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.
best practices to be followed in deployment of asp.net web application & WCF service in IIS 7 regarding the IIS 7 configuration settings , Security setting, application access level settings..
I am currently working in a project where it is having multiple asp.net web applications, windows services. Now we have a requirement that I need to create an Setup application should do the following tasks automatically create database, install web applications in IIS virtual directories, install windows services and modify all configuration files do necessary checks before starting deployment. Which tool preferably open source / freeware help me in developing above setup/deployment application?
I have an ASMX web service which, in turn, creates a Service Reference which ultimately calls a third party web service. So, in essence, my ASMX is acting as a proxy to the thrid party service. This works fine on my development box.When I deploy to a target server and call my ASMX web service, it fails with an object instance not set error. On closer inspection, it looks as if the failure is in the line of code which creates an instance of the Service Reference - DIM XXX as new ServiceReference.I'm guessing that something has gone missing in the deployment, but can't see what.
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 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.

Development Environment: Server: windows 2008 Web: ASP.NET 3.5/4.0, IIS6.0+ Source Control: VSS 2005, we do not have Automation Build & Continuous Integration
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.
I have a website in C#/ASP.NET that is currently in development. When we are in production, I would like to do releases frequently over the course of the day, as we fix bugs and add features (like this: [URL]. If you upload a new version of the site or even change a single file, it kicks out the users that are currently logged in and makes them start over any forms and such. Is there a secret to being able to do deployments without interfering with users for .NET sites?
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 am currently trying to setup our complete development process (from dev to production).
We will be using Microsoft Team Foundation Server and I was wondering if there was way to put what version of programs you want in a build.
Let's say we are 20 programmers working on the same project and we only want to deploy changes done by one or two programmers. Is there a way to do that?
I was thinking about using continuous integration to our dev / QA server and than deploy what is ready and fully tested to our production servers.
I have trouble to deploy a mvc site to IIS 6.0. If I deploy it in "simple" http, there is no problems, i can browse my pages, everything's fine...But my site need "https" : so I enable SSL and security certificates, then the site crashes : it display an error 503 : Service temporary unavalaible...Server is a Virtual Machine, if i try to access to IIS in WM (typing "https://localhost/ in a browser), it displays "Connexction was aborted" : Not the same error, but not very different neither...I'm not very familiar with IIS configuration, is there something I missed in config ? Why site is working in http and not in https ?
We are working on an asp.net project. There are 5 developers in the team. The team size might increase in future. Deployment of the project, often creates some problems for us. We are using svn (very much like vss) to update and commit our codes to a common location.Apart from all these, the changes made by one developer sometimes affects the changes made by another. We usually move only the aspx files and dlls to the server. This causes lots of issues to the testing team as the testers need to check the entire application whenever a dll is updated on the server. We are now looking for a deployment method, that includes both pre-compilation as well a means that enables us to do patch releases (like making a change to the aspx.cs alone without having to update the entire dll) If it is not possible, what is the best deployment method that would suit our requirements?
While developing my web application I was testing using the cassini web server and everything works great! So my program is complete and I am trying to publish it out to a client IIS server on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have created an app.pool for this application and set it to run with a domain admin users (I am not using the "Administrator" account) since the file processing will be writing the file to a NAS device via a UNC path. When I start the debugging on the server and look at task manager it shows that the "w3wp.exe" is running using the domain admin account, but when I run my code it does not give me a run time error I just get the following warning in the event log.
multiple websites in a webfarm. I need to deploy multi lingual sites under iis likewww.xxx.com will point to a folder where I want to keep all the files and bin folder but the folders below like /en, /fr, /es etc will be having the web.config inherited from the root folder. My problem is1. How to share the bin in the root folder with other websites beneath it. like I havewww.xxx.com pointing to xxx directory and I have /en pointing to xxx/en. Rather than me copying the bin folder to every website? I cannot place in gac as this is multi server env. is there a way i can set all the servers gac to get dlls from one directory?
I have an application that is developed with Web forms. I added some new functionlities using MVC by folloiwng the post ttp://www.hanselman.com/blog/PlugInHybridsASPNETWebFormsAndASPMVCAndASPNETDynamicDataSideBySide.aspx . The application works fine in Visual Studio 2008 builtin server but after deployment on IIS 7 with integrated mode, i am facing issues with MVC part of the application. Webform part works fine. Like www.example.com/content/default.aspx (webform) works fine but www.example.com/Home/Index (MVC) doesnt work and saysHTTP Error 404.0 - Not FoundThe resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
I am trying to deploy a asp.net mvc site. My hosting service provider provides me dsn database connection for my sql server 2008 database. I changed my web.config to use dsn connection using this modification in web.config.
In my site I have used asp.net membership provider. I have all the tables of membership provider in my own database. when I deploy the site I get the following error:
My web.config file is as follows <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!--
Note: As an alternative to hand editing this file you can use the web admin tool to configure settings for your application. Use the Website->Asp.Net Configuration option in Visual Studio. A full list of settings and comments can be found in machine.config.comments usually located in
I would just like to find out which is the best practice when deploying to IIS 7 with ASP.Net 2 applications. We deploy around 7 WCF net.tcp consumed web services on IIS 7 and then also have a website running under IIS 7.When we deploy with TFS we copy over the released code to the specified folders under IIS. Would the best practice be to then also reset IIS or because IIS recompiles the JIT everytime the assemblies change, you don't actually need to restart the server or any pools.
I think I am finally ready to publish my website but I have a issue that is causing me some confusion.The website has been built on my desktop so it's location is something likeC:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopIn the project, under a folder called "App Data" i have my database and all the connection strings in my website point to this folder.However when I use VS to publish the website if for example I were to publish it tooC:CopySiteobviously even though there is a copy of the database in the "App Data" folder in this location all the connection strings point to the Database location on my desktop. How can I get it so the CopySite "App Data" folder is the one used to store all my data?
I have a web site which has been deployed to my client server. after the deployment I found some changes required in code/source file and that needs to be fixed right away. Since my project is so huge I dont want to deploy the entire web site once again to my client server. I want to deploy the updated souce file or updated source file dll.
