Visual Studio - Using ClickOnce (or Similar) For Application
Sep 2, 2010
I'm looking for a way to providing users (administrators) of a web application to automatically (meaning it's opt-in to update, but the installation should be automatic when started) update said web application when new versions are released.
The reason why I want an automatic approach is that I want the users to be able to update the web application while it's running remotely, without having to gain physical access to the machine (including RDP).
I could of course write my own code for this, but I would prefer to use something like ClickOnce that has been around for a while. Is it possible to use ClickOnce for this?
Or is there an alternative for ASP.NET applications that I have not been able to find?
It is important that it's the user that does the update and not me, so I don't think WebDeployment is the way to go, but I'm willing to listen to scenarios where this would work.
The users are not system administrators, so I want this to be as fool proof as possible.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010, ASP.NET 2.0 (.NET 3.5). If a solution requires switching to version 4, this is possible, but not preferred.

A few years ago, I built a desktop application for a client in VS 2005 that was deployed using Click Once. Recently, the client asked me to make a simple modification to the site.
I no longer had VS 2005 (or the same machine for that matter) and was forced to upgrade the application to Visual Studio 2008.
Most of the application is fine in VS 2008 - however I am unable to Publish the application. During the project conversion process and whenever I try to publish the application, I receive a message like this:
"This project includes a password-encrypted key used for signing. Enter the password for the key file to import the key file into the local crypto-store database for use."
Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what the password would be for this application.What options do I have? Is there a way to get this working again without having to rebuild the application or have all of the users uninstall the application and reinstall it?

I have an application that I'm deploying via the Publish Wizard from Visual Studio 2008. I've added some code to my application that adds a few registry keys. I'd like to execute some code during the uninstall process to remove these registry keys.

I was recently told by a colleague that VS 2010 has inbuilt features similar to Resharper (e.g. Ctrl T to find a class etc...). I have been experimenting with VS 2010 Ultimate edition but cannot seem to find these features.If the features exist could somebody point me in the right direction?

I am using the AjaxControlToolkit 3.0.30930 (the most recent). I have a very simple page with an UpdatePanel. A button on the UpdatePanel invokes Response.Redirect and passes the URL of a Click Once application on the same server. This works well if I run the website on my local system (Windows 7, IIS 7.5).
If I run the website on a remote system (Windows Server 2008, IIS 7.5, same settings) the redirect simply does not work when invoking the page from remote (using the IP address). Instead a postback is executed. Even if I use the IP address of the webserver to invoke the website locally on the webserver, the redirect does not work. Using http://localhost on the webserver the redirect works well.
I tried another test page with no UpdatePanel: The redirect works well in all scenarios.
I tried out to invoke the ClickOnce application using a link instead of Response.Redirect: The redirect works well in all scenarios, even with an UpdatePanel.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="TestWithUpdatePanel.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestWithUpdatePanel" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
[Code]....
Even if setting EnablePartialRendering to false, the redirect works. This is a big clue, that the UpdatePanel causes the problem.

I'm trying to publish my ASP.NET web application in Visual Studio 2010. I'm then trying to install it as a website on a server using IIS. I've gotten my application to publish (to a .zip file) but it points to the physical directory on my hard drive. This obviously will not work on the server.

I am getting the above error whenever I attempt to run an application from the IDE. Any application. I have literally created a new asp.net "Hello World" app with absolutely nothing other than the aspx page, no code in the code-behind, and the only change to the web.config to enable debugging. The app errs immediately. Nothing is written to the event log.
The error is unique to asp.net, Visual Studio 2008, and has only recently started. I can run asp.net apps in VS 2005, and windows apps in 2008.The only thing I'm sure that I've done recently is installed SP1 for .net framework 3.5.

I already have a web application running successfully develeoped using Classic ASP by the previous web pregrammer. Since I'm not familiar with Classic ASP, I tried running the source code in Visual Studio ASP.NET. However, I'm unable to run it (expliciltely denied). May I know whether there are special things to note when opeing and running a web application developed in Classic ASP in ASP.NET? The previous web application is connected to the school server, but I'm using my laptop's local host to run the application. Is that why I can't run the application? What are the steps needed to connect my ASP.NET application with the server.

I'm about to start a new module in my existing web application project (already completed 3 modules), due to more data entry and volume of data handling my PM informed me to go this module on windows application (vb.net), but i'm requesting him to go with web application since i'm much familiar in web applcation and all my completed module on web.
But he is thinking on performance part too, if i get some idea / suggestion on the same so that i can clear and i will go with either option.
The module is Service Billing with LPO Control, Billing, Proforma, eBilling, eApproval, online billing etc.

The default ASP.NET web server that launches from within Visual Studio (Casini) is a little buggy on my development machine, so I like to publish to a local IIS instance on my dev machine and look at the web application there. However, I'm not automatically in "Debug Mode" when I launch the application this way.
I know that VS 2010 has an "Attach to Process" debug feature, but I'm not sure exactly how to use it. What do I need to do to be able to debug a local IIS ASP.NET web application from within Visual Studio? Specifically:
What settings do I need to change in the configuration of my web application?
What "Package/Publish Settings" do I need to change?
Is there anything I need to change in IIS?
Is there anything special I need to do in the "Attach to Process" screen?
Background Information: I'm running Visual Studio 2010 on Windows XP SP3 with IIS 5.1 and .NET 4.0.
Additional Information:
I should add that I've tried attaching to aspnet_wp.exe, but when I go to a page that I know has a breakpoint in it, I get the following message when I hover over the "open circle" breakpoint:
The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.

I have a web application project that I have been working on for a long time now (about 7-8 months of work). I have been recently asked to convert it to web site project as boss wants the pages to be able to be updated independently instead of re-submitting the DLLs in BIN folder every time.
Is there a conventional step-by-step procedure to follow in order to do such conversion? Or create a web site project, copy all files, and hope that you will get less than 1000 errors?
