Visual Studio :: Web Site Administration Tool - Error Encountered - Return To Previous Page
Jul 22, 2010
I Have a problem here with Visual Web devoloper 2010 , When I click the "Asp.net Configuration" , the browser doesn't open the Web Site Administration Tool but the icon does appear in the notification area , on right clicking the icon it opens up the Web Site Administration Tool in the browser and displays "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."
On the other hand I don't have any issues using "Asp.net Configuration" with Visual Web Devoloper 2008
I have just installed Visual Studio 2010 trial. Previously I have been using Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express. Now every time I try to invoke the ASP.net Cofiguration tool either via the icon or through the Project File Menu item, I get the error message "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again." I am trying to develop a bog standard Silverlight Business Application. There are no other diagnostics. Is there anywhere I can look for more clues or anything else to do to alleviate the problem? or is this something peculiar to the trial version I am using?
I also think it might have something to do with the fact that I have created this Silverlight Business App on a directory on my D: drive and not the normal, default c: drive path and maybe the web sit admin tool is looking somewhere else. Could this have something to do with it? If so what is my remedy?
Created an solution containing several class libraries (domain, contracts, etc, etc) and an Asp.Net MVC3 project. Created a database in my local sql server (2008) and ran aspnet_regsql.exe to create the relevant membership and authentication tables. (Though I did not create any code yet that uses it, and plan to just implement the standard forms and membership authentication.) However, when I click on the "Asp.Net Configuration" button in VS (2010), it open the Asp.Net Web Site Administration Tool, but with an error that say "An error was encountered. return to the previous page and try again." (of course there's no "previous page). Only reason i want to use this is actually to create two roles, admin and client. Guess my problem is not knowing where this tool get it's connectionstring from. At present, I got the following in my web.config
I have googled the similar problem that many people are facing but I still can't solve mine.I'm trying to visit the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool at http://localhost:49274/asp.netwebadminfilesThe page shows me the error "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."Some says it has to do with web.config file, I'm new to ASP.NET, here is my web.config file
I get the following error while running ASP.Net Web site administration tool: ASP.Net Web site administration tool I am using visual web developer 2008 express edition and windows XP pro version 2002 service pack 3. I am following Microsoft Visual web developer 2008 express edition by Eric Griffin and in chapter 4 I need to use the administrator tool to set up passwords.
I recently installed VWDE 2010 and SQLE 2008 R2 and have built a basic site, but when I try to launch the Web Site Administration Tool, it fails to come up in a browser window. The server starts and I can right click on that and choose "Open in Web Browser", but when I do that an error message immediately shows up saying, an error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again with no other information given. When I click on "How do I Use this Tool?" in the top-right corner of the window, it immediately says the following:
Tool Has Timed Out
As a security measure, the Web Site Administration Tool times out after a period of inactivity. Changes to machine.config or web.config may also result in the tool needing to be restarted. To continue configuring your web site, restart the tool. The same message immediately comes up no matter what tab I click on. I have searched the internet and have made sure that the path doesn't have any spaces or non-alphabetic characters, run aspnet_regsql, restarted the IDE as well as the computer, but nothing works.
I have running my application. some error is displayed at every time. what is the meaning of this error
"WebDev.WebServer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.we are sorry for the inconvience. If you were in the middle of something , the information you were working on might be lost. "
I created a database in my local sql server, and ran aspnet_regsql.exe on it, which created all the user and membership tables. However, when I click on the "Asp.Net Configuration" button in VS (2010), it open the Asp.Net Web Site Administration Tool, but with an error that say "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again." (of course there's no "previous page". What is one to do here? My solution consist of several class libraries (domain, contracts, services, etc, etc) and a Asp.net MVC project. In my web (mvc) project's web.config, my connectionstrings looks as follows (just guessing this matters):
i am trynig to connect to sql server 2005 express with Web Site Administration Tool in visual studio 2008 but i got this error in security tab: There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
i have already checked following links and done all hint but nothing [URL] i have MSSQLSERVER running but i can not run SQLEXPRESS
login control portion of Murach's web dev w/ c# book. According to the books instructions, you create a Login.aspx page, add the login control to the page, and create the users and roles for the directories within the asp.net web site configuration tool. I still do not get prompted for user name and passord to access the pages I want to be secured. Why is this? Isn't the asp.net configuration tool supposed to edit the web.config file? I'm trying to follow the book to the letter and ensure that I am following correctly before posting for answers online. According to the book you do not have to edit anything or write code withing login.aspx page.
Is anyone able to see Web Site --> ASP.NET Configuration if you are creating a web application using File --> New Project --> Visual C# --> Web. If so, how and where?
Base on what I've tried, the menu Web Site --> ASP.Net Configuration appears only if you create a website by File --> New Website.
What I am actually trying to find is the Web Site Administration Tool (WSAT).
I am using sqlserver express 2008 (Microsoft Web Platform Installer) and visual studio 10 professionnel.
I am also using last Silverlight4_Tools.exe.
When i enter in Web Site Administration Tool / security I obtain this error
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may in diagnosing the problem:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
When I try userprovider
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
Does anyone know how to get to work the authentication mechanism configured using Web Site Administration Tool under Linux running Mono? Is it even possible?
We've currently migrated our Classic ASP web to ASP.NET. Our greatest hope lies in using the Visual Studio for debugging. But this hope was destroyed devastatingly.There are lot of issues we encountered:No syntax highlightingNo breakpoints (message: "This is not a valid location for a breakpoint.")No Intellisense We cannot find the reasons. But we think VS can't resolve our include links correctly. (In our case we remove all inludes and the page was highlighted again.)That's why we have a lot of questions:Can VS2008 handle includes (<!-- #include file="myinclude.inc" -->) at all?Are there any constraints we need to know? Maximal lines to include? Including<% .. %> or <script language="vb" runat="server"> .. </script>? What settings have to be made?
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this. Ok, I have a website in which the solution and webfiles are in Team Foundation Server's source control. My workspace is on my local PC. If I go to Website > ASP.NET Configuration to manage the site using the web admin tool I get an error message from the web admin tool:
"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."
Now, if I copy the exact site (just the website, but not the solution .sln file)to another location on my PC then choose open website in VS and fire up the web admin tool, it starts no problem.
I have no idea why this is happening and unfortunately the web admin tool doesn't give any other info other than that error message. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
I am building a web site and am trying to run the web site administration tool.
I have reinstalled SQL Server 2008 express and have run the command line administration utilites. When I try to run the administration tool, get the following error when I click on the security tab is
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have ensured that I have user instances are enabled
When I click on Choose Data Store I get the following error
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
Im using Visual Studio 2010. I'm new to asp.net. I'm trying to do a simple user login page but whenever I try to launch the Web Administration tool, I keep getting some exception error. The below images is the error I encountered.
I 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.
can Visual Studio 2008 be All-In-One tool to integrate source code continuously from team members, build, unit test?
Having used Visual Studio Team Edition 2005, unit testing each method within VS itself. I strongly believe that it is feasible to add-on tools. Example ankhsvn tool to use SVN from Visual studio [URL]
In my investigating i have come across number of tools(shown below) to use with Visual Studio 2008 professional
Development tool:- Visual Studio 2008 professional using Subversion as source control tool. Continuous Integration:- Hudson or Cruise control Build tool:- NAnt Testing:- NUnit, Selinium As Visual Studio 2008 can be used for unit testing I think NUnit is out of consideration.
In the same way i would like to have any other tools/add-ons to Visual studio to implement continuous integration, building and unit testing. This process should be automated such a way source code between team members is continuously integrated, built and unit testing is done as configured.
Objective is to use few number of tools as add-on to Visual Studio or achieve most from Visual studio itself (example unit testing). Visual Studio should be all in one tool.
I am aware that Team Foundation Server best suits my requirement, but it is out of scope due to its cost.
