I'm a C# programmer and I love the language. I think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Recently I have become real interested in creating a website that offers jobs and allows companies to post jobs for people to navigate through.
This is going to be a nationwide site only, no international connections.
I'm somewhat familiar with ASP.NET (I've used it before for a much smaller pet project) but I wouldn't say I'm more than a

I have absolutely zero experience hosting a website or even registering a domain. I'm familiar with HTML and making applications in XAML for WPF has given me a much easier time understand things that laid out in markup.
Is ASP.NET hosting expensive? Is PHP cheaper? Should I use ASP.NET or PHP?
A customer has asked that we do a dynamic whois lookup on the homepage of their ASP.NET site, based on the IP of the user accessing the site.The implementation would be something like what's described here:
http://www.aspheute.com/english/20000825.asp
However, I noticed that this code connects to whois.networksolutions.com. I am thinking that this may not scale very well if we are initiating a connection to this remote server on every page load.For example, say 1000 different users hit the home page - this would cause a lot of connections to be initiated.
Is it possible to host an ASP.net (MVC in particular, but I'm not sure if that's important) application from a self-hosted WCF service? I don't want to get into IIS, and I'd like to avoid something like Cassini if possible.
I hope, the post is posted where it should be posted.I want to host my website on my IIS webserver so that I can access it on Internet. Could someone provide links for it.
One thing that has always deterred me about using ASP.NET is the cost for hosting was generally is a bit higher then the LAMP environment equivalent (and also a small little thing called WebForms). Now that I can getting back into C# programming, I think I am going to take another look at ASP.NET. ASP.NET MVC seems to have grown since I last look at it (version 1 was still in beta) and it seems like ASP.NET MVC might be the best of both worlds of ASP.NET and PHP. That being I can use C# as my language and template system (like I can with PHP) and not have to deal with the ultra super fantastically craptastical WebForms (can you tell I don't like them? ).
Now I need to find a good hosting provider and have a few requirements to be able to successfully replace my current LAMP hosting. I am going to want a hosting provider that allows me to have both PHP and ASP.NET running on the same IIS server so that I can host both type of projects from my web server (assume it is possible to run both PHP and ASP.NET on the same IIS server at the same time). I am also going to want to use MySQL instead of MSSQL. I am also going to want to be able to install subversion and/or git to host my own repositories. Figuring with all these requirements a shared provider won't cut it and I am probably going to need a virtual dedicated provider and if so I assume that would come with access for remote desktop into the server to allow to be manage it, right? I also want to make sure that it is easy to upgrade (or downgrade) the plan so that I can start off with the cheapest option and upgrade easily if my usage demands it.
Can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable windows server hosting provider that meets these requirements?
I have a gridview I want to populate with an ObjectDataSource.Problem is, when I use the wizard, I cannot find the page the ObjectDataSource belongs to, in the business object list. I can see the classes in the App_Data and App_Code, but I want to use a method in this current page´s codebehind class.
I'm very new in web programming stuff, so my question is about basics. I'm developing a SilverLight application and need to access the database from it. I'm using LINQ to SQL to get data from database and a WFC web service to deliver it to my app. Everything is working fine when I'm running my app within Visual Studio. When trying to publish the web service to IIS - the web service call fails. To make my question simple, I will focus on a brand new web service. Here the steps I'm doing:
Start Visual Studio 2008 -> File -> New -> Project -> Web -> WCF Service Application Project Name: MyWcfService Resulting Visual Studio generates a sample project with implemented Web Service "Service1" Rebuild, start from Visual Studio (host on ASP.NET Development server) --> Everything works fine, I see my service under http://localhost:52489/Service1.svc link Now I want to host this service on my IIS (I've IIS7 on Vista x86 PC) Visual Studio -> right click Project -> Publish -> target location -> Create new web app named "MyWcfService" -> Publish Just to be sure check my C:inetpubwwwroot folder - now it contains the "MyWcfService" subdirectory with all required files. Open IE on my PC http://localhost/MyWcfService/Service1.svc
The result is:
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If > the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map. I were trying to remove "identity" section from web.config - same problem. Switching off the firewall does not help either.
I've just developed WCF Application including a few wcf services in it.When I run the services thru: view in browser, I get a webpage with url: ttp://localhost:4205/myWcfService.svc.I used these name for making add servce refference in y website. It is working well on my localhost.Now, when I want to upload it, how should I upload the WCF Application, and how to connect it ?
I have an MVC 3 app that I created an ASPX view with a Site.Master that hosts a silverlight app. I have to build some initparams to pass into the silverlight app so I have some C# sharp script that I put into the site.master page along with the javascript.
When I access the page I get an error, "The name 'BuildInitParams' does not exist in the current context". It seems it cannot find the script. Below is my code for both the master page and the aspx page. I've tried moving the script into the aspx page itself but got a totally different error that time.
Is there a way to host an ongoing process in IIS? Let's say i'm writing an invoicing web site and every so often I need to send out scheduled invoices. This is really part of my invoicing app and I'd like it to be deployed as part of my invoicing app, by copying files to the web server. I don't want the deployment headaches or the awkward separation that would come with writing this as a Windows Service. Is there a way this can be done in IIS?
Visual Studio 2010. I am learning xml web services using visual studio 2010.
Instead of using the localhost host to run my web services. I am wondering if there are any free hosting websites where I can deploy to. Just to test with.
I was curious if there is a shared hosting platform for asp.net web sites that would allow me to setup a service that would do something at predetermined intervals. Dedicated hosting is not an option due to budget constraints.
So far, it looks like my solution will have to be to set an object in the cache and use the expired callback.
Has any one used the above method? and how successful was it?
Currently I have a large number of xls files that are being shared over a network share. These files are have a copyright on them and have logic embedded in them to manage sales information. Because of the copyright, I can't extract the logic out of them and build an application.
I would like to know if there is a way to develop or purchase a control/app that will allow these xl files to be hosted via a website.
the web server would provide an html front end to manipulate the the xl sheet that resides on the server. Users need to have the ability to modify the file and then save back their changes to the xl sheet (on the server)
I really don't want to give the users the option to SAVE AS either. That will cause the xl sheets to become decentralized and remain on everyones computer.
I have developed a website using ASP.NET/VB + SqlServer 2008 and Dotnetnuke CMS. Now I have to host it on easycgi.com
I have some questions:
How should I restore my db (unfortunately easycgi supports just sqlserver 2005) so what should I do to convert my db to 2005? and what should I do to host my website.
I have one asp.net application which is successfully runnig in hosting...Now we have one more hosting provider there also we deployed the same application..But in our old hosting all the pages are load very quick compare to new hosting.. so i need to see the difference why it load page very slow in new hosting...?So how can we check that its a server problem (or) Traffic (or) network problem (or) any other..
i'm the first servers using sql2005 i connect to the this server from the localhost and host free ok but when the rent is up to the host failed connect
i started creating my website a while back and created it on framework 3.5. But i found out that the hosting company supports version 2.0.
Everything works ok apart from my registration which uses createuserwizard as i get errors with stored procedures which are part of the membership model.
so i have been thinking how can i adjust my webconfig and run aspnetsql.exe against my database on version 2?
