MVC - Testing Windows Authentication And Local Express DB
Jul 30, 2010I am testing with windows authentication and a local express DB. My DB has users and roles tables. Following link explains this concept:[URL]
Code:
[HandleError]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize(Roles = "Managers")]
public ActionResult CompanySecrets()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize(Users="redmond\swalther")]
public ActionResult StephenSecrets()
{
return View();
}
}
Above roles are coming from NTLM. Is there a way where i can map roles in my DB table so that these are then available to me like User.IsInRoles("Admin") etc?
Visual Studio :: Testing A Simple Web Service?
Jan 20, 2010So I started a new solution in vs2010b2.
1. I added a WebService project to this solution.
2. I added a WebApplication project to this solution.
3. I clicked Add Web Reference
4. I clicked Web services on the local machine
5. Web Services listed on my local machine:
"There was an error while enumerating services on local machine:
Active Directory Services cannot find the web server. A possible cause for this is an incompatibility between versions of Internet Information Server (IIS) on the client and the server. Another possible cause is that IIS is not installed on the local machine, or the user identity under which you are running may not have permissions to view websites on this machine. To view websites on this machine, make sure that you run Visual Studio as administrator. On Windows Vista computers with IIS installed, make sure that
IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility feature is enabled."
I have Visual Studio 2010 beta and Visual Studio 2008 Professional installed on this computer. I do not have any IIS server installed. Do I require a IIS server when coding webservices+webapplications?[URL]
WCF / ASMX :: Testing Web Service With No Port Number?
Jun 18, 2010The way I quickly test the asmx file is to "View in Browser" from Visual Studio (I'm using 2005, and have IIS 6). The address shows up like this:
"http://localhost:1399/MyWebService.asmx"
where 1399 is a generated random number and can change each time I test by this process.
The books I've been reading (as well as other sources in the internet) keep referring to testing web services by typing something like this in the browser:
"http://localhost/MyFolder/MyWebService.asmx"
where "MyWebService" is the name of the web service and "MyFolder" is where that webservice is.
This "http://localhost/" with no port number testing never worked for me. Some books mention random port numbers, but most do not even mention port numbers. [URL]
Architecture :: Validation, Service Layers And Testing?
Dec 23, 2010I have a quick question in regards to testing my validation. I have been looking through a few MVC examples and have noticed the 'Validating with a Service Layer' tutorial which is pretty nice. It discusses how to abstract your code out etc..My question is, that they have validation occuring in the service layer, if errors occur, the error + message then gets added to a model state dictionary.Now i want to test my model to make sure my business rules are being applied to it, but with this approach, for starters, the Validation method is not in the interface. Now, if the validation method was in the interface, during testing you would have to re-implement the validation on the testing side.Am i missing somthing? Where should your validation code go? I feel like it should go in the model, but then i have to track the errors on the model side.

Architecture :: Unit Testing - Testing Private Methods Using PrivateObject?
Feb 23, 2011Recently for a class to implement unit test for one of its private methods I used PrivateObject by creating private accessor instead of refelection, to which i received a code review comment as below
"My main concern with Private Object is the use of object[] in constructor. It replaces strong typing enforced by compiler with JavaScript-style run-time error detection.Consequently , personally, I would not recommend it."
Comments above confused me beacuse as per my understanding reflection also needs the object[] to invoke any method.

View 2 RepliesHow To Make A Web (WCF) Service Act As Windows Service
Sep 22, 2010I have a web application - .net 4. The client is having a requirement that he want to send email to his users on a regular basis about his new courses etc.
The webapplication created will hosted on a "Shared hosting environment" with no excess to windows services - file system other than the web root folder through FTP.
Due to shared hosting i cannot create a windows service for him which will check the database - if there are any scheduled mail to send every 5 min.
So my question is - Is there anyway i can run a wcf web service or any other web based service or page or handler which can keep running and automatically checks the database for any new scheduled mails - if yes start sending it automatically in an different thread.
Integration Testing Web Services Against A Testing Database?
Oct 27, 2010I'm currently building a .net web application that uses WCF web services to allow a Flex front end to access the database.
I'm in the process of setting up some unit/integration style testing on the web services and am trying to work out the best way to allow the tests to access and modify data in a separate test database.
Currently, the connection string in my unit test project points to my testing database, and the connection string in my web services project points to my development database. However, as I am using Linq it appears that when I call the web service methods from my test class, it uses the development database connection string. I have looked into creating mock objects or in-memory database but I believe the same issue would occur.
Is there a way to get this to work, or is my entire idea about what I want incorrect, in which case is there a better way to set this up?

View 3 RepliesArchitecture :: Using Windows Service In Web Application?
Sep 10, 2010I wanna embed the windows service in the web application. I have seen few posts in the web. where they generate separate exe for the windows service and use it as an installable.
The same process i tried doing it but it threw an OS error in my server which is windows 2000 and didnt supported the executable.
However the website of mine runs fine in the same server. Thus i was thinking if i cd embed the same code in the web application.
Also, in my case the website of mine takes job for simulation. These jobs are taken for simulation execution and nearly takes 12hrs for completion and if they are not completed within twelve hours then they are supplied extra twelve hours to complete the simulation jobs.
The simulation executables are a series of executable and bat files.
The results of the simulation gets updated in the tables of MySql and hence are displayed to the user.

Monitor A Windows Service Using A Webpage?
Feb 14, 2010I have built a web page that does a complex processing, and I realized recently that I need to convert it to a windows service running at the background and keeping the web page for monitoring and initiating the service.
The service will process some files, and provides information messages to the user.
I'm not sure how to implement the link between the windows service and the web site, but i was trying to avoid using MSMQ to connect both application together.
Security :: .NET Membership Within A Windows Service App?
Jan 5, 2011I have a web application that uses a SQL database which contains all the standard asp membership tables.Within my Web application I use the standard asp.net membersip logic for adding new users, roles, etc...The point here is I dont use any custom providers for anything.Now on that same machine that is hosting my web application I am writing a Windows service in c# .net.As part of one of the method calls to the windows service application I was curious if I would be able to use any type of membership classes that would connect to my existing database and perform the same functionality as does the ASP.NET membership classes.

Do Background Processing Without Using Windows Service?
Mar 11, 2011I have an web application which needs some calculations and processing on data. This job is a long running job(few hours). Job is initiated by user.
Requirement.
User Clicks on Process Data.
Some functions are called to start data processing.
Data Processing runs for hours.
User is given feedback of percentage completed etc.
Even if user logs off and then again log on he should get this feedback.
The requirement is somewhat similar to Spiceworks. Where it runs in background to detect the devices/computers in network and the user is notified in his page about the progress. But spicework uses windows service. We don't want to us windows service.
Now the question is.
What if user closes the page, will the task still run in background. This task has to be completed fully.If terminated in between output will not have any meaning. How to actually to design this long running process. In ASP.Net environment. Also is there a way to show all/same user who logs in the status of processing.

Jul 19, 2011I have a web service within my application (app A) writing to an oracle database (database resides on a different server). when i call the web service from another application (app B), it fails to write to the database. when the web service is called from app A, it successfully writes to the database.
I guess this issue has to do with authentication/impersonation of ASP.NET. both applications (A & B ) are subsites within the same website in IIS and both uses windows authentication (intranet applications). I dont have access to the server and IIS.
