C# - How To Handle Temporary Files In Application
Jan 6, 2010
Recently I was working on displaying workflow diagram images in our web application. I managed to use the rehosted WF designer and create images on-the-fly on the server, but imagining how large the workflow diagrams can very quickly become, I wanted to give a better user experience by using some ajax control for displaying images that would support zoom & pan functionality.
I happened to come across the website of seadragon, which seems to be just an amazing piece of work that I could use. There is just one disadvantage - in order to use their library for generating deep zoom versions of images I have to use the file structure on a server. Because of the temporary nature of the images I am using (workflow diagrams with progress indicators), it is important to not only be able to create such images but also to get rid of them after some time.
Now the question is how can I best ensure that the temporary image files and the folder hierarchy can be created on a server (ASP.NET web app), and later cleaned up. I was thinking of using the cache functionality and by the expiration of the cache item delete the corresponding image folder hierarchy, or simply in the Application_Start and Application_End of Global.asax delete the content of the whole temporary folder, but I'm not really sure whether this is a good idea and whether there are some security restrictions or file-system-related troubles. What do you think ?

The majority of files in the Temporary ASP.NET File folder for a given application get deleted by ASP.NET following compilation -- .DLL and .PDB files amongst others remain.
Our compiler produces proprietary debug information files which are amongst those that get deleted.
Marking the files read-only prevents this but are there other options available?

What's the easiest way to delete all the files from my Temporary ASP.NET files in .NET 4.0 on my development box? It seems like I have to shutdown Visual Studio 2010, stop IIS, and then it will let me. Is there a simpler way?

Class file Conflicts in C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files is preventing me from building the solution. Even though I try emptying out the folder, each time Visual Studio starts the build process, it brings in the class file in to the temp folder with the same folder name. If I restart the machine or leave it overnight, project build without error. Is there anyway to tell Visual studio to delete/ignore/clean any lingering class files that could be in the temp folder?
Clean solution option in VS doesn't work either. Class file in conflict are from the App_Code folder.

my aspx web app needs to allow clients to load files (excel files) to some place in the server, to be able to open and read content via OLEDB immediataly after upload. Are there any "best practices" or suggestions about location, naming and security of temporary files folders? Also I need these files to be automatically deleted after use, I would like to be sure they always are. VS 2008/ .net 3.5 framework/ Windows server 2003 and 2008

Actually we have series of images named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg & 5.jpg.
when i delete 2.jpg, then i rename 5.jpg with 2.jpg. But all this happens on server & on page load it is displaying 2.jpg from temporary files, not from server.
Solution is in two ways:-
1. either I will make page not to save any images on client's system(in temporary internet files).
2. or i will have to delete all images from temporary internet files.

I have a problem only in IE where my JQuery filetree cannot be refreshed unless the browser is closed, or temporary internet files is deleted via Tools -> Internet Options
Anyone know of a way so that this particular page never gets cached into temp internet files?
I've tried putting this in the header
[Code]....
As described here: [URL]
Nothing seems to work :
Preferably a solution for both IE8 and IE6 (yes i still have to support that goddamned browser)

I know this is a bit like how long is a piece of string question, but I'm wondering how big some peoples ASP.NET Temporary Files folder, gets. I wish to move this folder to a RAM DISK so I'm trying to see how big this should be set, to.
eg. <compilation tempDirectory="R:ASP.Net Temporary Folder" debug="false">
This is only for my DEVELOPMENT Machine (to help speed up compiling -> temp crap goes to ram instead of the Disk).
Is 256MB big enough? What about file uploading? where do those files (temporarily) go?

I have faced a peculiar issue in the production environment where I have got a main Application named "Configurator". it has a page which submits the asynchronus request for a batch process. after the batch process is started it calls a web service to genarate a report. the issue is that the number of times the service gets called the main application dll gets copied in the temporary aspnet files in either the service folder or the application calling the service named "GenerateReport" which is making the temporary ASPNET files as huge as 8 GB per day, which is in tuen is bringing the production server down.
I have tried simulating it is UAT environment with the same depolyed code and the same IIS settings. But I was not able to replicate the issue in UAT.It seems to be a very specific and peculiar issue.

I'm using Microsoft Chart control in my ASP 3.5 application and since it's local it works well. After uploading it to my remote host, I received an error message regarding unauthorized access to somewhere on the server. So I changed the Image StorageMode to UseImageLocation. Now it works well, except that by each page browse, it produces a couple of images which I cannot get rid of. I found a deleteAfterServicing property set in the ChartImageHandler key defined in web.config and I set it to true, but it didn't help. What could I do to delete the temporary files and avoid bloating?

i'm creating a cookie with an expiration of 12 hours from now. when i run my solution locally and go into C:Users..AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet Files and look at the expires property of my cookie the date and time are correct. However, when I deploy this to our web server and go to the website i notice the cookie that got created for it has an expiration date of 2 years from now, minus a day. So the cookie should be set to expire on 12/29/2010 8:00 PM for example instead shows 12/28/2012 8:00 PM. Here's the code i'm using to create the cookie, pretty basic. And yes, the date on the web server is correct. I really want the cookie to expire in 12 hours, not 2 years.

Input: - 3 excel files storing them into global temporary tables after reading cell by cell.
Requirement is to process inputs files and generate a single excel report.
After report gets exported, data in tables in should be deleted (i am using global temp tables for this).
But the problem is, two users are unable to generate report simultaneously.
Is this problem with global temporary tables?

so I accidentally deleted the "Temporary ASP.NET files" folder instead of just purging its contents. Looking at the same folder on a different machine there's really a lot of detail in the security setup.
Is there a simple way to restore the this folder with its full suite of permissions, the way ASP.NET intended?

I know that ASP.NET MVC has error filter attribute to handle specified error type. However, this feature cannot catch any error that occurs when application start. Therefore, I need to add some code to "Application_Error" method for handling this error like the following code.
public void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{// At this point we have information about the error
var ctx = HttpContext.Current;
var exception = ctx.Server.GetLastError();

I'm testing a very simple aspx page on Visual Studio's own ASP.NET Development Server(the local server). On the webpage there is a FileUpload control which can upload jpg file up to 2MB without problems. On uploading bigger files, the browser immidiately show "The web page cannot be displayed". It does not show any exception which really puzzles me. "The web page cannot be displayed" is normally caused by network problem, but in this case it's a local server and it can handle smaller jpg file fine. Whta's the problem here?

The other day I came across an alternative way of accessing web.config configuration in some article. It allowed to:provide path to web.config file modify web.config configuration at runtime like:config.MySetting = "new value";load web.config from another web application in the same IIS (I'm not sure about it)work with configuration using class instance instead of static ConfigurationManager class

Almost all the applications I worked on involve some look-up values. For example, a lot of times a list of languages ( English, French, etc...) need to be displayed on the WebForm for user to choose.
The common data structure for such look up values include an integer Id and a string as name. Since these look-up values are used so frequently, and they are unlikely to be changed. Most of time, instead of grabbing them from database, I just define a global enum in C# like this
enum Language : int { English = 1, French = 2}
I've been handling look-up values like this for years now. I knew it may not be the best way to handle them. For example, every time a new language is added to the system, somebody needs to remember to update that enum.

I am trying to handle concurrency in my application. Basically if user A has a support ticket open which currently has a status of 'Active' and user 'B' opens the same ticket and closes it (changing its status to closed), I would expect a confict execepton to be thown when user 'A' tries to close the support ticket. For some reason this is not happening. I have checked that Update check is set to 'Always' in the dbml file. Here is an exerpt of my code. // Update 'Active' lead to 'Close'

Hopefully this is the right place for this question. I have done a fair amount of research and yet to find anything that matches what I want. What I'm envisioning is the following. Let me know if any of you know of a program that will do what I want. Also it must be web-based anom user -> fills out form -> email gets sent to admin saying xyz has filled out form abc with links to approve/disapprove request.
admin can also login and edit form and resent results to original submitter. Also once the admin approves/disapproves request the original submitter gets an approve/disapprove email.
and you can search by date submitted, specific project/form, status of request(submitted, approved, disapproved). all on where I could find this? I started to look into drupal with workflows and actions but it just doesn't flow right for this
