I tried to install MVC2 RC AspNetMVC2_RC_VS2008.exe [URL]? aiming it to use from VS2008SP1(Windows XP Pro SP3) but initially I got an error: Component Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 has failed to install with the following error message: "A different version of ASP.NET MVC 2 is already installed on your system. Please uninstall this version before proceeding with this install." The following components were not installed:
- Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2008 Tools The following components failed to install:
- Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2
By my distraction in "Add/Remove Programs" I deleted the entry "Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2" instead of
"Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2008 Tools" (told me by error text) and then succesfully installed
AspNetMVC2_RC_VS2008.exe Now I see entries in "Add/Remove Programs":
- Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2
- Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2008 Tools
- Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2010 Tools
Well, it was the same before uninstall/install. I know that only MVC2 Preview can be used with VS 2010 and I gues that I uninstalled MVC2 Beta that was installed before for VS2008. Now I am in doubt: Had I installed MVC2 RC or what do I have with VS2008? How can I determine/check which release of MVC2 is installed with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (or VS2010 Pro Beta 2)?
We have a Citrix .ica file icon that will be placed on a web page. Is there a way to detect if a pc has the Citrix client installed?
Our end goal is to display a message at the bottom of the page with a link to install the Citrix client from our network share. But we only want to the message to display if the client pc doesn't have the Citrix client installed.
I have winxp sp3 home ed. I have installed vs2008 and sp1 and verified this. I tried to install sql server 2008 and keep getting an error saying cant continue because A previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on this computer. Upgrade Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to the SP1 before installing SQL Server 2008. vs2008 SP1 is installed and why isnt this been detected ? I read I need to I read I need windows installer 4.5 but I have already installed this.
how to detect the framework versions installed on a server without access to remote desktop or registry? Our server is hosted by Go Daddy and we have limited access, so I wondered if there was a way programatically (in VB if possible)to see the highest or all framework versions installed on the server.
I have few confusions about build. What is release build and debug build? What are the output files for these builds? I had seen debug and release folders in bin folder. So the respective output goes into the respective folder? elaborate release and debug build. I dont want the difference.
Visual Studio 2008 I have web application in production where Web project is using Business project (.dll). Now i have made some changes in Business and need to move, say business.dll, to production. I am changing the version number of new business dll. While deploying it is giving error (System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly... ) and web project is not able recognige business.dll becuase version has changed now. I do not want to release web project as there are no changes there.
i have a method that creates a thumbnail image from a fileinfo object thats an image.
so basically my method takes a FileInfo as a paramter, creates a nwe image, saves it and actually returns the FileInfo (no idea why - it doesn't really need to)
I want to delete the Fileinfo object (aka the file in the temp storage directory) after the image has been created but when i try to run fi.Delete() i get an error saying it can't because its being used by another process.
whats the solution to this? is it possible to delete this file in the same thread or am i going to have to create a service that runs on a schedule and cleans this folder.
What about creating a new fileinfo pointing to the current fileinfo and deleteing that?
We have an ASP.Net MVC solution built in VS2008 and TFS2008. We use TFS Build and use Continuous Integration.We have a deployment pipeline that enables us to progress a build, eventually, to our live site...
Internal Dev (immediate deployment following a build) External Dev (used by internal testers to make sure it works on the production server) External Test (used by our client to test themselves) Live (self explanatory).
I have 2 questions relating to thisWhich ones of these should be built in Debug and which in Release?How should I write my TFSBuild.proj files to cope with this strategy?
this is used when loading certain assets (swf files) by being appended as a querystring parameter and ensures that when debugging a cached version isn't received but is manageable once released.
However, after what I believed should be compiling a relase build, the version is still being set as a Guid indicating I'm not achieving a release build yet. I've checked the web.config and the value of debug is changed to false so I'm assuming I'm missing some setting in the aspnet_compiler.exe arguments, but I cant find anything which indicates such in the documentation.
I wish to compile my asp.net MVC application using aspnet_compiler.exe from the comandline to speed up cold startup.
I'm wondering how it determines if it should do a release or debug build. Is it always release? Does it depend on what the web.config file says when you run aspnet_compiler.exe?
What happens to an application that's been compiled w/ aspnet_compiler.exe if someone changed the debug attribute in the web.config file after it has been published?
What is a good approach to managing a debug and release connection string in a .NET / SQLServer application? I have two SQL Servers, a production and a build/debug and I need a method of switching between the two when my ASP.NET application is deployed. Currently I simply store them in the web.config and comment one or the other out, however that is error prone when deploying.
I'm on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5 I have set up two web applications on the web site; one for the debug-build and one for the release-build for our system. I have not been able to figure out how to setup the two web applications so that they do not share the same native module.
When I access the debug-application (http://dev1/debug) it loads "G:workspaces ewreposdebuginRXWeb.dll" and the site works fine. However, when I access the relase-application (http://dev1/release) it also loads the "G:workspacesewreposdebuginRXWeb.dll" which is not want I want. I want it to load the "G:workspacesewreposeleaseinRXWeb.dll". Apart from that the relase-application works fine, loading for example its own database, javascript-files, images and so on.
I have tried many different configuration but obviously there is something I do not understand.
These are the changes I have made to applicationHost.config:
Under the section <globalModules> the following to rows are added at the end:
<add name="RXDebug" image="g:workspaces ewreposdebuginRXWeb.dll" /> <add name="RXRelease" image="g:workspaces ewrepos eleaseinRXWeb.dll" /> The web.config for the debug-application looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration>............
I am working on an ASP.NET web app using Visual Studio 2008 and a third-party library.
Things are fine in my development environment. Things are also good if the web app is deployed in Debug configuration. However, when it is deployed in Release mode, SerializationExceptions appear intermittently, breaking other functionality.
In the Windows event log, the following error can be seen:
"An unhandled exception occurred and the process was terminated.
Message: Unable to find assembly 'MyThirdPartyLibrary, Version=1.234.5.67, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89'.
StackTrace: at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryAssemblyInfo.GetAssembly() at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectReader.GetType(BinaryAssemblyInfo assemblyInfo, String name) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectMap..ctor(String objectName, String[] memberNames, BinaryTypeEnum[] binaryTypeEnumA, Object[] typeInformationA, Int32[] memberAssemIds, ObjectReader objectReader, Int32 objectId, BinaryAssemblyInfo assemblyInfo, SizedArray assemIdToAssemblyTable)
[code]....
Using FUSLOGVW.exe (i.e., Assembly Binding Log Viewer), I can see the problem is that IIS attempts to find MyThirdPartyLibrary in directory C:windowssystem32inetsrv. It seemingly refuses to look in the bin folder of the web app, where the DLL is actually located.
I'm editing my web.release.config file for production. I want the web.config file changed after a publish. I found how to change the web.config by using the web.release.config file properly, but not for this particular component.
I have an application that uses various script files. These files are not used for any AJAX purposes. However, I am using MS AJAX Libraries. My goal is to use the ScriptManager to manage release and debug versions of my JavaScript. Is this the right approach? Is there a better way to handle this task?
any way to deploy code with both release and debug mode together. I know it is logically impossible.
My requirement is to deploy debug based aspx page(for temporary) in release mode build in prod.. the concept is to avoid to put full release build on production again & again.
I use SmtpClient to send email. I want to ensure that the SMTP connection gets closed after each message is sent. I found an explanation of how to do this in the SmtpClient documentation on MSDN:
[URL]
One thing it says is: Call Dispose when you are finished using the SmtpClient. The Dispose method leaves the SmtpClient in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the SmtpClient so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the SmtpClient was occupying.
I have a question about the last part. What exactly does "release all references" mean. How do I do that?
