View 1 RepliesIn my experience building web applications, I've always used a n-tier approach. A DAL that gets data from the db and populates the objects, and BLL that gets objects from the DAL and performs any business logic required on them, and the website that gets it's display data from the BLL.I've recently started learning LINQ, and most of the examples show the queries occurring right from the Web Application code-behinds(it's possible that I've only seen overly simplified examples). In the n-tier architectures, this was always seen as a big no-no.I'm a bit unsure of how to architect a new Web Application.
View 2 RepliesAll too often I find myself being required to design pages that flow through a series of steps. 1) Select from a set of options. Submit.2) Populate a page with results. Make changes. Submit.3) Do something based on the previous results. Submit.4) Confirm previous actions. Submit.5) Goto 1.An ecommerce site with shopping cart would be a textbook example of this.Now, there are any number of ways to deal with this. My question is, what is the recommended way to do it in asp.net? In PHP or ISAPI I would just use standard html controls, get the post data and do stuff with it, each on a different page
View 3 RepliesI am starting to design my own CMS , and i want it to be modular to add more functionality later by me or by any other developer I put my eyes on joomla CMS (very popular ,robust and extensible) I want to make a CMS with asp.net to be just skeleton and all functions are done through components
Functions like :-
User management
Content Management ,editing and display etc.
My main idea is to let the skeleton to know from the query URL the required component and pass all other parameters to it and the component do the rest (parse parameters display results etc.)
the problem is how to achieve this how to call the component and and how to let it render its UI and pass it to the skeleton to put it in the appropriate place in the main site template
Is there a sample application to demonstrate best practices for Asp.Net? I am looking for something like SharpArch (for Asp.Net)?

View 4 RepliesWe need to secure how our web application access our SQL 2008 database on our hosted server. Any pointers where this is covered in detail? We have the following questions:1. right now the network service account runs the application pool containing our application in IIS. Should we define a local windows user account to run this application in IIS 6? Should we switch to Windows authentication?
View 3 RepliesI started learning web services. I learnt about web services, UDDI, WSDL, SOAP etc. and architecture of web services. Visual Studio is running the service in local system successfully.Then I deployed the entire folder of that web service in IIS wwwroot, and tested. Its running successfully.But when I remove the other file from the wwwrootwebService1 folder (I left only service1.asmx and bin folder) then also service is running.
Here I see that only two file are used in ruuning the webservice one is .asmx and another one is webService.dll in bin folder.I'm not able to understand where is SOAP, WSDL, namespace or other things, that are required to run web service.
I have an ASMX web service which, in turn, creates a Service Reference which ultimately calls a third party web service. So, in essence, my ASMX is acting as a proxy to the thrid party service. This works fine on my development box.When I deploy to a target server and call my ASMX web service, it fails with an object instance not set error. On closer inspection, it looks as if the failure is in the line of code which creates an instance of the Service Reference - DIM XXX as new ServiceReference.I'm guessing that something has gone missing in the deployment, but can't see what.

How can I deploy an web application on IIS via ASP.NET web application?
So instead of creating virtual directory, converting it to a application, etc I could just automate deployment via a web application?
how do I do that?
EDIT: no i do not want to deploy my application via visual studio, instead I want my web application itself to deploy a web application.
Example I use webapplication1, using webapplication1, I login to my control panel, I then setup the application to deploy within webapplication1, then I click deploy, and it deploys webapplicationX, webapplicationY, webapplicationN etc..

I finished an intranet application using webconfig to store my connection string to an Access database which has linked tables to SQL Server 2005.
Everything works perfectly, but when I publish the application on a IIS server service, it seems like all connections fail... :(

I am new to the asp .net (c#) technology.I got an assignment to work on a existing C# project which is alreay live and working.I have downloaded all the code files from the given FTP server on my local server.My Local Server Environment Details :OS - WinXP.NET Framework Version - 2.0 ( There are different versions on the machine i.e. 1.0,1.1,2.0,3.0,3.5 but through IIS i have enabled 2.0 because the application is developed in 2.0)Visual Studio - 2003 In the downloaded source code i did not found any solution file to open the project in Visual Studio , So i created the new project and by using the add existing elements i added all the project files to the newly created project.Am i doing right way.Will my application will work when i will upload the code on live server because the solution file would have mylocal machine configuration.Suggest me how can i proceed in long term vision so that in future i do not face any problem during application release.
View 1 RepliesA few years ago, I built a desktop application for a client in VS 2005 that was deployed using Click Once. Recently, the client asked me to make a simple modification to the site.
I no longer had VS 2005 (or the same machine for that matter) and was forced to upgrade the application to Visual Studio 2008.
Most of the application is fine in VS 2008 - however I am unable to Publish the application. During the project conversion process and whenever I try to publish the application, I receive a message like this:
"This project includes a password-encrypted key used for signing. Enter the password for the key file to import the key file into the local crypto-store database for use."
Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what the password would be for this application.What options do I have? Is there a way to get this working again without having to rebuild the application or have all of the users uninstall the application and reinstall it?
I have developed a web application using Visual Studio 2010 and in that application I have used AjaxControlToolkti 3.5 in some pages. When I go to Solution Explorer->References I have AjaxControlToolKit.dll file and if I take the property of that file i see the following in PATH field E:My DataEBPMinAjaxControlToolkit.dll which is a path of my development machine.
After that I went to my UAT machine (windows xp + IIS 6.0) copy the entire project in a folder of UAT machine, created a virtual directory, provided Alias and the Directory.Now when I access my UAT server from outside it works perfect except it throws "RunTime Error" on those pages where I have used
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
I guess as my AjaxControlToolkit path is refereing to my development machine location therefore its throwing error...what's the solution without making proper deployment. Actually on our UAT all the applications are using IIS 6.0 and if i go on proper deployment and IIS 7.0 (i guess it requires for deployment from Visual Studio 2010) I will have to reconfigure all the applications on UAT which I cannot do at this moment.
Can I create an incremental deployment package using either Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects or Web Deploy (Web Deployment Tool) .
I need to automatically select changed files from a source and destination or a change set on TFS and build a deployment package only with the changed files.
I've created a deployment package in visualStudio, the package is generated, but it has an awfull structure, which is basically, the path where I've my project(e.g "CONTENT/D_C/WorkSpace/MyCustomer/TheProjectName/TheDevelopmentBranchFolder/TheCurrentBranch/TheWebApplicationName/obj/Release/Package/PackageTmp/TheSiteIsFinallyHere!!!"
It's problematic, because with the web deployer of IIS, it recreate this path.
So how can I avoid the "D_C/WorkSpace/MyCustomer/TheProjectName/TheDevelopmentBranchFolder/TheCurrentBranch/TheWebApplicationName/obj/Release/Package/PackageTmp" part in visual studio?
