Share Application Variable Between 2 Websites (IIS 7.5)?
Oct 31, 2010
I have two urls that are supposed to lead to the same actual folder.
I can't do a redirect because the websites are built so they question the URL and perform accordingly.
So I built two application in the IIS (I tried using a virtual directory for one of them, but I kept crashing on the web.config can not be read). Everything works perfectly except the Application variables which are different between the two addresses. (Specificly I'm counting the number of current users logged on).
There is a website with a master-page, set of css-files,... menus. It is necessary to implement another one that will have same (or at least very similar) look-and-feel. And also it is necessary to have look-and-feel in sync.
I've tried to find for appropriate solution (at least idea, not implementation) in the internet but didn't find anything.
use an additional project (class library) that will contain an implementation of the master-page and all its comnponents (menus, images, css, etc will be stored as resources), this project will be refferenced from all web-sites that need to sare look-and-feel.
We have about 70 sites on our server that use same application (with different Application Pools) and they use for example a shared skin file. So is there a way to load this file to memory and share for all applications? what I mean is to sharing cache in multiple websites to decrease pressure on server.
But on secondpage.aspx i am not able to access value of session["catagory"] that means it have stored null value automatically. How I will access it....
I have hosted my web forms files and reports files two different IIS instance in same server. When user login i keep username inside session variable. According to that session variable i checking roles each web forms page load event. i share session variable between two difereent IIS instance in same server?
I have some common dlls that are referenced by both a windows service application and a asp.net web application. I don't want to make separate copies of the dlls and I also don't want to put those dlls into GAC. I try to put that service application under the same root folder as the web application so that they can share the same bin folder. I am not quite sure if this will cause any problems? I did find the web application had random session timeout, but not very often. Not sure if it was caused by the shared dlls.
I have a web.config file defined in my asp.net web application. I have many different settings configured there. I have another project, this time a console application. I'd like to read several configurations from my web.config file. How can this be done?
My company took some old php application over. Due to our preference to ASP.net and to the lack of any documentation from the previous developer, we do not want to spend much resources on developing in PHP. For implementing new features, we will create an Asp.net application that has the same look to the user. We want to develop a kind of 'coexisting' web application. Therefore we must share sessions between an PHP and an Asp.net webapplication project, because there is a usermanagement involved with an existing MySQL database.
(e.g. link 'A' directs to the PHP website, and link 'B' directs to the asp.net application)
How can we share the session between and PHP and an asp.net application?
And does anyone have a hint for this 'coexisting' thing, that might be useful in development?
In my present project I have to open one site through my asp.net application and this site I have to control. And after that if we close the site the application master page should display. How I can accomplish the requirement .Any ideas will be very useful for me to start thinking on those lines.
I would like to create a web application that gives an overview of all latests builds of a Team Foundation Server (TFS). The original idea was to simply query the TFS for all these builds and display the results using html. Now the problem is that this is just too slow. It takes around a minute to get the required informtion. I can't inluence this, it is just given. So I came up with the idea of caching. I could cache all results for a certain period of time and then invalidate the cache but as soon as the cache expires someone that uses the application will have to wait again which is not that nice.
The Team Foundation Server is able to notify whenever a new build is available. So basically the idea is that the application could react on that notification. In order to be notified I have to write a web service and register it with the TFS. That worked pretty well so far. The web service is now notified whenever a new build is done. Now I would like to connect my web application to the web service and whenever the web service is notified by the TFS update the cache of the web application. Here starts the problem. How can this be achieved? First I thought that the web service could fire a .NET event and the web application could react on that event but that does not seem to be possible. The next idea was that both the web service and the web application could use the same cache. The web service could then directly update the cache with the build information it receives from the Team Foundation Server but I am not even sure if this works.
Can a web service and a web application share the same cache? The web service doing something like Cache.Add("key", buildInfo) and the web application buildInfo = Cache["key"]. If not what other approach could be used to solve such a scenario?
We are implementing some business functionality that it exposed through the asp.net web service. At the current stage user interface is required for some peace of it and we are going to implement it inside of already existing desktop application (it is MFC C++ application, but we are considering to integrate some WinForms/Wpf components). In the nearest future we plan to replace current desktop application with a web site version (it will be asp.net web site, or PROBABLY Silverlight application). Therefore, I would like to implement UI once on the web site and just re-use it in some way from desktop application. Am I clear enough? Is there any way to do that? For sure, I can implement web service and use it from desktop application right now and re-use it from web application when it will be required... But I hope there is a better way to do that.
I have one website over at utopiapimp.com. The website is used for a popular web based game. Some company internets don't allow the website to be accessed so I opened up another domain at utopiashrimp.com. Same website but a different iss application. Both have same database backends. They also both sit on the same virtual machine. I put my brand new code on shrimp and solve bugs with that code. I host the solid code on pimp. So I can't just forward the shrimp domain to pimp because I need a test bed.
The problem is that they don't share the same application cache. So my question is, can two websites share the same application cache? I really need to figure this out. I would rather not create a webservice and or a handler that one website needs to hit to change the cache on the other application.
In this asp.net web application, users can upload files to the server through a web interface. All the uploaded files are save in a server side folder. If I want to create a new win form desktop client (actually, its a WPF application) which can be used to upload files to that same server side folder as web interface does, how can I share that server side folder with that win form client?
the account we use to copy/publish websites to our web server is not allowing us access to push websites. I've added this account to the permissions in the links listed in the below link, but i don't have success when trying to push remotely. When the account is in the local admins account, everything works flawlessly, but we are not allowed to have it in there. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/31be047e-4716-4974-b8a1-be0111b50199 I've googled and searched a lot for this particular error, but am not finding an answer that helps. We get this error, 'Unable to create the Web 'http://edea01/test/planning'. You are not authorized to perform the current operation', and the above link is the scenario that matches mine the most. I don't do develompment work, but am asked to figure out this connection problem.
I have more then 75 web application live on multiple surver and now I want to have single login(form authentication) for all. Anonymous user can access all the network but once login, they can manipulate info across network without login again and again.
I am showing thumbnail images in dataList on a page of my website. When i click on any image they open in big size. How i will share(Facebook). that particular big size image. My code is given below:
<script type="text/javascript"> var CurrentPage = 1; function GetImageIndex(obj) { while (obj.parentNode.tagName != "TD") obj = obj.parentNode; var td = obj.parentNode;
I have problem in maintaining the application objects in the server when it is deployed in the web farm.In our application i'm storing the sessionID and and the column value ( "tvktnx55vl5mzr453dmaehit " + "A101" ) in arraylist and storing it in application object. when i test this it is ok. but when we deploy it we have one issue that is we cannot share the application object in web farm.
I Want To Use A Session Variable From One Application to Another Application. Is That Possible in ASP.NET 3.5 Or Greater To Use Session Variables As i Required. My Both Applications Host In Same IIS Server.
I have an ASP.NET MVC application that attempts to read a file in using a filestream and File.OpenRead(). When the path to the file is a share on the same workgroup, and I give access to NETWORK SERVICE for the share, this works perfectly as desired.
However, when the path to the share is a UNC path to a remote share within the LAN, with read permissions open for "Everyone", the "File.OpenRead()" method throws an exception saying "Could not find a part of the path".
In my test cases I'm debugging locally with the ASP.NET MVC app being given a UNC path to the computer that it's actually running on. It's a share on my C drive, being "Shared" with permissions to "Everyone" for read access.
Is there something in IIS that needs to be configured? If I try to impersonate, in this context, the impersonation doesn't matter because NETWORK SERVICE was the user trying to access the files when it worked for a share in the same workgroup.
I'm using a 3rd party web service in my ASP.NET application. Calls to the 3rd party web service have to be synchronized, but ASP.NET is obviously multi-threaded and multiple page requests could be made that result in simultaneous calls to the 3rd party web service. Calls to the web service are encapsulated in a custom object. My thought is to store the object in an application variable and use the C# lock keyword to force synchronized use of it.
I'm nervous, because I'm new to multi threaded concepts and I've read that you shouldn't lock a public object (which my application variable effectively is). I've also read that if the locked block of code fails (which it could if the web service fails), then it could destabilize the app domain and bring down the application.I should mention that the 3rd party web service is rarely used in my website and it's going to be rare that 2 requests to it are made at the same time.Here's a rough code sample of how I'd make calls to the web service:
