a application App1 and App2 hosted on the same server.i just wanted to call App2 from App1 how would i do it.
The most important point is that I can not change the url on the address bar to call the page of the 2nd web application.
Whatever I have achieved so far is I have added a link to my 1st application which redirects to the 2nd application, but it is changing the url on the address bar, I want to redirect to the 2nd application from within the 1st application.
