The HRIS app in my company is a asp.net web application which started showing bugs after IE 8.0 was rolled out on our company intranet. Few people open multiple instances of the app with different credentials, now since IE 8.0 has this session sharing feature on different browser windows, the sessions in both windows become the same but the data rendered on controls of the page is different and that results in incosistent data going into the database.The application is huge and has a userbase of more than 5000. Is there any way other than changing thesession to cookieless. One approach could be to restrict only one instance of the app on a mchine at a time. But I am not able to find a way to implement this. Looking for a solution which would have minimum impact.
What is the guideline on installing the application dlls in GAC? I have not never done that. Is installing shared dllas like mvc2 dlls in GAC is a good approach?
What will happen in this case where I have an old version of the same dll in GAC and a new version of the same dll installed in the bin folder? Will always the GAC dll being used by the application rather than the dll in its bin folder?
I've been tasked to update and install a new version of an old ActiveX control in our Aspx web application .The actual updating is fairly straightforward, but the installing is giving me headaches. Here is what I tried:
In the VB6 editor, get the properties of the ActiveX project, and check off the "autoincrement" checkbox in the "Make" tab.Set the version to 1.0.12 Create a new CAB with the Package&Deployment wizard. Copy this CAB to my website.
Then in the Aspx itself, I update the version of the activeX as follows:
After this, I delete the prtlabel.dll and prtlabel.inf files from the "c:windowsdownloaded program files" folder.
Problem is, when I then visit the web page and it asks me to install the activeX, it doesn't actually do it (no error message appears though). When I go back to the "c:windowsdownloaded program files" folder, ONLY the prtlabel.inf file has been copied there, NOT the prtlabel.dll file.
Is there a special procedure to put a new version of an ActiveX control in your website?
I have vs 2003 installed on my machine and recently I installed vs2008. I believe this two version can run simultaneously on one machine. but I'm having problem running application written in .net 1.1 after installing .net 3.5. this is the error msg i see when I open asp.net application written .net 1.1 "HTTP:/1.1 500 Internal Server Error" Is there a proper way of installing vs 2008 to eliminate this problem I'm experiencing right now?
Why does the Web Platform Installer force you to install SQL 2008 Express?
I have a production server which already has an installation of SQL 2000 but no web development tools are installed. I would prefer not to add SQL 2008 Express if it is not necessary. The server in addition to being the primary intranet webserver is also DC, APP SERVER, FILE SERVER and basically does not need to handle an extra instance of SQL.
The main purpose of this is just one of convenience to have the web development app on the RDP Desktop instead of attaching to the server in some manner (ftp/unc share).
On Windows XP I installed the .Net Framework 2.0 and my test aspx page worked fine. I then installed the .Net framework Service Pack 2 and then it breaks .Net. I get a Server Unavailable message and when I run aspnet_regiis -i I get a C0000005 error with message 'The Application failed to initialize properly.' FYI, I have Symantec Endpoint Protection installed on my PC.

I am planning to start up a small business, where i would like to provide my service as a software developer, web applications, or desktop applications etc.I am not sure what Visual Studio license i need to buy,to allow me to do this legally and how much it would cost.to give you an example -
customers provide me with the requirements- i write the application with my copy of visual studio and sell it to the customer for an agreed price, and he or she uses the application commercially , for exampel if its a website i write it, then he/she can publish it via a webhosting company.but i am not sure what license of VS i need to buy which will allow me to do this legally.
I have a license file that I need to access at runtime in order to create pdf-files. After I have created the in memory pdf, I need to call a method on that pdf to set the license, like this:
pdf.SetLicense("pathToLicenseFileHere");
The license file is located in the same project as the.cs-file that creates the pdf, but is in a separate folder. I cannot get this simple thing to behave correctly, which makes me a bit sad, since it really shouldn't be that hard. :(
I try to set the path like this: string path = @"ResourcesFile.lic"; But it just isn't working out for me.
Edit:
A bit more info. I should mention that this is a web service which returns pdf:s as byte[]. The web service creates the pdf:s, and during this creation process I need to set the license file so as to remove any watermarks from the pdf document. The pdf itself is not saved to disc, and only needs to access the license file once when it is created.
i have developed an app using the devart dot connect control. I have deployed on the server, using iis. However, whenever i try to do anything with the database i get the license not found error. I have copied the license file into the bin and root of the application but to no avail. Any one else come across this error. IF so how did you manage?
I'm working on a project for a client in which the client owns the source code that I develop. I plan on purchasing and using a 3rd party .NET library in this project. When I purchase the library, I have the right to use it royalty free on as many sites as I like. However, the library uses a license key that must be set in a property before using the library.
What would be the best way to "hide" this license key from the client?
If I install SSMS 2008 as a client tool (on my workstation at my company) to access to SQL Server 2008 Production, do I need to buy a license for SSMS 2008?I found out that SSMS 2008 is free but not sure if it's for development only.
Is the VSS 2005 the newest version? (As far as I've seem it seems like it is...)
Is this version compatible with VisualStudio 2005 and 2008? (it seems like it is...)
I've found some pages where they say really bad things about source safe, like VSS corrupts often and running "analyze" is recommended once a week....., check this one:
http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/windev/sourcesafe.html or this one:
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/08/source-control-anything-but-sourcesafe.html. Should I use VSS or something else like SVN (Subversion)?
Does VSS require a separate license? I mean, for the VSS server or repository.
I need to limit the access of web application based on the number of days!
For example the application should not work more than ten days, if our client has 10 day license limit,when the user try to access the application after ten days , it should give a message like "the demo period has expired"!!
On MVC 1.0, Microsoft had a nice standalone installer to put MVC 1.0 assemblies in the GAC on the target server. Is there such a beast for MVC 2.0 or am I responsible for manually deploying the MVC 2.0 assemblies?
I will be writing a php site and i am thinking about the hosting server. I have used IIS before with FASTCGI on a php forum and did not have issues. Whoever this was not a high traffic forum, so i could not really see any performance problems it may came up with. This will be a high traffic site so i want to know if IIS will have problems. Of course i would have used Apache right from the start but i do have much experience on Linux, so i was thinking, if there is no specific advantage then i should save some time and go with IIS that i know how to work with.
I have asp.net apps I have written that might be useful running locally on a users machine. My question involves how practical or impractical this might be? In the past, we've written separate desktop and web user interfaces. But we find asp.net programming so much easier to develop and maintain than desktop (although that perhaps is mainly due to the fact that we control what operating system/environment it is being run on). But in any case, it seems it could be desireable to be able to install a personal web server on the users machine (like those that come with VS) so that the same exact asp.net app could be run locally thru a browser instead of distributing a separate desktop interface. We would need it to be a professional download/install that could be performed by the user without aid. Is this something that's done? Is it practical? Are there particular pitfalls to worry about? What personal web server would make sense that could be freely distributed?
I just want to be able to connect to a remote MySQL database on my ASP.net c# website running on localhost.
It's so I can grab some records, and insert them into my SQL server database. Do I need to download any drivers? And how do I connect and fetch records?
I'm having trouble with a web application in IIS 6.0 that doesn't seem to be able to run Ajax Control Toolkit that is in the Global Assembly Cache. I thought I had installed it correctly using GACUTIL /I etc., but perhaps I am misunderstanding the process. Is there more to it than just running GACUTIL? Is there a custom installer that I should be using? The web application complains that it cannot find System.Web.Ajax ... is this a separate dll download? If so, where would I get System.Web.Ajax 3.0.31106.0 , there doesn't seem to be a download available on the Codeplex pages.
I currently have the following showing as installed in my GAC:
I get the following error when i try to install asp.net mvc 3 using the Web Platform Installer 3.0: "This product did not install succesfully: Downloaded file failed signature verification and may have been tampered with" The other thing I've noticed is that inside the "Application DataMicrosoftWeb Platform InstallerinstallersMVC3..." folder, the Web Platform Installer creats a "AspNetMVC3Setup.exe" file that has a size an aprox file size of 200KB. Meanwhile, at the beginign of the instalation process the Web Platform Installer informs that it will download a 20MB file.
