when we publish an asp.net website, there are 2 file types created under 'bin' folder, .dll & .compiled files. When we deploy to production do we need to copy the .compiled files or just copying .dll will do?
I know it's precompiled at this point but what's the .compiled file for ?
I have asp.net website which when published using build > publish website option in VS2010 and even when checking omit debug information option in website publish window,published folder still contains pdb files is there a way to avoid this behavior?.
View 1 RepliesI am new to MVC. I am using MVC and VS2010. I am trying to publish my website to a remote server. All files are copied except some static pages i have kept inside a folder. for e.g. i have a folder named Content. I have around 5 .pdf files inside this folder and also a .css. When i do Build->Publish <appname> all the files including the .css is copied but not the .pdfs.
View 2 RepliesApparently, DNN installations do not like to be precompiled (they won't be able to find any localized strings then). Our installation is safely put in SVN, which means I cannot just copy the whole directory. To publish everything, I need to copy the whole website directory without the SVN files and directories. So far, I've been messing with good old DOS commands, which is time consuming and error prone.
an MS-Built script or step to do just this? Or can I do this using default Visual Studio 2010 commands?
Note: this is a website, not a web application.
I created a website using VS2010. When I run the website using built-in web server, everything works fine. The website recognizes javascript and aurigma uploader. When I publish the website to local folder and tried to access using IIS 5.1 on local pc,
the java scipt files did not work. I was getting yellow triangle sign at the bottom of the page indicating the object is expected. I tried to look online but i could not find any answer. I have included jquery and javascript file in the header section of master
I am doing a code review of a web project and want to make sure I have all the compiled dll's. I was provided only three .dll files for static analysis but wonder if I am missing any because when I looked at the actual code base and project it contained 20 various .cs files.All that I have opened shared a single namespace, but what was odd was the namespace was not the name of any of the .dll files. How does .net compile the application in the dlls that are found in the /bin folder? how does it get the names of the dlls? How do namespaces fit into this?
View 2 RepliesAfter pre-compiled a ASP.NET web site, I got many files with the names like
App_Web_accountbalance.aspx.dfa151d5.dll
Do you know the rule for the random chars (in bold) above? Can we fix the random chars? The reason to fix it is that if we modify AccountBalance.aspx file later and re-compile the web site, can we just replace App_Web_accountbalance.aspx.dfa151d5.dll.
I want to publish my web application as a single .dll file without all the source code and .aspx markup pages.
I am using VS 2010 with the "Web Deployment Project" add-in. In the compilation settings, I unchecked "make this site updatable" because I want the .aspx files to be compiled as well.
Publishing my web application using the publish feature in VS 2010 works fine, and a single .dll file is created in the "bin" directory.
But all the .aspx markup files are still copied to the web server! I've read that those files are merely marker files which can be deleted, but not in my case. They still contain the whole markup and when I delete them, my application won't run anymore.
It's like I had checked the "make this site updatable" option, but I haven't!
[code]....
I recently published my website locally and then uploaded the .aspx files to the root directory of the host server and then uploaded all of the compiled files into a new "bin" subdirectory. But, when I accessed my website through my domain name, I got an error message that said that my Default web page has not been compiled.
The service that I am using is an ASP.NET hosted server called JodoHost. But I noticed that, besides the new "bin" subdirectory that I put all of my compiled files into, there was also subdirectories named aspnet_client, cgi-bin, and images. I assume that my problem stems from not placing my compiled files into these. Is this correct? If so, what should I be placing into which directories?
We have a company product (asp.net website) that gets compiled and distributed to our clients. I need to figure out a way to allow us to add in an ad hoc aspx webpage into the website (so it recognizes the master page, the forms authentication, assemblies, etc) without having to provide them with an un-compiled version of the website product.Is this possible. Is there a better method than having a special compiled version of the website on their server.
View 1 RepliesI 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?
I have a website with a global.asax file with some debug code in Application_Start, which inserts some debug information in a table in the db:
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Log.LogToDb("App Starts");
}
I have 2 versions of the same website, one compiled and the other one just plain code.The plain code website correctly inserts these records in the db, but the compiled one is not doing it.
I have a feeling the Global.asax file is being ignored by the compiled website. I can see the dll for it in the in folder: App_global.asax.compiled and App_global.asax.dll although I can't see a Global.asax file in the root folder (do I need one?)
I must say the website is compiled with MSBuild and then obfuscated using Dotfuscator.
I have various caches on my compiled website. However, I need to clear all these caches. Is there a way of doing this (without having to restart the server!)?

View 1 RepliesI have a website(not an application) built in VS2008. When I try to publish the site, any of the files that are in the root folder are not published. This has only just started happening and I am unsure what I have changed to cause this. The files are not excluded from the project.
View 1 RepliesAfter I installed the .net framework 3.5 to my iis box (which didn't have any previous version of .net fraemwork), I'm not long able to upload the aspx page via WebDav with MS Expression Web. I got the "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden " error message.
Also I got this error "Server Application Unavailable" when trying to open the aspx page. my iis box is not a domain controller nor a backup domain controller.

Smooth Streaming requires .ism, .ismc, .dat files to make the Silverlight video player page work. If the "Only files needed to run this application" is selectd in the "Package/Publish Web" tab, these files are not published. Now I have to select "All files in this project" to publish them but this is undesirable because it also pushes all the source code files to the server. Is there any way to specifically tell VS that .ism, ismc and .dat files are required to run the application?
View 4 RepliesUp until recently this worked without an issue. I am very certain I did not change any settings intentionally in VS2010. So I change a file in my project, something as basic as a web.config file. Clean and build the solution then Publish to a file system. No errors, goes through all the directories, but when I check the production site, the files are not being updated.What could cause this, and how does one fix it?
View 2 RepliesI had made a change to the MasterPage and I would like to publish this to my production server at Server Intellect.
I wanted to know, that since I re-compiled the site, and saw the changes locally, do I now need to FTP all of the files?
Or can I just upload the file that I changed- the MasterPage?
Also, Im planning on making a change to a Class. Can I just upload that .cs file by itself?
We need to deploy our asp.net web site in web farm which consists of 16 web servers. Whenever we need to roll out a new release it is very time consuming and tedious as we need to deploy it first on the DR environment (16 web servers) and then on to Live environment (16 web servers). Currently we prepare the msi on our build server and copy it on all the front end web servers which involves first FTPing the msi to a common location on hosting network and then copying from the common location to each server.
After thet we backup the existing website and then run the installer one by one on each machine
I made a simple network tool using Visual Studio 2010 Express, ASP.NET C#.
When I finished, I deployed it to a Local IIS 5.1 Server. I'm running XP(BTW).
The situation right now is that every time I add/change something to suit my needs, it changes it directly on the server - which is obviously unwanted. I want to understand why this is and how to change it. I don't want every test I do to be implemented directly on save.
ps.
On Project->Properties, Web tab. I verified that under the "Servers" option, "Visual Studio Development Server" in checked and not "Local IIS Web Server"
