I have a web app that has an app_offline.htm file, this file is stored in source control along with everything else.
The problem I have is that each time I (or any other developer) do a get latest on the source I get the app_offline.htm file and then when I try to run the app all I see is the app_offline rather than the actual web site.
Is there way that I can stop this from happening?
i found app_offline.htm created automaticaly in my project while i was working on my website offline.
View 4 Replieshave been using the Publish Web Site option VS 2005, and all of a sudden it quick working correctly and do not get an error message. Also, compiling the web site does not take as long as it did before. Now Pubish Web site only puts the bin folder and PrecompileApp.config file in the C:InetpubwwwrootOIAEmailMaint. Because I am working and testing this website sometimes I delete any previous files that was in the folder C:InetpubwwwrootOIAEmailMaint before Publish Web Site. I did notice when I was looking at the files I delete in the Recycle Bin that a app_offline.htm. Apparently I changed some kind of option by accident by I do not have a clue what.

I am taking a couple C# classes at school and I finally got VS set up on my home computer. I am having one issue that I'm not sure where to go looking.
At school, the program is installed on XP Pro.
At school, I can read, output, and create files that are saved on my hard drive. I know any code I have used is correct because I can open up the files my code creates with other applications without issue.
At home, I have the program installed on Win 7. (I just upgraded my home comp so I'm still figuring out this new platform honestly.)
At home, everything runs, etc, but it will not create files. I can see the drives working, but nothing is written. I have tried several drives - all failing.
I'm assuming this is a flag or an environment setting somewhere on my installation but I have no idea where.
here's my issue. I'm trying to run service based applications from Visual Studio. My previous workstation died, and I got a replacement, and I can no longer run the service based apps from Visual Studio, so obviously there's something that I neglected to reload. The specific error I'm getting is:
Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be intstalled ( using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool, or the NET START command.Going through debugger, I eventually get the error "Service <appname> was not found on computer .."The DOS environment does not seem recognize the installutil.exe command.
Is there any way to debug, or just simply run an ASP.Net page or project without using Local Host? F5 or Ctrl F5 sometimes load the page fairly fast and sometimes it just does not happen. (At least not within my span of patience.) It seems that when it stalls, if I close the browser or click Stop Debugging, and then try again, it happens! But it is never consistent and usually frustrating.
View 2 Repliesi have 2 problems with running&debugging my web projects using visual studio 2008 pro :
1.when choosing to run without debugging , IE is being opened (which is ok , since i chose it to be the default one to be opened via VS ) , and yet when i close IE , it is being opened once again .
2.when choosing to debug , visual studio crashes and IE is being frozen (can only be killed via task manager) ,even when i don't have the "debugger;" string in the javascript code.
i've tried to re-install VS , and also uninstall it and then re-install it, but it didn't help. i have windows xp sp3 home edition 32bit. what should i do? EDIT:about #1 , it seems that from some reason, VS didn't install "Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component" , and this is also why i had another problem of not being able to use the design/split mode . after installing this component, it seems that IE doesn't run twice anymore. however, i still have crashes of VS when trying to debug (problem #2) ,even thogh script debugging is enabled on IE. the weird thing is that on maxthon2 , which uses IE engine, debugging works just fine.
I use Mac as my primary OS, but I often work on ASP.NET MVC projects. I want to use the same file system for them, and not virtual OS image.
The reason for that is because I want to integrate the projects with Mac OS (i.e. upload them to the server via Transmit, a Mac OS FTP app).
But the problem here is that ASP.NET can't really work with projects located on network drives. So when I try to run a site (either with VS 2010's built in web server or with IIS 7), I get
Error Summary HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
And this is a common mistake but no solution that I could find worked for me.
If I create a project on Parallel's virtual C: drive, everything works fine.
P.S. I hear that VMWare has better network drives support, but is it as smooth as Parallels? Parallels 6 runs extremely fast for me, and my Mac Mini doesn't even get warm with VS 2010 and several other Mac apps open.
P.P.S. I also heard about using DropBox and/or Windows Live Mesh. Is clouding a good idea in this case?

I'm attempting to run/debug an ASP.NET MVC project under .NET 4.0 using VS2010's Dev Web Server. The server appears to spawn successfully and an instance of IE Explorer opens. However, the browser never seems to find the page. The browser just "spins" showing only a white page...no error message.VS is configured to randomly select a port, although I get the same results when configuring numerous static ports.The ASP.NET project is the start-up project.
View 2 RepliesI've got about 30 projects in VS 2008 and we are finally starting to upgrade to 2010. I get change requests pretty regularly so I'm likely to have to make changes to projects that are still in 2008 after VS 2010 is installed. Is it possible to intall VS 2010 without messing up the VS 2008 install? If so is there any particular trick to it so they live side by side or do they automatically do parallel install in different directories?
View 3 RepliesI am a programer really new to all ASP applications and stuff. I have a server application done with VS, wich run correctly from there, but I need it to run from outside VS. I guess It has something to do with the IIS, and I already added it to the windows components, but I still have no clue how to run it.

When I build me C# web app in VS 2008 I am presented with a white screen. Internet exporer shows that it is 'Done'. This happens no matter which Form of my project I run and will not display even the directory screen.
I recently copied and pasted controls from one form to another and after this it seems to have stopped working. I have tried deleting the newly created controls and then eventually the Form.
I was working with very old version of .net 1.1 . I need to compile the solution. So when I try to open the solution using visual studio 2003.I am getting below error.visual studio has detetcted that the specified web server is not running asp.net version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET applications or services.To resolve this problem, change the status of ASP.NET 1.1 to Allowed in the Web Service Extension list in IIS 6.0. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Information Services (IIS).
Click Web Service Extensions. In the details pane, click ASP.NET v1.1.4322 in the Web Service Extension list.
Click Allowed to change the status from Prohibited to Allowed
But I am using IIS5.1 where there is no web services extensions property ( it was introduced from 6.0)
So I have seen the items about the differneces between web application and web site projects. My big question is - how can I tell which one I am running in the RC of VS 1010?

View 3 RepliesI installed VS2010. Then The Azure toolkit. I created a new solution, with one webrole in it. I added 'HelloAzure' to the default.aspx, and then pressed f5 to run it.
It runs! I see my text 'HelloAzure' in IE8. Yeah!
Now, when I close IE8, it seems that VS2010 simply hangs, is frozen. It accepts no input from mouse/keyb. Nothing moves ... you know ... it hangs.
Taskmanager is required to get out if this state.
I have a solution that was originally created using VS 2008. I have quite a few unit tests that all passed when ran in VS 2008.
Yesterday I opened this solution in VS 2010 and converted it using the wizard. The solution built just fine, it runs just fine, BUT now all tests that access the db fail. I get the same error on every test (below).
"The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x5b3b5ad7, on thread 0x19a4. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack."
In test classes that use ClassInitialize() and ClassCleanup() methods, all the tests fail. All tests fail with the same error, "The agent process was stopped while the test was running." Tests in test classes that do not utilize ClassInitialize() and ClassCleanup() (these tests do not hit the database) all pass.
When this was a VS2008 project all 153 tests passed. No changes have been made to these tests, other than converting the project to a VS2010 project.
I've been playing around with one test class. I commented out the ClassInitialize() and ClassCleanup() methods. I rewrote one test method and mocked everything. I tried running just that one test. I still got the "The agent process was stopped while the test was running" error.

View 7 RepliesIn Visual Studio, when I click > Debug, > Start Without Debugging, (with my default browser set to IE), the application starts but it opens 2 IE browser instances. It opens 1 IE instance to start BUT when I close it, it launches another browser instance with the same start page. This bug is repeatable and consistent behaviour, that I can reproduce on-demad in IE.
(In some other minor variations, it seems that depending upon exactly how I start it, it will open 1 browser instance with 2 tabs, each tab having the startup page in it. However, this is not yet repeatable or consistent. It has happened; but, as of now, I am uncertain as the the exact steps to reproduce this particular variation of the anomaly.)
I am using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).
I am using on Windows 7 32-bit.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Standard.
I only have 1 startup project defined in Solution properties.
I have all Toolbars And Extensions set to "Disabled" in IE.
I have turned off "Automatic Crash Recovery" in IE.
(This does NOT happen in FireFox.)
The problem is I have a laptop that I take to University with me to all my lessons and lectures and it has Visual Studio 2008 installed on it and I work on my assignments in Visual Studio just fine. However when I get home I would like to use my desktop PC which has the exact same copy even from the very same disk of Visual Studio 2008 that is installed on my laptop. The problem is no matter what I do I can't open and work with any projects that I have created on my laptop.
Now if I create the project on my desktop PC it will open just fine on my laptop and I can continue to work with the project but the minute I save and take that project over to my desktop I get the self same error message shown below. [URL] I did do a little research and I found what looked like a solution for some people and that was to change the "SQL Server Instance Name" to SQL2008. As shown below it was set to SQLEXPRESS which is the same as what it says on my laptop copy. [URL] But all this did was present me with a new message as shown below. [URL] Uploaded with [URL] I'm completely at a loss as to what the issue is. Both my laptop and desktop run a fully updated copy of Windows 7 64Bit and have the same copy from the same CD of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
