is it possible to get physical path to asp.net mvc 2 application inside Global.asax methods?
I need to get that path in Ninject IoC container configuration. This is a sketch of what i'm having now:
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

I have a custom ASP.NET application that I utilize for several clients that I host. Each client has a separate domain and the application is normally a child application under the root domain [URL]. The application files are the same (aspx, ascx, style sheets, images, etc.). The only thing different is the web.config file for each client. As development of the application continues to evolve, I have to update the application for each directory and this obviously becoming tedious. I am trying to come up with a method keep the application up to date. My first though is placing the application into a single physical path and creating multiple applications pointing to that path (the problem with this method is I can't have different web.config files). I am curious as to what solution others are using in this scenario...
View 2 RepliesQuestion: When a webapplication gets started, it executes Application_Start in global.asax.Now, a web application gets started as soon as the first request for a page in that application reaches the server.But my question is: how long will the application run until the application is stopped.I mean when after the first page request, there's no traffic on the server.I need to know because I intend to start a server that listens on a tcp port in global.asax.And when the application stops, the server ceases to listen to its port.

Now I am confused where to put my code, If I put insert function in every page_load then on every page it will execute and I'll not be able to get the exact number of visitor, visited my website. Shall I go with application_start in Global.asax ??

View 5 RepliesI have a need to add an application level event (like Application_Start) but not in global.asax. The reason that I can't use global.asax is because this is a web application for which I don't have source code but I want to add some functionality to it. I need to insert an application start code and was wondering it there was anyway to do it. I'm not sure that if I add a class or aspx page to the sie if it will dynamically compile since this is a web application.

View 2 RepliesNot using Cassini, but IIS7 to run an ASP.NET app.
The debug behavior is flakey. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I was able to step into the application start event in global.asax but sometimes I can't.
Sometimes VS2008 opens the published global.asax so I have two instances of global.asax opened in VS, the source and the published.
I reset the AppDomain and IIS and I can't put my finger on why this is happening.
To add, while it won't go into application start, I have an OnChangeEventHandler event - it does step into the event handler.
I'm using a static Timer in my Global.asax to run a method at regular intervals. When the method throws an exception, my application is stopped. I have used an empty catch to prevent exceptions from stopping the application something like below code. Is there a disadvantage to use such an approach?

I'm working on a new C# web application in Visual Studio 2010, and am having problems reading a value in Web.Debug.Config from the GLobal.asax.cs file.
In the Application_Start event I've got the following code:
Application.Add("AppID", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("AppID"));
I also tried:
Application.Add("AppID", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AppID"]);
And in the Web.Debug.Config file I have the following:
<applicationSettings>
<add key="AppID" value="123" />
</applicationSettings>
I also tried:
<appSettings>
<add key="AppID" value="123" />
</appSettings>
And I tried having it in a file path, like so:
<appSettings file="C:MyPathappSettings.config"/>
When running in debugger, I've got a break-point in the Application_Start event in Global.asax.cs. It hits the break point, but in all cases the value coming back from ConfigurationManager is coming back null. What am I doing wrong?

I know there is a couple answered questions on here regarding "request scoped" globals, but I want to nit-pick on something specifically and maybe squeeze some extra enlightenment out of one or two of you.I have an ASP.NET C# Website and a static Dictionary of objects (loaded from DB once on Application start). Each page request will need to do a lookup in the Dictionary (based on a key derived from the request url/etc) and get the appropriate object.The issue is I'm trying to maximize efficiency by reducing the lookups to the Dictionary per Request. Doing just a single lookup within a Page itself is easy enough and I can pass the object to sub controls, etc too.. but global.asax is separate from the Page and it also needs to use the object (in Application_BeginRequest and Session_Start).
So is doing a Dictionary lookup once in Application_BeginRequest, once (when necessary) in Session_Start and once in the Page negligible speed wise, even if there are many requests coming in every second?I would like it if I could just have a Request scoped global variable that I can easily call upon.. the only one I see available though is HttpContext.Current.Items and that is a Dictionary itself.Am I beingridiculously nit-picky with my concern over efficiency? or will these milliseconds (nanoseconds?) get me in the long run when more and more requests are being made?
PS. I currently only have around 100 objects in the Dictionary although this may increase in the future.
I am trying to convert the virtual path to a physical path but don't seem to have Server.MapPath or HttpServerUtility.MapPath available in my handler. I add the System.Web namespace with no luck.
string virtualTargetFolder = String.Format("~/UserImages/{0}/Images/", user.ProviderUserKey.ToString());
string physicalTargetFolder = System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath (virtualTargetFolder);

View 3 RepliesWhen debugging my application, I m getting an application level error in global.asax file. The Server.GetLastError() reads "File does not exist." but thats it. No more details on the filename or the location where the code is trying to find a file. I commented out the application_error method, with a hope that the exception would be thrown when the debug the application, but no errors were thrown. How do i find the source of the error, cos I want to resolve this issue by either putting the file that the application is looking for or by completely removing the code that is referencing the file.

View 8 RepliesMy basic question is, can a virtual directory in IIS point to a physical path that's not on the local machine? For instance, right now I have a virtual path /NaturalGasReport/NYMEX which points to physical path C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX, but I want it to point to a physical path on a difference PC on the same network. Is this possible? (I know I can just try it out so I apologize for asking but I thought it would be best to get an explanation along with "yes" or "no"). If you want more detail, this is what I need to do. To make a long story short, because of a vendor product we are using that won't run on a 64-bit operating system, I have to run a program called Generate_NGReportData.vbs (it's a vbscript program) on a PC I will call 28. It uses a vendor product which produces jpg files which are graphs of the Natural Gas market. The machine where I wish it could run is called RTEST01 but this machine runs a 64-bit OS and the components won't work there. RTEST01 has the databases. So, I created a datasource on 28 which points to RTEST01's database. The vbs program will read the data, generate the reports, and write one row to a database table on RTEST01. RTEST01 has to run the complimentary program which sends these reports (via email). 28 is not an email server so it can't email the reports. So on RTEST01 I will run Send_NaturalGasReport.vbs. This program creates an email body of html. The html references [URL]NaturalGasReport/NYMEX/" & Day(nymex_update_dt) & ".jpg which is a virtual directory pointing to C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX. I need it to point to the folder and files on 28.So if my initial question has a simple yes answer then I am all set. If not, examine my architecture and propose an alternative solution.

I'm trying to get my company to move to ASP.NET MVC and away from classic ASP. I've written some sample applications as proof-of-concept but now I'm running into problems as I try to deploy these mvc applications to my company's IIS7 server. My System Administrator says that there is something in ASP.NET MVC that is preventing him from having a UNC path specified as the server's physical path to the site folder. This sounds ridiculous to me because (to my knowledge) the MVC Framework doesn't have any effect on this setting... nor does the code I write. The bottom line is this: if any of my mvc applications are to be used for clients, they have to run on a server using a UNC physical path. Currently, the mvc apps will work when the server has a non UNC path... just not with a UNC path.
Am I wrong to tell the System Admin that it isn't MVC that's mucking up his UNC paths? Is there I resource you guys know of that I can use to research this problem? Edits:
