I'm wondering if it is possible to include Microsoft.Data.Entity.CTP.dll reference to WebMatrix site and if the Compact edition of the database would support it? I'd kinda love use something like
code-first development in my WebMatrix project. I think is even easier than writing SQL-s into the code...
right now I playing around with WebMatrix and I followed the tutorial from http://www.asp.net/WebMatrix. Chapter 6 (displaying data in a grid) described how to use a WebGrid helper very clear, but the data in the example is always retrieved from an SQL DB.I want to use the same XML file from chapter 7 (Displaying data in a chart).Using the code:
...
var DataSet = new DataSet();
dataSet.ReadXmlSchema(Server.MapPath("/App_Data/QCFiler.xsd"));
[code]...
I've found a Webmatrix help article that says MS Webmatrix "publishes the (SQL Server or MySQL) database by creating scripts that run in a database that has been created for you by your hosting provider." That is wonderful, except I can't get it to work when I'm trying to publish a MySQL database (backing wordpress) through FTP (my hosting provider does not support 'web deploy'). Again, no problem, since it is already documented that " FTP protocols cannot be used to publish MySQL database. " But this does not excuse Webmatrix from generating MySQL database install scripts for me. During the publishing step, no database install script is generated - at least that I can tell - and there is no manual option to create a database export / backup / install script.
In short, as Webmatrix goes, I'm dead in the water trying to get my database uploaded to my hosting provider. Does anyone know the trick to force Webmatrix to create the MySQL database install scripts on my local box? Once created, I can take-over the upload and install process.

I struggle with publishing 2 databases from WebMatrix using WebDeploy. On Publish settings screen I specify 2 different connection strings, but on Publish Compatibility screen Database names in both destination connection strings are equal. When I return to settings screen, original value is replaced there as well.
How destination server connection strings are evaluated? Here are connection strings from the root web.config file, which are set by hidden parameters in my parameters.xml:
<connectionStrings>
<add connectionString="Server=(local);Database=xxx;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx" name="xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add connectionString="Server=(local);Database=xxx2;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx" name="xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

I downloaded WebMatrix thinking I could create a local Intranet page and simply host it from my server. Can I do this with WebMatrix? If so how?
View 1 RepliesI'm often experiencing that keyboard shortcuts stops working in WebMatrix. This is very annoying as CTRL-S, CTRL-C, CTRL-V, etc. stops working, all of which are heavily used when programming. It's obviously hard to explain how to reproduce this, but I waswondering if someone knows a quick-fix?

My hosting company states they support .net and razor. However after uploading my website made with webmatrix and razor *.cshtml pages. When i visit my website all i get is 404.17 error messages. As an testcase i decided to add an standard .aspx page. Visiting that page gives the same 404.17 error message :-(
.
According to my webhoster my web.config is wrong. However that one is generated by webmatrix. Besides my *.cshtml *.aspx a lot of files and directories are added to the bin folder. What can i check and what should my hosting provider check. When using the check compatibility the asp.net version is shown as unknown? My hosting provider claims my site is running asp.net 4.0 in integrated mode and that should be enough.
It's unfortunate that Microsoft WebMatrix (beta) doesn't recognize that files has been modified. I suggest you implement a feature similar to Visual Studio, allowing the user to decide what to do if the file has been modified outside WebMatrix. Especially when you have a button to launch the project in Visual Studio, it should have better support for "dual-development", cause at it is now, code can be overwritten by mistake easily.
View 3 RepliesI got the first beta of WebMatrix, downloaded Drupal, and got a site more or less going. I then tried to move it to two different hosts - first the IIS server running on my own domain controller, then to my hosting service. I dumped the DB with mysqldump, and imported it to the databases running on each server. Then I ftp'd the code and configuration files to both servers, and made appropriate configuration changes (primarily the mysql connect string).On both servers I have the same problem: The site comes up in its home page and looks great, but as soon as I log in as the site admin, I get a 404 (not found) error. Since it looks like virtually everything in Drupal is driven from the database, I really haven't the faintest idea where to start debugging this.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to translate things which are sitting in Microsoft.Web.Helpers.dll? For example: to upload file tghe FileUploadHelper gets called and user is presented with two edit boxes plus 'Browse...' and 'Upload' buttons and 'Add more files' label - all this I'd like to translate as it looks really weird if I mix the languages on website.
View 3 Repliesis it possible to be able to change the WebSecurity login page ? in the _start.cshtml for exemple ? because sometimes you need to put the login page in another folder or change the name of that page ( if i speak french , i aint gona call my page login).

I am trying to limit what I write on all my .cshtml pages. For example, on everypage I am @using myDLL and "connecting" to sql server.
I write that out like
@using System.myDLL;
@{
myDLL dll = new myDLL();
dll.ConnectionString = "blablabla";
}
How can I remove the need to do that to every single page? I think I can create a web.config and do some funky stuff... can someone show examples?

I am trying to publish a sugarcrm site I created in webmatrix to my site hosted on godaddy, however when i go into the publish settings and enter the server info, passwords etc., I can only get the connection to validate for the FTP protocol setting. When i click the button to test and validate the connection for webdeploy instead of ftp, it tries then says connection timed out. How do I get this to work so that I can publish my site on godaddy?
View 3 RepliesI am new to this new version of Webmatrix. I developed a couple of web sites on the previous version about 4 years ago.
I have downloaded and installed all of the recommended products using Microsoft Web Platform Installer including IIS Express, Web Matrix and Visual Studio 2010 Express.
1) I followed the Start From Scratch and set up the Hello World web site.
When I click on Run, if I am not online Internet Explorer opens but does not display the Hello World site.
If I am online and click on Run the Hello World site does display.
2) The new Webmatrix does not not have different tabs like the previous one did: Design & HTML & Code. To see the Design I launched Visual Studio 2010 Express but it still only shows me the code. In Tools/Options I have selected both Design view and Split View but both still only show me the code.
creating a mobile version of the website I have created in WebMatrix. I have created the website and the email form and the data input forms and all seems to work ok with the SQL Server Compact 4 database, but I now want to create a version to run on my smartphone (it's a htc hd2 running windows mobile 6.5.3, though I think I may have to produce it to run on windows mobile 7 -feel free to comment).
There are some good tutorials out there for WebMatrix generally but I have yet to find anything covering the scenario above.
The other query relates to deploying the WebMatrix site. I know there is webhosting offered on WebMatrix, but I can't find a simple guide to what spec to be looking for in any package offering webhosting. (poor student looking for cheapest offer for trialling practise sites) I think I have come to the conclusion that if they offer Microsoft ASP.NET 4 then that should be ok for the Razor syntax and cope with the cshtml, and that at the basic level I am working at I don't need an SQL database as part of the hosting package as the compact travels as a file with the rest of the site.
I met the same problem as follow link:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5127284/is-this-a-bug-in-webmatrix-pagedataThe answer to this link is only available to "from a content page to a layout page", but I need "from a content page to a partial page", it still cause the problem.

I have a data table that contains some values for Certifications. This table can be updated in a different part of my application. On the web page I am currently working on, I would like to have check boxes appear for every value in the data table. I have been struggling with this trying to use a For Each loop and I cannot get it to work for anything. I am using the following Razor syntax to obtain my data (I know this works because I can display it in a WebGrid):
