Set Up Application Services Without Using Asp_regsql?
Jul 14, 2010
Is it possible to set up ASP.NET application services (membership, profiles, roles etc) for a site without having to run the aspnet_regsql tool directly?
I have managed to create the admin user and roles in session start for the first user that visits the site (the developer), but want to go an extra step before hand and create the tables if they don't exist.
The ultimate idea would be just for the DBA to create a blank database on the server and have the web application itself create all the required tables (if they don't exist).
Apologies if this seems obvious, but after a week searching I can't find a clear answer to my problem.
I have developed an application in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express that uses the asp.net application services membership provider. It works well in development on my machine (data in the ASPNETDB.MDF database).
I packaged my application and deployed the relevant files with FTP to my shared hosting provider.
I took a copy of the ASPNETDB.MDF and restored it to the SQL Server 2008 on my shared hosting. I can connect to this through the Database Explorer in Visual Web Developer, but it doesn't contain any schema or data.
I know once I have the database in production I will have to make sure the connection string in web.config is poiting to it, but I don't know how to get the DB to production in the first place.
Am using two web application and one web service. My doubt is, am sending the dataset from my first application to Web service. After sending the dataset to my web service, i like to fetch the dataset using second application from the web service. How shall i fetch the dataset by using second application.
Note:
1) sending the dataset from first application to web service. 2) web service receives the dataset from the first application. 3) second application want to fetch the dataset from the web service which was sent by first application.
1)My Windows services application folder is MyWInservice
2)Executable .exe i.e. “myServices .exe“ file located under MyWInservice \myServicesinDebug
3)I have RUN bat file C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727InstallUtil.exe /u "myServices.exe" C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727InstallUtil.exe "myServices.exe"
4)After running InstallUtil, myServices.InstallLog and myServices.InstallStategenerated under .. binDebug folder.
5)Upon pressing F5, I still get the same error. Error is:
Windows Service Start Failure,Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command.
Can some one inform me whether I need to replicate the same set of entities in the client which are similar to that of the ones in the server? I have planned to start a proj with service functions as wcf services and in turn they are getting referred in silverlight client application.
Incase if i need to consider casting to or back from the return value lists of service methods in the server, should i be creating entity class in the client application as well? Or is there a work around? Something like exposing the entities from the server just as the services functions?
I've inherited a multi-technology project which comprises a Flash user interface contained in a web-browser-like host and has an ASP.NET piece which provides web services to the Flash UI, background/watchdog services plus a web application for administration of the system.
Our transatlantic project conference calls are getting confusing due to the various terms people use to describe the ASP.NET piece. Indeed, ASP.NET has its' own project terminology including 'Web Site' and 'Web Application' to both of which one can add a 'Web Service'.
We need to expose some services (i.e. AddressValidatorService, CustomerFinderService) that currently reside in an ASP.NET application to other applications within our organization. Exposing these services via WCF seems like a natural fit, but I don't see any best-practices for how to pull these common services into a WCF wrapper in such a way that my existing ASP.NET application can continue to use them with minimal code changes and/or awareness that the service they are consuming is no longer in-process. I'm especially looking for recommendations on how to structure the existing ASP.NET solution and whether to host our new WCF in the same solution or in some new shared WCF solution referenced by both our ASP.NET application and external callers.Also, is it bad practice to simply promote the DTOs currently only consumed in-process via ASP.NET to full fledged data contracts or is it preferable to create duplicate DTOs that are explicitly decorated with [DataContract]?
The type My.API.Class is ambiguous: it could come from assembly '[on Temporary ASP.NET Files]' or from assembly '[on bin folder]'
The problem occurs when debugging a Web App, speciically when making a request to a WebMethod of a WebService.The project compiles just right. It generates My.Website.dll on bin folder and if I publish the Web Application. It works fine.The asmx file is on the root of the application. The CodeBehind file is on App_Code and its marked to be compiled to generate My.Website.dll.The way this person exposes its problem is somehow similar but I get starting to be lost when he talks about a proxy class and shared dlls I don't use.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Release candidate1. I have to deploy my web application which consists of a website, certain window services, certain WCF services and Sql Server 2005 database.I read Vishal Joshi's blog(http://vishaljoshi.blogspot.com/2009/09/overview-post-for-web-deployment-in-vs.html) detaing Web Package in VS2010. I want to know how to deploy window services and WCF services using Web Package. Also, I want to create a web setup (.msi) for deployment instead of Web Package so that the .msi takes care of all the application and database deployment like the web package does.

Makes it sense to use ASP.NET applications together with WCF RIA Services or WCF Data Services (to encapsulate the data access layer) ? Or are these technolgies only useful for Silverlight applications.
1/ I have an ASP.NET MVC application running on my server, it uses Windows Authentication.
2/ There is different web application (written in Java) somewhere else that also uses Windows Authentication.
In the Controller of my MVC application I need to grab some information from this other Web app. How can I connect to the "foreign" application using the credentials of the user that is accessing my Controller?
Makes it sense to use ASP.NET togehter with WCF RIA Services or WCF Data Services ? Or are these technologies/frameworks only proper for Silverlight primarily ?
am involved in a project with UI comprising mainly of Action Script. My role as an ASP.NET programmer is to pull data from DB using Web Services and supply it as XML to the Action Script.if I could learn more about XML Web Services in ASP.NET.
I am facing the situation in which i have to expose a dll (managed) through web services. Basically make everything from dll accessible to other applications through web services. The dll is a third party and i cannot give any other info on it , but my problem would not depend on this details.
I am looking for the latest best practices (latest tech) approach on how to start this. One thing i have been documented over was Web Service Software Factory, but i do not know how good would this approach be for my situation, and i would welcome some ideas based on experience ofc. The top things i liked and need in my project about the WS Factory were : SOAP faults handling , Entity Translator , Versioning (covering both forward and backward compatibility).
