I am using this to get the application root and was wondering if this is a newer better way to do it?
string root = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/');
I ran into the following issue when trying to run a test website on IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2 DatacenterEdition). The web-app is configured to run with framework version 3.5 in a .Net 2.0 app pool. Also the framework 4.0 beta 2 is installed on the server. The application named 'TestPfade' is located under the website's root named 'Default'. It is not only a virtual directory but defined as an application. The folder structure looks like this: The markup of the sole document reads as follows:
[Code]....
When viewed in a browser the image gets shown because the given relative path is correctly resolved to 'images/Lighthouse.jpg' but the paths to the ajax-framework resources also include the application's root folder and therefor aren't found: 'src="/TestPfade/WebResource.axd?d=1bX...' Here is the complete html-source generated:

View 2 RepliesHow can you request the root default.aspx without specifying it in the url for your root application?e.g. ttp://localhost/MyApp/ instead of http://localhost/MyApp/Default.aspxshould be able to do bothI'm not sure if this is a setting in IIS 7.5 for the application or what.
View 3 RepliesI have an odd scenario. I'm trying to run a 4.0 application under a 2.0 web site. If I have the 4.0 application as a level 1 sub folder on a different web site, it runs fine. However, if I have it running under wwwroot, it gives me an error. Why is it referencing the web config in the root even though this site has its own?
This works: site140webapp | This doesn't: wwwrootsite240webapp
The error I get is: Server Error in '/site2/40webapp' Application.

The root of my web application URL on local is http://localhost:8080/ and on staging server it is http://localhost:8080/MyApplication
Now I need to retrieve the virtual path from code. How do I get it? I do not want to redirect to a page but want to get a complete URL of a page and send it via email.
For e.g. I need to sned http://localhost:8080/MyApplication/Home/ in the email.
I want to retrieve data from Active Directory but I am not sure how can I get the root name available in my Active Directory. I know that if I don't give any root name while creating DirectoryEntry object i.e
DirectoryEntry root = new DirectoryEntry("");
then it will start from top most node of the ActiveDirectory tree but if i want to start from some where in mid what should be the root name ? How can i get all root names from Active Directory ?
I am URL routing myself.
Main project only contain the URL routing code.
Different websites are placed on approot.
e.g: I have deployed VS2010 test-default-website at approot/webTest/.
I am trying to opening [URL] from browser.
For that URL request, I am serving page using PageParser.GetCompiledPageInstance(), as follows:
In URL route request handler,
return PageParser.GetCompiledPageInstance("webTest/Account/Login.aspx", HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("webTest/Account/Login.aspx"),
HttpContext.Current);
I am getting following exception:
The file '/Account/webTest/Account/Login.aspx' does not exist.
PageParser.GetCompiledPageInstance is automatically appending '/Account' before the actual address, thus unable to find it.
How can I make it not to append '/Account' ?
I want to completely understand how to use relative and absolute url address in static and dynamic files.~ : / :.. : in a relative URL indicates the parent directory . : efers to the current directory / : always replaces the entire pathname of the base RL// : always replaces everything from the hostname onwardsThis example is easy when you are working without virtual directory. But i am working on virtual directory

I've set up a web app on IIS6 with a "{controller}.mvc/..."-mapping. Everything is running fine - except for the root-path (http://www.myapp.com). The additional routes.MapRoute for "Root" is applied in global.asax (as in the MS-example "Listing 2 - Global.asax (modified with extensions)").In VS2010 debugging mode everything (including the root) works - as well as in the "published" app (on Win7 IIS 7.5). I've copied the whole published app to the IIS6.

We are having an issue where the same set of files behave differently depending on if it is a root IIS website versus an application under an IIS website. The urls produced using ResolveUrl() are different - i.e.:
<a href="<%=ResolveUrl("~/contact.aspx") %>">Contact Us</a>
As the root website, it produces: http://contact.aspx
As an application under a website, it produces: http://domainname.org/DSC/contact.aspx
Both are utilizing the same files. The first example is its own website, the second is a virtual directory made into an application (titled DSC). Both also use the same application pool, and same configuration, document and security settings (I made sure all the settings were the same in IIS between both).
Everything that has been researched indicates ResolveUrl() does refer to the IIS application that the webpage is under. I have also read several places that even if the information isnt completed in IIS (in this case it is), a root website is considered an application. Therefore, it should produce the appropriate web address, but isnt.
ok in one of my application i want .aspx page path from the root that is when i click on text box or any other controll there should be window same as when we try to add img url we get window like that window i want.so that if i select any page i get url from the root .like
~/default.aspx is from root if it is in some base folder say Folder1 then how i get url ~/Folder1/page.aspx.
I am asking this because user can select any page from any folder and they should get path with respect to root
So I created a website in visual studio 2010 and I transfer it to my web host.
The problem is the webhost has the a file structure like this:
[URL]
And I put all my files in wwwroot, and it works fine on the web.
But now in VS, since I had to add [URL] folders, I am getting compile errors that say "This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS".
So my question is - how do I either A) change the root application for IIS on my machine to be at the wwwroot levelB) change VS to let me copy files from the root directory in VS to the [URL] dirctory.
I have a bit of code I am reusing on a lot of my pages so decided to put this code into a Class and placed this class inside the App_Code directory. However when ever I try and create an instance of tis class so that I can use it's Methods etc I can't seem to get it to work, but if I create the class in the web root for the project it all wrks as expected.
View 12 RepliesI am a PHP developer and have been asked to make some slight amendments to an ASP.net site. I can make these amendments but the biggest challenge seems to be getting the actual site up and running on my own server! I have a had lots of errors with regards to the paths to files, as the website is linked absolutely to the root folder and on my development server I cannot have the files at the root. I have therefore worked my way through some of the files making the paths relative so I can at least see some of the site running but then I came across this error:
CS0103: The name 'Data' does not exist in the current context
Line 5: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs args)
Line 6: {
Line 7: rptNews.DataSource = Data.NewsArticle.GetLatestNews(3);
Line 8: rptNews.DataBind();
Line 9: }
I assume this is something to do with data being called from a database. How to get the site and database up and running as I have no idea where to start and feel I am going round in circles.
I have been trying to use UrlRewriter (Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.dll) in a test project. My rewrite statement is as in the following:
<rewrite url="~/Sample/(.+)" to="~/Sample.aspx?Test=$1"/>
This statement works great for a URL like: [URL] or, let's say: [URL] And, I can retrieve the value "12345" in Sample.aspx file as: Label1.Text = "Test: " + Request.QueryString["Test"];
And when I hit the root link, it successfully displays the Default.aspx: [URL] What I want to accomplish is taking the "Sample" off the regex statement, so that I can directly hit [URL] and display Sample.aspx by retrieving "12345" value. And, when the root is hit [URL] it will simply display Default.aspx as it is now. Is it possible? Can the regex statement be updated to something else for this purpose?
I've followed this link [URL] to configure my application on iis7.
- I've published it
- create a folder in inetpubwwwrootMyApp
- I've created my virtual directory to point on MyApp
but then to log on it, I need to point on http:\localhostMyApp but i would like to point on http:\localhost
I am doing some work with Web.Routing, using it to have friendly urls and nice Rest like interfaces to a site that is essentially rendered by a single IHttpHandler. There are no webforms, the handler generates all the html/json and writes it as part of process request.
This works well for things like /Sites/Accounting for example, but I can't get it to work for the site root, i.e. '/'.
I have tried registering a route with an empty string, with 'default.aspx' (which is the empty aspx file I keep in my root folder to play nice with cassini and iis). I set RouteExistingFiles to false explicitly, but whatever I do when hitting the root url it still opens default.axpx, which has no code it inherits from, and contains a simple h1 tag to show that I've hit it.
I don't want to change the default file to redirect to a desired route, I just want the equivalent of a 'default' route that is applied when no other routes are found, similar to MVC.
For reference, the previous version of the site didn't use Web.Routing, but had a handler referenced in the web.config that was perfectly capable of intercepting requests for the root or default.aspx.
Specs: ASP.NET 3.5sp1, C#, no webforms, MVC or openrasta. Plain old IHttpHandlers.
I would like to store some meta-information about a given site instance that can (a) be managed by that site instance and (b) persist clobbering of Web.config file.The site will run in multiple environments (dev,testing,staging and production) and each environment can have different values for this metadata.
Note: All environments are running IIS 7.0+
The Root Web.config seems very appealing, as it is certainly outside of the website. Therefore, both files and databases can be changed while maintaining the metadata. I have seen how to modify the appSettings of the Web.config stored in the website, but is it possible to similarly modify the appSettings in the Root Web.config (Specifically within the proper directive)?
I'm trying to deploy my web project to my local IIS server (C:inetpubwwwrootlunchbox). By default the in is created inside the project directory - i.e lunchboxin. This setup, however, gives me the following error when I try to open the site:
When I move the in directory outside the project root (i.e C:inetpubwwwrootin), the site opens up just fine. I'm also able to test the web project from Visual Studio without any issues.
Can someone tell me why I have to move the in directory outside the project root to make the site work? What can I do to not have to do this?
I am working on a project that is primarily ASP.NET based. The main project is meant to be deployed to multiple locations for different clients, so one client might be located at website.com/client1 and another at website.com/client2. Within the application, we regularly use the application root operator ~ to get the path to a resource.We also have a bunch of Flex applications that get deployed in there, and many rely on web services within the ASP.NET application. What I'm after is a way to reference the services relative to the application root. Here's an example of the location of some files for two client deployments:
Client A
website.com/clientA/swf/FlexApplication.swf
website.com/clientA/services/webService.asmx
Client B
website.com/clientB/swf/FlexApplication.swf
website.com/clientB/services/webService.asmx
FlexApplication and webService are both exactly the same, so what I want to do is something like this in the Flex code:
var myService:CustomService = new CustomService(~/services/webService.asmx);
myService.callMethod("Test");
I would like to avoid using relative paths for the usual reasons. Is there a good way to do this or a good way to pass the root url to the flex application from ASP.NET?

I recently got abused on these forums because I was testing with the cassini in my development environment. So now I use local iis via the settting in the properties --> web tab and then creating a virtual directory.
The problem now is that the url is:
http://Localhost/Website
The problem is that http://Localhost/ is still the root - so its gone and broke all my css and JQuery ajax calls.
I've tried playing with application root setting in the properties tab with no luck. I have been querying the interwebs and realise that I need to do something in IIS -
