How does one put up a server maintenance page or reference..
Do you build a whole separate asp.net project with you basic page and logo and use that on the domain, until your main project is back up and running..
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 ?
In asp.net 3.5, what's the best (most convenient) way to redirect users to a page that informs them the "Site is currently undergoing maintenance. check back later."
Originally, someone recomended setting the starting page in IIS, but I don't have access to IIS (hosting company does) so that's not an option. Another person said to go into visual studio, right-click on the desired starting page, and mark it as "Set as start page", but that would involve recompiling & uploading the website EVERY time I want to perform maintenance & then recompile again once I'm done.
Am I able to specify the start page in my web.config file or something along these lines?
I have an ASP.NET site that I'm going to have to take down to make some major structural updates to, and I was wondering how I should go about it from the client-side perspective. I have heard of an App_Offline.htm file or something like that, but I've never really gotten that to successfully work. Does anyone know how to do this?
EDIT
My app is running ASP.NET 4.0, for what it is worth.
in my default.aspx page i have a dropdown List and a textbox with a submit button below that there are 2 listbox... and the dropdown list holds the names of the listbox
my logic here is to select an item from the dropdown list and put some text in the text box and submit the form which will add an item to the listbox selected.. but when i do this i get an error saying Object reference not set to an instance of an object. i tried to figure out the problem and found that when i remove the reference to the Site Master Page it works fine and when i undo and apply my reference back to the Site Master Page i get the same error.

What I'm looking to do is lock the application so the admin can do maintenance for however long. All i want to do is be able to click a button on a "maintenance" page and it makes it so anyone who attempts to use the system and anyone who is already in the system is redirected to a page, if they try to do anything, that says the site is down for maintenance.
on postback, on redirect, etc. No Access until that button is clicked again to unlock.
I want to put website in maintenance mode, so i can rollover my new stuff. How can i keep users away from loging into my website and i will test my website live.
App_offline.html takes admin away as well. Is there any logical way of doing this?
I'm looking for a simple webform for maintenance of a SQL Server which has only two columns: LookupID (int, not null) identity and LookupValue (nvarchar (50), not null).
View 1 RepliesA web application works with the database. Once a day, the database should be scanned and alerts should be sent to users. From what I've seen out there, additional project has to be created which will be installed on the server and will work with the same database. Executable created by this project has to be installed in Windows scheduler to be activated once a day.This seems complicated and inefficient: starting additional executable and working on the same database.
View 1 RepliesI have been tasked with producing a web application for a new client. What they're looking for requires a Gridview with slave Detailsview within an Update Panel.
I produced this, including the Gridview in markup, as follows:[Code]....
[Code]....
However, although it works, it's been requested that I move most of this to code behind (for easier maintenance), which is causing me a few headaches.
What is the correct option here, since I see many potential methods?
Should I create an instance of the Gridview and Update Panel in markup, then define all events and columns in code behind? Create a new Gridview entirely in code behind and place it within the Update Panel? Create both in code behind?

I am using VS2005 and I have a solution file (.SLN) which has 8 projects. I moved the solution file to a different path on a shared folder to have better organization of my projects and to allow access to the solution/projects from any computer on the network. After that, I edited the .SLN file so that the path of the projects in the solution file are correct (all on shared folders).
After that, I opened the .SLN and everything seemd to be working fine. However, I notcied that the "Start Options" of the website part of the solution file is missing the "Start Options", ie, the Start Options are reset to default values. I think also, but not sure, some other settings of the Solution/Projects have been reset.
Questions:
1. Where the Web Site "Start Options" are stored ?
2. How I can maintain the Start Options and similar settings if the .SLN file is moved or opened from different computers on the network ?
3. I am not using an team development tools, only plain (vanilla) VS 2005 Prof. Edition. Is it possible to have 2 or more developers work on the same solution/projects (shared on the network), if both developers will coordinate manually simultanous access to the porject files/resources/source code ?
I am attempting to access a textbox control on a master page from a code behind base class but having problems.
I have 3 levels of master pages. m1.master is the master page for m2.master which is the master page for m3.master.
m3.master has a textbox as shown below
<%Master
Language="C#"
MasterPageFile="~/m2.master"
AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="M3.master.cs"
Inherits="M3"
%>
<asp:Content
ID="Content5"
ContentPlaceHolderID="M2"
Runat="Server">
<asp:TextBox
ID="text1"
runat="server"
></asp:TextBox>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder
ID="M3"
runat="Server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Content>
I have a content page c1.aspx that uses m3.master as its master page as shown below:
<%@
Page
Title=""
Language="C#"
MasterPageFile="~/m3.master"
AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="c1.aspx.cs"
Inherits="_c1"
%>
<%@
MasterType
VirtualPath="~/m3.master"
%>
<asp:Content
ID="Content1"
ContentPlaceHolderID="M3"
Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
My content page codebehind class inherits from a base class BaseForm
public partial
class
_c :
BaseForm{}
The problem that i am having is that I cannot access the texbox from the class BaseForm. The BaseForm code is as follows:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

In one of our ASP.NET Web site solutions I need to roll out an update that might take reasonable time. It spawns multiple Windows Azure Workers and projects and so simple Deployment Swap is ruled out.
Essentially I'm just thinking about way to redirect all web requests to a "site is under maintenance" page for some time, given the project is under Windows Azure.
I'm aware of the app-offline.htm trick with IIS, but I doubt that Azure Web Role will allow this one to be deployed or run (it spins down the app domain).
reference 2 columns in a query? I have 4 tables
First Table
[Code]....
My first method I tried I thought I had solved it. The last 3 tables are populated through a webform. The query I created definitely produces the output above but I had to create 4 more duplicate tables. The solution was a bit shortsighted as users can also delete items from the last table. So when users deleted amounts it did not reflect on the output. I want to know if the above tables can be used to produce the intended output
I've added a web reference locally which looks up post codes. All works ok locally. Now I just want to deploy this to my web space. There is a app_WebResources folder with various files that were created when I added this. Basically what I want to know is How do I get all this to work online?

This site has an mvc view for a dashboard and also contains webforms controls that could be an IFeatureItem. What I want to do is loop through the webforms controls in this view and do the same processing on them as I would on a normal page, but I can't figure out a way to do so and have had no luck googling. Is this possible within a module? Is PreRequestHandlerExecute the right event to set up my event handlers?
I have four tables test1, test2, test3, test4

I have a patient entry table, which has patientID as primary key. if I want to retrieve tests information about a particular test then I have to add a pid as foreign key??
do i have to add a test_ID kinda field in all four tests tables????
how to do this in sql server management studio.
I have 3 tables
Restaurants
IDNameAddress
Location
ID (Foreign Key)LocationID
Food
ID (Foreign Key)FoodID
Here's what I want to do, I have two variables @FID(food ID) and @LID(LocationID). I want something like
select * from restaurant where ID in (( select ID from location where locationID = @LID) AND (select ID from Food where FoodID = @FID))
The bold part is where I'm having problems. I want it to check both the Location and Food table for a match.
I'm having a hard time putting it into words :p I hope you get what I mean
I am trying to call web reference "A" in an application.
The web reference "A" will then call a function in another web reference "B" through HTTPS connection (require certificate).
Then I keep getting the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException' occurred in System.Web.Services.dll
When you use ASP.NET web site (instead of web application model) and add reference to an assembly from local folder, Visual Studio, it seems, understands that this local assembly is also in GAC and so does NOT copy this assembly to bin folder (as it does with non-GAC assemblies), but simply adds new record in web.config file.
Why such a behaviour? Is it possible to force copy to bin folder (I need this since .dll is not on target environment)? I can add assembly to bin folder as file and it will work, but in this case bin folder contents will be in source control, which is not good.
I am working on converting a project from C# to VB and am facing this weird issue. 1 page cannot compile and I get the reference error, but the weird thing is that the compiler shows the error as coming from ASP.NET generated code. Visual Studio shows me that error is coming from my ASPX page. I cannot seem to figure out why or where this error is occuring. Also if I take the inherits attribute out I don't get the compilation error. The code in aspx page is below:
