I am working on VS 2008 and 3.5 framework. I had three windows services. I placed all three in a single solution, created installer individually for each of them. Then created a setup project. When I build it says build failed . But I checked on the errorlist, (i enabled the diagnostics in options menu), but there was no error at all. I went ahead and installed. There were no issues, But there was no service showed up in the services.msc.
I installed each service individually , using installutil command, it showed up. But my requirement is to bundle these services and deploy to the client. The client should install it.
I have created setup and deployment projects. I have to design each screen like welcome screen, userscreen,install screen etc. I can see user interface to design that screens. I don't want like this way. I have doubt.Can i design that forms? If yes how to add ADD Dialog screen. How to attach that forms. Kindly let me know. Becoz all installation pages have to design our wish.
Now i want to deploy that application without any interaction of IIS. I want to make setup of my project so that i can directly install it in client's pc. I have tried many ways of doing this. I have tried Xcopy method and even tried of adding web setup project.
I'm getting the following error on deployment of a tested application where ajax runs fine on the developmental system On deployment, I'm running asp 4. I downloaded ajax4 and extracted it into the /program files/ajax folder. Do I need to register any .dlls or anything? I don't see that in the Ajax installation instructions.
Server Error in '/' Application. Parser Error

I have a SL app that can be run in-browser or out-of-browser. I want the browser to:
Cache the xap file Load the xap from the cache if it has not changed or re-download it if it has changed.
More details
Setting a future expires header obviously solves the caching problem but then I cannot force the user to download the latest version. Normally I would just add a querystring to the url (eg url?v=1) but I cannot do this as this breaks the out-of-browser functionality. eg the app thinks it is not installed when in fact it is.
no cache
If I set Cache-Control to no-cache, Chrome and Firefox correctly send a request to the server for the xap but use the cache if a 304 is returned. IE8 just downloads the file again as does Safari.
must-revalidate
Setting Cache-Control to must-revalidate again works correctly in Chrome and Firefox but Safari always downloads the xap again while IE8 always uses the cache.
I am having deployment issue with AjaxControlToolKit.dll. I copied the DLL to my local bin dir, and it works fine. But when I do the build on test server, the files are not in Visual Source Safe anywhere, so the site doesn't work. What could be the issue?.
I have a sql server query that has connection in Default.aspx page. I have the page works perfectly when i browse from server, but when i try to access through it remotely from my machine. i get error.
i asume this would be security , but i am using windows security.
We had some content restructure recently and I'd like to put in some redirect rules into web.config so bookmarks to the old pages can get routed to their new locations/pages.I tried using this approach:
But all I'm getting when I go to "[URL] is our http 404 page.Am I doing something wrong, or is the httpRedirect tag in web.config not supported in mono?
how to set up work space on my computer using vs 2008. i am working with 3 junior developers and i got our own web hosting (not local own server yet). i am having problems that all juniors upload their files and overrided all the code.. so i want to set up work space on each computer and check in to local web server or web hosting we are using vs 2008 team editions, is there any possible in other version like professional and standard.
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'm running into a weird issue that I can't find an answer for anywhere I've looked (and I've looked a ton).I built a web deployment project with Visual Studio 2008 Team System on my old Win XP machine. This has always worked flawlessly and installed everywhere. I can also copy this MSI to my new Windows 7 Ultimate machine and it again installs just fine.
HOWEVER, when I rebuild that exact same web deployment project on my new Win7 machine, also using VS2008, the MSI will build OK, but when I then run it to install my software I get a dialog box telling me "the installer was interrupted." Interestingly, when I built this MSI in my new environment one additional warning popped up during the build process, which was "Unable to copy the schema file '(null)'"After many searches and reading different web pages, I know this has to do with these two registry keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0DeploymentSchema] "DefaultMSISchemaFile"="c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\Deployment\Vspkgs\..\VsdSchema\Schema.msi" "DefaultMSMSchemaFile"="c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\Deployment\Vspkgs\..\VsdSchema\Schema.msm"
Yet, everything checks out. All permissions are correctly configured, etc., etc.Then, when I enable the built-in administrator account and log in as that, and then rebuild this same web deployment MSI the "Unable to copy the schema file '(null)'" warning no longer appears. Then when I log back out, log back in as myself and then run this newly built MSI it installs fine, just like the original one that was built on XP.I also tried uninstalling VS2008 and re-installing it as the super user, but that also didn't change anything. And yes, I did also configure devenv.exe to run as administrator.
Has anybody seen this? Or is it a requirement that you can only compile deployment projects as the super user? That cannot be right.I've been thrashing for more than five days and for the life of me cannot figure this out. Of course, I can run as the super user when developing, but I thought the new security model in Win7 was designed exactly so you don't have to.
I'm having trouble setting up a custom NEW User Screen. Here is my situation, I have a Request for Access Screen that uses the CreateNewUser Wizard Control. I want to leave the Question and Answer for this, however I also want a custom NEW User Setup which I build myself to allow the system administrators to setup users, but for this setup I don't want the administrators to have to pick the question and answer for the NEW user, so I would like to bypass this for this setup. However, my Membership.CreateUser keeps asking for it. How can I accomplish this? I've included a copy of my current web.config file. You will notice a AspNetAdminMemberhip which I use to allow the System Administrators to reset passwords.
I have a web setup package project alongside an old .asmx web service. When I build it I only get 'MyService.msi' and not the 'Setup.exe' in the 'Release' folder after build. Normally the .msi suffices for installation, but on Windows Server 2008 R2 I am getting denied from installing the .msi pacakge. I can only install .exe packages after right clicking and stating "Install as Administrator".
The server admin is still new to 2008 R2 and not sure why I can't install an .msi because I am an admin, so for now if I knew how to get that web setup package to generate the Setup.exe file as well I see my other VS.NET setup packages create.
I have created a crystal following your article which url is
[URL]
It is working fine on local machine but when i upload it on the server it is not working. Crystal Report is showing but data is not showing in the crystal report.
I am working on a multi-language web site. It is half English and half Portuguese. I have created forms that have portuguese values in it. These forms work perfectly on my desktop. I'm using Cassini as the development server. When I move them over to IIS, they are not loading properly. The text comes up all weird looking. I am declaring the culture in the page attribute: Culture="pt-BR"
I am working on a web application which has around 40 pages. We have separate business and DB layer. But there are still few simple business logic in code behind (CS) page of each aspx file. So when there is any change in that code behind, it lead to complete re-deployment of whole project. Is there any option where I could re-deploy only the corresponding code behind and aspx page alone?
Note : We copy the web contents to the virtual directory for each deployment
how to deploy website and its referenced web services from Dev environment to production environment by using some easy method.
Our deploy structure is basically like Desktop->Dev Server->Production Server.
Now, I create a web service (just named MailingServices for example), I deploy it Dev Server, the URL link should like: http://192.168.3.17:90/MailingServices.asmx and then I deploy it to production server where link is probably like http://202.70.115.114:90/MailingServices.asmx Now I create one asp.net website to consume this mailing services.
I create this website in my desktop computer, and add a reference to MailingServices Dev link which is http://192.168.3.17:90/MailingServices.asmx, and then I check in the website to its dev environment, this stage is fine: Website Dev reference Web Services Dev.
But If deploy this website into its production server, how can I change the url link of that web services from its dev link to live link?
I currently know that when the website is deployed to production server, you can over-write the link in web.config file of website, but asp.net generates some other XML files when it add a web service reference, well I can over-write these xml files too.

I started learning web services. I learnt about web services, UDDI, WSDL, SOAP etc. and architecture of web services. Visual Studio is running the service in local system successfully.Then I deployed the entire folder of that web service in IIS wwwroot, and tested. Its running successfully.But when I remove the other file from the wwwrootwebService1 folder (I left only service1.asmx and bin folder) then also service is running.
Here I see that only two file are used in ruuning the webservice one is .asmx and another one is webService.dll in bin folder.I'm not able to understand where is SOAP, WSDL, namespace or other things, that are required to run web service.
I have an ASP.Net website that I built in a computer science class. I built it in Visual Studio and the solution is on my local drive. How would I deploy this to a real website?
I am using WIX 3.6 for VS2010 to create our MSI's for our web application setups. This is all working fine and all in terms of deployment and uninstall.
I recently allowed the user to specify the virtual directory and application pool names to support side by side installs. This is all fine as I have created my own setup bootstrapper.
The issue is with uninstallation.
If the user does not specify the names and leaves the default values, it will install successfully.
The minute the user updates the names from the defaults, the install process will not remove the app-pool and virtual directory. This is what I have found consistently with my testing.
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 have an asp.net application that I currently deploy to 4 different environments on the client's servers. At the moment we deploy by copying over individual assemblies and content files but the whole process is time consuming and error prone. Basically I'd like a method of preparing the application for deployment that will give me a folder containing the application (no source code etc). No IIS changes are required. It would be good if I could specify different webconfigs for different environments.
I've looked at msbuild, msdeploy, etc and I'm not even sure which is the right tool for the job. I'm tempted to go with a batch file that copies only certain file extensions but I'm sure there must be a better way of doing this.
