What is the difference between a Web Application and a Web Site?
These are the steps i am following crating the both:
File - new Project - Visual C# - ASP.NET Web Application
FIle - New Web Site - Select "ASP.NET Web Site"
I know this a simple doubt but i want to know.
Using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I was used to creating a web app anytime and I would get a default page for starters and be happy. But today I find that when I pick either the ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application templates I get site.master and a bunch of site admin files that I don't want. Alternately when I select the empty versions of those templates, I get almost nothing at all. An almost empty web.config page and no Default.aspx page. There is nothing magical about having a default.aspx page in place, but it is an indicator of a change when I can only get a virtually completely empty website or a website with a bunch of bells and whistles I don't want.
Also, for some reason, when I create a new app or website as just noted, in the Solution Explorer I get aspx.designer.cs files showing as well as web.config files for both debug and release. Somehow some settings and templates must have changed, or am I missing something here? How can I get my settings/templates to go back to the way they were?
So I have seen the items about the differneces between web application and web site projects. My big question is - how can I tell which one I am running in the RC of VS 1010?

i have a very annoying iis problem
iis server stops working until app pool is recycled
i am hoping that new visual studio (net framework 4.0) may solve this very annoying unsolveable problem
I have installed visual studio 2008 in my system.But my website is in Framework 2.0 and have a reports in it. i have opened my website in visual studio 2008 with the Framework built in 2.0. but many times when i debug it will give a version conflict error for reports as mentioned below.
"The type 'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer' exists in both 'c:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms9.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3aMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll' and 'c:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms8.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3aMicrosoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll"
I want to know what is the difference between web application and web site exactly? Because I feel in trouble, as I want to integrate tasks. Part of them are built as a web site, and the other as a web application. When I added them to the web site and build the solution, I had many errors that I could not handle. It can't handle name spaces and some classes can't be read.
View 4 RepliesI downloaded a trial version of Visual Studio 2010, created a new c# Solution and then wanted to add an ASP.NET Web Site. I am Folllowing an example in a book: ASP.NET 3.5 Enterprise Application Development with Visual Studio 2008.In the book they write that a template for createing an c# ASP.NET Web Site would be found, but whereever I search for o template in VisualStudio I cant find that for c#, I could find it for VisualBasic but that is not wath I want!
View 1 RepliesI am getting the following error when I try to establish ftp remote connection using the 'copy web site' feature on visual studio 2005.
unable to open the web 'ftp://209.*.*.*/httpdocs'. The computer is disconnected from the network.
Why can't I connect to the remote site on visual studio 2005? I can do the same thing on Dreamweaver with no problem. I can ping the IP successfully. I can open the ftp URL on a web browser with no problem.
i have an asp.net website which contains a link to a legacy site written in classic asp which has vb 6 classes (dll) in the back ground also.here is what i am trying to achieve:-i want to browse to the asp.net website using IE7,then when the link is clicked then enters the classic asp site i want to start debugging the classic asp and step through it.(also to make things worse, once a the vb6 class is instanciated, and a call make to its method i want to debug the method in the vb 6 code)My system :- XP Pro, IIS 5, Visual Studio 2005 (asp.net project ), Visual interdev 6 (classic asp project) Visual Basic 6 (vb 6 classes compiled into dll)i have been trying everything with no joy, there is lots on the net but nothing seems to have worked.i have the back office components installed so asp debugging is possible, i have configured the asp website s debugging is turned on.if i add a breakpoint to the classic asp site and hit the start button in visual interdev i can step through it fine.My problem is that if i attach interdev to a process (iexplorer.exe or dll.host) then the breakpoints are not hit. if anyone can help me with this it would be great.ont top of that, if anyone can explain to me how to also debug the vb6 dll code in visual basic 6 when it is called from the classic asp site that would be great!

View 1 RepliesHow can I ensure that web application converted from 2003 visual studio to 2008 visual studio
to have two files as it is when create a web file in visual studio 2008.The web application is in Chsarp. I have converted these filesfrom 2003 to 2008 but they still have three files each.
I am using the FormView, it does no behave the same as it does in VB. For example, why in C# you have to go into the HTML source code and add: OnItemUpdated="FormView1_ItemUpdated" to get an item updated? This does not have to be done in VB.

File -->New --> Project / Website .
What is the difference between this project and website.What we can do using project and with using website.
I'm having a site done in ASP.NET and part of the quote is deployment. It's only one page at the moment. Can I configure VWD to download my app to my PC in VWD?
It will also have a Telerik RadGrid that VWD doen't support, will I still get the page wih some kind of placeholer?
what exactly is the difference between build number and the revision number in assembly.cs file?
For instance the assembly version is 1.2.407.7890
Major = 1
Minor = 2
Build = 407
Version = 7890
Now when i make some change in the projects file and recompile it, only the version number changes. When does the build number changes?
In what scenario does the build number changes?
Also let me know what exactly is AssemblyFileVersion? How is it different from AssemblyVersion?
I'm trying to publish my ASP.NET web application in Visual Studio 2010. I'm then trying to install it as a website on a server using IIS. I've gotten my application to publish (to a .zip file) but it points to the physical directory on my hard drive. This obviously will not work on the server.
View 3 RepliesWhen I updated from 2.0 - 3.5 I just changed the target in visual studio and it fixed my web.config then I just deployed that.
Is the upgrade to 4.0 the same deal?
Can I keep the current site @ 3.5 (with the target framework attrib), but still be able to get the 4.0 goodies like Workflow 4 assemblies?
I have a simple website and can publish it locally to my localhost as the default website.
However, when I try and publish to a different server, VS2008 keeps asking me for the servers id/password.
I have published successfully bwefore to this server from a Windows XP PC running VS2008.
Only difference is that I am now running my VS2008 on Windows 7.
How can I make Visual Studio to use the 64bit compiler (csc.exe/vbc.exe) for an Asp.Net web site?

View 3 RepliesI am struggling to publish a site built (and working locally) using VWD 2010 Express to a production server.I realise that this is because I don't understand enough about the relationship between the website and SQL server and I certainly don't know enough about the way SQL server works in general. Can anybody recommend some learning resources - books, tutorials, vids etc, that explain the background and in particular address the issue of how to publish to a production server.
View 2 RepliesI have published my website using VS2010 and then selected FTP Site.Problem is that it does not show me update status. and takes too much time as compare to other FTP client. Is there any way or plugin for visual studio 2010 so i can build and directly publish that on FTP server.
View 2 RepliesI am taking over for a website in ASP.Net (VB.Net) where the live site is compiled code. So there's no code behind pages. So other than the ASP.Net pages, it's just DLL files in the bin folder.It's also at an ISP where I have no control over the server to remote in.
I have gotten from the client, what I believe to be the latest and greatest code. So there's code behind pages and also a vbproj file. It seems to be have done in an early version of Visual Studio.Thinking maybe 2003.I only have Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 (I've been using) and VS2005.So I made a very basic change just to test the waters and built the website, which made a brand new DLL for the site in bin. Also new pdb and xml document. It works fine on dev.I uploaded just this DLL to live. However on live, when I get to the part where I'm submitting a form.I get a very non descript error.

I can't see the line number of the error + am I compiling the DLL wrong?I trying to figure out how to do this without breaking the live site. Is there a way to tell what version of .Net it's compiled in.
I've tried all kinds of searches on this site and with Bing and don't seem to get any hits that meet my condition. So pardon me if this is a rather basic question. I'm rather new at ASP.NET programming.I want to experiment with putting up to a live site. GoDaddy gives you free hosting if you get the URL from them. The catch is the hosting only supports IIS 7.0 with .Net 2.0/3.0/3.5. I've uploaded all kinds of plain websites with no problem. So in Visual
Studio 2010 I selected the following options while creating a new project:
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<!--<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">-->
<compilation debug="true" >

<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
I tried various solutions offered on the web for other issues like setting References "Copy Local = true" to upload various binaries.
