i created a web setup project for my asp.net application. am trying to create an upgrade MSI that will only replace some few files in my initial installation (very minor upgrade). right now, am not getting it right because the whole initial set of files is been replaced. i guess i only need to change the package code, but i cant do this in VS.NET 2008.

In a way that the .cs files didn't appear when executing the setup

I am not new to ASP.Net application development but I haven't used some of the new frameworks or features that are used in applications these days.
For cross-cutting concerns, things like: Logging, Caching and DAAB are used in projects these days to implement proven and efficient source code from either Microsoft or other third party vendors such as Log4Net for logging purposes.

View 2 RepliesI have a Visual Studio 2003 web service project that I have to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008. After I have run the conversion wizard, I get this message: You have completed the first step in converting your Visual Studio .NET 2003 web project. To complete the conversion, please select your projectin the Solution Explorer and choose the 'Convert to Web Application'context menu item.I got this message with another project, which was originally a "web site", rather than an ASP.NET "web application". It made sense to in that case (sort of). Why, however, would I not just want to have this project remain a web service project?Additionally, when I follow the instructions and select "Convert to Web Application" from the context menu, I don't get any feedback that anything has changed. Should it have?

how to create "ASP.Net Web Application" project in VS 2008? (Not Website)
In a Web Application project in VS08, how do you create an assembly? E.g. you derive a class based on HtmlGenericControl to form your own div, override the ClientId and UniqueId properties, so as not to get screwed up id's on the client-side, and then you want to use/reference this control in an aspx page.
refer to David Lively's answer (c# control names) regarding the same thing. I have tried his solution but I keep getting "could not load assembly file".

View 2 RepliesI have been writing c# .net in MVS 2005 conneting to a sql 2005 db, after initial setup about a million years ago, everyhting ran smoothly.

I am wondering if there is a checklist or walk through of steps i need to take to keep connettivity.

My company is looking to upgrade the web server from Server 2003 to 2008 (along with IIS of course). Currenty the websites are built using ASP.NET 3.5 (and a blog in PHP), is there anything that needs to be done to ensure the sites (forget the blog) still work on the new server? I'll no doubt upgrade the sites over time to use .Net 4 or MVC, but for the moment the transition needs to be almost seamless.

View 1 RepliesI've been working on this for a while now and nothing has been a bigger pain in asp.net. I'm trying to implement custom profile fields in my visual studio 2008 web application project. I've read a lot of tutorials but they all seem to be either out dated or don't apply to web application projects. Last night I got a little closer to solving the problem when I found the "Web Profile Builder" for web applications. I've successfully set this up and can handle static profile data.I've got my web.config file setup and I can access my custom profile fields by Profile.CustomField. Now I want to figure out how I integrate this with the database and data connection. I know there are two standard ways to handle this, I would like to create new columns in the aspnet_Profile database (rather than the delimited key/value option).I'm pretty new to asp.net and this is my first project with c#, .net, and asp.
View 3 RepliesI am having some trouble upgrading an existing SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services installation from an old server to a new one commissioned for this purpose, which is running SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. I have been following the instructions here: [URL] but after trying to connect with reporting services 2008, i get this error: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.6.54'. The expected version is '147'. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) before starting the process, I ran upgrade advisor and got back the following results:
Description Setup can upgrade a SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services instance that uses a SQL Server 2000 Database Engine in the same instance. However, upgrade is blocked if the report server database is in a different instance, on a remote instance, or runs on a remote SQL Server 2005 instance in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode.
*****
*note, our reporting services IS in the same instance as the SQL Server 2000 database engine. However, upgrade advisor still reported that this instance can not be automatically upgraded.
*****
Corrective Action Choose either approach to continue with the upgrade: Upgrade the Database Engine instance on the remote computer before upgrading Reporting Services. The server cannot be in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode after upgrade. Move the reportserver and reportservertempdb to a SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 Database Engine instance, and then use the Reporting Services Configuration tool to connect the report server to the database.
so, I went with option 2, move the database then connect. I have: -backed up the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases from the old server, transferred them to the new and restored them to the 2008 Server as ReportServerOld. -I then renamed the old database to ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB, as this is required to use the database as a source apparently. I had to of course change the existing database names to ReportServerNew to perform the rename. I backed up the symetric key for this installation using the rskeymgmt utility...............

to get that value entered and store it into the enteredValue variable (and yes, I know I have to do validation, etc). But when this runs, the value of the text in the textbox is "". I tried to put this up in the page load event, but then I get an error about declaring New.

I'd like to implement a ADO.NET/WCF DataService and I am wondering what's the best way to setup a project in VS2008 SP1 for this purpose.
Currently I have an ASP.NET web application project (not of "WebSite" project type). The data access layer is an Entity model (EF version 1) with SQL Server database. I have the Entity Model in a separate DLL project and the web application project references to this assembly for all data accesses.
The ADO.NET/WCF DataService needs to communicate with the Entity model/database as well. It has to be hosted on the same web server (IIS 7.5) together with the web application.
Since the DataService is not directly related to that specific web application (though it will provide and modify data from/in the same database the web application uses as well) my basic idea was to separate the DataService in its own new project (which also references the Entity Model DLL).
Now I have seen that there is no project type "ADO.NET/WCF DataService" in VS2008 SP1. It seems only possible to add a DataService as an element to other existing projects, for instance Web Application projects.
Why isn't there a separate DataService project type? Does this mean now that I have to add the DataService as an element to my Web Application project? Or shall I create a new Web Application project and add a DataService to it? (I could delete the pregenerated default.aspx since I do not need any web pages in this project.)
In one asp.net project, I created a setup project. It is working fine. Is it possible to add SQL scripts(to create database and store procedures) into setup project and run scripts automatically once client user installs the application?
