View 4 RepliesI am planning to develop a social networking website for student of a particular university with following facilities.
Forum, Blog, Creating profile, creating groups , Adding Friends, managing groups, dating, chatting etc.
Now if I start developing it from scratch, this will take a lot of time..
I couldnt find any CMS which can in developing social networking website.
Additionally, I would like the website to have my own custom design. Also it should have support for AJAX, SEO and integrating third party applications.
I am currently working on a project that is very new to me, and I feel a bit over my head as far as knowledge base is concerned. My request is for references and information to help me expand my knowledge base, as well as recommendations for technologies and methods.I have experience primarily with Java, so all this Windows service stuff is new to me. I am not really asking for a how-to
The project is as follows: I am to develop an application in ASP.NET that runs as a process from start-up to shutdown. It will be checking some things in a folder, encrypting some files from that folder, and then check if internet connectivity is available. If it is available, it will be sending those files to a server (via a web service on that server, I believe). If it is not available, it will check every 'insert time interval here' to see if connectivity has become available, at which time it will send the files. Once the files are received by the service, the application will need to recieve some kind of confirmation from the server that the file associated with 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' uniqueidentifier has been received.
Any explanation of the way that web services work or how to implement file encryption in a desktop app (resource load optimization is a very substantial requirement of this app).
I'm working on a page that has a significant number of textboxes/dropdowns/etc to fill out. The majority of these are going to be performing some sort of custom validation. I should note that it's nothing of substantial size - all just string or integer values.
I always hear (and have typically always agreed) that as much validation should be performed on the client rather than on the server, but in this case I am unsure. The difference here is that this project will be passed on to an IT guy who knows about computers but is still new to programming - he will be the one in charge of making the minor updates and changes to the way these custom validations work in the future.
My idea shifted from being as efficient as possible to being a bit less efficient but much more readable. I created a new class specifically for all of my validations which will be used throughout the website. By forcing all of my custom validation code in this class, though, I eliminate any client-side validations I might be able to perform. I should also note that each page that requires a custom validation will generally need to perform at least one server-side validation, so I will never be able to use client-side 100%
Considering the relatively low level of activity on the website (currently and in the future), would you consider this as an acceptable solution? Or would you ALWAYS prefer to have as much validation on the client as possible in order to increase the responsiveness, even if it makes things a bit more messy for whoever may be working on it in the future?
We have a largely asp.net web form team (With some Oracle developers thrown in).
Question 1:
Is it a good idea to start using asp.net MVC which will mean redevelopment of a number of standard controls for not much benefit.
Question 2:
Is it a good idea to hire developers where there most recent skills are with asp.net MVC?
I doubt there is any benefit adopting MVC now, given the 100+ applications in this suite of products, and the maintenance/rework this will cause. Given this, is there any particular reason to hire MVC developers, as they won't be hitting the ground running, which is what I need now.

Details:
I am using visual studio 2005 on windows xp sp3. The website is stored on file system. I used subversion to checkout the code from the server.
Here is the issue:
When I run the application for the first time everything is fine. But when I makes changes in the application then I should just be able to see those changes by reloading the page in browser. But it's not happening. I have to stop the development server and re-run the application which will start a new instance of development server and now I can see the changes. This takes like 3-4 minutes and it's a lot of waste of time which I can't afford.
For my fellow developer who is here for a long time everything is just working fine. He can just modify the page and reload the page in browser to see the changes.
Reading some forums on web, I tried to clear the cache of my browser (IE, Firefox) and it's not working. So, it's not a browser's cache issue. It's related to cache in development server.
if i have a separate dll for each page on my server and that is working fine. if I make some changes in code behind file of a particular page say, xyz.aspx page. then I have to upload the dll of that particular page. and that refreshes the whole web application and all sessions and other values got disturbed in the application. Is there any way that uploading the xyz.dll (of page xyz.apsx) on refreshes the xyz.aspx and didn't disturb the whole web application.
View 1 RepliesI have an asp.net website. I want to add subdomain for a secondary language:

I have no idea where to start.
At our company we are going to develop more for the Windows platform than we have done up until now. As this scale of Windows development is new to us it would be nice with some feedback from experienced developers. Requirements we have: 5 developers from the beginning. 15 developers a year from now. All developers should be able to develop at the same time. Be able to develop solution for ASP.NET and EpiServer 5. Our idea:
A shared server which developers use for development through Terminal Services. SQL Server Express. Start with some free express edition of Visual Studio, upgrade to a commercial version if we need the additional features. Use IIS and not the web server built into Visual Studio. Questions:
Are we on the right track?
In terms of license costs the above should be cheapest, right?
What do you think about multiple developers doing development using a shared TS-server?
Do you know of any company which has a similar development environment?
Are we going to miss some features of the full Visual Studio version immediately? Is using Express version a bad choice? Is IIS the best choice? If use IIS the developers may use the same port for deployment. If we use the built in web server each one has to set their own port as we're sharing a machine.
Comment answer:
We are thinking about a shared server as it will most likely decrease the license costs. So it's purely a cost issue. We are using CVS for version control. Our situation is that we develop on Mac and Linux, that's why buying 1 server license + Visual Studio licenses seems to be a cost effective way of starting this type of development.
My dev team and I would like to setup a development environment for our ASP.NET projects. BY development environment i do not mean Visual Studio. I mean, that we have a Database Server, a Application Server and a Web Server in a 'Development Environment'. We want to use this as our integration environment. Where the developers all work on there parts of ASP.NET Applications and then we can push our new changes up to test them as a whole. My Question is , what is the best way to deploy our code together without stepping on our toes?
View 2 RepliesThis is a general question about dealing with URL Rewriting in a development environment. I'm developing a CMS to learn ASP.NET/C#, and I will of course need to implement URL Rewriting. This technique is known to me since I've been using with PHP for several years. However in PHP, you can have a local HTTP server, modify the PHP content directly, refresh the page and see the results. Of course in ASP.NET it's not exactly the same, since you need to compile and then publish the code. The problem I have is that I need to check the URL Rewriting-friendly links my code will generate in my development environment - basically, make the ASP.NET Development Server compatible with URL Rewrite. Or maybe not. My question really is: what is the best solution to do that? Use IIS/Apache2 (w/ Mono) for the development server?
View 5 RepliesI'm from PHP background. I used to use Apache, MySQL and PHP for web development. I'm just starting asp.net mvc. I've Visual Studio 2008 Pro SP1 & .NET 3.5 SP1 already installed on my computer. So, I installed ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Created a "ASP.NET MVC Web Application" project when I hit F5 it gives error Unable to connect to the ASP.NET Development Server No wonder. In this process I didn't setup the webserver. Can I use apache here? I guess IIS is the default. Where is it? How do I configure it? What is the WebRoot directory for IIS server? Where can I find it? On searching for "Unable to connect to the ASP.NET Development Server" I found this solution:
Step 1: Select the "Tools->External Tools" menu option in VS or Visual Web
Developer. This will allow you to configure and add new menu items to your Tools menu.
Step 2: Click the "Add" button to add a new external tool menu item. Name it "WebServer on Port 8010" (or anything else you want).
Step 3: For the "Command" textbox setting enter this value: C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727WebDev.WebServer.EXE (note: this points to the web-server that VS usually automatically runs).
Step 4: For the "Arguments" textbox setting enter this value: /port:8010 /path:$(ProjectDir) (or any port you like)
Step 5: Select the "Use Output Window" checkbox (this will prevent the command-shell window from popping up. Once you hit apply and ok you will now have a new menu item in your "Tools" menu called "WebServer on Port8010". You can now select any web project in your solution and then choose this menu option to launch a web-server that has a root site on port 8010 (or whatever other port you want) for the project. You can then connect to this site in a browser by simply saying [URL] All root based references will work fine.
Step 6: The last step is to configure your web project to automatically reference this web-server when you run or debug a site instead of launching the built-in web-server itself. To-do this, select your web-project in the solution explorer, right click and select "property pages". Select the "start options" setting on the left, and under server change the radio button value from the default (which is use built-in webserver) to instead be "Use custom server". Then set theBase URL value to be: [URL] But there is no C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727WebDev.WebServer.EXE such file on my system. Did I forget to install something?

No, Actually there is no such dev server taskbar icon. Try setting a fixed, predefined port in project properties Tried it. But no positive result. S

View 2 Replieshave starting doing a lot of MVC2 development without doing enough research about the EF4. This lead me to a path which I am not happy with. The way that I laid out my project is that my Models are all ADO.NET Entity Framework Models. Each model is representing database able. Today, I attempted to do a LINQ join on entities which belong to two different data contexts. This resulted in a nasty LINQ error telling me that it can't be done. I hate the fact that the only viable way to use the EF seems to create large models.
