I've heard recently that you can precompile Web Application projects. My question is how?
Right now, when I do a publish for my web application and select only files needed to run this application I get it published but it still has all my ASPX pages and it will still only JIT compile the pages. How do I make it so that all of the ASPX pages are precompiled before putting them on the server?
I have built a few custom applications that run on WSS 3 using the Visual Studio 2010 Web application template. When I compile the application, Visual Studio creates the assembly file in the bin directory which I copy over later to the production server (another machine) with WSS 3. The compiled application dll file is copied into the bin folder inside the virtual directory of WSS and runs fine in there
View 2 RepliesI'm trying create unit testing for an existing website project (not web application project). I cannot access my under test classes unless I use accessor. However, if I use accessor, I have problem to initiate an object with passing arguments. I only want to create unit tetsing for App_Code. After searching web, and I found that I'd better to create a web application project using my current existing website project. From solution explorer, add new project ->using existing website. My questions is: what impact will have for my current website to create the new project? Should I just convert my current website to web application? If do that, will it cuase problems on my website? I am new on asp.net, still learning..
View 1 RepliesI just converted an ASP.NET Web Site Project to a Web Application Project in VS 2010. After I run the application though it seems that my class polymorphism broke. I don't have a clue as to why this could occur.
So in the following code when I call base.OnLoad(e) I am getting errors in the base class because the variable myString is null. In fact all the variables for the Base class are null. I can do

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 was not able to do unit testing for our existing web site project. I converted the web site project to a web application project. I did some unit testing and changes on the converted web application project. However, my co-worker was doing UI testing on the web site project. We need put UI testing and unit testing to the web application project. Is it possible to move the UI testing code that my co-worker did to the web application project I am working? If so, how do you do it?

View 6 RepliesI am using the Standard edition of VS2008 to develop a website locally. Now, I am ready to upload the website to a remote server, but I cannot find any output to transfer. I clicked on the "Build Web Site" option of the "Build" drop-down list and got a "Build Succeeded" message, but nothing else.
I only found a file of type "Visual Studio Solution user Options". It was in a folder under a "Projects" folder within the "Visual Studio 2008" subdirectory. Does that one file contain everything needed for the website to function on the remote server?
I also found another folder along with the file named "PrecompiledWeb". This folder contained web page files and related static files of a previous precompile operation, but no newer files. There was also a "bin" folder with old compiled files and application extension files. I cannot find newly compiled files anywhere. What am I doing wrong?
My web-application project (not "web-site" project) is translated to 15 different languages using the ASP.NET's built-in resource engine - which means I have tons of *.aspx.resx files in the "App_LocalResources" folder.All these resources are precompiled by ASP.NET when I first launch the application and it takes a lot of time. I mean A LOT. 5-10 minutes. I have to wait 5-10 minutes every time I make some tiny change to my code, just to see how it works.Is there any way to pre-compile these resource in Visual Studio? Changing the "Build Action" for all these resx-files to "Embedded resource" does not work :( (or I'm doing it wrong?
View 2 Replieshave a web application that in build has no errors and it works fine.i have precompiled it sucessfully several times before.but now after some changes when i am precompiling it, the precompiled files are not created and a warning is shown at the command prompt several times.the warning is:BC42328:The 'AddressOf' expression has no effect in this context because the method argument to 'AddressOf' requires a relaxed conversion to the delegate type of the event. Assign the 'AddressOf' expression to a variable, and use the variable to add or remove the method as the handler
View 1 RepliesI have a webapplication designed in asp.net 2.0 which works fine since years.Recently we wanted to protect the source code so we tried to precompile the site using publish method. Unfortunately it showed hundreds of errors and the build failed. then i created a test site with only two pages and no other controls except a button and a label control in them which show server time and navigates to each other using response.redirect whenever the button is clicked.
View 2 RepliesAt the moment, I've been pre-compiling using the aspnet_compiler with the -u switch but not -i. However I've noticed that if I've done a build in development since, even if I'm only promoting a flat aspx page to live, it looks for the revelant compilation *.dll which is not there.For my website, my ideal is that:
* I can update the aspx pages in terms of layout (like with asp.net 1.1)
* If code changes, I only need to deploy the updated aspx pages and the new compiled dll (like with asp.net 1.1), rather than the whole site again (generally I'm adding / improving features rather than whole re-write, and I don't want excessive downtime - also I don't have access to the live IIS)
* I'd rather not place the aspx.vb files on the live web server
I am trying to merge my vb.net Web application project with my c# mvc project not ideal at all but the project is too big to do it any other way.

What is UseCustomServer and UseCustomServerUrl in a ASP.NET Web Application Project? Some background: I got the latest version of a Solution from a vendor. I added a few files to the WebSite project file. When I built the solution, the following tags were added to the WebSite.csproj file.
<UseCustomServer>False</UseCustomServer>
<CustomServerUrl>
</CustomServerUrl>
I am hesitent to check the project file back in with these added tags. But I don't want to have to meddle with the project file with a text editor to remove the tags each time I add files to the project. Could these tags hurt the vendor's build in some way? Why is my build adding the tags? I am using ASP.NET 3.5 SP1.

The code works properly and when I open the view in mozilla it displays the calendar, however that is all it does. I understand that the dates don't and shouldn't do anything when clicked on because I haven't edited the function that handles that.

My application cant find clasess from BLL, also when I changed build action of my classes into 'compile' my bll classes cant see Table Adapters from DAL. I dont know where is the problem.

View 2 RepliesCurrently we have a bunch of web sites (web site projects) that I think should be converted to web application projects. Everybody agrees.
But a number of custom BuildProviders are used to generate controls and unfortunately MSDN says that
Adding a customized BuildProvider class to the Web.config file works in an ASP.NET Web site but does not work in an ASP.NET Web application project
Are there some ways to migrate though without full discarding of custom BuildProviders mechanism?

View 2 RepliesWe have a large ASP.NET project which has 100s of BLL classes. In our ObjectDataSources in the UI layer we have typename="". Because we are converting to a web application project, the typename has to include the root namespace of the project.
