C# - A Build And Deployment Machine With A Web-based Dashboard?
Feb 22, 2011
I have my code sitting on Bitbucket (it is a ASP.net web application). I want to put together a build machine that has a web-based dashboard. I go to the dashboard and I say: show me all the branches and stuff on my Bitbucket project. Now get the latest code from this branch for me and build it. Then deploy it to this location for me or maybe this other location. I want this dashboard give me a history of all this builds and deployments too. I am very new to this concept I have been reading about CC.net and MSBuild and other stuff but I can not find.
I'd like to build a dashboard interface for an application I am working on. I want users to logon and get a birds eye view of the status of applications, outstanding issues, etc. I'm wondering if there are some good, pre-made controls rather than writing these from the ground up?
I have a Nant build script which referrences 30 other build scripts.
Each build script referrences a visual studio solution using MSBuild.
Each solution has 3 to 5 projects in.
Some projects are Class Librarys and some are Web Apllications.
The projects reference other projects both in their solution and out of their solution, so the projects do not use project references, they reference the the Release DLLs in the Bin folders of the other projects.
To use the software, I need to publish all the solutions together.
Which means I cannot do a deployment which is in debug mode.
Which means I cannot the step into and debug the code.
I would like to run the build script to get a deployment of the software which I can debug.
Im trying to build a deployment package out of VS2010 against a web project and want to include all IIS settings as configured in IIS Manager. However when i enable this i get the following error message
Object of type 'manifest' and path
[code]...
Now this error makes very little sense as the specified application does exist in Default Web Site. I've checked the spelling. I've tried having ISV as a virtual directory and as an Application and tried with and without the ISV folder.
On the Web page i hae the Project URL set to [URL] On the Package/Publish tab IIS web site name is set to "Default Web Site/ISV/Web.Crm.Framework/"
Bing/Google search turn up very little on this and the documentation is not really detailed enough.
When I upgraded my Web Deployment Project from VS2008 to the VS2010 beta version, I was able to execute the build locally on my development box. However, when I tried to execute the build on our TeamCity build server, I began getting the following exception:
I have an application that loads user controls into .NET web application. When I compile and test the application locally on my dev machine it works on my machine. The project builds successfully using MSBuild on our build server. However when I deploy the dll generated by MSBuild on the build server I get the following error when the application loads the control:BC30456: 'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member of 'ASP.usercontrols_somecontrol_ascx'.I took a look and compared the dll generated on my machine and compared it(looked at the file size) with the one created by the build server and noticeda difference in the file size. This is confusing considering the code being built locally and on the build server is IDENTICAL. I manually compared each file by hand. So my question is: What is causing this error? What would be different between MSBuild's compilation of the code and what is going on in Visual Studio when compiling the code?
i am facing an issue with crystal report when i deploy my web application in client side. I have a web application developed in visual studio 3.5. Our build machine contains crystal report version 10.5, we have published the web application and created the build to deploy in the client machine IIS. We have installed the redistribution of crystal report 11 in the client machine. we have currected the config file and all based on this. but we are getting a runtime error when the application try to load reports.
I have looked through this site and just can't seem to find the answer I am looking for.
We have a multi server setup for our web sites, typically (DEV/QA/PRODUCTION). Our sites are .net which require some sort of build before being deployed. We are using SVN for source control and are looking for a tool/website/something that will allow our project managers to push button deploy changes to the different environments. It seems there is no silver bullet for this, am I correct in this assumption?
I like the functionality of Springloops but can't find any information regarding its use with .net. Sparing details, it would be nice to see a diagram of sorts on the whole end to end process. What I mean by that is, if multiple different tools are the only answer (no silver bullet), then a diagram that shows where the tools sit in relation to the whole process.
I don't understand how to use this feature called "Build deployment package" in VS 2010. I go to my properties and go to package/publish web and setup it up. I click "Create deployment package as zip"
I then build the deployment package and get a zip file.
When I look into and start drilling down in the folders I find I get a path like this
[Code]....
I don't understand why it makes all these folders and on top of it why is it my path to where my soultion sits. I don't like the fact that now everyone can look in the zip and see my accoutn name, where the file was sitting, that I am using subversion.
Then it makes it so confusing to when a error happens. I deployed it on my IIS windows 2008 server and ran it and I had a error show up. It pointed to the file where the error occured and the path was point to my desktop.For the longest time I could not understand why it was pointing to my windows 7 machine desktop when it was running on a windows 2008 server located in a different country.
It was not until I found out with the zip path it made sense. But that is confusing when it is pointing to paths that don't exist on that computer.
For comparison: something like the shirt builder application at [URL] Say, if I have fabric image and want to generate base, collar, cuff etc. How should I do it on server side in .NET, and generate different components of shirt.
I want to build a event based calendar .. sorting by mnth,week,day.... also a calendar to display tasks..
For tat i have a masterpage with calendar usercontrol with tasks... and content page with calendar usercontrol with events Now content page displays both calendar with events and with tasks.

and in content page am setting values to properties in master page usign calendar events properties.
am updating the values even on selection changed and visible mnth changed events.

I was looking to build a Data Access Layer for my new web based application, I'm using ASP.NET. I'm want to build a framework not only for this application but also want to utilize it for my future projects.
Actually my main aim is to make a framework, from DAC, DAL, BL to GUI. I want suggestions from you guys that what should i adopt, what give me flexibility, which suits for both small and large size applications.
I have a page that the user can make selection using a checkbox.. at the end of the page, they have the option email those selections to others. So i'd like to loop thru the gridview if they click on the email button, first make sure they made a selection, if no selection then i will prompt them.. if they select 3 records then i need to put those 3 records into the body of the email.. Ive looked around and found some others with the same end result, but none that provided a good example of building that list dynamically for the email body. im using "using System.Net.Mail;" and have the email working fine with hard coded data for the body, i need to connect to the gridview and build the body.. Can anyone offer suggestions, examples or links to a good tutorial?
I need to develop an easy and quickly to build menu structure based on xml. The menu needs to have a "Main" menu at top of the screen and a submenu at the left of the screen. Excactly like this: [URL] where i need to get started and wich control i should use?
I have a C# program used to build and deploy a suite of websites.
I would like to programatically interact with IIS so that it changes where the virtual directory for a test system points to based the result of the build.
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 recently took over a site from a company and what my issue seems to be is that when a user sits on the page for the 30 minutes the authentication timeout occurs, but are still allowed to function inside the page(clicks, procedure calls,etc). The way they have this written is a loginview with a login in the anonymoustemplate and based on their role, once logged in, dashboard of information is displayed in the rolegroup section. Any clue to get around this.I am thinking about rewritting the dashboard information on a default page and having the login on a different page(login.aspx) and setting that page as the loginurl in the web.config, so it redirects out correctly, but if there is any easier work around I am going to dip into that.
I have an ASP.NET website set up, and I'm using Google Analytics for page tracking. The only thing I don't like is that I have to go away from my site (to the Google Analytics site) to see the report. Is there any way to show the Google Analytics data on my own site with all the AJAX that they have?
