I made Web Setp Project for a web application, I need to change virtual directory property for the web application.
This virtual directory is linked to TARGETVDIR property which is disabled in the property grid.But I need to control it, I searched for this and I found that the only way is to use orca.exe and change msi using it.
Can I amke another solution to avoid making modification on nsi after build???
I created a web setup project. When the users install it, the virtual directory gets created and all the files are created under "C:Inetpubwwwroot<myvirtualdirectory>".
How to customize the web setup project so that I can change the virtual directory physical path? I had followed the tutorial
[URL]
but it didn't work and my MSI stopped installing alltogether.
I made a web form on a development website of mine (we'll call it dev.somewhere.com) and tried to publish it out to the web (we'll call it [URL]) in a subfolder. I named it default.aspx like I was supposed to and it worked flawlessly on the dev site. When I published it out the web, I wound up getting the following error when trying to get to the subfolder: [URL] Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed. Confused and flustered, I tried to go to [URL], but I wound up with some error that won't tell me the problem. Instead it tells me to change the my web.config to read <customErrors mode="Off"/>.
While creating virtual directory in IIS i am gettin "Failed to Access IIS metabase" problem can anybody help me regarding this issue
View 2 RepliesI want to ask about how to create a setup project for asp.net web application
In a way that the .cs files didn't appear when executing the setup
Like when you publish a web site only the aspx files appear and the dlls no cs files
I have a web app and a web setup project in VS2010. By default, when I install my web app using my web setup project, in the Installation Address folder dialog window, the default Application Pool is DefaultAppPool. It has been stated in the MSDN documentation that we can change this default TARGETAPPPOOL, say to "ASP.NET V2.0". Here is the excerpt from MSDN... "The Application Pool list shows the available application pools on the target computer, and the default setting is named DefaultAppPool. To change the default application pool in your Web setup projects, you can use a post-build action to update the name of the application pool in the MSI." Is there anybody in the group knows the syntax on setting the TargetAppPool to another pool that exists in IIS, e.g., ASP.NET V4.0 CLASSIC?
View 1 RepliesI have a team currently working on a Web Application project, we want to be able to run the project through our local IIS web servers and let each dev map it to whatever virtual directory they like.Currently every time we check in we are stomping on each others virtual dir settings in th cs proj file.I know we could just agree on a virtual directory and stick with it but that does not solve another problem I am having with this where I actually keep multiple copies of the repository on my machine and want to be able to map each to a separate virtual directory.
So the result we are looking for would look like this:Dev1 has a checkout at say c:/dev/Webapp mapped to a virtual dir on their local IIS say localhost/WebAppThen Dev 2 has a checkout at say c:/workspace1/WebApp mapped to a virtual dir say localhost/workspace1/MyWebAppAND Dev 2 has a checkout at say c:/workspace2/WebApp mapped to a virtual dir say localhost/workspace2/WebAppPS. The reason Dev 2 has two checkout is because he uses on for active dev work and the other for merging between branches.

View 1 RepliesI have a WCF service in a virtual directory that is called in the code behind of a page that is in the parent directory, when i debug the code i can see the wcf service is being called, however when the service calls Membership.GetUser() it alway returns null. The user has already logged in to the asp.net site. When i call the service via jquery it does pick up the correct user, but i need to be able to call it via the code behind as well. I am developing in .Net 3.5 how i can make the Wcf pick up the logged in user?
View 3 RepliesAs virutal directory points to physical path of the application, so if the IIS root directory is C:inetpubwwwroot and the application is stored at D:websites, than we need to create a virtual directory but if the application content is placed at C:inetpubwwwroot, then why still need to create virtual directory.
View 3 RepliesSo bit the bullet and installed vs2010 finally. However, when loading an existing vs2008 project, I am getting this error: "The project type is not supported by this installation." the only thing special about this project is that it's a "web application projects" type. what I've tried so far are these steps, but none of these solve my problem:
(1) run "devenv /setup"
(2) regsvr32.exe "%ProgramFiles%Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7IDEProjectAggregator.dll"
We're having the same setup and receiving the same problem as:
[URL]
Setup
Server 2003 32bit, IIS 6
ASP.NET wild card mapping
A virtual directory mapped to an UNC share serving static images for a CMS in a load balancing environment
My question if it's possible to turn off asp.net from virtual and only serve static files e.g. images in the virtual directory, to avoid the problem with too many open connections?
If it's not possible I'll guess I have to implement a solution like [URL] to server the files from a local disc.
I found a possible solution at [URL] that removes the wild card mapping and makes it possible to turn of execution of asp.net files.

View 2 Repliesi need an intaller program that allows me to write code(c# or vb.net) to be executed during the installation. the reason is that i want to check if the current account does have writing permission or not. if she is not then the installation should get aborted. also the installer should create a default uninstaller.
if you specify many it would be great so i can look for them in the market since not every software available here.

View 1 RepliesI hope you can answer the following question for me. I have a server with win 2008 installed and a simple asp.net application that is successfully sending a email through System.Net.Mail.Smtpclient("localhost").Now my 1st question is, how exactly is this mail sent if there is no Default Smtp Virtual Server installed?Next question...I get an error when I try to send an email that is larger than around 4MB. I know this is to do with the limit that is specified on the server but where is this limit set?
Third Question...fter installing a new Smtp Virtual Server #1 in the IIS6 console, I am able to see and change the file size limit on email but I cannot work out for the life of me how to send emails from my asp.net application through this smtp virtual server.Obviously the best fix for me would be to work out where the default smtp server is and how to manage it rather than installing another one and then trying to route all applications through this new virtual server.When I think I set it all up correctly I get the old "Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for (email address)", ie I have given my new virtual smtp server a unique ip and port number and changed the Smtp E-mail page within IIS to point to this new server.
I am working on a setup package that installs a web site on IIS7 and IIS6. I've already made it for IIS7, now I need to make it for IIS6. But I am working under windows 7 so I can't install IIS6 on it. Any way, I have to test my setup project. What are the ways to do it (preferrably free and legal ;) ) ? I can think of a remote connection to a machine that already has IIS6 and using a virtual machine, for example virtualbox.org . But even though virtualbox.org is free, WinXP with IIS6 isn't ;) .

I have an ASP.Net MVC app, and i have some xsl files inside of the Content directory.I've try a few methods to get directory dynamically buy keep on coming short.So how do i get the directory to point to the Content/xsl folder?the closest that i came to was with this:this.GetType().Assembly.CodeBase
which only returns the project DLL, but i can't figure out how to move up a few levels from there or what .net library to use to navigate around the path.there's no ../.. :(Basically i want to navigate to the Content/xsl folder which is at the same level of the Bin directory.
I set up a Virtual Directory called 'Site'. I browse to [URL].In the source file, the relative paths are coded as '/Page1.aspx', for example, and it has worked in the past.I'm using Win XP Pro SP3 and IIS 5.1. Any ideas on what might be causing this behavior?
