What is a good approach to managing a debug and release connection string in a .NET / SQLServer application? I have two SQL Servers, a production and a build/debug and I need a method of switching between the two when my ASP.NET application is deployed. Currently I simply store them in the web.config and comment one or the other out, however that is error prone when deploying.
View 6 RepliesI have few confusions about build. What is release build and debug build? What are the output files for these builds? I had seen debug and release folders in bin folder. So the respective output goes into the respective folder? elaborate release and debug build. I dont want the difference.
View 3 RepliesI wish to compile my asp.net MVC application using aspnet_compiler.exe from the comandline to speed up cold startup.
I'm wondering how it determines if it should do a release or debug build. Is it always release? Does it depend on what the web.config file says when you run aspnet_compiler.exe?
What happens to an application that's been compiled w/ aspnet_compiler.exe if someone changed the debug attribute in the web.config file after it has been published?
My requirement is to check whether my application is in debug mode or release mode in DLL class.
View 6 RepliesI'm on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5 I have set up two web applications on the web site; one for the debug-build and one for the release-build for our system. I have not been able to figure out how to setup the two web applications so that they do not share the same native module.
When I access the debug-application (http://dev1/debug) it loads "G:workspaces ewreposdebuginRXWeb.dll" and the site works fine. However, when I access the relase-application (http://dev1/release) it also loads the "G:workspacesewreposdebuginRXWeb.dll" which is not want I want. I want it to load the "G:workspacesewreposeleaseinRXWeb.dll". Apart from that the relase-application works fine, loading for example its own database, javascript-files, images and so on.
I have tried many different configuration but obviously there is something I do not understand.
These are the changes I have made to applicationHost.config:
Under the section <globalModules> the following to rows are added at the end:
<add name="RXDebug" image="g:workspaces
ewreposdebuginRXWeb.dll" />
<add name="RXRelease" image="g:workspaces
ewrepos
eleaseinRXWeb.dll" />
The web.config for the debug-application looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>............
Is it possible to make some values in my Web.Config file dependent on whether I am building a release or debug based ASP.NET application?
View 3 RepliesI have an application that uses various script files. These files are not used for any AJAX purposes. However, I am using MS AJAX Libraries.

View 1 Replies any way to deploy code with both release and debug mode together. I know it is logically impossible.
My requirement is to deploy debug based aspx page(for temporary) in release mode build in prod.. the concept is to avoid to put full release build on production again & again.
I am having a hardtime script debugging in VS2010 and IE8. I am using .net 4 framework.When i try to make a break point in my client script in VS2010, i get the respond "This is not a valid location for a breakpoint". Then I have tried to use IE8 Developebar, but when i try starting the script debugger it throws an alert, and tell's me that it couldent attatch to the process, because there may be another debugger attatched to the process.
View 4 RepliesI am developing a web site in Visual Studio 2008. I have a project for the web application and several class libraries as references. When I add the references I select the file under bin/debug in the class library folder. When changing the project to release mode the references still point to the .dll in the debug folder. Shouldn't this change automatically. How should I add the references so that debug and release are properly referenced?
View 1 RepliesI have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?
View 1 RepliesPossible Duplicates: Debug/Release difference Performance differences between debug and release builds
What exactly is the different in compiling and running an asp.net/c# project in Debug mode VS Release Mode?
I'm trying to find a definite explanation of what effect compiling in release mode has on a .Net 3.5 web application versus debug="false". So far it looks like setting debug="false" has the same effect and compiling in release mode has been depreciated but I can't find any firm evidence this is the case.
This question looked promising but seems to be answering what's the difference between debug and release builds rather than release mode and debug="true":
[URL]
However it does link to this article:
[URL]
"This new compilation model makes the Configuration Manager for a web site obsolete. The only option appearing in a Visual Studio 2005 web site "project" is a Debug configuration. Don't fret - it means nothing. The web.config file now rules the school."
Now that is the closest I've had to an answer and it does seem to imply that release mode has been depreciated in favor of debug="false" but I can't find any confirmation of this on MSDN or any other source.
clarify this is a "Web Application Project" I am referring to.
To rephrase my question slightly, if I have the following setting in web.config:
<compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="false">
What effect (if any) does release and debug mode compile have?
how can i tell the diffence between a website that has been published in release mode and the same website that was published in debug mode

View 3 Replies I just upgraded to VS 2010 and MVC 2.0 and I noticed the web.config has two additional files attached to it? Are these files used to specify debug and release specific settings, so you don't clutter up the main web.config?
Does it even make sense to place a connection string in the root web.config file if I have have a local and remote one in the debug and release web.configs respectively.
just for my testing purpose i know i can define both the connection's outside in a single web config file by different name's and access them in my front end according to it but what if i want to have seprate for both connection's web.config situation is like this see image so i want to access my connections from second web config file how i can do that.

View 1 RepliesI am preparing for an Access2007 db conversion at the beginning of the year and would like to know what the best process would be for connecting to the sqlserver2005 database. I have read about adding the connection string to the web.config file. I have also read about using ADO.NET and put the connection information into a class and not the web.config file.
I would like to hear from others as to what you have used, are using, or plan on using for a webapp (vs2010), and why so I can get an understanding.

My question is, when I want to connect to SQL using a "trusted connection" in the Connection String, what user will actually be passed into SQL?
I thought it would pass my logon details, but it is coming back with an NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON error, which seems to point towards it not passing in my logon.

View 3 RepliesProject 1: Web Application (.aspx/.ascx/.cs/)*
Project 2: Class Library (has one static class, Repository.cs, which is full of static methods used to put/get data to/from DB)
Project 3: Web Service (allows few of the mthods of the Repository to be used via WebService)
Conditions:
There will be about 10 copies of Project 1 (WebAppliation) runngin on IIS each for a seperate client.I want each copy of Project 1, and the Web Service to read/write data from/to DB via Repository only. So all 11 Projects (10 Project 1, and 1 Wb Service, will be using repository as DAL)Questions1) Where shall i put the connection strings??? because each web application will have its own connection string, i cant save it in repository. And if i keep it at the web.config of each project, then what is the best way to pass it to repository?
2) Repository.cs is a static class with all static methods, is this a good approach? Should it be static? or should i not make it static in order to allow creationof objects of Repository.cs. (this way may be i can also send connection strings to the objects
of repository, in whatever project required...???)
