I am new to asp.net.I want to know names of web servers used for deploying web applications in asp.net .some widely used web servers for making asp.net web sites.
View 3 RepliesOur corporate intranet is designed so that each web application is a child application in the primary application.. Everything has worked fine with Visual Studio 2008 and even in 2010 running the website locally works great, the output directory for the child apps is ..in and the ProjectName.dll copies to that directory.. When I do a publish however it does not and I have to manually copy the dll from the bin folder in the project folder to the parent bin folder, this isn't hard of course but more of a pain in the butt each time I need to publish something. I made sure the output directory is correct for both debug and release yet on publish is just copies it to the child bin and not the parent bin as needed.
View 2 RepliesWe have been a ColdFusion shop for 10 years, and are now switching over to ASP.net MVC. Our target framework is .net 4.0 BETA 2 using VS 2010 BETA 2. We set up two instances of Windows Server 2008 (staging and production), and will be using our existing database server (SQL Server 2008).
None of us really have much experience in ASP.net itself, though we are all very comfortable in C# and the MVC pattern. The coding itself isn't much of an issue; but the deployment process is. Our goal is to be able to have a CI setup that will automatically pull down, and test, our applications into staging on commit - then have the option to tag, then switch, the checkouts on our production sites when websites pass QA.
Some of the things I'm having issues with here is the concept of an ASP.net application and how it integrates into SVN. CF, like PHP or RoR, are all scripting languages and as such require no build process (checking out the source into production is very straightforward). But in this case, applications need to be compiled - which is where we start to have problems. Will we need to create another server (or use an existing one) that has some sort of application that pulls down code, compiles it, then somehow pushes it on the live servers? If so, what is considered the best way to accomplish this? I imagine if we end up using a build tool such as Nant, adding additional steps to migrate the database would be trivial, but what is the best way to accomplish this as well?
Another, slightly unrelated, problem is how our designers will work with our code. Most of them are on Macs, and using VS isn't much of an option. How will they be able to edit the aspx, css and image files easily? Our goal is to make this as transparent as possible to them.
We have done a lot of shopping around, and ASP.net MVC seems to be the best option as far as our familiarity with the language, and our current platform. We just need to figure out a good build process so everything is as transparent as possible.
how to structure our intranet. The way it's going right now is, that I'll create a web application that usually contains just a single web page and then deploy it. I'm using the file system deployment to deploy to a test server.
The file structure on this test server is something like "\serverwebintranetwebapplicationsAPP_NAME". I would create a folder on the server with whatever name to replace "APP_NAME" and then deploy into that folder. Everything deploys fine and is structured fine, none of the pages will load.
When try to load the page you get an error like: Could not load type 'WebInterface._Default'. The dll containing that code is definitely there. Inside the "APP_NAME" folder is the bin folder, config file, and the (usually) single aspx page. So for some reason, the web page can't find the dll files.
I'll soon be managing a fleet of ASP.NET webservers...
What are the technical limitations with deploying an ASP.NET webserver? Can I just copy the file(s) over, restart the website, and I'm good to go?
Is this any different than what VS2010's "deploy" does?
Does it matter what "type" of project I have: a Web Site or a Web Application?
getting a new laptop at work and I'm curious what, if any, issues I'm going to encounter when I move from my 32bit laptop to my 64bit laptop running Win7 64bit and VS 2008/2010 64bit.Many of the applications (web and windows) that I maintain are 32bit and are installed on 32bit servers
View 2 RepliesI am trying to set up my web site on a stand alone server using Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 which will access SQL server database (2008) on windows 2008 R2 server (also not in the domain) I am using form authentication and I have configured a custom identity account in IIS6. The local account is on both servers with same password and I have registered the account using aspnet_regiis.exe -ga The application pool in my iis6 has the custom local account set as the identity and my web.config file has the appropriate tags in the system.web element <identity impersonate="true" />
The problem is the local account does not seem to get passed to the sql server. Right now my iis settings are anonymous access (using the local acct vs isr) and no authentication specified under that - I did try Integrated and basic but it prompts for the username and password which I do not want. One article I read stated this: windows authentication does not support delegation (passing credentials from one server to another) and is limited to the one hop rule, only a primary token can be passed to a second server. windows
authentication on iis (all versions) gives the thread a secondary(impersonation) token which can not be used to access any network resouce
I have been working with this database for some time. Here is the situation...
I inherited a MS SQL database that has hundreds of tables with similar data. For instance:
FordTampa_customer is a table,
ChevyAtlanta_customer is a table, etc....
All of the columns are the same...just different tables with their own ID field. All I have done...Inside of another database id is created a table called 'Customer' and added an 'Dealer ID' column along with the rest of the other columns in the other tables...
So the combination of the 'Dealer ID' and the 'ID' field are unique.....I know...its not the best way to do things...but I cannot change the old data structure because I cannot have access to it. I am give back-ups on a weekly basis, so this is all I have to work with.
All right, on to the real point of my post...
Currently, I have an application that I use to select all of the data from the 'Ford_customers','Chevy_customers',etc... and inserts them into my new main 'Customer' table. I do this by selecting the table names, bind it to an arraylist, loop through the list and execute an insert statement.
I do this in VB.NET, but I would prefer to do it in a Stored procedure of some kind....I just am not sure how to accomplish it. I use this syntax to get my list of tables:
[Code]....
I am not sure how to take those names from the table and do another select based on that list of names.
I am using XAMPP to publish my a .net application. The server is working fine. I created a sample login.aspx file, and it works fine. I deleted the sample login file, and I build and copy all the files to the XAMPP directory. When I tried to acces the page, it gave an error message "Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, contact the
View 8 RepliesI've been worked with web services so far, and I'm interested in expanding my services to console applications as well so I started digging up with WCF but I'm conserned that I won't be able to use the HttpContext collection that I've been used to do with web services one important thing which is to generate a random value from HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["ALL_HTTP"] that I need to reckon if it's the same or at least near what machine that is calling my service. How can I overcome this problem?
I need to know what machine is calling to count the number of attempts to login into my system for example. So must do it inside of the svc code otherwise if I let the client inform what ip address or what computer he is using, anyone could forge this argument and surpass by another machine. May be I'm approaching this matter wrongly. And I should count the number of attempts per state session, but how is it done?
I'm planning on making a website and host it on my dedicated server.but I would also like the website to be available when the dedicated server (from here on revered to as server) is offline for what reason that maybe.How would I go about doing this? the server would get the domain name from my webserver. I already set up the DNS's to do so, but incase the server cannot be contacted I would like the webserver to take over or something?
View 10 RepliesAre there any free build servers for .NET applications? We are starting project as remotely working team and right now we are searching for such solution. As far as it's an academic project we do not have funds to buy server and run CC.net on it.. Are there any charge free solutions? Or at least cheap ones.I'm asking rather about the service on the internet, not software solution

without using a database i wanted a file to point to the newest revision of a file. Someone suggested using a shortcut. Knowing i can rewrite file.ext to file.ext.lnk i thought it was a great idea. Then i tried it, my server (VS 2010rc) serves the shortcut rather then the file. Not what i wanted...How do i serve the file the shortcut is pointing to? NOTE: I am planing to use windows 2008 as my server so a solution should work on that as well. The OS i am running is windows 7.
View 4 RepliesMy goal is to generate emails inside of my Asp/VB.net program. After following instructions very carefully using http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/072606-1.aspx some stackoverflow users helped me modify my class object on the asp.net page. We also revised my host/port settings in the web.config file. I still throw an exception when I try to send email which says 'Unable to connect to remote server.' After talking to the godaddy.com tech support they said I need to use the incomming server pop.secureserver.net and the outgoing server smtpout.secureserver.net. He had no further clarification. My question is, how do I set up the incomming and outgoing servers?
View 1 RepliesI see a ton of questions about uploading multiple files, but none about uploading a single file to multiple servers, so here goes... I have an ASP.NET app that will be running on two load balanced servers, and I would like to allow users to upload files and have them end up on both servers. What is the cleanest way to do this? I am using IIS 6 btw. Some ideas that come to mind are:
1) Use a virtual directory that points to some shared location that both servers can access. Will there be any access issues if the application runs at Network Service? I'm assuming the application will need to run as a user account that exists on the shared location machine. How should the permissions be set for this?
2) It would be nice if I could via jQuery post the request to both of my servers, referencing them by their port numbers. Even though the servers are on the same domain, this violates the same origin policy, right? Is there another solution I'm overlooking? How do other sites do this?
I am developing a web application and need to continue development while travelling. I have SQL Server express installed on my desktop and my laptop but (obviously) the server names differ on each machine. eg "MydesktopSQLSERVEREXPRESS" and "MyLaptopSQLSERVEREXPRESS".
Anyone know of a way I can use a generic connection string or something so I can simply transfer the solution file from my desktop to my laptop and continue development on the road?
I have a web application that will be distributed over 2 servers and the Database will be on a server other than the 2 servers. so application on each server will access database exists in another server.I am using caching in the application and when data changed the cache is cleared and the problem now how each server will feel with cache changes on the other server?
I have tried SQLCache dependency before and i have heard about Memcached, Velocity and Enterprise cache so which one will be more efficient and optimal for this case? and i have another solution to create webservice method on each application and when the cache is cleared in one application it will request the webservice method on the other application to clear cache there.
Which technique is more efficient and optimal in performance and security? and is SQLCache dependency related to SQL database only or can be applicable to other databases like Oracle?
Note: I am using load balancer to distribute requests coming for the application among the 2 server
I have an ASP.NET website which is running currently on IIS. Now I want to move that site to run on Cassini.
What are the advantages of Cassini over IIS? What are its disadvantages?
What are your experiences using Cassini as a production web-server?
i have searched quite a bit on this one and can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for.
I think my first problem is this: How would I bring back a DataTable FOR copying? I know I would need:
Dim dt as Datatable
But then how do I get the Original Datatable in there? I think that once I have that part, I can just make a connection to my new DB inside a copy subroutine (using the .Copy method) and be done with it. That part I have the code pretty much done for, I think.
How can I access remote server's details like RAM details, CPU details etc with a ASP.NET application. I used System.Management class and wmi but the application runs too slow. Is there any another way to do this which is fast and efficient.
View 4 RepliesIf same web application is deployed on three different servers, which things we need to take care of and what things should be common amonges all three?
View 3 RepliesWe have following issue. In our environment our application works well, but in clients host - bad. The first problem was that if css's href specified as href="css/res.css" in case of url http://oursite.com/blog/10/2010 it tries to load it from the path http://oursite.com/blog/10/2010/css/res.css. In our environment it loads it from http://oursite.com/css/res.css. So we fixed this problem by replacing href="css/res.css" to href="/css/res.css" (added slash). It worked.
Second problem: we integrated in our site as part of app BlogEngine 1.4.5. It is placed in subfolder in app's directory called "Blog". When admin tries to delete post, BlogEngine tries to redirect to some non existing page with specified name (which is title of the post) with query string "deletePost=postId". In our environment it works as expected, but in clients - it doesn't work. My browser follows this link and I see home page of my site (which is default.aspx from the root).

We are using Two servers for our application managed by a load balancer. One of which server contains Windows server 2003 & other one contains Windows server 2008. When a request is served by windows 2003 server and its subsequent goes to the other one (2008 server). Users gets log out. Are we need same Operating systems on both systems because( when request served by 2008, and subsequent on 2003 is served without any issue).
