View 1 RepliesI recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
<div class='<asp:Literal ID="CssClassLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>'>
It doesn't see this literal when it does the conversion... Is the above valid code or should I implement that functionality another way?

View 1 RepliesI have a web project running fine with IIS 6, when I try to run this project in IIS 7 Integrated mode I am having all kind of problems with global.asax, it appears to me if any of the following objects or properties is access in Application_Start, exception will be thrown: HttpContext.Current.RequestHttpContext.Current.Reponse HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode The exception will be something like:Response is not available in this context.I have no ideas why this happens. I am not even sure if it only happens in Application_Start since project could not execute. Also there might be more objects causing other problems that I haven't encountered yet.

View 4 RepliesI create a new ASP.NET MVC 2 project with Visual Web Developer 2010 a while back. After some testing, I realized that the built-in development server is too slow for proper testing, so I decided to switch to IIS. I created a new IIS website that points to my project on disk, and configured it to use the .NET 4 application pool. Many problems arose from this:
If I open the solution file in VWD, then clean the project, IIS gives me a "Could not load type: ***" where *** is my global.asax class name.If I open the IIS website in VWD and then try to build the project, I get the same error.If I open the solution file in VWD, build the project, then open the IIS website in VWD, and then build, the build is successful. However, whenever I make a change in the code and then build again, my change is simply ignored (it seems to only be using the assembly that was compiled when I built it as a solution). When I open the IIS website in VWD, and start debugging, the debugger does not catch requests to the IIS website.My guess is that when I open the IIS website in VWD, it outputs the built assemblies to a directory that IIS is not aware of. Is there a way I can configure it to output everything to the bin directory instead? Or am I doing something wrong?

View 7 RepliesI am new to ASP.NET MVC, and the ASP.NET technology in general, so, please, excuse the stupidity of my questions. I have a lot of experience with php development and CMS customization (Drupal and Wordpress mainly), and I wanted to know whether some techniques could be applied in asp.net mvc. I want to know what exactly could be modified without recompiling an already built application
Can I edit the views without recompiling the app. Can I create custom themes ?Can I add plugins compiled as dlls and use them at runtime. Can I "mark" the assembly in such a way that the web application will check on the next request and will reference it, without me manually adding it to the project and recompiling. I've heard that this is possible.
I will make sure to add more when something comes up. The reason I am asking is because I'd like to try and develop a Drupal-like CMS (custom types, views, etc) in asp.net mvc. The dynamism of php will be quite a challenge to replicate in a compiled technology, yet I am ready to try.
Is there any good CMS for ASP.NET like drupal, joomla ?
View 2 RepliesI got the first beta of WebMatrix, downloaded Drupal, and got a site more or less going. I then tried to move it to two different hosts - first the IIS server running on my own domain controller, then to my hosting service. I dumped the DB with mysqldump, and imported it to the databases running on each server. Then I ftp'd the code and configuration files to both servers, and made appropriate configuration changes (primarily the mysql connect string).On both servers I have the same problem: The site comes up in its home page and looks great, but as soon as I log in as the site admin, I get a 404 (not found) error. Since it looks like virtually everything in Drupal is driven from the database, I really haven't the faintest idea where to start debugging this.

I'm getting close to finishing a public-facing ASP.Net app and I'm starting to weigh deployment options. I'm an ASP.Net/SQLServer veteran but noob when it comes to Azure. I'm wondering how others have felt about the learning curve to effectively migrate a local dev ASP.Net/SQLServer apps into Azure cloud. More specifically:How steep is the learning curve towards understanding administration and programming concepts, and do you think it's worth the investment?What is Microsoft's support like if I have catastrophic problems from my cloud infrastructure and my live site is down? My expectation is a large price tag for a not-so-urgent SLA.Will my non-Azure ASP.Net app require significant modification and/or coupling to run in the Azure environment?
View 4 RepliesI have upgraded my web site from 2.0 to 3.5 using VS2008 (loaded the project and selected 'yes' to the upgrade prompt), then deployed to the Live server. On the test system the website runs fine, on the Live, it fails with 'Assembly binding' (System.Core, System.Web.Extensions, and more) errors. When I commented out all the failed assemblies (just to see what happens) I got the error: 'csc.exe' cannot be found. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? 1. Is my upgrade method wrong? 2. Is there another way to upgrade? 3. How can I tell why the assemblies fail to bind?

some automated tools to help in migrating classic ASP to ASP.NET I tried to install "ASP to ASP.NET 1.x Migration Assistant" from the link below but it encountered a problem during installation.

View 6 RepliesWe are in design phase of a project whose goal is replatforming an ASP classic application to ASP.Net 4.0. The system needs to be entirely web based. There are several new requirements for the new system that make this a challenging project:
The system needs to be database independent. It must, at version 1.0, support MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres and DB2. The system must be able to allow easy reporting from the database by third party reporting packages. The system must allow an administrative end user to create their own tables in the database through the web based interface. The system must allow an administrative end user to design/configure a user interface (web based) where they can select tables and fields in the system (either our system's core tables or their own custom tables created in #3) The system must allow an administrative end user to create and maintain relationships between these custom created tables, and also between these tables and our system's core tables. The system must allow an administrative end user to create business rules that will enforce validation, show/hide UI elements, block certain actions based on the identity of specific users, specific user groups or privileges.
Essentially it's a system that has some core ticket tracking functionality, but allows the end user to extend the interface, business rules and the database. Is this possible to build in a .Net, Web based environment? If so, what do you think the level of effort would be to get this done? We are currently a 6 person shop, with 2.5 full time developers.
I know very little, and even less about .dll's. I have a fairly simple albeit old, application that references a .dll that seems to do the logic for connecting to an access backend. I don't have the source code for the dll, but I don't see any code anywhere elese to sigify the dataconnections etc. When I move the application from an old IIS6 server .net 1.0, over to a newer IIS7 server with .net 2.0osmething, I errors out (see below). When I remove the reference to the dll, the login pages comes up okay but I just can't login. So, something is up with my DLL. What do I need to do?

You have a SQL Database with legacy data.
New functional requirements stipulate that what was once a one to many relationship is now a many to many relationship. The relationship comprises a simple lookup table
How does one manage the migration of data from the old structure to the new???
I have the following script which will move the data from/to the right tables:

What i'm wondering is, once i have run the script to copy the data across, do people recommend that the LegacyTable.LookUpPK_ID field be deleted permanently?

We have investigated plain SQL, Linq, Entity Framework as alternatives... but all result in more complex solutions.

Recently I moved my developing environment (Visual Studio 2005) on Windows 7. I followed the steps for migrating from IIS6 to IIS7, but when I try to start debug my web project I receive the error message:
"Unable to start debugging on web server. Debugging failed because integrated Windows authentication is not enabled."
In my project's web.config I have
<httpModules><add
name="WindowsAuthentication"
type="System.Web.Security.WindowsAuthenticationModule"
/></httpModules>
What else should I do?
We have a few settings in our web application that can be user configured. As IIS exposes helpers for configuring "Connection Strings" and "Application Settings" we decided to take use this method of configuration.
Unfortunately this works by editing the Web.config file deployed in the web application. This means that a simple upgrade process of copying over the files from a newer web application release resets all configuration settings to the default.
Possible options:
When upgrading the webapp, backup the Web.config and restore it afterwards. This is not elegant and if the latest webapp defines new default-valued properties in the Web.config then this will break Write some admin-only configuration pages on the site and store the values in the DB. This puts the control back in our hands, but it will take work to write this and obviously has bootstrapping problems with connection strings.
