Does Windows Azure Support The Application Warm-Up Module Or Something Similar
Mar 19, 2010
We have a Web Role that we are hosting in Windows Azure that uses an old ASMX based Web Reference to contact an external system. The Web Reference proxy code is big enough that instantiating it the first time has a significant cost.
We'd like to be able to have this run when the Web Role starts instead of on the first request.
I know IIS 7.5 has an Application Warm-Up module that would allow us to achieve this, but I'm having trouble figuring out if something similar exists with hosting on Windows Azure.

I just downloaded and installled the Microsoft Windows Azure SDK yesterday for the first time and I am having issues running the application as I all I am getting is 503 errors. I run Windows Server 2008 R2 on my development machine and even tested it on another co-workers 2008 R2 and couldn't even compile the application. He got this error instead "A problem occurred while trying to set the "References" parameter for the IDE's in-process compiler. Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."
From within my Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Virtual Windows 7 x86 enviroment, I was able to successfully build and run the Windows Azure SDK and it even showed the base ASP.NET application.So my question is, does the Windows Azure SDK for Visual Studio 2010 w/ Visual Studio 2010 SP 1 installed not work under Microsoft Server 2008 R2?

This is going to be a question really for someone who has knowledge with PingIdentity and ACS, which could be pretty limited.I've got my ACS set up, all working fine and I know how to add a custom STS (PingIdentity) but I can't find any of the PingIdentity Federation MetaData (FederationMetaData.xml) to authenticate with.
Apparently our current system's workflow is such:
Us -> Our PingIdentity server -> Supplier -> Supplier's PingIdentity server -> Route token back to us.
Would I have to use our local PingIdentity Federation MetaData as the STS in order to achieve what I'm looking for (same scenario, but with ACS)? And where can I find this?

does windows azure automatically scale up(by providing more instances), or I need to change this?
the extra small instance costs 0.05$/hour. According to Azure SLA I need to use at least 2 instances. This means 2 * $0.05*24*30=$72/month minimum. I can get on premise asp.net hosting for $5/month. Is there any offer I don't know about so I can build from the start on Azure architecture, or should I just switch to azure when I need more scaling and other servies that Azure offers because the difference in price is too high for me.

I've currently got Windows Azure AppFabric system set up and running with my own registered Namespace, in which uses the Google/Yahoo/Windows Live STS providers. That all works fine, I can use them and login to my application. Easy.
However, I can't find anything in any way useful on the web that related to adding my own STS to this list from a 3rd party supplier. I've read that it's possible, and it's the last hurdle I'm stuck on here - replacing the Google/Yahoo/Windows Live STS with the ones I need my application to authenticate with. I cannot find anywhere in the STS control panel to allow for this (AppFabric Labs).

I'm migrating an ASP .NET 2.0 WebSite to WebRole (ASP.NET 4.0 and VS2010). After created new web role, I moved all files and folders from website to WebRole then reference all needed dlls. I build and run web role stand alone and everything ok without problems. But when I build and run WindowsAzureProject, below errors come up
[fabric] Role state Stopping
[fabric] Role state Stopped
[fabric] Role state Aborted
[fabric] Role state Teardown
[fabric] Role state Destroyed
[runtime] Role entrypoint could not be created:
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
at System.Reflection.RuntimeModule.GetTypes(RuntimeModule module)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes()
at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment.CreateRoleEntryPoint(RoleType roleTypeEnum)
at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment.InitializeRoleInternal(RoleType roleTypeEnum)
and the status "Operation was canceled" It takes me days to resolve but nothing found. I did set "Copy local" to true for all reference dlls but it doesn't effect also. I've just thought spring.core and spring.aop caused the error but I don't know how to debug and catching where it crash

We're currently refactoring our ASP.NET 4.0 Web Application to run on both plain old IIS and Azure. For the Settings (in the Properties namespace), I'd like to implement the State Pattern with an AzureSettingsState and a StandaloneSettingsState, which both provide settings getter methods.Now could anybody help me figuring out how ASP.NET deserializes the non-String values (e.g. TimeSpan or StringCollection), so that I can deserialize them on my own in the context class? All settings seem to be strings there.
public abstract class ConfigStateBase
{
public abstract string GetSettingValue(string setting);
}

the possible options to get the dynamic web pages. Existing application: We have windows application to desing the "Screen designer templates". The end user uses this application to make his own screen templates, save the information in xml and get the screen in run time. This works fine for windows based application. Current Problem: Its difficult to provide such screen designer application in web. I mean Drag & drop the controls in web page during the run time. So we are planning to use windows application to design the template. And during the run time user should get his own designed template on web page. We are trying to display the similar web form like as windows form with matching controls. let me know what are the options available to solve this problem.

I've got a database that looks like this:
ID Name ParentID
1 1 0
2 1A 1
3 1B 1
4 1C 1
5 2 0
6 2A 5
7 2B 5
8 2B1 7
9 2B2 7
10 2B3 7
ParentID points to the ID field so that ID 2 is the child of ID 1.
Unfortunately, the order of the db elements is not guaranteed but what I'd like to do is have the information displayed sort of like in windows explorer with the children directly underneath the parents.
I've done something similar in the past with nested gridviews (ugh!), but it didn't point to itself and I knew how many children (additional db tables) there would be in advance. I'm basically trying to re-create that setup but make it much more flexible by making it point to itself.
Pseudo Coding I'd do something like:
Setup the html table and table headers Go through the DB from the top and search for the row with ParentID = 0 Add that row to the table Go through the db and find the row where ParentID = ID of Step 2)Add that row to the table Recursive magic go back to 4 Keep going deeper inception style ^^ Recursive magic go back to 2
I just have no idea how to even begin doing something like this!
This has nothing to do with my problem, but so you know where I'm going with this: after I get the table/gridview setup in the correct order, I plan on using jquery to hide all the non 0 parentID rows and make the rows clickable so that the child rows expand out underneath the parent row.

In one of our ASP.NET Web site solutions I need to roll out an update that might take reasonable time. It spawns multiple Windows Azure Workers and projects and so simple Deployment Swap is ruled out.
Essentially I'm just thinking about way to redirect all web requests to a "site is under maintenance" page for some time, given the project is under Windows Azure.
I'm aware of the app-offline.htm trick with IIS, but I doubt that Azure Web Role will allow this one to be deployed or run (it spins down the app domain).

We have an issue with a .NET 2.0 web service application that is generating a module not found exception when we try to load on server 2008. A second server running the same 2008 version loads the service fine.As part of the investigation we have taken the default hello world .NET 2.0 web service and deployed to both servers and have exactly the same issue with it running fine on one but not the other. The issue is trying to track down the module in question. Running process explorer and dependency walker doesn't seem to give us a clue.
The full error is:-

I am having a simple Azure cloud app(WebRole=ASP.Net MVC) which draws charts using ASP.Net Charting control. Chart RenderType = ImageMap Chart ImageLocation = "/Images/Chart_#SEQ(1000,1)" Number of app instances deployed on Windows Azure = 5 App contains a button which draws charts as per users parameters. When user clicks on this button, MVC action is called which provides necessary ViewData for drawing chart and returns a partial view which after getting rendered sends ImageMap and Image location to client.
When I try to draw charts from IE8 I always get the charts as per my parameters but when I simulataneously try to draw charts on FireFox sometimes I get wrong charts(wrong images). Is is due to roundrobin used - #SEQ(1000,1) or due to mutiple instances of my cloud app?

of course I don't want to copy the same files to make new project , so How can I create the second project without using (Copy & Paste ) on code
of course it goes without saying that I have DAL and BLL so I'm not asking about those two layers , My question regarding the mvc interface layer only

I'm looking for a way to providing users (administrators) of a web application to automatically (meaning it's opt-in to update, but the installation should be automatic when started) update said web application when new versions are released.
The reason why I want an automatic approach is that I want the users to be able to update the web application while it's running remotely, without having to gain physical access to the machine (including RDP).
I could of course write my own code for this, but I would prefer to use something like ClickOnce that has been around for a while. Is it possible to use ClickOnce for this?
Or is there an alternative for ASP.NET applications that I have not been able to find?
It is important that it's the user that does the update and not me, so I don't think WebDeployment is the way to go, but I'm willing to listen to scenarios where this would work.
The users are not system administrators, so I want this to be as fool proof as possible.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010, ASP.NET 2.0 (.NET 3.5). If a solution requires switching to version 4, this is possible, but not preferred.

I am writing an asp.net HTTP module which needs to read configuration data once from a local file (say config.xml stored in application root directory) and then based on configuration perform some processing on incoming requests.
Since there is no Application_Start/Application_init hooking available in Asp.NET modules, what would be the best way to handle the scenario. I am trying to avoid reading configuration file each time a request comes. Ideally, I want to read the config file when application starts.
I need to code this in http module only and do not want to use Global.asax
