View 2 RepliesRecently I have been given assignment to allow admin to add new pages dynamically without need to rebuilding and deploying web site/ project. These pages will be having simple text.
View 4 RepliesWe've got a process currently which causes ASP.NET websites to be redeployed. The code is itself an ASP.NET application. The current method, which has worked for quite a while, is simply to loop over all the files in one folder and copy them over the top of the files in the webroot.
The problem that's arisen is that occasionally files end up being in use and hence can't be copied over. This has in the past been intermittent to the point it didn't matter but on some of our higher traffic sites it happens the majority of the time now. I'm wondering if anyone has a workaround or alternative approach to this that I haven't thought of. Currently my ideas are:
Simply retry each file until it works. That's going to cause errors for a short time though which isn't really that good. Deploy to a new folder and update IIS's webroot to the new folder. I'm not sure how to do this short of running the application as an administrator and running batch files, which is very untidy.
Does anyone know what the best way to do this is, or if it's possible to do #2 without running the publishing application as a user who has admin access (Willing to grant it special privileges, but I'd prefer to stop short of administrator)? Edit Clarification of infrastructure... We have 2 IIS 7 webservers in an NLB running their webroots off a shared NAS (To be more clear, they're using the exact same webroot on the NAS). We do a lot of deploys, to the point where any approach we can't automate really won't be viable.
I am the unfortunate person who has had to change the location of a SQL database form one server to another; that went fine. Now the issue is that after changing the location of the server name on the pages (aspx and code-behind) which are located on the new server, it still thinks that it should call data from the old server. Problem is that I do not have the solution whihc this was created from; how do I do this
View 5 RepliesWhat is the best way to add into the build/compile script of an Asp.net project to initiate a IIS to restart the website on DLL rebuild instead of the first request to the site.
Current Process
Compile Project
Wait
Hit APSX Page
IIS starts reload
Wait
Page loads
Ideal process:
Compile Project & Reload IIS
Wait
Hit APSX Page
Page loads
The first way I though of was add a request to just hit one of the pages in the "Post-Build events". Just wondering best practices. This would be similar to "Start" which opens a page immediately on build. Update: The reason I would like to accomplish this is for just for efficiency. I would the to encapsulate the compile time and the restart time into one batch to save on time on step 4 below
VS: ctrl+shift+b Wait for visual que "Build succeeded". Broswer: F5. Wait for IIS reload. (as well as Hit kbd>F5 in unanswered questions in SO)Test page
More familar with DreamWeaver. Can i sync pages with the live site from somewhere in Visual Web Developer? Or do I need to use a separate FTP tool.
View 3 RepliesWhat I want is that I can add /edit or delete view pages. I don't want a complex content management system , just looking for any examples where one can add simple view page, I have no idea how to add action result dynamically, programatically on a controller page in mvc2.
View 5 Repliesi am working on a site where client wants to add the pages from the admin panel to existing website( from the web browser) but static contents like text etc.
View 1 RepliesI am working at a site not orginally devleoped by me. The problem is that all the pages are working fine and have no problem at my local site. but the site is not showing any content at live site from database. Niether it shows an error for it. How can I find the problem?
View 7 RepliesI will shortly be going live with a new .net web application. It will be deployed to a load balanced environment over 5 servers.Before go live there is a holding site on all the 5 servers to which the domain is currently pointing ->Prior to go live, I would like to deploy the new site to 5 servers and for the holding site to remain and for it to be what the public sees. And when the time comes, I can put the new site live with a flick of a switch. I also want the new site to be on the servers so that I can test it prior to go live.I am running in IIS7. This is common practice I presume so what is the easiest way doing that above and achieve installing the new site on the servers will not affecting the holding site. The new site be accessible to me but the holding site be viewed by the general public.
View 1 RepliesI picked up a new-to-me client who had a site built in ASP.net (which I do not host).I converted the site to PHP, which worked fine.I want to set up redirects for all the pages he had in the old site (it was a small site, so there was only 8 pages).As an example, the ASP.net url for the Contact page was www.domain.com/Contact - it is now www.domain.com/Contact.php (and so on).
For 301 redirects from one PHP page to another I normally use the .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
#custom redirects
rewriterule OldPage.php http://www.domain.com/NewPage.php [R=301,L]
#end custom redirects
What can I do to redirect these ASP.net pages to the new PHP pages?They are all static pages with no dynamic content.
Is it OK to use css optimizers to before to make site live. When we can't to any other server side compression techniques (gzip, combining, sass, less etc)I want to make CSS file short and readable. How to use these tools without loosing css functionality. what options we should use and what not.
View 4 RepliesI've got a really good idea for a service I'd like to create for the web, but since I'm new to ASP.NET I'd like to get everything up and running before I go and buy hosting etc.
What I'm curious about is the database side of things.
I don't quite understand how I can create a datebase on my computer for the sake of testing and practicing (Presumably through mssql server) and then just transfer it to a hosting account when I'm ready.
I guess the main part I don't understand is how can I connect to a database on my computer via my application and then change the connection so that it points to the web version when I'm ready.
I know that when you create the database and include it in your project it's not technically inside your project (Right?), but it just seems that the application is very rigid once you've specified the connection.
The theme I'm using is not working in Visual Web Developer, I have the following code in place:
<%@

Theme="MyTheme"
Language="VB"
AutoEventWireup="false"
CodeFile="Default2.aspx.vb"
Inherits="Default2" %>
the theme is getting applied to the live site.
I am looking for a tutorial or more information on creating a Templating system to allow a user to edit the template of a ASP.Net website, Such as creating his or her own 'Skin'.point me in the right direction.

I have a intranet site with Windows Authentication. I have 'Administrator' pages in an 'Administrator' folder that will only show for those in the admin group (windows security group) These pages work
I have a folder with sub folders containing reports. These permissions are broken down for each type of report. They have similar role priveleges. When I test the application, I can navigate to the pages. When I deploy the site live on the intranet the links don't return a page. Error missing link 404. Do I need to set something in IIS?
Is there any way possible when my site is hosted to some how attach the process so I can debug the errors. Obviously as they are different environments what works in dev doesn't always work in.
View 3 RepliesI am using the following code to post data from a asp.net 2.0 site to an asp.net 2.0 web service that post the data to a server:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "SynchroniseCustomers.asmx/synchroniseCustomers",
data: JSON.stringify(customerObj),
[Code]....
Thing is, if I run this locally and drop my internet connection the web service returns a 500 error (like I want it to do) and deleteCustomer(customer.id); is not called. However, on the live site if I drop my connection the web service does not return an error and deleteCustomer(customer.id); is called even if I don't have a connection to the internet (customer gets deleted from local database without being posted to the web server).
I want to include Microsoft AntiXss V1.5 library on my live site running in a medium trust setting.However, I got an error something like:Required permissions cannot be acquired.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Security.Policy.PolicyException: Required permissions cannot be acquired.I tried this in full trust setting on my development machine and everything works good.Looks like this will run only in full trust configuration.
Is it possible with ASP.NET Master Pages to create content pages dynamically?That is, I know we can create content dynamically, but the content pages themselves,can those be created programmatically? I want to give my users the ability to define new content pages (i.e. Categories: Sofas, Tables, Lamps, and add/delete as they see fit) through a management panel. The resulting content pages should have proper URL naming, so that they index properly.An example: http://www.example.com/products/Lamps/contentpage.aspx.Is there a demonstration of this somewhere I can view?

when a user enters a bad email I am doing a check on this and throwing an exception message as follows, this works fine on the test site but for some reason the same code on the live site gives a "internal server error" (http code 500). The code below:
[Code]....
not certain why this is happening, I assume that it's some server or config difference between the test and live sites. has anyone seen this before? For a quick fix i'm registering javascript alert and showing the same text so it works but I would like to figure out why the code above is not working.
This is my third site that I use role management, but the first time this happens. I have two roles: Member and Admin. If Admin user login, Admin node on sitemap shows. It works very well on my local machine in Visual Studio Express 2008 and in Visual Studio Team 2008. But once I deploy files to live site, even admin login, the Admin node doesn't show. I have a Member management page from which I may see member's role, and I can see that user name is in the role Admin. What could be wrong?
I used ASP.Net Configuration manager to create roles, users, and access roles. Here is the code:
in general site.config
<siteMap enabled="true " defaultProvider="XmlSiteMapProvider">
<providers>
<add name="XmlSiteMapProvider" description="Default SiteMap provider." type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
siteMapFile="Web.sitemap" securityTrimmingEnabled="true"/>
