Place The DataProvider Assemblies In A Sub Directory?
Jul 5, 2010
I'm currently implementing some DataProviders according to the ASP.NET Provider Model. Everything works fine, though the application directory is a mess due to all the assemblies containing the data providers and their dependencies.
Is it possible to put the assemblies containing the DataProviders in a subfolder? If yes, what do I have to change (in the app.config?) so that the assemblies will be found by the application?
I am relatively new to ASP.NET programming (but not programming in general), and I have been looking through a project that has been handed off to me. Within this project, there is a bin directory which contains a slew of various DLL files. Then, in the web.conf file, inside the assemblies structure (within the XML), there is a slew of other assemblies being added. I've done a search on both SO and through Google in general, and I am still struggling over what the difference is between the two. Is one way "better" than the other?
I've tried searching for this answer but still unsure. When using a code behind file for example default.aspx.vb, what directory should this file be in? At the moment I've created a web page in VWD and both the aspx and aspx.vb files are in the "wwwroot" directory on my home server. Everything works fine, but it got me wondering whether this was the correct place for this file? The reason I ask is because I'll be putting some code in the aspx.vb file which I don't want to be publicly accessible. I've tried "browsing" to the vb page and also directly downloading it and it doesn't work which is good, but can this file and code be somehow publicly accessed?
I am using System.directory services namespace in framework 2 to query active directory. I have used fixed user account impersonisation in the web.config file, find the code:
I have disabled anonymous access in IIS. Also i have given Read & write access to the account tang09 for the website virtual directory and Microsoft.NET folder located in windows folder. But still i get prompted for the domain username and password to access the website.
I just need to ask something about .net assemblies. I'm sorry if this question may not be appropriate for this forum but it is very urgent and very important for me to answer so if any kind person can answer in simple and in detail about 'What are assemblies?' I googled about this but I got only one line definition for assemblies rest is only about private ,shared, manifest etc. etc. but I need to know what are assemblies.
I have an ASP.NET MVC 2 app targeting .NET 4 that needs to be able to resize images on the fly and write them to the response.I have code that does this and it works. I am using System.Drawing.dll.However, I want to enhance my code so that not only am I resizing the image, but I am dropping it from 24bpp down to 4bit grayscale. I could not, for the life of me, find code on how to do this with System.Drawing.dll.But I did find a bunch of WPF stuff. This is my working/sample code (runs in LinqPad).
// Load the original 24 bit image var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(); bitmapImage.BeginInit();
I get that assemblies store data about an application, and its components. I am still clouded about several vital functions of this very basic concept and cannot for the life of me find a complete all inclusive reference or explanation of this topic. Exactly how far reaching is this within c#.net development? Where is it stored? How is it stored? Exactly what, in it's entirety is in it and how is it used and when? Please, please do me a huge favor. Do not send me on a wild goose chase to some self serving, obscure site with partial explanations that wastes my time. By the time I'm done studying the information within your referenced site or response, I want all of my questions answered.
I need to look for specific types in all assemblies in a web site or windows app, is there an easy way to do this? Like how the controller factory for ASP.NET MVC looks across all assemblies for controllers.
What are the libraries, beside System.Web.Mvc, I need to run a MVC 3 RC2 application having the libraries in Bin Folder and not installing MVC 3 RC2?I am using JQuery and not Microsoft Ajax.
I'm trying to write some code to use reflection to load new assemblies. I observed the file system with FileSystemWatcher, so that if anything in the folder changed, I can get notified and then reload them.
Firstly I have an assembly filters.dll loaded. Let's say its version is 1.0.0. Then when I have a new one v1.0.1, I paste it into the folder and replace the older one. Of course this fires "Change" event of FileSystemWatcher, and finally lead to assembly reloading.
Everything works fine, but I just want to know, what would happen to the firstly loaded assembly? Get replaced by the newer one? Or still somewhere in the memory?
we have an asp.net web site (web application project of vs 2005) where we have a main project and same secondary projects which contain same apsx/ascx used by the main project.
for example in an aspx page of the main site we will use same ascx defined in another project)
at least with vs 2005 we must do a lot of hack to make it works becouse it's not possible to directly reference another web application to use aspx/ascx defined there.
i want know if upgrading to vs 2010 and mvc can help us to a better organization of this type of architecture (the best things will be if i can add a view as embedded resource of a project and i can use it by another project, as the server control of asp.net form)
Now in the same project for another requirement I have to introduce Antlr3.StringTemplate.dll. Which has a dependency on another version of the above assembly.
If I use the version of Antlr3.Runtime.dll which satisfies NHibernate , Antlr3.StringTemplate starts complaining and vice-versa.
I have a collection of assemblies using reflection. I want to loop through them, but I would like to ignore the .NET framework or ASP.NET framework DLL's. Is there an attribute on the assembly that marks that its from the .NET framework? Or any other designation?
I was looking at the name, and if the name of the assembly starts with System, Microsoft, or mscorlib, I am ignoring it. But I was wondering if there is a flag I can use to make this even easier?
When looking at ASP.NET MVC 3 and WebPages (the 'simple' web application framework used by WebMatrix) I noticed that these frameworks take a dependency on assemblies and/or namespaces that do not fit the familiar naming style for ASP.NET:
Most if not all assemblies/namespaces up until and including ASP.NET 4 and ASP.NET MVC 2 are called *System.Web.** Why did they do it? Is this 'a trap' or is that too cynical? Some context (from the [Mono 2.10 Release Notes][1]):

I am processing some CSV file which i have copied in Bin folder of My ASP.NET Website.
When i execute
using (IDataReader csv = new CsvReader (new StreamReader("sample.txt"), true, '|')) { ..... }
it complains me that "sample.txt" not found in "c:Program Files....."Won't the runtime automatically look into the bin folder?what modification do i need to do?
I'm trying to understand the relationship between assemblies, namespaces and classes. Can anyone help explain or point me to a usefule link?
1. I understand that an assembly is typicall a dll or an exe (perhaps other files also). Does each project compilation produce only 1 dll? Or is the number of DLL dictated by something completely different?
2. I read each assembly can contain multiple classes. Asingle assembly can contain classes for multiple namespaces, and asingle namespace can span multiple assemblies.
In context of an ASP.NET Website project, is it possible to create a second location where DLLs will be picked up from, in addition to the regular bin/ location and apart from the GAC? I expect such a feature would be made possible by the configuration.
