I would like to create a webpage that will be able to monitor if an application (process) is running.
I would also like the ability to start an application (process) if it is not. Where would I even start?
I have built a web page that does a complex processing, and I realized recently that I need to convert it to a windows service running at the background and keeping the web page for monitoring and initiating the service.
The service will process some files, and provides information messages to the user.
I'm not sure how to implement the link between the windows service and the web site, but i was trying to avoid using MSMQ to connect both application together.
isnt there performance analysis tools that i can use to monitor and trouble shoot things like timeout expired (slow query execution)?
I mean is there a way for me to monitor the query performance as it is run from the webpage. It runs perfectly in the SMS but it's slow when it's running from the webpages so it throws Timeout expired exception.
How to set A web Page Layout(automattically) according to monitor resoulation using jquery
View 3 RepliesI have a producer-consumer scenario in ASP.NET. I designed a Producer class, a Consumer class and a class for holding the shared objects and responsible for communication between Producer and Consumer, lets call it Mediator. Because I fork the execution path at start-up (in parent object) and one thread would call Producer.Start() and another thread calls Consumer.Start(), I need to pass a reference of Mediator to both Producer and Consumer (via Constructor). Mediator is a smart class which will optimize many things like length of it's inner queue but for now consider it as a circular blocking queue. Producer would enqueues new objects to Mediator until the queue gets full and then Producer would block. Consumer dequeues objects from Mediator until there's nothing in the queue. For signaling between threads, I implemented two methods in Mediator class: Wait() and Pulse(). The code is something like this:
Class Mediator
{
private object _locker = new object();[code]....
Inside Mediator I use this.Pulse() every time something is Enqueued or Dequeued so waiting threads would be signaled and continue their work.But I encounter deadlocks and because I have never used this kind of design for signaling threads, I'm not sure if something is wrong with the design or I'm doing something wrong elsewhere ?
Can I objectively determine if my production ASP.NET web application is resetting its application pool? It could be for whatever reason (for example, an error occurred or memory topped off). I don't have direct access to my production servers, so when I want something on the server, I have ask specifically for it like PerfMon counters to run. It is a running IIS 6.0. I understand that I could use PerfMon to catch ASP.NET Application Restarts. If I was not monitoring that PerfMon, is there anything that can tell me the application restarted sometime in the past?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to register the route collection in .net based on each session. The code I have works fine, you goto website/username and it loads the correct sub pages, but you have to restart the application to goto website/username2 to load those sub pages. But when the application is restarted the second one works, but then not the first one. Is there some way to create a different route collection per session not per application using system.web.routing.
View 3 RepliesI want to implement a response time monitor in a ASP.Net application. This monitor has to calculate the average response time during 2 secs. Whats the performance counter i can use. I tried ASP.NET ApplicationsRequests/Sec but did not work. Whats the best way to do this. I am using the default server formed by VS2005 for development, does this affect the performance counter programming?
Where should I implement the logic? Global.ASAX? in every 2 sec i want to check this value and make some decisions.
In addition, what are the parameters I can alter in a ASP.Net application at runtime to improve perfromance. How can I change them?
I would like to start a System.Threading.Timer in my application when it launches (maybe deploy is the correct word). I have seen that you can use Application_Start() but this is only fired once the first request comes to the application. I need the timer to start as soon as the application is running so that it can check for work to process even if a user is not interacting with the site. How can I get the application to start the timer once it is up and running?
View 4 RepliesIn our ASP.NET application we perform some initializations upon the Application Start event.When the application is started in visual Studio 2010 with 'Debug->Start new instance' the ASP.NET Development server does not start new, and my Application's Start event is not fired.My workaround is to manually stop the development server - is there a setting to force this automatically?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to create a link to an asp.net web page in start menu--->program files? When that link is clicked that page gets opened in the browser.
View 4 RepliesWhat is the right approach when users (authenticated domain admins) should be able to start batch jobs (usually exe files) from an IIS (7.x) aspx (c#) page? This is an intranet site. The batch jobs have to run on the web server as Domain Admins. The website pool is executed by network service or some similar restricted account in AD.
Approaches I can think of (and their disadvantages):
1. Start exe file with System.Diagnostics.Process.Start with another account. This feature is disabled in IIS 7.x, how do I allow it?
2. Create a sheduled task and call scheduled task-api. This unmanaged dll is giving VS compiler warnings because it's unsafe to call from managed code.
3. I suppose there's a better approach, because the previous suggestions doesn't appear safe or robust.
on desktop start has disappeared, getting above issue on double clicking/running any application.have VS2005 installed with sp1 and all other relevant updates as per MS..., i read some forums which states because of VC++ the system files may be currupted....have not installed VC++can anyone guide me the issue here and its solution...
View 3 RepliesI know that ASP.NET MVC has error filter attribute to handle specified error type. However, this feature cannot catch any error that occurs when application start. Therefore, I need to add some code to "Application_Error" method for handling this error like the following code.
public void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{// At this point we have information about the error
var ctx = HttpContext.Current;
var exception = ctx.Server.GetLastError();

I am logged in as the administrator when I installed an application named pdflatex.exe on my server. This application works as a converter from LaTeX input file to Pdf file. I host an Asp.net MVC 3 application running under an Application Pool Identity with Load User Profile = True. The Asp.net MVC 3 code contains a code that executes pdflatex.exe using System.Diagnostic.Process instance as follows:
Process p = new Process();
p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
p.Exited += new EventHandler(p_Exited);
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "-interaction=nonstopmode " + inputpath;
p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"c:mydomain.comworking";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.FileName = "pdflatex.exe";
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
From the scenario above, the web application runs under a restricted acount but it executes an external application under a default account that I don't know. Can an application running under a less privileged account start a process executing another application under an administrative account?
My asp.net application working fine but sometime it suddenly stops and cannot display a page.After restart the PC it works fine again.I am not getting whats the problem. I also restart the IIS then also it not work.
View 6 RepliesI am about to start a new application and am excited about using asp.net mvc and nhibernate. However, the big "problem" is how I handle the user authentication stuff. What are some ways those used to using nhibernate and MVC solve this problem?
My thought is let asp.net do its own thing and I do my own thing database wise. Am curios if I should role my own using the provider model and nhibernate, if I can figure out how. Or is there a way to integrate current code that is in the mvc example into nhibernate?

This function works for me but what happens is all the tabs gets loaded in the application start up itself.Which i don't want to happen. I want something like when the tab is clicked its content should get loaded.
I am developing my application in asp.net 3.5 and sql server 2005, and I want to record the visitor info into my database, like once the visitor enter my website, I'll insert his browser details to the database. [It's not necessary that visitor login my website].
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 ??
application start in global.asax file
View 6 RepliesI am writing an asp.net HTTP module which needs to read configuration data once from a local file (say config.xml stored in application root directory) and then based on configuration perform some processing on incoming requests.
Since there is no Application_Start/Application_init hooking available in Asp.NET modules, what would be the best way to handle the scenario. I am trying to avoid reading configuration file each time a request comes. Ideally, I want to read the config file when application starts.
I need to code this in http module only and do not want to use Global.asax
I have a httpmodule that contains a property.
The httpmodule is used in my web application. I want to set the property in the httpmodule when my application starts and not have the overhead of setting it everytime the module is called.
The value for the application is read from my app settings in the web.config.
The httpmodule resides in a seperate dll to the web application.
So I want to inject/set the property from my web application on application start.
How can I make my application installed in my PC to start(ie., to popup for username and password) when I logged in to my PC, so that I can provide my username and password to the application and log in to it,similarly like gtalk that popsup for username and password once logged in to PC?
View 4 RepliesIn our Application_Start event handler we're performing some actions that intermittently fail due to file locking issues. In this scenario we would like to return the application to an "un-started" state.By this I mean that the user will be shown an error page, and then the next time a user hits the site the Application_Start event will be fired again.
We're using ASP.NET 3.5, WebForms and MVC.
I'm trying to kick off an application within my Programs folder on my web server with this code:

and it's not starting the application but I'm also not getting any errors back from the server. I have made sure that the asp.net user has permissions on the folder, and I can run the application on it's own and it runs fine.
