Web.config Transforms Add Extra Line Returns Where There Are None

Aug 26, 2010

When my Web.config transforms it is adding a new line before the end value tag in my ApplicationSettings. This new line is showing up in the setting and causing an exception. Example:

Web.config:

<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>c:path</value>
</setting>
Web.Debug.config:
<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String" xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)">
<value>c:path</value>
</setting>

Published Web.config:

<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>c:path
</value>
</setting>

The end value tag being on its own line is causing problems. Does anyone know how to get it to stop doing this?

Configuration :: Using Transforms In Web.config

May 6, 2010

I am trying to utilize Transforms in my Web.Configs.It is working when I publish, however, if I run from Visual Studio they seem to have NO effect.

I am using VS2010 / .NET 3.5 project / Silverlight 3.

I used these two as my primary references. http://vimeo.com/10781314 / http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465326.aspx

I've tried several ways..
1. Overriding my Connection Setting using Transform Replace, match on name
2. Just using Insert in the Release.Config with no setting in the Main Web.Config.

Both ways DO work on Publish, but neither work in VS. # 1 shows the original when I'm just trying to run from VS and # 2 Crashes on this line string scontest = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBTest"].ToString();

Here is my Main Web.config for try # 2

<connectionStrings>
<!--<add name="DBTest"connectionString="Server=MAINWEBCONIFGBox; Database=personal; User; password=P@ssw0rd" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />-->
</connectionStrings>

Web.Release.Config for try # 2

<connectionStrings>
<add name="DBTest"
connectionString="Server=RELBox; Database=personal; User Id=admin; password=StagingPersonalPassword"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</connectionStrings>

Visual Studio Public & Web.config Transforms Features

Feb 2, 2011

I work in an development group in an enterprise, where we strive to seperate business units and their responsibilities. So for example, I am in the development group and we are responsible for all tasks related to developing applications. We have other roles such as dbas, or operational roles that are outside of our group and are responsible for things like deployment, server maintenance, etc.

I'm looking at features in VS such as the publish web app feature and the web.config transform feature and reading about them in blogs and various other places. Based on the majority of what I read it always seems that the writer is assuming that the developer is managing things like connection strings, user names, passwords for the different environments in web config transforms, then publishing to a remove server in some kind of production environment (be it live, or test or staging, etc).

An example is here. In our environment, and I assume others too, the scenario is somewhat more complex than is usually portrayed. The development group may not know where any of what they've developed is deployed. And administrators may move servers,databases etc and update configuration as characteristics of the environment dictate. So in these cases, how does web.config transforms help? Publish can still potentially be used locally to build artifacts for a deployment package but even you'd probably want to use some automated build manager instead.

So is publish and transforms really more suited for more rudimentary development processes where the barrier between development and operations is very grey? Or am I missing something? It just seems that a lot of things I've reading about this kind of thing have good intentions but are somewhat superficial in the context of a more defined development process.

Interested to know others opinions and experiences on this.

Visual Studio :: Web.config Transforms For Web Site Projects

Apr 8, 2010

Does anyone no why web.config transforms are not available for Web Site Projects in VS2010. I thought that Web Site Projects where once introduced as the successor of Web Application Projects. But now the lack the deployment feature which I would really like to use.

Maybe someone knows a workaround, without having to convert 70 websites? Converting to Web Application Projects isn't a real option because I use Table Profile Provider by Hao Kong, which doesn't work with this type of project.

C# - Web.config Transforms Not Being Applied On Either Publish Or Build Installation Package?

Jun 16, 2010

Today I started playing with the web.config transforms in VS 2010. To begin with, I attempted the same hello world example that features in a lot of the blog posts on this topic - updating a connection string.

I created the minimal example shown below (and similar to the one found in this blog). The problem is that whenever I do a right-click -> "Publish", or a right-click -> "Build Deployment Package" on the .csproj file, I'm not getting the correct output. Rather than a transformed web.config, I'm getting no web.config, and instead the two transform files are included.

What am I doing wrong?

'Add Config Transforms' And One Click Publish Option Not Working When Upgraded From Visual Studio 2005 To Visual Studio 2010

Jul 28, 2010

I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.

Modifying Web.Config Handlers Section Generates Extra Unneeded Entries?

Jul 19, 2010

I've written a command line tool that deploys HTTP Handlers to an applications Web.Config file using a combination of System.Configuration, System.Web.Configuration and Microsoft.Web.Administration since it needs to register the handlers for both Classic and Integrated Modes as I don't know what mode end users will be using for their IIS deployments.

My issue is that is that when the tool is run the <handlers> section under <system.webServer> gets filled with the following extra unecessary entries as well as the entries I wanted to add:

[code]...

why this might be happening and how I can stop it?

When I save my configuration opened with System.Web.WebConfigurationManager I use ConfigurationSaveMode.Minimal so any inherited configuration (which is what this appears to be) should not get written.

C# - Export To Excel Leaves [?] On Line Endings Before Carriage Returns

Dec 14, 2010

I have an some code to export data form an SQL database to an Excel spread sheet. the data is entered via a web site and some of it contains multiple lines of information. I need to preserve the multiple lines but excel 2007 continues to put an [?] at the end of each line.Here's what I got so far

CellValue.ToString() // this returns [?][?] at the end of each line for excel 2007
// and a single [?] in excel 2010
CellValue.Replace("[//r]","") // this works correctly for 2010 but still leaves a [?] for 2007
Cellvalue.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "") // this removes all the line breaks.

what can I replace the Environment.NewLine with in order to still have line breaks in both excel 2007 and 2010 (with no [?]) ?

MVC :: Html.TextArea - Extra Line Break In The TextArea, Just Above The Original Text?

Jul 15, 2010

I'm working with an MVC1.0 web app and I've found a bit of an odd anomaly.

I have a search box on the first page (normal text box) and the input from this is passed through to the ViewData and on to the second page.

On the second page, I render a TextArea with this search input text from the ViewData.

Eg:

[Code]....

The problem is, there is an extra line break in the TextArea, just above the original text.

Stranger still is that if I now submit this page and the view is reloaded (after validation fails) - the original string of text has been trimmed and has no line breaks, but the TextArea now has 2 line breaks above the original text.

This can be repeated - every time the page reloads it has another line break.

It's driving me insane - does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

FYI, you can check it out yourself - on your mobile phone, browse to [URL], punch something in the search box and hit search. You'll notice one line break added the first time the page loads. Then just hit "Find Best Offer" without entering a budget or selecting a category, and you'll see what I mean about the additional line breaks.

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings Returns Null When Web.config Is Placed In Parent Dir

Jan 5, 2011

I am facing an amazing problem in ASP.NET. I have a website with many sub directories. The sub directories have aspx and aspx.cs files but do not contain web.config files. I am using the web.config file of the parent directory for storing config items for the respective code files in sub directories. But when i m trying to read the web.config using ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[] with absolutely the correct keys, there's no value being returned. Most amazing fact is, this same code works fine in dev enviroment but not in staging.

Changing Web.config From Command Line

Dec 8, 2010

I have an ASP.NET application running under IIS. I'd like to be able to change one of the web.config values in Application Settings. I know it's possible to change it programmatically as described in this answer but I'm wondering if the same thing can be accomplished from the command line.

The IIS 7 Manager allows application settings and connection strings (among other options) to be changed. My hope is there is a way to do the same via the command line for IIS 6 and/or 7.

Multi Line Text Box With Line Breaks

I insert a text box, change the parameters to multi line and then pass the string to sql. Users insert comments etc, using line breaks, however because I just pass this as a string the line breaks are not there when they view the text box after input. Example: Here is a well formatted comment. as I typed in the text box today. Inserted in to sql as a string, returns this on select:
