Re: using iis in vs 2010 - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

XML

Between your two scripts that you supplied, you are saying the following:
1. To get started, I will not be using IIS to test the web application. I will be using the default web server in visual studio 2010 called cassini. Here is where I obtained the opinion from:
From the "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa983445.aspx" url, I found that you recommend the settings whould be set to the following:
a. <UseIIS>False</UseIIS>Use Local IIS Web server -Specifies that Visual Studio will test your application on the local IIS or IIS Express Web server instead of the Visual Studio Development Server. 
b. <AutoAssignPort>True</AutoAssignPort>Specifies that Visual Studio should select a random HTTP port on the development computer to send requests to. This HTTP port is used to test the Web application project by using the built-in Visual Studio Development Server.
c. <DevelopmentServerVPath>/</DevelopmentServerVPath>- I am using the default development server path.
2. I will go to the control panel-->add/remove programs and then delete IIS that was installed by the network administator.
3. I will then go to the general windows program and type in the command scipt you gave me. This will properly install iis 7/6 to work with my visual studio.
From the above, after I run the PkgMgr.exe, my visual studio.net will be tied into iis.
From what I can gather, I will be still running my visual studio 2010 with the default web server cassini. However when I want to actually connect my visual studio.net 2010 to working with IIs, I will need to change my settings to the following:
<UseIIS>True</UseIIS>
 <AutoAssignPort>False</AutoAssignPort>
 <DevelopmentServerPort>2256</DevelopmentServerPort>
 <DevelopmentServerVPath>/SUPPORT</DevelopmentServerVPath>
 <IISUrl>http://localhost:8080/support</IISUrl>

When I can ready to deploy the application to production, I will need to do the comments you made below:
As far as programming IIS7 server, set the root path to the folder you put the project in in Default Web Site. Then on the far right, set the bindings to port 80, click on Default Documents, and enter the default document name, usually Default.aspx

I've never used Cassini, but I took the time just now to learn what it is. Visual Studio comes with WebDev, a small compact program that will execute your asp.net project, and allow you to step or walk through code called debugging.

You have to be able to walk through code in order to fix your mistakes.

Cassini is small web server that a developer can include in there distribution royalty free, and allows for easy setup on a work station. Cassini is unsafe for production use, and is easy to hack.

The purpose of setting up IIS7 on your development computer, is so you can test your html markup in other browsers, to make sure your website project looks and feels the same across all platforms.

Thanks for all your help!

The *csproj that you gave me yesterday, makes me think I am using cassini. I do not see how I am using IIS. The option to use IIS is set to false\ in the *csproj file.

Thus can you tell me how and/or show me a url that explains how my visual studio.net is connected to and using iis?

Is the connection for Visual studio to use IIS in the script that you gave me to rebuild IIS? If so, can you tell me how this connection is setup?

There is no relationship between IIS Server and Visual Studio, they are 2 different programs.

Visual Studio is how you create web applications, and test them to make sure they work. You test them in the WebDev, F5 Run in Visual Studio

IIS Server is just a web server program on your computer if your running Windows XP Professional, Vista Business +, then you can use that to host the web application that you made. You use the IIS Web Server on your computer to test your web app with Internet Explorer 8 and 9, Sarfari and Firefox, to make sure they look the same in each browser.

You cannot debug or step through code with IIS Web Server. The WebDev is Visual Studio is for Stepping through code.

Forget about the Cassini, it's confusing you. But if you were running Windows XP Home Edition, or Vista Basic, then you would need Cassini to host your web application, because you need a web server for asp.net for final testing.

I have no clue why your previous developer setup his development computer in such a manner, unless he/she is trying to make the project much more complex than it needs to be, or does not want you to succeed.

1. Write and test your program in Visual Studio, or notepad if your really good.

2. Run the entire program in IIS Server on your computer on several browsers, and run a visual test with your eyes, check for spacing errors, or things not lining up right. Check and make sure your color pallet is pleasing, if your fonts are too large or small. It's a good quick way to run many test without having to leave your desk.

This is the script to properly install IIS7 Server for asp.net
Copy and paste it into your cmd window, may take 20 minutes to run, oh, uninstall IIS 7 server first, add/remove programs, windows components, uncheck IIS Server, and all it's child selections.

cmd.exe /c Start /w PkgMgr.exe /iu:IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-DefaultDocument;

If you need to intialize the Global Assembly Cache because you got the Server Error 500 GAC page in white with large red letters

aspnet_regiis.exe -ga aspnet

If you need to intialize scripts

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

As far as programming IIS7 server, set the root path to the folder you put the project in in Default Web Site. Then on the far right, set the bindings to port 80, click on Default Documents, and enter the default document name, usually Default.aspx

That's the best I can do from a post, hope that helps you move forward

I have NOT solved the problem. I just clicked OK since I wanted to ask the question a different. If you look at my other open thread in asp.net, you will me original questions stated another way.

In your response to your good suggestion you had earlier, I did ask the network administrator to open port 8080. The network administrator says symantec requires port 8080 to be open for everyone at my company. Is there a way to check if port 8080 is open on my workstation? if so, how do you accomplish that task.

The network administrator has installed IIS on my computer, but has not configured it to work with the visual studio.net 2010 on my workstation.

The network administrator told me that he did the following for me also Since the following occurs for production: Perform a default installation of the IIS Role Services with the additional inclusion of the entire “IIS 6 Management Compatibility” pack. The entire list of check boxes should include items like Static Content, Default Document, Directory Browsing, IIS Management Console, IIS 6 Management Compatibility, IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility, IIS 6 WMI Compatibility, IIS 6 Scripting Tools, and the IIS 6 Management Console.

Would I need to do something like the following since this occurs for the production website:
• Once the installation has completed, in the Start Menu right-click the “Command Prompt” shortcut and select “Run as Administrator”. In the command prompt window browse to the “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.x.xxx” directory.
• Run the following command:
aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Would I need to change the option for aspnet_regiis.exe?

Also for your information in production the network administrator does the following however I do noth think it applies to me. If it does, can you tell me what I should change for my own installation:
7) Expand the “<webservername>” object in the tree found in the left pane. Under “Sites” remove the “Default Web Site”, and then under “Application Pools” remove the “DefaultAppPool” and “Classic .NET AppPool” application pools.
8) Create a new application pool. Name this pool Support and set it to use the “.NET Framework v2.x.xxxx” and the “Integrated” managed pipeline mode. Make sure “Start application pool immediately” is checked and click the “Ok” button.

Hi,

You are absolutely right dudee.....

Can you tell me if the following is correct?

i need to develop a remote desktop application for accessing machines through internet.please suggest ur ideas...

My ideas...
Hiring a team of really good developers. Get a few million dollars in funding. And schedule a release in about a year.

Failure is not an option; it's the default selection.

Don't reinvent the wheel. Just use an existing product.
A good free one is UltraVNC[^]

I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Want to resize image on client side before uploading on server in asp.net c#...

Do you mean you want to allow the user to crop the image, or do you mean that they should be able to change the physical size of the image? The two are different, and how you would solve them are different too.

You normally would not do this. There are 3rd party tools that can do this but they will be server side. You want the file on your server to then do processing on it.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

For this you can use the tool from Ajax Control Tookit as Resizeable Control...

how to write a code in asp.net
1. editable button to goes on to update button create after the click

Please read a book on ASP.Net. Also, please ask a clear question.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

clicking a button will take you to button cclick event. you surely need to study asp.net beginner books.

how convert some algorithm to c#..
please give me some relevant links.some direction to achieve this goal.

Algorithms are just general guides,or set of steps for solving a particular problem.It is difficult to convert in code by software.
If any software convert algo to code then it requires some own syntax to define algorith then it will converts intio code.

You will have to re-write the code in C#. Please ask a specific question if you get stuck on a particular line of code.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

can any one provide me code for videos slide show

This is not a clear question so please search for 3rd party tools or if you are using ASP.Net search for jQuery tools.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I have some charts taking a long time to load (up to 15 seconds). I would like to calculate the time to load if possible.

I already have a feedback to the user using javascript and ajax extensions, but I cannot find any kind of "feedback" from the chart control so that I can display a "6 seconds to finish".

Is there any way to calculate/estimate this?
