View 1 RepliesI'm just starting development on a new website and am trying to do it correctly, that is, with a DAL and not with queries in code which I had before. I understand the principles of it all, but I am finding this DAL with table adapters and wizards that do too much to be really messy to work with. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should be using instead and a link to a tutorial on how to get going quickly with it?
View 5 RepliesI am using MS Test to test one of my controller's actions. This method uses the ConfigurationManger to read appSettigns from the web.config. For some reason ConfigurationMangager is not able to find the appsettings.In NUNIT I would just make sure to add a copy of the webconfig file to the test project so that it is available when running in that context. However this is not working for me.

View 1 RepliesI have an asp.net3.5 app. It has multiple client folders in the root folder. There are multiple web.config files. One is in root folder and one each in client folder. The web.config in client folder contains connection string for the database to be connected. I am using FORMS authentication. Each client has a specific page which are lying in root folder. This page redirects to the client specific folder and user logs in the application using the one more login page which is in client folder. And this page uses the connection string which in this client specific folder web.config.Now my problem is that I am not able to connect to the database using the client specific web.config on my live server. Live server is a Windows 2008 Datacenter and IIS7 machine. And my local system is XP IIS6 machine.Please help me to resolve this issue. Or how can I configure my application on IIS 7 &Win2008 DC system in WINDOWS authentication mode?
View 2 RepliesThis is a bizarre behaviour I've just noticed, but very dangerous.I have the following line of code:
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SmartFormsDB"].ConnectionString))
When I run in my dev environment works fine, but when I compile and push my code to the test machine that contains a web.config with a Test DB setting, the test website
still uses my dev connection string. It's behaving as if the connection string was compiled into the binary!

View 3 RepliesI am facing an amazing problem in ASP.NET. I have a website with many sub directories. The sub directories have aspx and aspx.cs files but do not contain web.config files. I am using the web.config file of the parent directory for storing config items for the respective code files in sub directories. But when i m trying to read the web.config using ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[] with absolutely the correct keys, there's no value being returned. Most amazing fact is, this same code works fine in dev enviroment but not in staging.
