What are the inherent risk of upgrading a website from the 2.0 framework to the 3.5 framework?
I know the features given to me in the upgrade, just curious if there are any known issues that may pop up when upgrading.
I.E. Function X used to behave this way, and now behaves a new way.
I am try to migrate an asp.net web application to mvc. The problem im having is that it uses all asp controls and a ton of ajax control extenders like filtered textbox, masked textboxes, confirm extender, modal popup, the calander, ect...
How can I implement these extenders with the Html.Textbox controls?
I recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
<div class='<asp:Literal ID="CssClassLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>'>
It doesn't see this literal when it does the conversion... Is the above valid code or should I implement that functionality another way?
I'm getting close to finishing a public-facing ASP.Net app and I'm starting to weigh deployment options. I'm an ASP.Net/SQLServer veteran but noob when it comes to Azure. I'm wondering how others have felt about the learning curve to effectively migrate a local dev ASP.Net/SQLServer apps into Azure cloud. More specifically:How steep is the learning curve towards understanding administration and programming concepts, and do you think it's worth the investment?What is Microsoft's support like if I have catastrophic problems from my cloud infrastructure and my live site is down? My expectation is a large price tag for a not-so-urgent SLA.Will my non-Azure ASP.Net app require significant modification and/or coupling to run in the Azure environment?

View 1 RepliesI have upgraded my web site from 2.0 to 3.5 using VS2008 (loaded the project and selected 'yes' to the upgrade prompt), then deployed to the Live server. On the test system the website runs fine, on the Live, it fails with 'Assembly binding' (System.Core, System.Web.Extensions, and more) errors. When I commented out all the failed assemblies (just to see what happens) I got the error: 'csc.exe' cannot be found. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? 1. Is my upgrade method wrong? 2. Is there another way to upgrade? 3. How can I tell why the assemblies fail to bind?

View 6 RepliesWe are in design phase of a project whose goal is replatforming an ASP classic application to ASP.Net 4.0. The system needs to be entirely web based. There are several new requirements for the new system that make this a challenging project:
The system needs to be database independent. It must, at version 1.0, support MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres and DB2. The system must be able to allow easy reporting from the database by third party reporting packages. The system must allow an administrative end user to create their own tables in the database through the web based interface. The system must allow an administrative end user to design/configure a user interface (web based) where they can select tables and fields in the system (either our system's core tables or their own custom tables created in #3) The system must allow an administrative end user to create and maintain relationships between these custom created tables, and also between these tables and our system's core tables. The system must allow an administrative end user to create business rules that will enforce validation, show/hide UI elements, block certain actions based on the identity of specific users, specific user groups or privileges.
Essentially it's a system that has some core ticket tracking functionality, but allows the end user to extend the interface, business rules and the database. Is this possible to build in a .Net, Web based environment? If so, what do you think the level of effort would be to get this done? We are currently a 6 person shop, with 2.5 full time developers.

View 2 RepliesI know very little, and even less about .dll's. I have a fairly simple albeit old, application that references a .dll that seems to do the logic for connecting to an access backend. I don't have the source code for the dll, but I don't see any code anywhere elese to sigify the dataconnections etc. When I move the application from an old IIS6 server .net 1.0, over to a newer IIS7 server with .net 2.0osmething, I errors out (see below). When I remove the reference to the dll, the login pages comes up okay but I just can't login. So, something is up with my DLL. What do I need to do?

You have a SQL Database with legacy data.
New functional requirements stipulate that what was once a one to many relationship is now a many to many relationship. The relationship comprises a simple lookup table
How does one manage the migration of data from the old structure to the new???
I have the following script which will move the data from/to the right tables:

What i'm wondering is, once i have run the script to copy the data across, do people recommend that the LegacyTable.LookUpPK_ID field be deleted permanently?

View 1 Replieswe are currently investigating a migration of an application that doesn't meet company standards. The application is built using VB6 and Shape SQL/Access. The application has about 120 reports by storing Shape SQL strings in a database which the user can modify using a wizard. Shape sql is not allowed at this company. We have investigated plain SQL, Linq, Entity Framework as alternatives... but all result in more complex solutions.
Update: Shape SQL is an ADO command to get hierarchical datasets, for further info:

Recently I moved my developing environment (Visual Studio 2005) on Windows 7. I followed the steps for migrating from IIS6 to IIS7, but when I try to start debug my web project I receive the error message:
"Unable to start debugging on web server. Debugging failed because integrated Windows authentication is not enabled."
In my project's web.config I have
<httpModules><add
name="WindowsAuthentication"
type="System.Web.Security.WindowsAuthenticationModule"
/></httpModules>
What else should I do?
We have a few settings in our web application that can be user configured. As IIS exposes helpers for configuring "Connection Strings" and "Application Settings" we decided to take use this method of configuration.
Unfortunately this works by editing the Web.config file deployed in the web application. This means that a simple upgrade process of copying over the files from a newer web application release resets all configuration settings to the default.
Possible options:
When upgrading the webapp, backup the Web.config and restore it afterwards. This is not elegant and if the latest webapp defines new default-valued properties in the Web.config then this will break Write some admin-only configuration pages on the site and store the values in the DB. This puts the control back in our hands, but it will take work to write this and obviously has bootstrapping problems with connection strings.

I have a web project running fine with IIS 6, when I try to run this project in IIS 7 Integrated mode I am having all kind of problems with global.asax, it appears to me if any of the following objects or properties is access in Application_Start, exception will be thrown: HttpContext.Current.RequestHttpContext.Current.Reponse HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode The exception will be something like:Response is not available in this context.I have no ideas why this happens. I am not even sure if it only happens in Application_Start since project could not execute. Also there might be more objects causing other problems that I haven't encountered yet.

I have inherited a web application that uses tables to layout the whole web application. This is a rather large web application and I would like to migrate it to using divs for layout instead of the current birds nest of tables.Does anyone have any good suggestions for the best way to migrate the web site to using divs (That would convince the boss that it's worth doing).This is a asp.net web application where most of the html is done through response.write.EditI have been working with the site for a while now and would have to say that even a site with a badly nested div layout would be better than using table layout.

View 5 RepliesI was wondering after quite a while searching whats best practice say for instance ive got a block of text stored in a database say a forum post or something quite large in size and I want to display it on a page. in php id do the lookup and echo it out as html on the page with all the relevant divs and classes need to style it with css . I can do this with responce.write() but get a felling that I should be using a control instead eg label but if i were to use label I cant apply css to it or can I?
whats the best method for getting database values and getting them on the page? when do I use html and when do I use asp:controls.
