I have several ASP.NET sites in IIS7 and would like to be able to group them into folders (or other mechanism, if available). Ideally, I would use a customer name or account number and put the sites under there.
Is there a way to customize the organization of sites in IIS7, or is there just the one 'flat' view?
I'm open to tricks and hacks.
We have a set of about 30-50 users who periodically need an ASP.net (version 4) application directory created for them.
As these numbers grow, manually creating an application directory for each user becomes cumbersome on IIS 7.
Is there a way to create these application folders using a batched/scripted/automated mechanism of some kind?
Ideally we'd like to provide input parameters of a file that contains a batch of application-names, and have the script automatically create the application directories in IIS.
In a website, I see some developers put code into app_code, and sometimes appcode (due to some bug), other files into DataModel, and other files into miscellaneous folders.
Is there a standard approach to organizing code within an application?
How is it different between an ASP.NET, MVC, Silverlight, Console, Database, and WCF application? The reason I mention WCF is because many people seem to have a shared types library that is linked between the server and client code.
Where can I learn these common practices without having to try, fail, and try again. I'd rather just learn it once from the experts.
We have an application that is currently required to be accessed using two authentication schemes, Forms Auth and Active Directory or NTLM / Windows Auth.The way the application is now, there are two IIS sites pointing to different folders with the same set of files, everything identical except the web.config.Before anyone flames me this was an inherited application, but nevertheless one I am now responsible for. We have an opportunity to do some refactoring and I'm trying to figure out the best way to proceed.
View 1 RepliesI have been creating a few MVC web sites with SQL Server 2008 and hosting them in IIS7.
However, at the moment I need to host one of the web sites with IIS6.
Will I have any problem?
The client requested to use their current hosting service which is IIS6 so I have no idea if some problem will come up.
I wrote some code to connect the application to it's database, then I created some code to use the connection code and retrieve, update or add some values to the database, Also I might have some code to deal with other stuff than to deal with the database
The code is a little complicated, maybe it's simple but it's not short, for example to write a good piece of code to just retrieve a single value so I could set the controller with this value I used this :
SqlConnection sqlconnection= new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
SqlCommand sqlcommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT name FROM message WHERE id = 3", sqlconnection);
try
{
sqlconnection.Open();
lbl_name.Text = (string)sqlcommand.ExecuteScalar();
Status.Text = "Done";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Status.Text = ex.Message;
}
finally
{
sqlconnection.Close();
}
I might even add some code to store some info in the database about any exception is thrown, I think the code is pretty basic, yet it's not small, given that it's the smallest piece I'll need, some huge code is written for adding or editing new items, and also consider that it's not the only code I'll write in the page, the page has more needs.
I've provided a detailed case I hope!...So what do you think will be the best way to make my page fast and easy to read and have an organized code I've started placing every code in an appropriate method, but some methods are common so I create them again in every page that needs them like a ConnectionToDataBase Method, and mean while I think I just organized the page so I could mainly look at Page_Load and see what are the called methods and then scroll down to read the definition but It's still a big page and note the best practice I think
Sorry for all the big question, I just provide details so I could get a reasonable answer for my question, I hope everyone benefits from it as most questions are pretty basic, newbies like me needs some detailed cases and answers to get a better start.
EDIT: I know I'm new, So any comments on my code are more than welcome!
Listing folders in folders then creating arrays in JS for each of the folders?
Directory Structure:
I have a directory structure as follows;
ad_folder
--folderA
--folderB
--folderC
--anotherFolder
--etcfolder
--afile.aspx
--anotherfile.gif
ad_code
--folderA
--folderB
--afile.aspx
--anotherfile.gif
ad_prep
--folderA
--etcfolder
--afile.aspx
--anotherfile.gif
ad_bin
--etcfolder
--afile.aspx
--anotherfile.gif
other Folder
files folder
assetsfolder
index.aspx
web.config
image.gif
Task at hand:
I want code in VB.NET to create javascript arrays of the folder contents that can then be used on the client end. I only need arrays for all folders contained in folders starting with ad_ and an array for all the base folders . like so:
var folders=["ad_folder","ad_code","ad_prep","ad_bin"];
var ad_folder=["folderA","folderB","folderC","anotherFolder","etcfolder"];
var ad_code=["folderA","folderB"];
var ad_prep=["folderA","etcfolder"];
var ad_bin=["etcfolder"];
note that I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.

I want to create several websites on my domain, and I am wondering how to go about this in MVC? Should I put them all within one project, and create separate folders in each Views, Models and Controllers folder for each site, or would it be better to create a separate project for each site, although I'm not sure how I would integrate
View 5 RepliesIm working on a project where i will need to create sites programatically when a user completes a sign up process.
so basically if my main site is: www.mysite.com i will need to create subsites in the format of: www.username.mysite.com
where username is an option entered by the user in the signup process to designate a unique identifier for their site.
im working with VB.NET language.
I was nosing around with Sysinternals Procmon today, just to see where some disk activity was coming from. In the process (pardon the pun) I noticed that Visual Studio was constantly testing for the presence of a bunch of web folders which didn't exist. Procmon log: "D:wwwroot" is my web root. The folder "csharp" doesn't exist.
This happens continually, every few seconds. When I create "csharp" and those subfolders, VS stops checking for them. But they don't exist in my project file and there's no need for them as far as I know. I don't know what they are for. Does anyone know why VS wants those folders? Their absence doesn't seem to affect anything, yet VS keeps checking if they exist, which is weird.
Not quite sure what you would call these but I am looking to create sub folders for my users eg
mysite.com/billyblue
What I have done up to this point is make a 404 page that handles unknown pages. It takes the part after the / and looks it up in the database. Then I redirect them to the relevant page.
I am having a few issues with this and to be honest am not to keen on handling it this way.
Does anyone have an alternative method for achieving this.
ASP.Net 2005
I am a new bie to work with ASP.net. I want to create an application /site in asp.net which work like content management system. As we see many sites are now a days being build on JOOMLA. How can we create such a CMS (content management system) sites using ASP.NET.
I have an asp.net app that allows users to create personal pages which can be publicly accessed thru a "directory" page. The content of the pages is stored in sql server, so a given user's page is dynamically created thru the code that executes when the relevant link on the directory page is clicked.
I would like to take this a step further by allowing access to a given user's page directly thru the browser's address bar, something likewww.thegreatestsite.com/jim (pretty much like You Tube, Facebook, etc.).
I could achieve this by manually creating a folder under the root, called "jim" and put a default.aspx page in it which has the code in it's load event that would dynamically create jim's page.
However, I would like this "additional feature" to be created automatically, as part of the sign up process of the user.
I have no clue as to what would be the best approach. For all I know there might even be a standardized way to ado this in asp.net?
i m not able to open certain sites from internet explorer 7.it is showing all sites as restricted .

I have two e-commerce sites. One was built using ASP .net technology and the other one was built using open source codes.
Now I would like to allow shared shopping cart between the two sites. The customer will be able to add product from either site to the same shopping cart and check out.
Has anyone done this type of project before? It seems that there isn't any easy solution -- i.e. we would have to build a new shopping cart from group up for both sites.
We are working on a SharePoint Site where we have created lot of webparts. Now so far we have been creating SitePages for these webparts manually and adding webparts to those. It takes lot of time in any environment and its difficult to move from environment to environment.What is the ideal way of doing it? How can we automate sitePage creation process and hopefully add webpart to it by some scripts?
View 1 Replieswe want all these requests to point back to www.site.com and not have to physically create the files and directories for every type of site... so if I just create a virtual directory (www.site.com/india) and point it to www.site.com... then I figure I can look at the URL and set some parameters/text/images accordingly to fill out the template

I'm building ASP.Net MVC 2 application using Repository pattern. My question is how to organize my application. Most of the examples I see on the web, using separate Modelproject with Repositories and Entity Data Model. These examples are not using MVC Model folder.
I have 3 projects in my solution.
1. Application (MVC Project)
- Models
- Repository (Here I want to create Repository folder for my Repository)
- IRepository (Also I want to create IRepository folder for my Interface)
2. DataModel ( Which will have my Entity Data Model and my POCO T4 Template)
3. Test
I understand the basics of setting up routes, I am trying to get a handle on how to organize more complex routes. Does the Route name do anything? I havn't seen a place it's actually used. If I have the route: controller/action/id/paramA/paramB/paramC. ParamA-C could be defining multiple parameters so First/Last/Zip or Phone/Zip/Birthday. Is it common practice to name the additional parameters with a generic name like paramA vs trying to differentiate a separate route for each?
Lastly, if you have multiple sites/functional areas in 1 site, lets say the asp.net site, each area MVC, Ajax, Forums ect were all different functional areas. Is it best to create a different group of routes such as hard coding the controller like:
MVC/action/id
Ajax/action/id
Forums/action/id
or is there a better way? What I am running into is 1 piece of the site overriding the other route because of the number/type of parameters.

Although it may not seem like that but there is a little questions about this subject.I am not asking if I should use DB or filesystem, the file system it is, but I am asking what is the best way of organizing pictures in file system that will be used with asp.net application? I am talking about tens or even hundreds of thousands of picture.
To elaborate a question a bit.
Where should repository be located, create another VD in IIS or in application VD, or somewhere outside IIS?
How to organize file patsh, put them all in one folder or create subfolders. If so how to name all those folders?How to handle multiple sizes of the same image? where to locate them?How to sync folders and images with database?What else crosses your mind, and you think it's important..
I've done something myself allready, but I am asking if someone had some experience with this. Maybe it could be done better yours way.
I put things like this
I stored pictures in IIS folder, because storing them outside of iis make them unable to use in web, because of paths. You cannot use file path in web, it must be virtual file path.
http://images/1.jpg istead of C:images1.jpg
in the root I had subfolder for each picture size
root-
+400x300
+600x400
+1024x768
Named images by id from database. If the ImageID from database is 45678909, the name of picture is 45678909.jpg an it's location is
VDimages400x30045678945678909.jpg
VDimages600x40045678945678909.jpg
I sliced the picture name two by two, and create subfolders. the point was not to have more than 100 files in folder. Was this good idea or stupid one? How would you organize this? For person, this organization with tons of folder is not easy to use.
Name of the image with its relative path I saved in database table with description and time of insert etc. path: 45678945678909.jpg
