How do you create your web site data admin for your customers. Do you do them programatically or do you use any specific tool?
I have been using AspMaker and is not a bad option but I'm sure there are a few more options out there. I've seen that MS has a Web Data Administrator but for me it looks more than an sql server web admin tool rather than a frontend that has the business logic.
I can't get past the "Test" link on the "Provider" tab in my Web Site Admin Tool (WSAT).
I'm running SQL Express (10.0.2531.0) and have created my "ASPNETDB" database using the version of aspnet_regsql that came with .Net 2.0. (When that work, I re-ran the version that came with 4.0.)
I have the following in my web.config:
[Code]....
And this:
[Code]....
When I go into the WSAT, to the Provider tab, I select "AspNetSqlProvider" and click test.
The error message I get is this:
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I am trying to send an email using the gmail smtp server. I am trying to enter the SMTP settings into the Web Site Admin tool. I have set
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
server port: 587
from: myemail@gmail.com
Sender's User Name: my real gmail username
Sender's Password: my real gmail password
I am getting the following error when I try to send an email as a result on using the CreateUserWizard after successfully creating a new user.
Code:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. i29sm30127820vcr.12
I am having some major headaches trying to get a Web Dev 2010 and SQL Server Express 2008 R2 to work together. At one point I hade Web Dev Express 2008 and SQL Express 2008 working together just fine, then I upgraded to 2008 Express R2 and have never been able to recover.
I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall several times, browsed the forums, watched videos, and while I have picked up a few things, I am still far from being able to get these two apps to work together for basic user authentication.
Here is where I am at. Web Dev Express 2010, .Net 4.0, and SQL Server Express 2008R2 installed. I have ran the .v4 aspnet_regsql.exe app against SQLEXPRESS, but when I bring up the Web Site Admin Tool, it cannot connect.
My machine.config connectin info is: [Code]....
Thinking that I may have some uninstalled connection info causing problems, I reviewed several of the security videos on this site, and decided to attempt to use my own database install rather then the default ASPNETDB.
So I now have 2 Database Engines (SQLEXPRESS and LOC). I created a new databases on LOC, named LOC and AspNetServicesDB. I then created users named LOCADMIN and AspNetServicesUser, made then the owners, and set the default database for eacg.Next I ran aspnet_regsql.exe from the v4.0.30319 folder, connected successfully, and installed the tables under AspNetServicesDB. The new tables (roles, membership, profiles) were installed. I then proceeded to copy the above machine.config connection info to the web.config file, and modified it as Joe Stagner did in this video. My edited web.config info:
[Code]....
Note that password is set to the real password in my config file.
Yet when I bring up the Web Site Administration Tool test the single provider, I get this error:
[Code]....
I have a question with this tool. I have a database listed in the App_folder, and the database has a connection in Server explorer. The connection string is listed in the web.config file, and I am able to add users and roles with the Web Admin Tool. However,when in the Web Admin Tool, under Configuration tab, I receive an error when I click on the "test" button. The error reads " Could not establish a connection to the database.If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider."
View 6 RepliesI'm looking for a way to create a login control without the use of web admin tool
Here are my system requirements
Windows 7 Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition ESET Anti-virus but SQL and Studio files excluded from being scanned. I have got a database. I've created the front end of the user login control manually not using the toolbox. Basically what I need is that once a user has registered. He then logs in. when he enters his username and password how do I code it so the database realises it's him/her and takes them to their LOGGED IN user
I'm dealing with a scenario where a legitimate user doesn't have a clue about his password, secret question or the answer. So, I was trying to create an admin tool that would help me in situations like these where the admin should be able to type in username and reset the password without having to know/enter answer to secret question. I understand that I need to make some changes to the web.config for this to work. I thought I made all the changes but my ResetPassword() requests are still not working.
Here's my web.config settings for the provider.

I want to put my website project and admin website under same project as I want to use session and authentication of the main site. Also I want to show the admin, the page, where he has made changes. But the problem is whenever I will change anything in admin pages, I've to build the entire website. I don't want to do that. Can I build that separately?
I don't want to choose the option of building all pages separately as well.
Is there any alternatives of doing that. Separate projects for admin and website will come up with many other challenges. So I would like to avoid that.
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this. Ok, I have a website in which the solution and webfiles are in Team Foundation Server's source control. My workspace is on my local PC. If I go to Website > ASP.NET Configuration to manage the site using the web admin tool I get an error message from the web admin tool:
"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."
Now, if I copy the exact site (just the website, but not the solution .sln file)to another location on my PC then choose open website in VS and fire up the web admin tool, it starts no problem.
I have no idea why this is happening and unfortunately the web admin tool doesn't give any other info other than that error message. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
next week i'll have to install the ASP.NET Website on a customer server on site. All server side requirements for hosting a ASP.NET website are met.
So how do i now create a installation / setup for the website to make sure that everything runs fine?
I think it's important to mention, that i'm using 3rd party compos (DevExpress).
For example where i have to install (path) the site?
i am using paypal in my web site. once the customer hits the submit button, they can be redirected to a customized page on my website that says "Thank you for your online payment".
i want to send a mail also to him by capturing his mail id.
Now i have a database table holds all info of my (customers) such as first last names and address phone number etc ... and i able to edit delete update their info from my side using the admin page that contians gridview i created. If several customers logged into their account pages, and each one wants to update his information,
How can i let the specific customer info be showin on his page for each customer? (I have one databse table and it contains a primery key column called "MemberID") how can i make the new subscribed user get his info that he did input or i would like to add to it, showin on his account page?
I'm pretty new in the world of ASP.Net, but not on developing in general. I created a webservice which read data from a SQl-database. This works fine. Now I want to create a customer website which uses the webservice to read those data. I need to do this periodically, say every 10 seconds.
The profiler on the database and debugging the website tells me that the values are read good, even is they are changed in de database. But, I need to display those values on a label, but this won't work, only with a meta-refresh every 10 seconds.Is there a way to use a timer and refreshes labels ?
I have an asp.net website for a car dealership. I wanted to create an admin site where personel from the dealership can add and delete cars to the site. how do I get started? what shall I read up on?

View 4 RepliesI am planning to develop around 4 product catalogue websites. The functionality of all the websites would be same. however the design, images and css would be different.
All the 4 websites will use the same admin panel, forums and database(MS Access) also.
How should I create such a system.
I dont understand what kind of folder structure should I create.
I would like to create following kind of folder structure.
(Root Folder)Admin Website ----> Website 1 (subfolder)
----> Website 2 (subfolder)
----> Website 3 (subfolder)
----> Website 4 (subfolder)
Root folder will have the database and all the common files.
Unfortunately, when I tried to create such structure, Dot Net Didnt allow me to create one website inside another
what kind of system should I use for maximum reusability.
I am a small time freelancer and cannot afford to build seperate websites for each of my client.
I am currently designing an ASP.Net web site where does not required any user login on the page. However, I do need to put an Admin page up along with this web page for my client use to manage the content on the page (e.g.: Change Pictures, Updating News). For security reason, I do not want to include a separate page sit reside in the site, so nobody can even try access to the page [URL]

View 4 RepliesI have a simple online store where there are products that can be put into a cart and purchased. There is a admin page that can be logged into so that new products can be added or existing products can be removed or edited. To get to the admin area I need to put a /admin/index after the main page loads up. If I want to give my friends (from any location) the ability to add new products should I create a link to the admin area on the main page (like at the bottom) of the main page or should I just tell them to type in /admin/index after they go to the webpage?

View 1 RepliesI'm not really sure where to start with this and therefore can't pick a more specific area to post. At first I though this might be something I would do in IIS7 but on reflection i think it needs to be at the application level. I am developing an application which will as part of it's function provide a unique website (custom CMS) to my customers. Each person who registers will have their own site accessible via a url such as [URL]. I need someway to take this and work out which customer it is and then load the rest of the pages with their content. So the site may have a home, about us and news pages for example and be themed to the customers requirements. Each of the pages will be the same aspx file and application for all customers but the content and style will be loaded from the database at runtime. I'd like for the duration of the visit for everything to appear as if from this subdirectory without actually creating them for each customer. so thy could visit [URL] but it actually loads [URL] and loads the content based on the customer site the visit is viewing.
I'm not really sure how to approach this. Maybe using a session value to store the customerid for the site the person is viewing which could be calculated from the URL on the first visit. I presume other people have done something simialr in the past. Where it gets more complex is if I then want to offer customers to have there own domain name pointed to the site. In that scenario they would have say [URL] which points to my server and bound to my application [URL]. All pages would have look as though they were on the customer website such as [URL] but still point to [URL] in the background and also somehow link to the customerid in the database to load the correct content.
I looked at Google's, but my boss shot it down because it involves adding a script to every page you want to track. I keep searching the web, but the stuff I am finding seems to be crap or not work all together. This is mainly for internal sites, not external. Seems liek a lot of the stuff I am finding want to give me remote statistics to a publically available site.
