I want to set up a continuous integration / build server for a C# ASP.net MVC project. I'm aware of cruise control.net, what other build servers are out there and what are the advantages or disadvantages of each?
Is there any particular one that is generally considered the one to have?
Are there any free build servers for .NET applications? We are starting project as remotely working team and right now we are searching for such solution. As far as it's an academic project we do not have funds to buy server and run CC.net on it.. Are there any charge free solutions? Or at least cheap ones.I'm asking rather about the service on the internet, not software solution
View 6 RepliesI am trying to set up my web site on a stand alone server using Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 which will access SQL server database (2008) on windows 2008 R2 server (also not in the domain) I am using form authentication and I have configured a custom identity account in IIS6. The local account is on both servers with same password and I have registered the account using aspnet_regiis.exe -ga The application pool in my iis6 has the custom local account set as the identity and my web.config file has the appropriate tags in the system.web element <identity impersonate="true" />
The problem is the local account does not seem to get passed to the sql server. Right now my iis settings are anonymous access (using the local acct vs isr) and no authentication specified under that - I did try Integrated and basic but it prompts for the username and password which I do not want. One article I read stated this: windows authentication does not support delegation (passing credentials from one server to another) and is limited to the one hop rule, only a primary token can be passed to a second server. windows
authentication on iis (all versions) gives the thread a secondary(impersonation) token which can not be used to access any network resouce
I am wondering if ASP.Net MVC 2 is a good choice for my current project. I want to build a social site that will allow for plugins or modular apps to be added on to it. An example of what I am talking about would be socialengine.net or even Joomla.
I was thinking that mvc areas would make good modular apps to plug into a core app but wondering if some sort of installer could be created that would wire things up automatically.
I am trying to get a functionality where on a click event a popup comes up. And on this pop up there are controls like a text box,a button and a grid which can speak back and forth with the server. Also I need to get values from the grid when the pop up is destroyed.
View 1 RepliesI have a question regarding a situation that occurs with GridView, ObjectDataSource in ASP .NET application. The GridView is linked to the ObjectDataSource and both are included within an UpdatePanel letting the GridView to fill in an asynchronous way from a form in the same page so it gets more rows as the user enters the data:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Periodicty" HeaderText="Periodicty" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="Periodicty" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource1" runat="server"
SelectMethod="GetSessionNames" TypeName="Simulation"></asp:ObjectDataSource>
<asp:Label ID="Label27" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="NewWebSessionButton" EventName="Click" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
I start the project with Visual Studio 2008, fill the form and it works correctly. Then I stop the execution: rerun again and the data I entered in the previous run is in the GridView. Is like some sort of cache saved the data from the session before. I checked that EnableCaching property is set to false for the ObjectDataSource. If I Rebuild Web Site in Visual Studio (not just Build) then it works corretly leaving the GridView empty. Is this caused just becuase of Visual Studio? Can it be turned off? And will it happen in the final IIS it will run on?
I want to build a survey system where you can build a form with questions and some answers to these questions and then members who will log in will be able to take the test.
Then i want to present the different results from the test in some diagram or something like that.
It may be obvious to everyone. I am learning this: what is difference between build solution and build website
View 2 RepliesI have a large solution which has multiple apps which all share some common site elements (masterpages, navigation, etc).
Currently, all of these get built into a single DLL
If my structure looks like:
WebRoot
- Common/
- Shared/
- Images/
- App1/
- App2/
- etc
Is there a build tool which will allow me to build WebRoot.dll, App1.dll, App2.dll? I don't believe this is possible in VS2008 or the MSBuild tool.
I have a TFS build set up to deploy an ASP.net project to a test server.The build works great, and deploys to the test server fine, but instead of putting it into the Website directory that my IIS webserver is configured for, it puts the build into Website_20100511.6
Why is the date suffixed to the directory name? Is there a way to turn that off so I can publish directly to the Website?
I need to build web application that will do:1 - build web pages. 1a - build template for page. 2 - add module(by module I mean ContacUs form, Search, Billing System...). Each module can be constructed by submodules or diveded to submodules 2a - build module(add form, textbox, button...) and that all
entered data by user could be saved in dbCan you advise me a DB structure that will contain it allI looked some cms db, but it's NOT this. Please, don't ask why I mess with it. I just need to build it.
I'm planning on making a website and host it on my dedicated server.but I would also like the website to be available when the dedicated server (from here on revered to as server) is offline for what reason that maybe.How would I go about doing this? the server would get the domain name from my webserver. I already set up the DNS's to do so, but incase the server cannot be contacted I would like the webserver to take over or something?
View 10 Replieswithout using a database i wanted a file to point to the newest revision of a file. Someone suggested using a shortcut. Knowing i can rewrite file.ext to file.ext.lnk i thought it was a great idea. Then i tried it, my server (VS 2010rc) serves the shortcut rather then the file. Not what i wanted...How do i serve the file the shortcut is pointing to? NOTE: I am planing to use windows 2008 as my server so a solution should work on that as well. The OS i am running is windows 7.
View 4 RepliesMy goal is to generate emails inside of my Asp/VB.net program. After following instructions very carefully using http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/072606-1.aspx some stackoverflow users helped me modify my class object on the asp.net page. We also revised my host/port settings in the web.config file. I still throw an exception when I try to send email which says 'Unable to connect to remote server.' After talking to the godaddy.com tech support they said I need to use the incomming server pop.secureserver.net and the outgoing server smtpout.secureserver.net. He had no further clarification. My question is, how do I set up the incomming and outgoing servers?
View 1 RepliesI see a ton of questions about uploading multiple files, but none about uploading a single file to multiple servers, so here goes... I have an ASP.NET app that will be running on two load balanced servers, and I would like to allow users to upload files and have them end up on both servers. What is the cleanest way to do this? I am using IIS 6 btw. Some ideas that come to mind are:
1) Use a virtual directory that points to some shared location that both servers can access. Will there be any access issues if the application runs at Network Service? I'm assuming the application will need to run as a user account that exists on the shared location machine. How should the permissions be set for this?
2) It would be nice if I could via jQuery post the request to both of my servers, referencing them by their port numbers. Even though the servers are on the same domain, this violates the same origin policy, right? Is there another solution I'm overlooking? How do other sites do this?
I am developing a web application and need to continue development while travelling. I have SQL Server express installed on my desktop and my laptop but (obviously) the server names differ on each machine. eg "MydesktopSQLSERVEREXPRESS" and "MyLaptopSQLSERVEREXPRESS".
Anyone know of a way I can use a generic connection string or something so I can simply transfer the solution file from my desktop to my laptop and continue development on the road?
I have a web application that will be distributed over 2 servers and the Database will be on a server other than the 2 servers. so application on each server will access database exists in another server.I am using caching in the application and when data changed the cache is cleared and the problem now how each server will feel with cache changes on the other server?
I have tried SQLCache dependency before and i have heard about Memcached, Velocity and Enterprise cache so which one will be more efficient and optimal for this case? and i have another solution to create webservice method on each application and when the cache is cleared in one application it will request the webservice method on the other application to clear cache there.
Which technique is more efficient and optimal in performance and security? and is SQLCache dependency related to SQL database only or can be applicable to other databases like Oracle?
Note: I am using load balancer to distribute requests coming for the application among the 2 server
I have an ASP.NET website which is running currently on IIS. Now I want to move that site to run on Cassini.
What are the advantages of Cassini over IIS? What are its disadvantages?
What are your experiences using Cassini as a production web-server?
i have searched quite a bit on this one and can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for.
I think my first problem is this: How would I bring back a DataTable FOR copying? I know I would need:
Dim dt as Datatable
But then how do I get the Original Datatable in there? I think that once I have that part, I can just make a connection to my new DB inside a copy subroutine (using the .Copy method) and be done with it. That part I have the code pretty much done for, I think.
How can I access remote server's details like RAM details, CPU details etc with a ASP.NET application. I used System.Management class and wmi but the application runs too slow. Is there any another way to do this which is fast and efficient.
View 4 RepliesIf same web application is deployed on three different servers, which things we need to take care of and what things should be common amonges all three?
View 3 RepliesWe have following issue. In our environment our application works well, but in clients host - bad. The first problem was that if css's href specified as href="css/res.css" in case of url http://oursite.com/blog/10/2010 it tries to load it from the path http://oursite.com/blog/10/2010/css/res.css. In our environment it loads it from http://oursite.com/css/res.css. So we fixed this problem by replacing href="css/res.css" to href="/css/res.css" (added slash). It worked.
Second problem: we integrated in our site as part of app BlogEngine 1.4.5. It is placed in subfolder in app's directory called "Blog". When admin tries to delete post, BlogEngine tries to redirect to some non existing page with specified name (which is title of the post) with query string "deletePost=postId". In our environment it works as expected, but in clients - it doesn't work. My browser follows this link and I see home page of my site (which is default.aspx from the root).
