I have an asp.net/C# app that uses subversion for source control.
My app automatically increases it's AssembleVersion and AssemblyFileVersion on each build which works like a charm, and displays the build number in the administration side of the site.
We keep track of AssembleVersion and AssemblyFileVersion's when we do deployment, however, when an issue arises and we need to roll back to a certain version, we have no idea which revision to target in subversion.
I have few ideas:
Save AssembleVersion as comment in each file Have a keyword in commit comments that get's replaced by AssembleVersion on each commit(still need to figure out how to do it)
Updated: option "1" is actually a stupid idea,cause this will mean that everytime i build, all files will be marked as updated and when i commit, every single file will be updated
i was wondering if visual studio 2010 can be used as an assembly editor too????if yes where do i have to go to create a first blank page for an assembly project?
I have a question regarding a situation that occurs with GridView, ObjectDataSource in ASP .NET application. The GridView is linked to the ObjectDataSource and both are included within an UpdatePanel letting the GridView to fill in an asynchronous way from a form in the same page so it gets more rows as the user enters the data:
I start the project with Visual Studio 2008, fill the form and it works correctly. Then I stop the execution: rerun again and the data I entered in the previous run is in the GridView. Is like some sort of cache saved the data from the session before. I checked that EnableCaching property is set to false for the ObjectDataSource. If I Rebuild Web Site in Visual Studio (not just Build) then it works corretly leaving the GridView empty. Is this caused just becuase of Visual Studio? Can it be turned off? And will it happen in the final IIS it will run on?
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 have added an assembly into GAC in VS 2005, and VS 2008 as well.
Today I have tried the same approach, but I am not getting.
I am not understanding what is the problem, but I am ending up with the following two warnings!
Warning 1 Option 'keyfile' overrides attribute 'System.Reflection.AssemblyKeyFileAttribute' given in a source file or added moduleWarning 2 Use command line option '/keyfile' or appropriate project settings instead of 'AssemblyKeyFile'
Is there anyway to localise an external assembly reference? Here's my situation:I am working on Project A and it contains assembly references from Project B. Now when I release this Project to my client I don't want to have to include the whole of Project B with it. Is there anyway to force it to copy the dll's from Project B onto Project A and use those references? I can do this manually by copying all dll's to local project and re-referencing but just wanted to know if there is an easier way.
I Built my project for x64 Using VisualWebDeveloper2010Express.And I tryed to execute it in Win.2003 x64 environment, it did not run..Net Framework 64 and IIS were installed in win.2003 x64.
I am trying to compile a website in Visual Studio 2008 on a 64-bit platform. The website needs to run as a native 64-bit application, and also references an x64 assembly. Whenever I try to build the website in visual studio, I get a bad image format exception referring to the x64 assembly.As per my understanding, visual studio compilation is running as a 32 bit process causing this problem. Also, for websites the only build platform available for selection in visual studio is '.Net'. So I cannot select that the website should be built for x64 execution.
I would like to know why I am not able to see myclasslibrary.dllhaving strong name key and added in gac when adding through 'add referrence in solution explorer of vs2008 professional edition.I used .netconfiguration tool2.0 for adding assembly into Gac.In installation default folder of VS2008 I was able to see 2 folders 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727'and 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.1.4322' .Which Gac foder is getting used?using Gacutil.exe -l I did not find myssembly though it showed from configuration tool mmc.
I'm using a 64bit dll (system.data.sqlite) in an Asp.net MVC app in VS 2010. The application runs and debugs fine, but all the aspx and ascx pages show errors when editing in Visual Studio 2010 and intellisense doesn't work. This is a VS2010 regression bug. Does anyone have a work around? (OR)Does anyone know of a free, reliable, production ready embeddable database that doesn't cause a 32/64 bit problem?More DetailsApparently this worked in Visual Studio 2008 and this has been is a known regression bug in Visual Studio 2010 for several months. I don't want to revert to VS 2008 and I don't want to debug in 32 bit mode.
I have web application that needs to debug and deploy as a 64 bit mode because it uses uses some unmanaged 64 bit dll's like system.data.sqlite. Also, I prefer debugging in 64 bit mode because it allows us to test some high memory use cases. After a lot of fiddling, Asp.net will deploy and run just fine. However all the aspx and ascx pages show errors and intellisense doesn't work when editing them in Visual Studio 2010. Apparently this worked in Visual Studio 2008 and this has been is a known problem in Visual Studio 2010 for months. I don't want to revert to VS 2008. There was a work around posted on SO here but it didn't work in my tests, limits debugging to 32bit mode, and also feels a bit hacky (I think it only works for VS Express style websites). Has anyone made this work in a web application or have a better work around?For those who are interested Visual Studio 2010 has two other problems with 64bit dlls that I have managed to work around.
Problem 1 - Cassini: Cassini can only debug in 32 bit modeSolution 1 - CassiniDev or Localhost: Debug using localhost or compile CassiniDev (an opensoure variant of cassini) in 64bit mode. I like the zero config simplicity of debugging a new web app with cassini so I used CassiniDev. You just stick the dlls in C:Program Files (x86)Common Filesmicrosoft sharedDevServer10.0 and it works (I recommended making a backup of the Cassini version you will be over writing).Problem 2 - MSTest: By default unit tests run with MSTest fail to load 64bit dlls.Solution 2 - AnyCPU & 64bit host process Instructions here, set local.testsettings to AnyCPU & 64bit host processI'm starting to think the whole setup is too little hacky and I'm on the verge of giving up and restructuring my application to not use a 64bit dll. I'm also really disappointed that Visual Studio 2010 caused all these problems. Can somebody make MS fix the regression bug they created?
This is strange behavior that I've noticed with Visual Studio. I'm correcting some namespace and scope issues with in a project. When I start to address the issues with one of the files I start off with 12 errors. Then I open the file and the number of errors increase to 36. But then when the file is open and I build the project it says that there are only 12 errors. Why would it show that there are 36 errors initially when there are really only 12 when the solution is built?
I published my site with Visual Studio on Windows web Server 2008 R2......but I have this error:
Could not load file or assembly 'App_Web_xxxxxxxx, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.I tried to delete in the temporary ASP.NET files the hash files but nothing, the error is the same!I installed the framework 3.5 and Visual Studio for try the compilation and with the temporary server of VS it run but with the iis (7) not!
I have a solution with a website and a class library. I have renamed the class library project from Insight_WebControls to Insight.WebControls. I have also renamed the assembly it produces in its properties.
I have removed from the website's references the old class library and added the new.
However, when I try to build the website, I get the error 'Could not load file or assembly 'Insight_WebControls' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.' There is a dll called 'Insight.WebControls' in the bin folder. Clearly some part of the website is still looking for the old filename. Can anyone tell me how to point it to Insight.WebControls.dll instead?
Does the temporary assemblies that VS creates when you debug a WCF ajax enabled webservice gets deleted after a few hours of running an instance of the development webserver?
My assembly seemingly gets removed and I have clean the solution and restart the webserver instance.
I've recently upgraded to WIndows 7. When I try to sing the assembly in VS2010 I get an "Access is denied" error. I am logged as admin so I'm puzzled. What service account does VS uses that I should elevate its privilages?
I 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:
[Code]....
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.
When working with an ASP.Net application, when I rebuild the solution, I would like it to automatically refresh the current version thats running through the integrated server in the browser.
I have looked through post build commands and afterbuild targeting but I have not been successful so far. I would like to do this straight through VS2008 if possible without needing to install anything extra, put if thats not possible then any solution would do!
So here is the problem, when I build my web application in Win 7 x64 and publish (copy) to 2008 Server R2 (also 64 bit), the application won't run when I navigate to a page that uses a 32 bit dll.
When I boot to the Vista x86 partition and build and publish (copy), same code, minimally modified sln file to redirect to same code location. I've created a new entry usiong Menu > Build > Configuration Manager and created a x86 entry. I thought that was all I needed to do to force VS to build to a 32 bit machine. Am I missing something or do I just need to boot Vista when I want to work on my web site?
i m using VSS 2005 and VS 2005. on one machine i installed VSS 2005 and create project. on second machine i opended my project using project source safe, it ask me for user detail and i enter details. i got the complete project. problem is that when i try to run project i got following error. "An editor or project is attempting to check out a file that is modified in memory, which will result in saving it. Saving files during the build process is dangerous and can result in incorrect build outputs in future. Do you want to continue with the check out?"
I've got a solution that contains several projects. There is a main exe project which I'll call MyProj.exe that references several other projects which reference yet other projects in the solution. Additionally a few projects in the solution are not in MyProj's reference chain and aren't regularly built. There is 1 project (a class library project) named Payment which is giving me a particularly hard time. The two of MyProj's references have a project reference to Payment.dll. So the reference heirarchy looks like this:
When I right click MyProj in the Solution Explorer and choose Build, everything works fine, but when I choose Rebuild, I get the following results:
Payment.dll is deleted but never rebuilt. It doesn't exist in the output directory MyProj.manifest in the output directory doesn't have a reference to Payment.dll. (What is this file? I don't remember normally seeing it in other project's the output directories.) 19 of the project .pdb files are deleted and not rebuilt This is a big problem for me because this is a ClickOnce application and when I'm publishing, Payment.dll isn't getting included in my deployment which is a problem I suspect is closely related.
