Run Site Using Specific Web.config Transformation In Visual Studio
Nov 18, 2010I'm using the web.config transformations on an ASP.NET site so I have .config settings for dev, test, and release environments. I need to run the source code in Visual Studio against the test database using the settings in Web.Test.config and I can't figure out how to do it. I tried changing the configuration to Test but it still uses the base Web.config settings.
View 1 RepliesVisual Studio 2010 - Apply The Web.config Transformation Before Creating The Installer?
Jun 7, 2010I am working on an ASP.NET project in Visual Studio .NET 2010 and attempting to make an MSI installer using a Web Setup Project. I added the Primary output from the project (which seems to pull in the relevant dependencies) and the Content Files from the project (which pulls in the Web.config and the .svc files).
The issue is that rather than applying the XDT transform and creating the Web.config using the Web.Release.config, it just copies the Web.config, the Web.Release.config, and the Web.Debug.config into the installer without doing any transformation at all.
How do I get it to apply the Web.config transformation before creating the installer?
C# - .net 4 Xslt Transformation Extension Function Broken?
Aug 4, 2010I'm in the process of upgrading an asp.net v3.5 web app. to v4 and I'm facing some problems with XSLT transformations I use on XmlDataSource objects.
Part of a XSLT file:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:HttpUtility="ds:HttpUtility">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/Menus">
[Code]....
The problem seems to be in the line
<xsl:value-of select="HttpUtility:HtmlEncode(MenuTitle)"/>
Removing this and replacing it with a normal text, it will work. The way I setup the XML datasource:
xmlDataSource.TransformArgumentList.AddExtensionObject("ds:HttpUtility", new System.Web.HttpUtility());
xmlDataSource.Data = Cache.FetchPageMenu();
I've been searching the Microsoft pages for any changes in v4, but can't find any. All this worked fine in v3.5 (and before v2). Not receiving any errors, the data is just not displaying.

View 1 Replies'Add Config Transforms' And One Click Publish Option Not Working When Upgraded From Visual Studio 2005 To Visual Studio 2010
Jul 28, 2010I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.

View 13 RepliesWeb.config Transformation And Deployment Options?
Nov 19, 2010I am just starting my first MVC Web Application and have noticed that I now not only have a Web.config file in the root, but 2 sub-files, for Debug and Release configurations. I've read up a bit on what this is, in that I can put specific configurations for my different environments in each file, but I am confused as to when these seperate files are actually used.
Do I HAVE to use the built in Deployment/Publish tools within Visual Studio in order to benefit from this, or, if I set my build mode to Release, and do a simple build of my web application, then deploy the compiled files, along with the Web.config AND Web.Release.config, would that work?
I'm just not sure what deployment options I have to take advantage of these seperate config files?
Configuration :: Transformation With Config Files?
Aug 17, 2010I am currently trying to publish a web application in TestRelease mode and when I do, the following dll is compiled and put into the bin folder.Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.dll.I do not get this dll when I comple in release or debug mode so wondered if there is a setting I can change so this dll does not appear in the bin folder when I compile in TestRelease or TestDebug mode ?When I get that dll in the bin folder and try to deploy the application to our test server, I receive the following message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.dll' or one of its dependencies.Any suggestions on why that dll appears in the bin folder and how I can prevent it from being deployed when I pusblish through visual studio ?
View 1 RepliesTeam Build 2010 And Web.config Transformation?
Nov 25, 2010I'm struggling to get web.config transformations working with automated builds. We have a reasonably large solution, containing one ASP.NET web application and eight class libraries. We have three developers working on the project and, up to now, each has "published" the solution to a local folder then used file copy to deploy to a test server. I'm trying to put an automated build/deploy solution in place using TFS 2010. I created a build definition and added a call to msdeploy.exe in the build process template, to get the application deployed to the test server. So far, so good!
I then tried to implement web.config transforms and I just can't get them to work. If I build and publish locally on my PC, the "publish" folder has the correct, transformed web.config file. Using team build, the transformation just does not happen, and I just have the base web.config file. I tried adding a post-build step in the web application's project file, as others have suggested, similar to:
<target name="AfterBuild">
<TransformXml Source="Web.generic.config"
Transform="$(ProjectConfigTransformFileName)"
Destination="Web.Config" />
</target>
but this fails beacuse the source web.config file has an "applicationSettings" section. I get the error Could not find schema information for the element 'applicationSettings'.I've seen suggstions around adding arguments to the MSBuild task in the build definition like
/t:TransformWebConfig /p:Configuration=Debug
But this falls over when the class library projects are built, presumably because they don't have a web.config file.
Visual Studio :: Errors In Root Machine.config And Web.config After 2010 Installation
Jan 19, 2011I just installed VS2010 and opened the root machine.config and web.config files for review and I found some errors. In machine.config, the following line has errors in both entries for <Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink.Behavior>. When I hover the cursor over them I get a tooltip text which displays: "The element 'endpointBehaviors' has invalid child element 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink.Behavior'. List of possible elements expected: '...(list of options here)...'. The same problem happens for the second appereance in tag <serviceBehaviors>.

In web.config, there is a tag called <protocols> that has an error with a tooltip text that says "The element 'system.web' has invalid child element 'protocols'. List of possible elements expected: '...(list of options here)...'.
Visual Studio :: Convert Web.config From 2.0 To 3.5?
Nov 10, 2010We deployed version 2.0 to our client. But we converted from .Net 2.0 to .NET 3.5 in our development area. When we are deploying the modified module to our client, We are getting error because the client site is referring 2.0. We told the client to upgrade the .NET framework to 3.5. Though they are upgrading to 3.5, the web.config will refer to 2.0 only. We can't open the project in vs 2010 in the client place. Client system does not have project file. How can I convert the web.config?
View 1 RepliesVisual Studio :: 4 Doesn't See Machine.config
Mar 23, 2010I have switched over from VS2008 to VS10 (.Net4) and I program in Silverlight. But this problem isn't related to the Silverlight but more so to ASP.Net and that's why I bring it up here. My problem is if I create a SL or even a plain ASP.Net Web app, and I go to Project|ASP Configuration and click on security I get error that it can't find the database. After lots of testing, it turns out if there is no connection string with the name "LocalSqlServe" in my web.config, it does not find Machine.Config in the .Net Framework to get it's default. It also happens at runtime and not just in VS. So, my machine ASP.Net can't find machine.config file. I'm running Vista 32.

Mar 24, 2010In the Setup Project I have 2 web.config files: web.config - used during the development and web_dist.config - the one that should be included into Setup Project. I must be sure the the Setup project will NOT include the web.config and will always include web_dist.config.
In the File System -> Web Application Folder I have added the Content Files from the project.
Also included the web_dist.config and mapped it to the web.config.
But this gives the warning:
WARNING: Two or more objects have the same target location ('[targetdir]web.config') And the actual config file included is web.config and not web_dist.config. What would be the best option to include the web_dist.config (and named as web.config in the setup)?

View 3 RepliesVisual Studio :: Web.config Transformations On Build/debug
Mar 3, 2010I really like the new transformation feature for the web.config. It seems to work when I do "Build deployment package" but not when I just want to locally start the debugging using the green arrow. It just uses the web.config without processing theWeb.Debug.config. I can prove that because in web.config I have debug="false" with a transformation in Web.Debug.config so that it gets true but everytime VS asks if it should modify the web.config to enable debugging which it should've done automatically with the following transformation:

Am I missing something here? I used to work with NAnt to modify/create the web.config as a pre-build event but I thought that I wouldn't need it anymore. Am I wrong? The project is a freshly created asp.net mvc 2 web application.
How To Generate An .NET 2.0 Retro Web.config Within Visual Studio 2010
Aug 3, 2010I'm using VS 2010 Express Edition (VWD) to develop a website project that will be deployed to a Windows 2000 Server (targeting .NET 2.0). BACKGROUND: The website was new, so I chose the 'c# blank website' project template in VS 2010. This (as you may know) gave me an extremely more lean web.config file than VS 2008. I like that for 4.0 development, but I'm going to be deploying it to the testing region tomorrow and I'm getting concerned that all that extra stuff that used to be in the web.config is going to bite me.
View 1 RepliesVisual Studio Public & Web.config Transforms Features
Feb 2, 2011I work in an development group in an enterprise, where we strive to seperate business units and their responsibilities. So for example, I am in the development group and we are responsible for all tasks related to developing applications. We have other roles such as dbas, or operational roles that are outside of our group and are responsible for things like deployment, server maintenance, etc.
I'm looking at features in VS such as the publish web app feature and the web.config transform feature and reading about them in blogs and various other places. Based on the majority of what I read it always seems that the writer is assuming that the developer is managing things like connection strings, user names, passwords for the different environments in web config transforms, then publishing to a remove server in some kind of production environment (be it live, or test or staging, etc).
An example is here. In our environment, and I assume others too, the scenario is somewhat more complex than is usually portrayed. The development group may not know where any of what they've developed is deployed. And administrators may move servers,databases etc and update configuration as characteristics of the environment dictate. So in these cases, how does web.config transforms help? Publish can still potentially be used locally to build artifacts for a deployment package but even you'd probably want to use some automated build manager instead.
So is publish and transforms really more suited for more rudimentary development processes where the barrier between development and operations is very grey? Or am I missing something? It just seems that a lot of things I've reading about this kind of thing have good intentions but are somewhat superficial in the context of a more defined development process.
Interested to know others opinions and experiences on this.
Visual Studio :: Web.config Transforms For Web Site Projects
Apr 8, 2010Does anyone no why web.config transforms are not available for Web Site Projects in VS2010. I thought that Web Site Projects where once introduced as the successor of Web Application Projects. But now the lack the deployment feature which I would really like to use.
Maybe someone knows a workaround, without having to convert 70 websites? Converting to Web Application Projects isn't a real option because I use Table Profile Provider by Hao Kong, which doesn't work with this type of project.
