I want to move the App.config file from MyClassLibrary1 project to the bin of the MyClassLibrary2. I want to do this on post build in VS or MSBuild using relative paths if possible. This way anybody checking out the projects will not have to modify any paths if they choose to locate the project in a different location.
I have already tried the following approaches but to no avail.
I am adding a reference of class library in web service in VS2008 and it is not copying the .config file from class library to web service. I have checked the property "Copy to output directory" of .config file and its value is "Copy Always".
I got this error in a project I did a while back. I think this was a web site project that i converted to a web app project. This was a while ago. This is an app I'm trying to run on my local machine. I'm not using IIS.
Does anyone know what this means?
Error 2
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

I'm working on different windows machines and virtual windows machines on a mac. I have a project wich uses SQL server and AD for autentication.
Right now I have to be connected to VPN so that the asp.net web application can connect to AD using LDAP string to autentivate users, I also have the SQL server on the other side of the VPN connection.
Is there any way to setup my enviroment so that I can work locally without the AD, and on a local SQL server and be able to publish the project without manually changing the web.config file?
I'm looking at an asp.net application, i notice that there are assemblies defined into two places. In web.config there is configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies/add elements. In the project file there are references setup under the Project/ItemGroup/Reference elements.
I was wondering, what is the difference between assemblies/references added in either location?
Right now, I'm doing it with an executable on the post-build event by looking at the assembly to get the version and stuff that into the web.config. It works, but isn't exactly what I was looking for.
i just upgrade my MVC 1 project to MVC 3. and now in my current project [MVC3] have no views as old have.
when i run them or debug i found that everything i can see means all pages i can see by debug this blanks views project who still not have any views. i am wonder. i restart them and try by disk cleaning but their is nothing goes right. don't wonder if you not understand it:-
i have two project [first in MVC1 and 2nd in MVC3] MVC1 project have views. MVC3 project still not have any views but for testing i make blanks page. i wonder by debugging blanks views MVC3 project i can see everything who already My MVC1 project have. why this problem come are reason is that same name of both project. i am trying this when i run only project MVC3 [no-views] but they show me everything i can see in MVC1 project. well are their any way to solve this problem
NExT STEP:
i found that the problem is that i have two copy of a project. first in MVC 1 and 2nd in MVC 3 [razor] i found that when i run in MVC3 project who is in D drive the code they debug is MVC1 who is in C drive. i find out this by checking server.mappath i wonder how they debug mvc1 project when i debug MVC3 project
I've noticed that my project builds successfully when I hit F6.But when I run it with F5 the compilation errors in my C# surface.Why is this?Is it because the JIT compilation happens when I debug with F5 but not when I build with F6?
I have an add-on for a commercial ASP.NET website. My add-on requires people to merge entries into their web.config, add/overwrite existing files, and add some DLL files to the bin folder. Is there a good and safe way to create an installer than can do this with a wizard type of installation?
i have developed simple login form as my web application. I wanted to connect it with database to add some more features. However, my VS 2008 was unable to connect with SQL Server 2008 on my laptop, I thought, I should copy and paste my entire web application folder into my web space provided by university. I have done that through ftp. However, when I have tried to debug my application (through remote desktop connection on my university server) I got some weired error.
Furthermore, when I have tried to debug my application on my laptop, it gave me an error that "Web.config file has been renamed, changed or deleted........."
So, my question is, "Is it possible to copy and paste your project simply like you do with your other files (songs, movies or photos etc...) and can debug (source as well as destination) without doing any further editing or chages?"........If no, what are the other alternatives?......
I followed the instructions from the release notes, except for one thing. I did not include the following in my web.config. Thas the the "bindingRedirect oldversion 1.0.0.0 to newVersion 2.0.0.0". I got an error message to the effect that I could not have 2 configuration sections in the web.config. I was told that as long as I had the system.web.mvc 2.0.0.0 in my BIN and, I was refereincing this same version dll that I should be fine? I am wondering if I should just create a new MVC2 project and copy my MVC1 relevent files into this MVC2 project, not sure.
I'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).
I'm struggling to get web.config transformations working with automated builds. We have a reasonably large solution, containing one ASP.NET web application and eight class libraries. We have three developers working on the project and, up to now, each has "published" the solution to a local folder then used file copy to deploy to a test server. I'm trying to put an automated build/deploy solution in place using TFS 2010. I created a build definition and added a call to msdeploy.exe in the build process template, to get the application deployed to the test server. So far, so good!
I then tried to implement web.config transforms and I just can't get them to work. If I build and publish locally on my PC, the "publish" folder has the correct, transformed web.config file. Using team build, the transformation just does not happen, and I just have the base web.config file. I tried adding a post-build step in the web application's project file, as others have suggested, similar to:
but this fails beacuse the source web.config file has an "applicationSettings" section. I get the error Could not find schema information for the element 'applicationSettings'.I've seen suggstions around adding arguments to the MSBuild task in the build definition like
/t:TransformWebConfig /p:Configuration=Debug
But this falls over when the class library projects are built, presumably because they don't have a web.config file.
I don't see any exact duplicates in the Related Questions above, so here goes. Please don't stone me if it is a duplicate.Is there any way to achieve the same end as setting 'Copy Local' to True on a web application reference? I could probably map a custom config section to the <compilation><assemblies> config section, and simple copy all assemblies to local, but that would be quite rude. Should I be looking at tapping into a build provider or something? I think the main issue here is identifying listed assemblies not normally present on the target platform, but this seems a very difficult task to me without simply using a hard-coded list,
I am trying to copy code from one project to another. There is one problem however:
The type 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Sql.SqlDatabase' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
I currenty have a project hosted on our server, when i open that project folder i see about half of the folders i should normally see, i dont see the Controllers folder, Properties folder, obj folder, as well as the csproj file. Before I could copy this same folder and put it on my laptop and after it brought all of them over it would show these folders. Now it wont, it just copies over what it sees, not the other folders...I'm trying to create a copy on my laptop that I can work on then publish it to the server...I was able to do this before just fine, now its not copying/generating the necessary folders/files to my comp
I am currently attempting to use Visual Studio 2010 'Publish' and MSDeploy functionality to handle my web deployment needs but have run into a roadblock with regards to customizing the package depending on my build configuration.
I develop in a 32bit environment but need to create a release package for a 64bit environment, so in the 'Release' configuration I have a post build event that copies the 64bit version of a third-party dll into the bin directory overwriting the 32bit version. When I use the 'Publish' functionality, even though the correct 64bit dll is being copied to the bin directory, it doesn't get included in the package.
Is there a way to get the 'Publish' to include files that have been copied into the bin directory during a post build event?
I'm getting two of these errors when trying to build the full solution for our website. Here's the full text of the errors:

I've done everything I can think of short of reinstalling Visual Studio to try and fix this and nothing works. One of my co-workers also gets these errors, but another one does not. I suspect one of us might have done a merge incorrectly to cause this given that it's referring to the development folder in here while I'm trying to build the solution of the trunk.
I've checked and double checked all the dlls, and the two projects referenced here and neither of them are using the development folder, which I suspected might have caused this. I also did a clean brand new checkout of our trunk, and still got these errors. Then I tried deleting all the .NET temporary files to solve it, and still no luck. I did a google search for this issue and found a Microsoft hotfix for the problem which involved replacing a dll - but that was for Visual Studio 2003, and I'm using 2008. The dll in question on my computer is two full versions newer than the replacement version they list in the hotfix, so I'm not sure it'd be a good idea to replace what I've got with what's mentioned there.
Short of reinstalling Visual Studio and reformatting my computer, I'm out of ideas. Reinstalling might do it, but reformatting would be too much work just to fix this bug.
I really like the new transformation feature for the web.config. It seems to work when I do "Build deployment package" but not when I just want to locally start the debugging using the green arrow. It just uses the web.config without processing theWeb.Debug.config. I can prove that because in web.config I have debug="false" with a transformation in Web.Debug.config so that it gets true but everytime VS asks if it should modify the web.config to enable debugging which it should've done automatically with the following transformation:
[Code]....
Am I missing something here? I used to work with NAnt to modify/create the web.config as a pre-build event but I thought that I wouldn't need it anymore. Am I wrong? The project is a freshly created asp.net mvc 2 web application.
