Is it possible to convert a Website project type to a Web application project type without starting over from scratch with a new solution? If so, how?
SOLUTION: There is apparently no one-click tool available to perform this conversion. So I just bit the bullet and sat down and created a new solution and built it up from scratch until it was a Web application project equivalent to my original Website project. It took me about four hours with no "gotchas" to solve that I might have run into had I adopted one of the partial solutions that are out there and actually referenced in one of the answers to my question.
I performed the conversion in the following steps, basically moving from the lowest level to the highest level, compiling at each step. This minimized compile errors due to undefined objects, although I couldn't entirely eliminate them because sometimes low level objects referenced high level objects (I know: bad design; but it isn't too egregious, and I had very few of these).
1. Created a new solution of type, Web application project.
2. I ported the .Web project first, which contains my WCF Web service.
3. Then I ported my utility classes in my Silverlight project.
4. I had my pages divided into categories that were more or less in a hierarchy, and I ported the lowest categories in the hierarchy first, and worked my way up. I had very few unresolved symbols doing it this way.
5. Finally, the few compile errors I had got resolved when I ported my MainPage, the last object to port.
Along the way of course I had to add a few references, but compile errors quickly notified me when I had to do this. The new solution now works exactly like the original.
Why did I do this in the first place? I did it because the Website project type requires you to put your .Web project source code up on your Website! This has things like my connection string (with password!) right out there in plain site for anybody to see, as well as proprietary algorithms generating and validating license keys.
Oh, I know: there's a precompilation tool called aspnet_compiler.exe that will compile this code for you and after that you can obfuscate it, but in Googling about it, it looks as if you have to jump through hoops to get it to work for you. There are also better approaches than putting your source code in a folder (App_Code) off the root of your Website, like putting it into a protected subdomain, but I'm really green at all this Web development stuff and I just want to get something out there I can test as quickly as possible. I'll perform these niceties at my leisure once everything is otherwise working.

Thanks for the links. I haven't had time to look at them yet, but they look exactly like what I need. BTW, I'm using VS2010.

For the record, I took a look at your first two links and they are for instructions if you're running VS2005, and one of them was for running a beta version of it! The menu system completely changed with VS2008, so maybe your third reference will be easier to follow. But even the first two links describe a brute force way of converting, basically starting over from scratch.
Well, I looked at the VS2008 link and it also is a brute force method. There apparently is no auto-conversion software to do this. I'm going to start over from scratch and completely rebuild my application from the ground up.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a web project which supports roles. This is the first time I'm working with roles so I took some help (reading a few books and articles) and it's working fine (locally). I uploaded the project to the remote server today. And, even though I don't have the aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion procedure on my local db, it does on remote server and throws this exception. I really don't know why, I made some googling and found out that I'm not the only one. But I couldn't find a solution.
By the way, in web.config, roleManager is set to enabled="false". I'm really lost here and I would really appreciate if anyone could at least give me a clue about why this happens.
Thanks.

You'll need to run aspnet_regsql to ensure the stored proc has been installed

The data is already downloaded, its on the client-side!

yes all data save in string strCSV

You obviously missed the point. You can't download it because it is already downloaded. Where do you think client-side code and data is stored?
Must AV software and browsers will not allow you to create a file on the clients system without a specific action and permission. Your best bet would be to create a link that when clicked will download this file from the server. Which, since it has to be spelled out for you, means it is unnecessary to create the data on the client.

I have (and use) an ASMX web service in my solution.
Obviously, the web service will live somewhere else once it's deployed. How do I make my app work both locally (using the web service in the solution), but at the same time work with the same web service in its deployed location?
EDIT ====================
It looks like I can create the connection programatically, but I'm not sure of the process. I'm still googling and checking back here periodically to see if anyone can provide asome example code.
EDIT ====================
Okay, I did this, and it doesn't choke on it, but I get no response when I try to hit the methods in the remotely deployed service:
private const string ProductionUrl = "http://server1/folder1/MyService/MyService1.asmx";
private const string DevelopmentUrl = "http://server2/folder1/MyService/MyService1.asmx";
private const string LocalHostUrl = "http://localhost:55179/MyService1.asmx";
switch (Application.Current.Host.Source.Host.ToLower())
{
case "server1" : CurrentUrl = ProductionUrl; break;
case "server2" : CurrentUrl = DevelopmentUrl; break;
default : CurrentUrl = LocalHostUrl; break;
}
CurrentUrl = DevelopmentUrl;
service = new ProjNamespace.Service1Reference.Service1SoapClient("Service1Soap", CurrentUrl);
service.GetServiceVersionCompleted += new EventHandler<ProjNamespace.Service1Reference.GetServiceVersionCompletedEventArgs>
(service_GetServiceVersionCompleted);
service.GetServiceVersionAsync();

No, it didn't help. First it was in VB, and secode it was formatted poorly, and third, it seemed to be all about ajax, but since I was gettng a headache for the piss-poor colors on the page, I didn't really stick around long enough to read it thoroughly.

Well, I didnt meant to be rude.
If you add your web service you will find an appsettings key in your config file. The reference files like disco, reference etc may point anywhere, might be your local web service, because they are totally used to update the Class that it creates automatically to fetch SOAP requests and responses.
When you deploy and want to use the Webservice in the server, just open your configuration file and change the link in appsettings.
The key might differ if you use VS 2008, as in VS 2008 and above, everything will be treated as an Endpoint, but you will definitely find one link there too.
I hope this helps you. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

If this is WCF client for an asmx webservice the url will be stored in the 'system.serviceModel' configuration section. Despite what MSDN/documentation says the child elements support 'configSource' so you can specify an environment specific external configuration file for each environment.
You shouldn't need to hardcode any url's into your application.

This isn't a WCF client.

Ok, you can use the same general approach but store the service location in a config file and dynamically assign it at runtime, an example is here (it's in VB but you'll get the gist):

I am using ASP.Net with C#, framework 3.5.
I am working on a page that uses a "Next" button on a master page to inititate a server side click event to do some processing using a session object, and then a Server.Transfer to the next page. The same Master page "Next" button handles all the pages in the app. At some point I am sure that I will need to inroduce a client side click event to do client side validation on one of the pages. What is the best way to do the client side validation and still utilize the server side click event code I already wrote? Or should I abandon my server side click event code and just do everything on the client side?

Better if you use ASP.NET validators.Have different validation for different page and have a javascript function,pass it with and the validation group and validate the it using page_clientvalidate('groupname') and return false if it fails then your server side event would not fire else return true.It'll continue to postback.
For more info about asp.net validators have a look to one of my article Exploring ASP.NET Validators

I agree with Brji...
But there may be another way.
I try to stay away from client side JavaScript. It's too hard to debug and test. But you could always have the "Next" button postback and make a decision to continue (Response.Redirect(whatever.aspx) or to not continue based on the entered information. I do it quite frequently, but I come from a WinForms background where I'm used to having fine control over the actions of the user. I think anytime you rely on JavaScript, you will get burned in the long run with compatibility issues anyway.
