Development And Test Environment Practices?
Jul 7, 2010This question is for ASP.NET and SQL Server developers. What are your best practices with respect to setting up your development and test environment? I'm interesting in the following issues: How many tiers do you recommend and what goes on on each tier? Just dev, test, and production or perhaps dev, test, staging, and production? Which types of applications and/or servers should run on actual physical hardware and which can get away with a VM? What are your strategies for loosely coupling users from web sites, web developers from their web/app/DB servers, and DB developers from their DB servers?
How do developers stay "DRY?" What are the pros and cons to putting web, app, and DB servers on their own machines? Does putting servers on separate machines in order to minimize contention for a machine's resources trump any NIC and network latencies that might be introduced by putting them on different machines? How do you configure your web apps to minimize contention for resources (e.g. virtual directories, separate application pools, etc.) How and how often do you refresh your databases on each tier? Do you just refresh the data or both the data and objects?
Ideal Dev / Test / QA Environment For Development?
May 26, 2010I am working to rebuild my company's dev/test/QA environment. We have 10-15 programmers that are involved in a number of projects. They currently all develop locally on their PCs and use the dev environment for testing. We currently do not have a QA environment, so deployments are frequently a pain because bugs are usually found after something has gone live. Here's what I envision:
Doing away with everyone's local admin privileges and making everyone develop on a dev server. Create a QA environment that is identical to our production systems. This will allow them to test deployments. Create a new test environment that is more locked down than the dev server so that proper testing can be done. What are your thoughts? What is the best way to set up an environment like this? We develop ASP .NET applications using MS Visual Studio 2008.

Specified Cast Is Not Valid Error On Development But Not On Test Server?
Sep 1, 2010I have a .Net 2 solution with some asp classic pages.I get a specified cast is not valid error when I access the page on my local. Below is the vb function where I get the Error:
Public Function Retrieve(ByVal vntSeqId As String, ByRef vntPart As String, ByRef vntPartKey As String, ByRef vntEntDate As String _
, ByRef vntStatus As String, ByRef vntOrigGblId As String, ByRef vntOrigNetId As String, ByRef vntOrigName As String, ByRef vntOrigPhone As String _ [code]...
At first, I thought the problem is with the source code and we were thinking the source code we have is different with the ones deployed on test and prod servers. But when I tried to upload it on the test server, I don't get the specified cast is not valid error.
How To Approach A Sharepoint 2010 Development Project Coming From WebForms And MVC
Jan 20, 2011I have a good amount of knowledge in the ASP.NET Webforms and MVC worlds. Shortly I will be tasked with implementing custom web applications with Sharepoint. I have great flexibility with this project (i.e - I can use custom web apps outside of Sharepoint if that's possible) but like most projects the most limiting factor I have to deal with is time.
Here are some questions that come to mind:
Can I easily integrate a custom MVC project into Sharepoint 2010? What are the pros and cons if I can? Same as #1 only with Webforms. If #1 and #2 are not viable solutions, can I easily create custom web applications within the Sharepoint world? What will the learning curve be with my background? I understand developers can now use Windows 7 to deliver Sharepoint 2010 solutions. It looks like I can use a trial of Microsoft Sharepoint Foundations 2010. If that's correct, are there any development differences or gotchas I need to be aware of before digging into the Foundation version? I don't want to get up to speed on Foundation and then find out that the Server edition (the version that will be deployed) is vastly different.
Write Use Case(s) & Test Driven Development For Binding A Gridview?
Mar 9, 2011I'm still trying to understand and use Use Cases and Test Driven Development, but having a hard time crossing the line. I'm hoping someone can provide a good example of how setting a datasource and/or databinding a gridview could be accomplished using Test Driven Development.reate an aspx page and add the gridview control to it.create a method in the code behind called BindGrid(datacollection,gridview) that passes the collection and gridview to a method in a class outside my website so I can actually write the Unit test for the method, and returns a databound gridview.On the BindGrid method, I right click and select "Create Unit Test" which creates a new test project for me with an outline test for my BindGrid() method.Now I guess there are a number of test I could write, for example:testTrueDataCollectionBindstoGridView() to see if the collection datatype actually binds? I'm not sure the other test to write?This is how I currently understand I would go about TDD and Unit testing my example. It feels very clumsy and I'm hoping for some feedback as to what I'm doing wrong, and ideas for improvement.How would you go about writing a test for a collection binding to a control? For example say I wanted to bind a dictionary to a drop down list. What test should I be writing, and how would I go about writing them?
View 3 RepliesWCF / ASMX :: Deploying Running Test Webservice On Localhost Development Computer?
Dec 30, 2010 I created a simple web service in VS2010 (C# - XP Professional SP3 development computer -- running .Net 3.5/4.0) that just does the basic "Hello World" and changes Temperatues from Farenhet to Celcius functions and ran fine in VS2010. I then created a directory in C:Inetpubwwwrootwebsvcvs10a (of the same development computer). In the localhost IIS I converted this to an application directory (properties/create application). I tried to deploy my web service here using the publish wizard of VS2010 but was getting errors stating that the URL was not in the correct format, so I decided to just copy myService1.asmx, Web.Config, and the bin folder (which contains the compiled assembly) directly to C:Inetpubwwwrootwebsvcvs10a. Then from the localhost IIS I tried to browse myService1.asmx and received the following error:
Configuration Error
Description:An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.
Source Error: [Code]....

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3615; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3618
--I tried changing the targetFramework to 3.5 in web.config, but that did not fix the problem. I then removed the targetFramework attribute from web.config and then got this error message:
Could not load file or assembly 'myVS2010Websvc' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.
Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'myVS2010Websvc' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.
What can I / should I do to resolve this problem so that I can deploy this web service project to localhost -- don't I already have .Net 4.0 runtime on this machine? It is the same machine that is running VS2010.
Visual Studio 2008 - Test Multiple Domains Using Web Application Development Server?
Mar 25, 2010I am developing a single web application that will dynamically change its content depending on which domain name is used to reach the site. Multiple domains will point to the same application. I wish to use the following code (or something close) to detect the domain name and perform the customizations:
[code]....
I would like to test the functionality of the above using the ASP.NET development server. I created mappings in the local HOSTS file to map [URL] to 127.0.0.1, and [URL] to 127.0.0.1. I then browse to the application with the browser using [URL] (etc).
When I try to test this code using the ASP.net development server the [URL] always says localhost. It does NOT capture the host entered in the browser, only localhost.
Is there a way to test the URL detection functionality using the development server?
Security :: VS2008 Development Server (local Host) & Hosted IIS7 Site Different Configuration - How To Test Application
Mar 19, 2010How can I test an application that I am publishing to a remote provider's IIS7 hosted site, with the VS2008 development server that is built in with VS2008 on an XP Machine?
My membership/roles work perfectly up on the remote host. On ths hosted IIS7 site when I try to access a secure directory it redirects to login, and I am able to login, however when I launch (debug - F5) from VS2008, it will provide that folder/resource, no questions asked. Same build, config, etc... nothing has changed.
I am running XP, and local IIS version installed is 5.1.
My guess is what is happening is that the new format required in the web.config is configured properly for IIS7 deployment, which is why it works remotely, but when running locally through VS2008/XP it is running with an older version on IIS and does not recoginize the new tags.

Differentiating Test Site From Development Site ?
Nov 16, 2010We have a couple of ASP.NET applications running here at work and our users get the test site confused with the production site. What is the best way to help the users know they are at the test site. Is there a best practice for how this can be accomplished? Maybe have a custom control or something on the screen display "TEST SITE"?
View 1 RepliesC# - Is A New Thread In A Visual Studio Test Project Aborted When The Test Ends
May 15, 2010i have to do some message exchange with a 3rd party (in a website).When the client posts a page, i start the message exchange. When that doesn't succeed for some reason, i report this to the client by rendering the page with a message.On the background, in a separate thread, i start a process to send abort messages to the 3rd party. I can't do this while the user is waiting for the page to come back, because it might take a few minutes.But in a test project, the test ends when the message to the 3rd party is sent, and after the new thread is started. But it seems that the new thread also ends, when the test is done.
Is that normal behaviour?I do start the thread in a new class with a reference to 2 objects from the class which tries to send the message in the first place, may that be a problem?EDIT: it keeps running when the whole process is started in IIS
Is It Wise To Mix MVC Development And Web Form Development In The Same Group Of Products?
Oct 20, 2010We have a largely asp.net web form team (With some Oracle developers thrown in).
Question 1:
Is it a good idea to start using asp.net MVC which will mean redevelopment of a number of standard controls for not much benefit.
Question 2:
Is it a good idea to hire developers where there most recent skills are with asp.net MVC?
I doubt there is any benefit adopting MVC now, given the 100+ applications in this suite of products, and the maintenance/rework this will cause. Given this, is there any particular reason to hire MVC developers, as they won't be hitting the ground running, which is what I need now.

C# - Access A Networked Drive Via The Web?
Feb 4, 2010We have around 2000 staff. Each has a shared drive to store some of their files. This shared drive points to a central location on our network.Example:
John's F: drive -> \ournetworkjohn.doe
Jane's F: drive -> \ournetworkjane.doe
Each user will have a folder within the root "ournetwork" labeled with their username. I do not have to worry about the directory creation as that's already done for me. These users are all tied into our AD for authentication. Folder name == AD username.We would like the ability to allow our users to access their mapped "F" drive from outside our network through a web page. I understand that the programming involved(assuming it comes to that) will not rely on their mapped drive but rather the UNC path as posted above.I am open to suggestions on how to get this accomplished. ASP.NET? Is there just an IIS solution like WebDAV? (although client-side WebDAV on win 7 seems to be broken, so that may be off the table).

Mar 17, 2010I have an ASp.net application using C#. I need to copy a file present on the web server machine to a remote machine on the network. Although this seems to be a trivial matter I am having difficulties copying the exe I am Trying
string Source = @"c: emp est.exe"
string Destination = @"Z: est.exe"
File.Copy(Source, Destination, true)
Z: is mapped to the Remote machine network drive. I am able to physically copy files to this drive from the Web Server machine, but when I try from ASp.net, I get the following error System.Io.Exception: Logon Failure: unknown user name or bad password
I think it has to do with the Web Server using the ASPNET user , which does not have the right credentials on the remote machine. I do not know how to solve this issue I tried using WMI too, I was able to copy files from one directory to another directory on the remote machine, but not from the Web Server machine to Remote machine
