Way To Migrate Website / Application From IE6 To IE7 / IE8
Oct 28, 2010
At the moment I have to migrate a web-application (ASP.NET 2.0 with Masterpages) from IE6 to IE7/IE8. Where can I find hints and guidelines for this topic? The webapplication looks fine in IE6 but completely awful in IE7 and IE8. In IE8 I cannot see the compatibility button.
I have inherited an ASP.net website that was originally started back in 2007. I believe that a lot of the codebase was written in version 1.1, patched to 2.0 where necessary. The client is still not happy with some features and has requested changes to be made. In "peeling back the onion skin" I found that the codebase is rather outdated. I have asked and received approval to upgrade the entire application (website plus VB library) to ASP.net 3.5. Besides following the standard help instructions in VS 2008 and the advise of other posters on this site, can anyone direct me to specific resources to utilize in reviewing the 1.1/2.0 codebase and selecting the best 3.5 constructs that are most compatible? Do you favor the approach of converting the codebase in VS 2008, or do you start with a clean slate and copy/paste code where necessary? The original codebase uses Anthem and Free Textbox libraries. Do you favor upgrading these libraries to 3.5 where available, or are there other (free) libraries that will do a better job?
we are migrating a website from a proprietary system a new system built inSQL 2008. about 6,000 pieces of content with individual hard-coded aliases. How could we go about creating a match table to ensure these resolve with our new system (based on Intellgentsia URL rewriter)?
main steps to consider while migrating 1.1 to 3.5 windows based applicatoin?
what are the steps need to consider at initially while planing for migration? as per i know this application i need to migrate like wsf and wpf and soon on.
Currently we are running an application build in VB6,ASP,Commerce Server2000 and Sql Server 2000. This application is running in Windows 2000 server.Now we are planning to migrate Windows server 2000 to Windows 2008.Will this application run in Windows 2008 or do we need to upgrade this application to dotnet and Sql 2008?
Currently, on our production IIS web farm, we host about 15 applications in a single App Pool (Default App Pool). There are two websites and about 13 virtual directories.A colleague has recommended that we change our IIS configuration so each application is a separate App Pool (with identical settings).
Is there any drawback or potential issues to doing this?Is it possible that ASP.NET applications could have been built with the requirements that they are all within the same App Pool?
I have an application which has a website and a project. The project contains an executable file which I'm trying to run as a process from the website's Global.asax file's application_start(). When I run this application from localhost, everything runs smoothly but when I deploy the application on IIS, application_start's code is executed and I can see the process name in the taskmanager but I cannot see the window which the console application normally starts in (when i run the application on localhost) and neither is the code executed.
Here's what I'm doing:
-- copied website and project in wwwroot -- made a virtual directory of the website -- when i run the website, I see the process in taskmanager but the code is not executed.
I am new to deployment and IIS, and would really appreciate I someone could tell me what i'm missing
I have an application which has been built in MVC 2.0. I need to upgrade it to MVC 3.0 and that too by using Razor CSHTML engine. All the information which I got on the net was for MVC 3.0 Webform engine but nothing much for migrating to Razor.
I have an ASP.NET project that also uses a SQL MDF File. My target server is SQL 2008R2 or SQL Azure.I would like to know what deployment options I have as I migrate from DEV to PROD. In case it matters I'm not under any regulation to maintain PII or similarly private data.
Before you start using VS2010 RC, knowing that the RC version was launched with a serious bug as reported on the link below.The bug is related to the use of controls within containers in an ASP.Net application, and like almost every ASP.Net application has any container, it is impossible to migrate an application VS 2008 to VS 2010.Before you start any work or migrate to the IDE of VS2010 RC, you know this bug.
I have an existing application that displays Google Analytics data. Currently, it stores the username and password which I do not like, so I wanted to convert it to use OAuth. I have isolated the authentication method to get the token in hopes that all I would have to do is change this method:
public static string getSessionTokenClientLogin(string email, string password) { //Google analytics requires certain variables to be POSTed string postData = "Email=" + email + "&Passwd=" + password; //defined - should not channge much
[Code]....
Is there an easy way to convert this to OAuth? I can change the parameters, but I am hoping I do not have to make architectural changes to the rest of my app.

I have an old mysql database, version - 3.23.38. I'd like to migrate from this database to ms sql express 2005. When reading through about MySQL Migration Toolkit, I found this fact - it is designed to work with MySQL versions 5.0 and higher. So, which toolkit could do for mysql version 3.23.38? Or let me know how to migrate it.
I've migrated two ASP.NET MVC 1 solutions to MVC 2 and therefore kept my web.config almost the same, just changed the necessary stuff in it as documented in Release notes.Although I created a few new test MVC 2 webapss from scratch, until now I haven't really checked out the default new web.config. As I created a new empty MVC 2 Web App today and opened the web.config, I discovered it's much smaller. There's almost no modules, no handlers, etc.

How do I migrate users from a existing users table to Forms Authentication?
There seems to be three options:
T-SQL - Iterate through the existing users table and insert into Forms Authentication tables using the stored procedure aspnet_Membership_CreateUser Code - create a utility that will iterate through the existing users table and insert into Forms Authentication tables using Membership.CreateUser() Code - as users login verify credentials against existing users table and insert into Forms Authentication tables using Membership.CreateUser()
Which is the most practical?
I have been currently trying option 1 but I am running into difficulties using the password salt to create the encrypted password from a plain text password
I tried copying the .aspx and .aspx.vb files from my existing VS 2008 web site directory into the VS 2010 project directory (which is how I converted projects from VS2005 to VS2008), but that doesn't seem to make the files appear in the project/solution in VS 2010.So, I've got this site I built in VS2008, and I want to start editing it in VS2010. What's the best way to do this?
