Visual Studio :: Web Deployment Project Not Creating DLL From ASCX Controls?
Jan 27, 2011
I am trying to get VS 2008 SP1 to precompile a development site using the Web Deployment Project method. I've done this previously with a different site containing ASPX pages, with success. However, this is a third party example web application containing a set of ASCX controls. The idea is that I want to create a precompiled DLL containing the controls, that can then be distributed as a library DLL. I thought the the use of WDP should allow the compiler to compile all the ASCX controls, and then optionally merge them all into a single DLL.
The problem is, the WDP build reports that it succeeds, but the only file generated is the precompiledapp.config file. On closer inspection of the reporting, it seems that the only error reported is:
aspnet_merge : warning 1013: Cannot find any assemblies that can be merged ...
which I assume refers to the DLL merging process at the end of the compile. This that the compiler was unable to find or process any of the ascx controls in the web application, and so didn't produce any DLLs from them.
I don't really understand what is going wrong here. Should I be able to run a Web Deployment Project like this to compile ASCX controls in this way, and if so, what is likely to be going wrong here? Could the ASCX files somehow be protected from the compiler, to prevent redistribution?

I need to obfuscate a dll that is used in a ASP.NET project, the deployment project pruduces a setup.exe which I want to distribute. I have the VS 2008 Dotfuscator installed but when I build the deployment project the project that creates the dll is rebuilt before it is added to the deployment project and added to the setup.exe.

According to this website, I can go to Visual Studio 2005 Web Deployment Projects, and download the add-in, but I am not finding what I need. I have searched other sites for the add-in as well, but with no luck. where I can download the add-in?
If not, can someone provide documentation on how to properly deploy an ASP Web application? I have tried on my own, but I am apparently doing something incorrectly or incompletely, as I have several different problems with my current deployment. So I am looking to start over with the help of this add-in or by following more detailed documentation.

i have a project which runs fine when I build it and run it. But when I add an web deployment project to the same, it throws out a "server block is not well formed" error in Default.aspx page
through googling i found out that it may have something to do with page/server directives. but i cant figue out what is wrong with this code.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="KnowledgeBase.Web.UI._Default" %>

So I got a copy of Visual studio 2010 ultimate through my university and MSDN AA. I've been unable though to create any MVC2 projects in it. Even worse when I save my project from school and attempt to just open it at home I keep getting errors that it can't load the project (this included just open a basic empty project). I've tried a complete reinstall, and even manually downloading the MVC2 RC.

Creating a .NET 3.5 website in 2010, and when I attempt to create public properties for a user control I whipped up it is giving me inline error:Visual Basic 9 does not support auto-implemented properties. I can, however, type GET on the next line 2010 populates the property just like it used to. However, when I expose a control property it craps out with a null reference error at runtime.

I recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
<div class='<asp:Literal ID="CssClassLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>'>
It doesn't see this literal when it does the conversion... Is the above valid code or should I implement that functionality another way?

This is getting me a little frustrated, and I looked around the net for the solution and was not able to find any as of yet.I'm trying to have Web Deployment projects in VS 2010. I have it installed for VS2008, but I was not able to find anything to install for VS 2010.I basically want to merge all outputs to a single assembly in 2010. How do I do that??

A few years ago, I built a desktop application for a client in VS 2005 that was deployed using Click Once. Recently, the client asked me to make a simple modification to the site.
I no longer had VS 2005 (or the same machine for that matter) and was forced to upgrade the application to Visual Studio 2008.
Most of the application is fine in VS 2008 - however I am unable to Publish the application. During the project conversion process and whenever I try to publish the application, I receive a message like this:
"This project includes a password-encrypted key used for signing. Enter the password for the key file to import the key file into the local crypto-store database for use."
Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what the password would be for this application.What options do I have? Is there a way to get this working again without having to rebuild the application or have all of the users uninstall the application and reinstall it?

I'm about to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010, and I'm learning that there are now a few options for deploying web application projects. I've been using Web Deployment Projects in 2008, and my initial thought was to do the same in 2010.
Is there any advantage to using Publish or the Web Deployment Tool over Web Deployment Projects?
I need to automate the process so that the build and the deployment can be run from TeamCity. I'd prefer a method that would allow me to use the Visual Studio (sln) Runner but a custom MSBuild script would be OK too. See Web Application Deployment Workflow with SVN and TeamCity for more information on my current build/deployment workflow.

I am using Web Deployment v10.0 RTW and .NET Framework version 4.0 MSBuild.
There were some problems with incorrect settings and resulting in errors. I had to pass in my own values in order to continue to the next step:
[Code]....
With the above setting, it builds in .NET 4.0 instead of 2.0, but I am having trouble with AspNetMerge:
[Code]....
I was able to solve the above error by changing this inMSBuildMicrosoftWebDeploymentv10.0Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets:
[Code]....
But soon came to another error:
[Code]....
So I changed some more to make it work:
[Code]....
But again hit with another error but this one I can't solve:
(AspNetMerge target) ->
aspnet_merge : error 1008: The PrecompiledApp.config file is missing. Make sure the application has been precompiled with the Aspnet_compiler tool.

The web application that a company I'm doing consulting for has all the web files (.aspx, .vb, .ascx, web.config, etc.) but no .sln files or anything of that sort to open in Visual Studio and deploy the site and whatnot.
What's the best way to go about using Visual Studio to redeploy changes I make to this type of system?

I have developed a web application using Visual Studio 2010 and in that application I have used AjaxControlToolkti 3.5 in some pages. When I go to Solution Explorer->References I have AjaxControlToolKit.dll file and if I take the property of that file i see the following in PATH field E:My DataEBPMinAjaxControlToolkit.dll which is a path of my development machine.
After that I went to my UAT machine (windows xp + IIS 6.0) copy the entire project in a folder of UAT machine, created a virtual directory, provided Alias and the Directory.Now when I access my UAT server from outside it works perfect except it throws "RunTime Error" on those pages where I have used
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
I guess as my AjaxControlToolkit path is refereing to my development machine location therefore its throwing error...what's the solution without making proper deployment. Actually on our UAT all the applications are using IIS 6.0 and if i go on proper deployment and IIS 7.0 (i guess it requires for deployment from Visual Studio 2010) I will have to reconfigure all the applications on UAT which I cannot do at this moment.
