Correctly Migrate Urls From Custom Solution To Wordpress?
May 12, 2010
I have a web site built using asp.net with ugly URLs like /DisplayContent.aspx?id=789564.
I know how to migrate the database, but the Wordpress urls will be (naturally) different.
Can I simply write some mapping or do I have to include a rewrite rule for each subpage (300 pages) in .htaccess?
Should I provide a rewrite rule for each existing page that would transform a full old url to the known new url, like for example:
/DisplayContent.aspx?id=789798 -> /2010-5-10/Title-Of-The-Post
Even if I manage to migrate the URLs, the structure of the HTML for the new content will naturally be different. How does this affect SEO?
Should I run asp.net and wordpress side by side and issue the redirects from the asp.net application?
What is the most efficient solution to this kind of migration of URLs without doing PHP programming?

I am trying to find a way to have my Entity Framework model in a seperate project within my ASP.NET solution.
Currently I have my DataManager project (which contains my EF model and some classes) and a second project which contains all my web project files.
The problem that I have come across is that I have a database connection string in a App.Config file in my DataManager project and the same connection string in my Web.Config from my web project. I basically have a duplicate connection string.
Is there a way to only use only one connection string in my project (preferably from my web.config)?
My only concern is that when it comes to compiling my project I will not be able to change the connection string in the App.Config contained in my DataManager project.

For some reason I have a solution with a single project and the solution files are in the same directory as the project is. I consider this ugly and want to change it by moving the solution files in a superordinate directory.
For now I have edited a single line in the .sln file:
Project("{FAE04EC0-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-00C04F79EFBC}") = "projectname", "projectname.csproj", "{5D5A753D-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-C535851E8DC8}"
changed to
Project("{FAE04EC0-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-00C04F79EFBC}") = "projectname", "directoryname/projectname.csproj", "{5D5A753D-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-C535851E8DC8}"
It seems to work.
Could this have been all I needed to change? I have the feeling that I missed something.

I'm creating a new middle tier where all of our client calls will go through a WCF service. We're using ASP.NET membership with the service in order to authenticate users. The middle tier will be hitting an existing database in which we already have an InetUsers table containing usernames and passwords.This is where it starts to get messy. This new middle tier will be used by our web application, but not by our existing desktop application, which will - until we rewrite it at some point in the future - be using the old COM+ middle tier. Administration of the users for the web application takes place in the desktop application. In other words, users will be created and passwords set and changed from within the desktop application, which in turn hits the already existing InetUsers table.Ideally, what will happen is when we deploy the new middle tier, we'll take all of the users from the InetUsers table and create records for them in aspnet_Users and aspnet_Membership. Then we'll set a trigger on the InetUsers table to keep aspnet_Users and aspnet_Membership up-to-date.There's a whole bunch of questions wrapped up in this, so I'll try and list them all out here:Is this the right approach? Obviously having this data in two places isn't ideal, but bear in mind here that I'm not the final decision maker here and we're kinda stuck with some legacy stuff here, at least for now. Still - maybe there's a better way.In the same vein - would we be better off coding our own membership provider rather than using the SqlMembershipProvider? How difficult/easy is it to do so?If we use this approach, I plan on using the aspnet_Membership_XXXX stored procedures for the initial population of the tables as well as in the triggers. Having done some research into this, it appears that if I want to call aspnet_Membership_CreateUser directly from SQL (ie in a trigger...) rather than using the API, I have to store clear text passwords since I can't get the salt and the hash right otherwise. Is this true?Does any of this even make sense or am I going about this the wrong way to begin with?

how best to allow a user to create their own URL? Say I have a domain like, www.mydomain.com, and I want the user to be able to create a custom ending to the URL like www.mydomain.com/companyname . Then when the URL is hit it will load the data for that company. Is this done via ASP.NET MVC routing? Any other ideas? I don't want to have to do any manual setup of site after user names it - like IIS changes or routing config file changes.

As part of a CMS, I have created a custom VirtualPathProvider which is designed to serve a single file in place of an actual file structure. I have it set up such that if a file actually exists on the server, that file will be served. If the file does not exist, the virtual content stored for that address will be served instead. This is similar to the concept of serving a website from files stored in a database, though in this case the content is stored in XML files on the server.
This setup works perfectly when a request is made to a specific page. For example, if I ask for "www.mysite.com/foobar.aspx", the content that is stored for "foobar.aspx" will be served. Further, if I ask for "www.mysite.com/subdir/foobar.aspx", the appropriate content will also be served.
The problem is this: If I ask for something like "www.mysite.com/foobar", things begin to fall apart. If the directory exists on disk (and doesn't have a configured default page in IIS, such as index.aspx), I will get a "Directory Listing Denied" error. If the directory does not exist, I'll simply get a 404 - Resource Not Found.
I've tried several things, and so far nothing I've done has made a bit of difference. It seems as though IIS is simply noting the nonexistence of a directory (or default file in an existing directory) and serving up its own error code, without ever asking my application what to do with the request. If it ever did get to the application, I would be able to solve the problem, but as it stands, I'm quite lost. Does anyone know if there is some setting in IIS that is causing this?
I've looked for every resource I can find on the subject, and am coming up empty. I know this should be possible, because I have read tutorials on serving content from both databases and ZIP files.
p.s., I am running IIS6 and .NET 3.5

i have a function that pulls URLs from various web resources. needless to say some are full valid URLS and some are relative as per the HTML of the page. below is my asp.net/ c# logic i derived for examining the URL and then generate a full usable URL from whats pulled from the site...
NOTE:
origianlurl is the full url of the first searched page, and relativeUrl is a url found within the searched page (it can be a full www.site.com or a /contactus.html)
private string ResolveRelativePaths(string relativeUrl, string originatingUrl)
{
if (relativeUrl.StartsWith("http") || relativeUrl.StartsWith("www"))
return relativeUrl;
if (relativeUrl.StartsWith("/"))
{
//get main url something.com

I have a User Control (ascx) and a property which a want to display in my categories tab in Visual Studio in the category named "Styles".
[Code]....
And here is the problem: Actually I do not need a get, because I only have to set the property (write only property). But when I omit the get, the property is displayed in the "Misc" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio. Only when I code the get as well, then the property is displayed correctly in the "Styles" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio.
Does anybody know why? How can I display the category correctly only with set?

I'm trying to create a .NET solution and add class libraries to it. First - in VS2008 I go to File > New > Project > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solution. Then - after VS2008 creates the blank solution I right click on the solution and select Add > New Project > Visual C# > Class Library. However, when I add the Class Library to the solution, the solution icon disappears from Solution Explorer (although the solution name is still in the VS2008 title bar). Why does the solution icon disappear
from the Solution Explorer when I attempt to do this?

I am stumped by a serious issue in Vs 2008.
I created a Blank solution called HelloWorld.Then I added a new Class Library project by the name of HelloWorldService.After creation of the
Class Library project the Solution name disappeared from Solution Explorer.
As a result of which I can now only add new items into the Class Library project but cannot add new item to the solution.
This appears to be a pretty old problem as I found it in another link on the internet.

It seems to be a bug.Has MS released a patch or a fix for this.

I am attempting to create a single sign on experience between an asp.net site and a wordpress site using a simple form POST method. I have built a simple php page that uses the native wordpress functions wp_insert_user and wp_signon to create user account in the mysql db and sign them in. In my asp.net 'create new user' page code behind, I'm using the post method of an HttpWebRequest to send the required information to the php page.
It almost works! The new wordpress user is created in the mysql database, but they are not logged in. How can I get wordpress to log them in?Here is my HttpWebRequest
'get the values
Dim fn As String = TxtFirstName.Text
Dim ln As String = TxtLastName.Text[code].....

I'm working on a Press Release website that currently has an existing distribution platform built on ASP.NET - the site that I have built is utilizes Wordpress Multi-site and BuddyPress, and I need to share information between Wordpress & the existing ASP.NET CMS. The information that needs to be shared between both platforms is 1) Press release information (which is a custom post type in Wordpress) and 2) The login information. Is there a way to have ASP.NET get the information from the Wordpress MYSQL database? Or is the best way to write a plugin for wordpress that will send information to the ASP.NET each time a new press release is written, and each time a new user account is created. I can go either way - having ASP.NET grab the info, or Wordpress send the info out.

Our shop is primarily .NET but because of the lack of any really good popular .NET CMS products, we have chosen to use WordPress (and Drupal at times) for our public facing sites.
I realize this is highly subjective, but it is the conclusion we came to for our purposes. One could certainly make a case for DotNetNuke and others, but that is another conversation.
I would like to know if I can integrate small components into WordPress sites, primarily to do simple forms (logon, lost password, contact us, change user settings, etc...)
Can I do this with an iFrame or another method that I am not thinking about?
