I am using msdeploy to transfer my changes(via a nant script in Team City) that I make to a site and it is great!! I have just one question, I am using msdeploy with the sync feature to make my life easier.I currently exclude the web.config in my msdeploy because I do not know how to change the web.config on the fly. How do I change the web.config on the destination site if I do a sync?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to deploy through webmatrix but my system Proxy server configuration is not being used. I assume that webmatrix would detect the proxy server settings and use that for the msdeploy calls under the hood. Can anyone confirm this is a know issue?
View 1 RepliesOn the remote web server I have installed the remote service http://x.x.x.x/MsDeployAgentService.If I use the Web Application Project's Publish command in VS2010 I can successfully publish to this remote web server and update a specific IIS website.
What I want to do now is execute this capability from the command line.I am guessing it is two steps. First build the web application project using the relevant build configuration:
msbuild "C:MyApplicationMyWebApplication.csproj"
/T:Package /P:Configuration=Release
Then issue the MsDeploy command to have it publish/sync with the remove IIS server:
msdeploy -verb:sync
-source:package="C:MyApplicationobjReleasePackageMyWebApplication.zip"
-dest:contentPath="My Production Website",
computerName=http://x.x.x.x/MsDeployAgentService,
username=adminuser,password=adminpassword
Unfortunately I get an the error: Error: (10/05/2010 3:52:02 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.
Error: Source (sitemanifest) and destination (contentPath) are not compatible for the given operation. Error count: 1.
I have tried a number of different combinations for destination provider but no joy .Has anyone managed to replicate VS2010 Web Application Project "One Click" Publish from the command line?
I am new to MSDeploy as well as IIS admin.
In order to show a "site under maintenance" page we are looking at two alternatives.
1) Have an app_Offline.htm page and sync it to the server when maintenance starts.
2) Create a separate folder with a totally different site (which can show a lot more dynamic information than what we can with the app_offline page). During maintenance, it is being that we change the virtual folder mapping of the site to point to this other folder while we work on updating the site.
Is there a way to change the virtual folder to point to another folder using MSDeploy? Is there any other way to do this via a script rather than having to go to each server and manually change the folder ?
I am trying to automate our build/deployment process.
So far I am using:
a Visual Studio 2010 solution with a main Web Application project (and dependent projects)
MSBuild
MSDeploy
CruiseControl.Net
So after much wrangling and gnashing of teeth, I now have CCNet kicking off an MSBuild script to build, package and deploy the website. The MSBuild script is below:

This all works fine as long as on the target machine there is already a website configured in IIS. This doesn't need to be an existing "real" site (it could just be a shell).

View 3 RepliesI have three dropdowns for selecting a year inside a user control. On load I specify the selected value for one drop down. The other two drop downs are automatically getting assigned the same selected value. No matter which dropdown I assign a selected value to, they all three get the same selected value. I've tried recreating a new user control for the dropdowns but the same thing happens.
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="DropDownTest.ascx.cs" Inherits="WymanOrgManagement.DropDownTest" %>
<p>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlStartDateYear" runat="server"> [code]....
why the three dropdowns seem to be in sync?
When I used the html Helper Checkbox, it produces 2 form elements. I understand why this is, and I have no problem with it except:The un-checking of the checkbox does not seem to be in sync with the 'hidden' value.What I mean is that when I have a bunch of checkboxes being generated in a loop:
<%=Html.CheckBox("model.MarketCategories[" & i & "].Value", category.Value)%>
and the user deselects and checkbox and the category.Value is FALSE, the code being generated is:
<input checked="checked" id="model_MarketCategories_0__Value" name="model.MarketCategories[0].Value" type="checkbox" value="true" />
<input name="model.MarketCategories[0].Value" type="hidden" value="false" />
This is wrong since the Value is False the checkbox should NOT be checked.
I'm using asp.net and WebDeploy to publish the latest bits of my website. The production site has a couple folders that I would like to keep in sync, though.
Since it's an asp.net site, I would rather not have my entire repository on the server when I can get by with just the views and dll. Additionally, I would rather not add the extra clutter of additional class projects & files to my production server file system.
How do I keep the folders in production in sync with the master branch in git? An automated solution would be optimal.
Does anyone know of a way that I could sync a few contact info views from an OracleDB to SQL Server without spending thousands on syncing software?
View 1 RepliesThe Patient Scheduling system I have built extracts current inpatient data from an enterprise health system and merges it with data from a seperate database, based on a common key. This is then displayed in a gridview control for browse/update.
At any one point in time, the client list in my system should reflect the current inpatients in the enterprise system.
The problem is that if the user has not refreshed the client list in some time, there may have been a discharge in the enterprise system and the two get out of synch. When the user selects a client from the list to update, the details of an entirely different client (usually the one below), is presented in edit mode. e.g. if the user selects the 4th client in the list, the details for the 5th client are made available for update.
I have a FormView with the following ItemTemplate. What do I have to do to make the Textbox reflect the correct TypeName for the selected campaign?
<asp:Label ID="campaignNameLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="campaignList">Campaign Name: </asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList ID="campaignList" runat="server" Width="200px" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="campaignsSqlDataSource" DataValueField="CampaignID" DataTextField="Name" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CampaignID") %>'>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Label ID="campaignTypeLabel" runat="server">Campaign Type: </asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="campaignTypeText" runat="server" Width="150px" Text='<%# Eval("TypeName") %>'></asp:TextBox>
ADDENDUM: I'm trying to do this with zero code. I can make it work if I use a separate data source for the drop-down and the detail fields in the ItemTemplate (i.e. the FormView's main data source), but I can't sync the FormView's data source with the drop-down's selection, because a ControlParameter on the FormView data source can't see control values in the ItemTemplate.
I'm running into an issue with an async call to the server that only works one time, then it appears to become a synchronous call. Let me try to explain.
It's an MVC 2.0 site, using ASP.NET and Ajax. I'm using the Ajax.BeginForm helper, like so:
<% using (Ajax.BeginForm("Start", null,
new { virtualMachineId = xyz },
new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "VirtualMachineForm", OnBegin="OnStartingVm" }
)){
[Code]....
Within the updateStartingStatus function, the first part runs every second, every time. However, within the Ajax call, the success result works every second on the first time only. Then on the second time I click on the start button all of the requests queue up. After the starting has completed, about 20 seconds later, I get a bunch of alert windows back to back. So, I can tell that updateStartingStatus runs every second every time, but the ajax call appears to switch to become a sync call after the first time.
I have to fully close it and open it again. The same occurs in IE and Chrome.
One more thing to note is that the updated div (VirtualMachineForm) contains most of the page, including the button being pressed. So it basically replaces the page from under itself. Not sure if that would cause any issues.
Additionally, if I debug in Visual Studio 2010, the call isn't made to the controller action when the issue occurs. So, it appears to be something client-side. I've ruled out any issues server-side.
Using a Windows application I am sending a web request to a web page and getting the response back using the following code
HttpWebRequest oRequest1 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
oRequest1.ContentType = "text/xml";
using (Stream stream = oRequest1.GetRequestStream())
{
stream.Write(fileBytes1, 0, fileBytes2.Length); //fileBytes1 - contains the data of first request
}
HttpWebResponse Response1 = (HttpWebResponse)oRequest1.GetResponse();
->The above code works fine
But I need to enhance the code to accomodate following additional scenario
->Send another request to the same web app and
->get the response back
The first request sent contains the credentials to access the web application the second request sent doesn't have credentials, it must use the credentials of first request. I am using the same (following) code for the second request too. I get an error saying that it's looking for credentials
HttpWebRequest oRequest2 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
oRequest2.ContentType = "text/xml";
using (Stream stream = oRequest2.GetRequestStream())
{
stream.Write(fileBytes2, 0, fileBytes2.Length);
}
HttpWebResponse Response2 = (HttpWebResponse)oRequest2.GetResponse();
So how do I accomplish this? Should I be sending the second request using same session or same connection?

View 6 RepliesI use an updatepanel and I register a handler for endRequest to catch errors: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler); On the server an exception is thrown to test the client side. The problem is that in IE and FireFox EndRequestHandler is never called! It works as expected in Opera and Safari. On a simple page with few controls it works as expected in all browsers. What I found out with Firebug is that the response is Content-length: 67, but there is no response (empty tab for response)! The expected response is 53|error|500|Object reference not set to an instance of an object.|
I have not debugged the ajax library precisely but what I have seen is that some code runs to prepare for pageLoading event (maybe because it cannot detect the error?), but there is no information for updatepanels from the response and an error occurs trying to use an object for updatepanels which is null. The error is caught by a try-finally block.
I've created a page which dynamically creates an .ics file based on data from our database, that customers can download to add the events to Outlook and iCalendar. This file is sent through the Response, so I don't actually store the file on the server. Since I can provide a webcal:// address to this file, it can also be synced whenever someone changes the settings for an event in our system.
Example .ics: [URL]
However, since our customers sync with a dynamically generated file, this forces our server to generate the file every time their calendar application wants to sync. And since this will cause a couple of hundred thousand requests every hour, the server will take quite a bit of punishment.
So my actual question is: How does Outlook and other calendar applications know when an ics-file has been updated and needs to fetch the updated file? I need to manage this to only generate a new file when there has been an actual update, and not on every single request. The main problem is that we do not wish to store the actual files on the server.
I have a website that occasionally needs to have a handful of the tables in its database updated. The updates come from another system that exports to comma delimited text files. I can then either FTP the text files to the web server, send them in through an admin upload page, or manually log in to Remote Desktop to download the text files. I have all my C# code written to parse the files, check the database contents, and decide what to do.
Should I code the sync logic to be part of a file upload page, protected in the admin section of the site or should I create a Windows Service that constantly looks for files to process in a particular directory that I can drop files in through FTP?
I have used Windows Services in the past and they have worked great, but if I ever have to make a change to the code it can take longer than it would if I just had to modify an ASPX.
Are their security benefits one way or another?
Performance benefits?
ASPX page wins the "ease of maintenance" category.
I had to restructure my database so I could synch the data between the Web and local version of my application, which I had carelessly let run amok. I finally get all the records and schema into one database but now that I've done that, my Profile system isn't working anymore. I noticed that the relationships between aspnet_Users and _Membership (and my "profile additional items table") don't exist anymore. I ran the aspnet_regsql.exe utility and registered the DB, and I'm surprised that the registration didn't re-establish the foreign key relationships, etc.
Anyway, if someone can give me pointers on how to restore these relationships or direct me to a source that explains it (i.e., what the foreign keys should be named, if there are any other aspnet_ tables that need to be linked together), I'm pretty sure this would take care of my problem. And I just noticed that nothing is in the aspnet_Profile table. Should I start all over with a new database or is this one salvageable?

View 2 RepliesI have a page with a ScriptManager / UpdatePanel. I currently need to PostBack to a https page from an http page (different ports). I also need the same session data. Currently, I copy my form to a new form, and when I postback to my new Target on a new Port, I get a crash in xmlHttp..something. I will have to post more details later.
I'm currently wondering if this is possible. And does anyone know of such a fix. I even tried to Turn off Partial Rendering and I still get crashes. I can't do this until I pull out the scriptManager / UpdatePanel.
More familar with DreamWeaver. Can i sync pages with the live site from somewhere in Visual Web Developer? Or do I need to use a separate FTP tool.
View 3 RepliesI've got a web application that runs of a state server. It looks like soon it may need to distributed and there will be two web servers behind a load balancer.
This works great for session state but my next challenge is Cache
My application leverages heavily of cache. I understand ASP.Net 4.0 will be offering more here but nothing much has been said about the how too.
There are two challenges that I face
1). Each webserver will have its own copy of cache whereas it would be more efficient to put this to a third server the same as session state is put to state server.
2). The real challenge is keeping cache in sync if a simple dataset derived from the database is changed my code dumps that cache item and reloads the cache. That's all well on one webserver but webserver number two wont know to drop that particular cache item and reload it. This could cause some unexpected problems in the application.
For scenario number 2 I could attempt to do some smart coding so server number two knows to dump the cache and reload it.
My guess is someone else has already been here before and there's probably a better implementation approach rather than writing extra code.
Does anyone know how I could achieve the goal of keeping Cache in sync between multiple webservers or even better farm Cache management to another server?
