Website Versus Web Application
Mar 29, 2010
I am using VS 2008/VB.Net and am trying to figure out if I should use a "Website" or a "ASP.Net Application" project type.
I have to create an online tool to allow users to manage data, there should be no more than 5-10 users at a time on the system. I need to use Profile/Membership with the tool.
I plan to use the <correction> N-layer </correction> (not "n-tier") architecture with a Business layer and DB layer.
I am wondering about the advantages/disadvantages of each.
Is the "website" model really outdated? I notice that the Website model has in built support for many more namespaces but with asp.net application does not, you have to add a lot of references.

What is an appropriate use case for all of the above? It seems session and cache are quite similar, and I can't think of much use for application.

I understand that MVC can be added to an existing ASP.Net Webforms Web Site Project as explained in this post.
I am wondering if any expert here could tell us what MVC related functions of VS2010 would be missing in this scenario. For example, the very useful shortcuts of "Add View..." and "Go To View" seem to be missing. keep in mind this is about aWeb site project not Web application project so no project file (i.e. .csproj) is involved.

I've gone rounds with this ever since I started programming classic ASP 12 (or so) years ago and I've never found a great solution because the architecture of ASP and ASP.NET has always been a swamp of bad practices, magic shared singletons, etc. My biggest issue is with the HttpApplication object with its non-event events (Application_Start, Application_End, etc.).
If you want to do stuff once for the entire lifespan of an HTTP application, Application_Start is the obvious place to do it. Right? Not exactly. Firstly, this is not an event per se, it's a magic naming convention that, when followed, causes the method to be called once per AppDomain created by IIS.
Besides magic naming conventions being a horrible practice, I've started to think it might be a reason there exist no such thing as a Start event on the HttpApplication object. So I've experimented with events that do exist, such as Init. Well, this isn't really an event either, it's an overridable method, which is the next best thing.
It seems that the Init() method is called for every instantiation of an HttpApplication object, which happens a lot more than once per AppDomain. This means that I might as just put my startup logic inside the HttpApplication object's constructor.
Now my question is, why shouldn't I put my startup logic in the constructor? Why does even Init() exist and do I need to care about Application_Start? If I do, can anyone explain why there is no proper event or overridable method for this pseudo-event in the HttpApplication object?
And can anyone explain to me why in a typical ASP.NET application, 8 instances of my HttpApplication are created (which causes the constructor and Init to run just as many times, of course; this can be mitigated with locking and a shared static boolean called initialized) when my application only has a single AppDomain?

my ASP.NET application reads an xml file to determine which environment it's currently in (e.g. local, development, production).
It checks this file every single time it opens a connection to the database, in order to know which connection string to grab from the Application Settings.
I'm entering a phase of development where efficiency is becoming a concern. I don't think it's a good idea to have to read a file on a physical disk ever single time I wish to access the database (very often).
I was considering storing the connection string in Application["ConnectionString"].
[code].....
I didn't design the application so I figure there must have been a reason for reading the xml file every time (to change settings while the application runs?) I have very little concept of the inner workings here. What are the pros and cons?

I need to create a sample project (for educational purposes) and I'm faced with the choice between Web Site Projects or Web Application Projects. This feels similar to the choice between C# and VB. My question isn't about the differences between these 2 choices, but rather which is more popular (relevant, recognizable) to the general ASP.NET community.Has anyone seen any statistics in terms of adoption/usage of these 2 different project types? What project type should I use to reach the widest audience?Update: I created a poll on this subject - http://poll.fm/2e6cy

Which is better from a performance perspective?
Accessing a Global Application Variable (Application["foo"])
versus
Accessing an AppSetting variable from the web.config
Does .NET Cache the AppSetting variables so that it is not accessing the web.config file with every use?

Im building a image gallery which reads file from disk, create thumbnails on the fly and present them to the user. This works good, except the processing takes a bit time.
I then decided to cache the processed images using the ASP .NET Application Cache. When a image is processed I add the byte[] stream to the cache. As far as I know this is beeing saved into the system memory. And this is working perfect, the loading of the page is much faster.
My question is if there are thousands of images which gets cached in the Application Cache, will that affect the server performance in any way?

Currently, on our production IIS web farm, we host about 15 applications in a single App Pool (Default App Pool). There are two websites and about 13 virtual directories.A colleague has recommended that we change our IIS configuration so each application is a separate App Pool (with identical settings).
Is there any drawback or potential issues to doing this?Is it possible that ASP.NET applications could have been built with the requirements that they are all within the same App Pool?

I have an application which has a website and a project. The project contains an executable file which I'm trying to run as a process from the website's Global.asax file's application_start(). When I run this application from localhost, everything runs smoothly but when I deploy the application on IIS, application_start's code is executed and I can see the process name in the taskmanager but I cannot see the window which the console application normally starts in (when i run the application on localhost) and neither is the code executed.
Here's what I'm doing:
-- copied website and project in wwwroot
-- made a virtual directory of the website
-- when i run the website, I see the process in taskmanager but the code is not executed.
I am new to deployment and IIS, and would really appreciate I someone could tell me what i'm missing

I'm using Visual Studio (VS) Professional Edition 2010 and IIS 7. I'd like to publish a wpf application for download from a website. But for some reason, when I go to Build > Publish in VS, select a publishing location, select that users will install the application from a website, and then try to browse to a URL on my machine, VS gives me an error message saying:
To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components:
IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility ASP.NET
I'm not really sure why this is happening. I'm running IIS 7 on my computer, and it was my understanding that Metabase has been rendered obsolete in the latest version of IIS..

I want to develop an interactive website in ASP.Net and what I mean by interactive is that it has a back-end application to provide real-time logic (which does not follow HTTP's model of Request/Response) and eventually it is provided with dynamic *.aspx pages with an SQL Server database.
And how would the components go together (as a design and as a communication mechanism) to have a scalable application?
EDIT: Ok, the story is as you know, we all are tending to get something more vital than HTTP model, I want my back-end application to be persistent working in real-time, for example, It would have some constant-intervals to do some queries on the database.
The design as I picture it is a server (holding an ASP.Net website, the back-end application and the database), the design may get more hybrid with time. The website is the interactive interface for the users, the website needs (sometimes) intensive calculations and queries which better be handled by the back-end application, then the application delivers the website the info to be wrapped and formatted as HTML markup to be returned the user eventually.

At the moment I have to migrate a web-application (ASP.NET 2.0 with Masterpages) from IE6 to IE7/IE8. Where can I find hints and guidelines for this topic? The webapplication looks fine in IE6 but completely awful in IE7 and IE8. In IE8 I cannot see the compatibility button.

How do I install a web application as a web site in IIS6 using the regular Web Setup Project? I do not want to install the application as a virtual directory in "Default Web Site", but a new web site (and if possible create the site during the installation).
Also, is it possible to select the ASP.Net 4 Application pool as default in the setup wizard?

IIS 6
ASP.NET 3.5 (C#.NET)
We are having an issue where the same set of files behave differently depending on if it is a root IIS website versus an application under an IIS website. The urls produced using ResolveUrl() are different - i.e.:
<a href="<%=ResolveUrl("~/contact.aspx") %>">Contact Us</a>
As the root website, it produces: http://contact.aspx
As an application under a website, it produces: http://domainname.org/DSC/contact.aspx
Both are utilizing the same files. The first example is its own website, the second is a virtual directory made into an application (titled DSC). Both also use the same application pool, and same configuration, document and security settings (I made sure all the settings were the same in IIS between both).
Everything that has been researched indicates ResolveUrl() does refer to the IIS application that the webpage is under. I have also read several places that even if the information isnt completed in IIS (in this case it is), a root website is considered an application. Therefore, it should produce the appropriate web address, but isnt.

I have two web site sites on IIS 7 (Default, Custom). Both Sites host the same web application.
Some of the web application behavior changes depending under what web site it is running. Is there a way for the web application to find out what is the name of the WebSite under which it is handling the current request.
