I've been worked with web services so far, and I'm interested in expanding my services to console applications as well so I started digging up with WCF but I'm conserned that I won't be able to use the HttpContext collection that I've been used to do with web services one important thing which is to generate a random value from HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["ALL_HTTP"] that I need to reckon if it's the same or at least near what machine that is calling my service. How can I overcome this problem?
I need to know what machine is calling to count the number of attempts to login into my system for example. So must do it inside of the svc code otherwise if I let the client inform what ip address or what computer he is using, anyone could forge this argument and surpass by another machine. May be I'm approaching this matter wrongly. And I should count the number of attempts per state session, but how is it done?
Our corporate intranet is designed so that each web application is a child application in the primary application.. Everything has worked fine with Visual Studio 2008 and even in 2010 running the website locally works great, the output directory for the child apps is ..in and the ProjectName.dll copies to that directory.. When I do a publish however it does not and I have to manually copy the dll from the bin folder in the project folder to the parent bin folder, this isn't hard of course but more of a pain in the butt each time I need to publish something. I made sure the output directory is correct for both debug and release yet on publish is just copies it to the child bin and not the parent bin as needed.
So i have the global.asx file that I want to call a piece of code when the session end. How do I configure web.config so that when the session is end/times out it goes to that global.asx sessioN_end function?
I have an asp.net web application that I am deploying using ms web deploy to an iis 7 web server. I recently moved the project to source control with tortoise svn. Now web deploy isn't working since it is trying to copy the hidden read-only files (in a .svn subdirectory) that svn is using onto the iis server. How do I configure web deploy to leave these files alone?
i get this error message when i run my program on some other machine"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."can anyone give me any suggestion in brief to overcome this problem.
Been starting a new project (MVC 2) based on the first version of the same application (MVC 1).In the first we breaked out Controllers and Views into seperate projects, which resuted in a clean and organized structure.Now with version 2, I've been reading about this "Areas".Keeping the old structure and using areas sounds like overkill to me. Keeping the old way OR use Areas is what I'm trying to decide on.Just wanted to hear your thoughts about this.... Is it really that usefull (ie have other benifits)? No use to make some major changes just because something is there IMHO
I have a simple ASP.NET (Web Form) application. I created a separate project for my DAL. In the DAL, I have created an entity called Sites.
Now, I want to bind that to a form using an EntityDataSource control but it isn't visible. What am I doing wrong?
I made sure to reference the DAL.dll in the web project and include it in the code behind for the form. It's been a while since I've been in ASP.Net :-)
I'm interested in using ELMAH but need to configure it programmatically. We have existing infrastructure for determining connection strings and the like, and can't code them into Web.Config.How do I go about using ELMAH in this case?
I'd like to configure ELMAH for an ASP.NET MVC site entirely in code. This includes registering the module, setting the logging provider and settings, and filtering exceptions.The only part I've managed to do so far is filter exceptions. Has anyone else figured out how to do this? I'd really like to avoid cluttering up my config file with settings that won't ever change.

The problem I'm running into is that when people reset their passwords, it seems the ResetPassword() method returns a password that is longer than I want and has characters that can be confusing (l,1,i,I,0,O). Furthermore, I'm sending my users an email with a plain-text message and an HTML message (I'm using MailMessage with AlternateViews). If the password has unsafe HTML characters in it, when the email clients render the HTML text the password might be different (e.g. the %, &, and < aren't exactly HTML safe).
I've looked over the "add" element that belongs in the web.config, but I don't see any extra configuration properties to only include certain characters in the ResetPassword() method and to limit the password length.
Can I configure the ResetPassword() method to limit the password length and limit the character set it is choosing from?
Right now I have a workaround: I call ResetPassword() to make sure the supplied answer is correct, and then I use a RandomPassword generator I downloaded off the internet to generate a password that I like (without ambiguous characters, HTML safe, and only 8 characters long) and then I call ChangePassword() to change the user's password after I've already reset it.
I am developing a C# / ASP.NET web application in VS 2008 on a 32-bit XP. I created a Login.aspx file for the user to enter a user name and password initially before seeing any data. This functionality works now from VS. I added users and roles by entering ASP.NET Configuration. However, after publishing to IIS 6.0, the password does not work there. How do I configure Directory Security in IIS for the same user name and password to work?
I've created a class library project and this has a class implementing the IHttpHandler interface. Let's call this class ZipHandler. Let's say the namespace is Zip. I want that whenever any Http request comes for a zip file, my ZipHandler should handle it, regardless of whether the request is to an Asp.Net application or a normal virtual directory.

I have a site built on .net 3.5 I need to have a virtual directory in it for another site built on .net 1.1. I have created to application pools in IIS and each are set to the right version number but it still doesn't work.
Is there a way to use the ASP.NET Configuration to configure a site once it is hosted? Or can I manually enter data into the tables it creates? Anybody have any useful links on this?
