web components dissappearing

I have run into a problem where I work with a Web Form for a while and get it almost good to go only to find during a test that something has gone wrong (via an exception displayed in the browser). I return to the IDE and find that the web components have been removed from my form. Do you know what causes this problems and how I can avoid it? This has happened a few times and I am force to recreate my form. This only effects my presentation. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,I've seen some strange behaviour, but this isn't one of them.

web conferencing application

I would like to build a web conferencing application but need a place to start. If anyone has any links for some documentation, please let me know. Thanks!

You really cant accomplish this under the standard ASP.NET model. ASP.NET is connectionless (actually most things that run through the browser are) -

An avenue I've explorered for getting this done at one point was Flash. It has built in features for streaming, persistant connections, video, and full motion...etc.

Another way would be to tie into the WMP codec's and write a server side listening service, and an ActiveX control that could get this done.

Probably the way I'd get started would be to work on getting chat / video input from a single user and updating a server in realtime, then find a way to make that information available to a distributed system somehow that you could invite other users into.

I was thinking somehow I could tie into RDP that would update a web service with AJAX.. I have already developed the chat feature using AJAX. Its not perfect but works with multiple users.

presenter logs into website and installs activeX control for RDP. The webpage feeds video through RDP to the webservice that feeds the other clients

The only problem is the documentation that I have found so far is very limited. Do you think this is possible?

Web Config

Is there a way to write to the web.config file during the execution of the
application?Hi Claudio

The web.config file is a standard XML file so you should be able to
write to it by accessing it using the classes of the System.Xml
namespace. However, AFAIK none of the built-in configuration classes
provide you with direct write-access to the application configuration file.

I'd rather recommend you to store settings that need read/write access
in a dedicated configuration file. A simple library that I've written
ages ago (and still using in all my projects) can be found here
(contains the source plus a sample project):

It's possible.
I wrote an example to modify the list of users that are allowed access:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/members.asp

But don't forget that any change to web.config causes the
web application to restart. All users lose their session state.

My guess is that since System.Web.dll is located in the GAC (global assembly
cache) it requires the full assembly name which might be:
System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler,System.Web,Version=1.0.3705.0,Culture=neutral
,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
However, I don't think there's any need to map those extensions to it
anymore..I think as of 1.0 those extensions are automatically mapped...could
be wrong about all of this though.

Could it be because all of those handlers
are already configured in machine.config as
System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler
( not as System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler... )

web config

Hi,
I'm trying to setup the Web Config file so that the connection string is
read from it but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The error I get is:
The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.
I also tried to create a virtual path but that didn't work.
My application is at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web This is where the web.config
file is and it contains the following:
<appSettings>
<add key="connectionstring" value="server=(local)
;trusted_connection=true;database=xxx"/>
</appSettings>
The aspx file contains:
<%@dotnet.itags.org. Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Function GetData() As System.Data.IDataReader
Dim connectionString As String
connectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
("ConnectionString")
Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT [tblLink].[quote], [tbllink]
.[linkURL"& _
"] FROM [tblink]"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
dbConnection.Open

dbCommand.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
Return dataReader

Joe,
why are you using Data Provider syntax
for a simple data connection ?
System.Data.IDataReader, System.Data.IDbConnection,
and System.Data.IDbConnection all are used when
implementing your own Data Provider.
Please review
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...connections.asp
to see the info you need to implement a data connection
using any of the Data Providers built into .NET.

Hi,
I think what's happening is that it's not seeing the web.config file since
I tried removing it and got the same error message.
I have the application at: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/web
The web.config file is in this directory and so is the aspx file that I am
testing. I created a virtual directory to this.
Am I missing anything in making this my application root?
Thanks again

Thanks for all the help. I got it working. It was the case-sensitivity
issue. Also thanks for the advice on the data provider.

Hello Juan,
I disagree with this statement. While these interfaces can be used when impl
ementing
your own data provider, they provide a very nice abstraction layer.
Let's say that I want to interact with either an Oracle or an MSSQL database
in my application, depending on my client's requirements. The quickest/easie
st
way to accomplish this is to return an IDbConnection or IDataReader out of
my class's methods. The calling code has no idea about the underlying datast
ore
and new databases can be added by simply adding a new class.
Very good design...

In general, yes, but the added level of complexity
may cause troubleshooting problems which don't
crop up with the simpler data connection methods.

Could it be because all of those handlers
are already configured in machine.config as
System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler
( not as System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler... )

web config

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the Web Config file so that the connection string is
read from it but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The error I get is:
The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.
I also tried to create a virtual path but that didn't work.
My application is at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web This is where the web.config
file is and it contains the following:

<appSettings>
<add key="connectionstring" value="server=(local)
;trusted_connection=true;database=xxx"/>
</appSettings
The aspx file contains:

<%@dotnet.itags.org. Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Function GetData() As System.Data.IDataReader
Dim connectionString As String
connectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
("ConnectionString")

Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionStri ng)

Dim queryString As String = "SELECT [tblLink].[quote], [tbllink]
..[linkURL"& _
"] FROM [tblink]"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection

dbConnection.Open
Dim dataReader As System.Data.IDataReader =
dbCommand.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavio r.CloseConnection)

Return dataReader
End Function

Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Page.Databind()
End Sub

</script
Thanks

Joe,

why are you using Data Provider syntax
for a simple data connection ?

System.Data.IDataReader, System.Data.IDbConnection,
and System.Data.IDbConnection all are used when
implementing your own Data Provider.

Please review
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...connections.asp
to see the info you need to implement a data connection
using any of the Data Providers built into .NET.

Hi,

I think what's happening is that it's not seeing the web.config file since
I tried removing it and got the same error message.

I have the application at: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/web
The web.config file is in this directory and so is the aspx file that I am
testing. I created a virtual directory to this.

Am I missing anything in making this my application root?

Thanks again

Thanks for all the help. I got it working. It was the case-sensitivity
issue. Also thanks for the advice on the data provider.

Hello Juan,

I disagree with this statement. While these interfaces can be used when implementing
your own data provider, they provide a very nice abstraction layer.

Let's say that I want to interact with either an Oracle or an MSSQL database
in my application, depending on my client's requirements. The quickest/easiest
way to accomplish this is to return an IDbConnection or IDataReader out of
my class's methods. The calling code has no idea about the underlying datastore
and new databases can be added by simply adding a new class.

Very good design...

In general, yes, but the added level of complexity
may cause troubleshooting problems which don't
crop up with the simpler data connection methods.

Glad you got this solved. From first look, I thought you didn't import the
System.Configuration Namespace. I didn't see it anywere in your code. The
fully namespace with class name is
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings. But, look like this
wasn't it. Just wanted to give others a heads up on this. People sometimes
forget this when not using VS.NET to compile their code.

Web Config ?

Hi there,
I'm using VWD 2005 express, win xp pro sp2
I created a website with login.aspx page (not from the template)
Integrated with Access database, Also I modify the web.config file
everything work fine I put response.redirect to the log in with user session
like I said everything work fine
Now I also have Microsoft Visio htm file on my website with hyper link to
the default.aspx page
Every time when I click from Visio file to the main page the login.aspx poup
It's not happend from the others *-.aspx pages
How do I setup a filter in web.config that will exclude these pages
(Visio.htm)
Thanks,
Oded DrorHey Oded,
You need to create a separate <location> section where you can allow
anonymous users:
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
<location path="Visio.htm">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>

Web Config : why no pop windows

I am building a web application using VS 2005 , .net 2.0 framework..

Why I am not seeing any pop up windows from where I can pick the options. All I am seeing is !-- , ![CDATA , ?

Anyone knows why ?

If you have used the built-in web admin tool (launched via the WebSite->ASP.NET Configuration menu item in VS 2005), it adds the xmlns namespace to the root <configuration> element and it stops the intellisense to work. Just remove the xmlns attribute and your intellisense will start working.

Your web.config should start like this,without the xmlns attribute on configuration element

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
...............
</configuration>

Thanks

Web Config <appSettings>

Hi, dear

Is it possible to add a key with value containing the concatenation of two words?
I'm trying to add a encripted password but the password has a the character Chr(34) (").
How can I solve this problem?

Thank you very much

ObedeObede,

What about replacing the double quote with some other character that is acceptable within <appSettings> but won't be found in the encrypted password. You could then use a regular expression to replace the character with the double quote when you read the setting.

For instance, if you replaced the double quote with a colon:


<appSettings>
 <add key="test" value="abxq:asdfttt"></add>
</appSettings>

And then when you read the value, replace the colon with a double quote:


Dim actualPassword = Regex.Replace(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("test"), ":", """")

HTH,

Hi, cjmaxey

I just tried it.
I want to know if there is another solution.

Web config

have a web app where one page Default.aspx should be publicly accessable and
another Admin.aspx restricted to a certain local group. When I am on
Default.aspx. There is link which suppose to take me Admin.aspx but I want
too give security to that page and always it jumps me to Login.aspx page.
How can I do that.

How can I do this in a web.config? Can I specify different authorization

If you need different settings for other files then you can add more

It's also possible to do the same thing using code, with something
like:

If Not User.IsInRole("Administrators") Then
Response.Redirect("Login.aspx")
End If

web config asp,net applications and web services.

Hi.
Can somebody tell me if changes made to the web.config file of a running
asp.net web application cause the application to be re-started.
The specific change I had in made was a change to the <trace> element of the
web.config file.
I am under the impression that this does re-start the asp.net web
application.
also would an identical change the the web.config file of an asp.net web
service cause the web service to be re-started?
thank you for your time..
cheers
martinHi Martin,
ANY change to web.config causes the app to be restarted which affects both
Web Forms and Web Services.
Generally this should not be a problem, unless you're keeping some sort of
state on the server. If you're worried about Session objects you might try
StateServer for more persistent state storage.

if you do any change to the web.config then the corresponding
application will immediately load the web.config file, but do not
restart.
the asp.net framework cashes all the settings of this file and
automatically detects and loads the settings when some modifications are
made to it, hense again takes them to the cache.

Raheel,
This is not correct. A change to web.config causes the AppDomain of the
running application to be unloaded and a new AppDomain to be loaded with
ASP.Net runtime in it. Note that it's the AppDomain that the runtime is
hosted in (one for each virtual directory) that gets restarted not the
process.
The old AppDomain finishes running out requests while a new one is started
up to capture all new incoming requests so there may be two simultaneous
instances of the same application running for a short period of time.

web config asp,net applications and web services.

Hi.

Can somebody tell me if changes made to the web.config file of a running
asp.net web application cause the application to be re-started.

The specific change I had in made was a change to the <trace> element of the
web.config file.

I am under the impression that this does re-start the asp.net web
application.

also would an identical change the the web.config file of an asp.net web
service cause the web service to be re-started?

thank you for your time..

cheers

martinHi Martin,

ANY change to web.config causes the app to be restarted which affects both
Web Forms and Web Services.

Generally this should not be a problem, unless you're keeping some sort of
state on the server. If you're worried about Session objects you might try
StateServer for more persistent state storage.

if you do any change to the web.config then the corresponding
application will immediately load the web.config file, but do not
restart.

the asp.net framework cashes all the settings of this file and
automatically detects and loads the settings when some modifications are
made to it, hense again takes them to the cache.

Raheel,

This is not correct. A change to web.config causes the AppDomain of the
running application to be unloaded and a new AppDomain to be loaded with
ASP.Net runtime in it. Note that it's the AppDomain that the runtime is
hosted in (one for each virtual directory) that gets restarted not the
process.

The old AppDomain finishes running out requests while a new one is started
up to capture all new incoming requests so there may be two simultaneous
instances of the same application running for a short period of time.

Web Config and query string parameters

Hi there,
I have to pass a query string parameter in my Web Config for loading a URL.
We have two environments (production and devlopment) and MonitorURL needs to
be changed when the deployment is done. In production this variable will be
http://servername:8080/MONITOR?quer...sd&query2=adsas
In this we need to get two strings by parsing the variable. But when I try
to give this variable I get a run time error. Is there any work around to
accomplish this. In development I have only one variable (there is no need t
o
split the string)
and that also is failing.
Thanks
JohnAt what point in your process are you getting an error? Retrieving the
variable from config? Parsing the variable? What is your error?

Web Config conflict?

I have 2 ASP.NET (C#) applications (A and B) running on the same
server (IIS6, but the problems is also present in IIS5).
Each application has its own Web.Config file. The only difference
between the web config files is the following
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET" path="cachedimageservice.axd"
type="MsdnMag.CachedImageService,DynamicImage" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
When I run application A, which does not contain the above handler, I
get an error: "File or assembly name DynamicImage, or one of its
dependencies, was not found."
It is as if the handler declaration is machine wide and not limited to
application B. What is going on?
Finally, if I add the DynamicImage.dll to application A's bin
directory the error goes away... Application A does NOT make use of
this dll
Any clues?application a must have a reference to the dll. when the page is compiled
(first hit) the compiler will need the dll to complete the compile.

Check to see if Application A's directory is declared,
in IIS, as an IIS Virtual Directory or as an IIS Application.
Also, if you could post what the physical
directory structure looks like, it would help
pin down the problem.
Is it:
/root/A/B
or
/root/B/A
or
/root
/A
/B
i.e., is either B or A a subdirectory of the other one,
or are both subdirectories of the root directory ?

Is Application A under application B virtually? If so, then this is a known
bug, and you've already found the workaround - put the DLL into the bin
folder of application A. You can then use <remove> in the application A
web.config to get rid of the handler.
John Saunders
Thanks for your replies, but I think I am still really puzzled.
The structure of the dir is
/root
/A
/B
and neither A not B are virtual directories. So how can this happen?

I'm not sure I understand your structure. Are you saying that you've got,
say: http://site/ then http://site/A/ and http://site/B/ ? If so, then the
scenario I described should only happen if the web.config in the root had
the HttpHandler in it.
John Saunders
What's happening is that neither of your
config files in A *or* B are executing.
If you make A an IIS virtual directory,
the web.config in /A will execute.
If you make B an IIS virtual directory,
the web.config in /B will execute.
Right now, both A and B are running either off of the
web.config in /root, if there is one, or off of machine.config.
Try either...and let us know.

I think I have solved the problem...
As I mentioned I had 2 applications A and B. However, application A
was the default application when you reached http://site -->
http://site/A. Application B was reachable from a link in application
A or from http://B
Looking at IIS Manager at http://site one sees A and B as a virtual
directory under it... so apparently I was wrong!
In any case, I did the following which solved the problem.
I added a file default.aspx at http://site which contains a simple
<%Response.Redirect("A")%>. Each application then has its own
webconfig file.
Is this the best way to do this?
Thanks

web config change and IIS restart

I changed the session timeout value in web.config file, but the changes were
not applied
to the new sessions until I restarted IIS.

Is this normal ?

Thanks.

I expected that the new user session will use the new value immediatelly.
P.S.Typically when you save the web.config and changes are detected by IIS it
will cause a application restart without any effort. However I don't know
what the time to do that is. Our servers here instantly detect the changes
and restart.

Web Config Error

Ok,
For some reason my web server stopped running so I have uninstalled / reinstalled IIS and that seems to be working. When I go to view one of my ASP.NET pages in a browser I am getting the following error associated with the web.config file. Previously before ISS had to be reinstalled it all ran fine.
Any ideas?

Server Error in '/' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2032; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2032You need to make the folder a virtual folder in IIS. When you do not do that, your folder is considered a subfolder of the application in the root.

set the authentication mode to "Off"

Sorted, thanks!

Web Config Error

I can't figure this out, i've taken everything out of the web.config that could possibly cause a problem and still get this generic garbage...

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

Description:An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web></configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/> </system.web></configuration>

Had this problem yesterday. I had an error on the server that I couldn't simulate on the dev environment. I changed my Web.Config from

<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>

<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" >
</system.web>

but in my haste, I didn't close the customErrors tag. See? Then it gave me that horrible message that you received above.

But wait, there's more! I then tried to copy my web.config again, this time WITH the closing tag, but I kept on getting an access denied error from the server. I had to contact the hosting company, one of their tecchies had to fix my web.config file for me, and only then could I continue working on the server again. Embarrassed [:$] How embarrassing!

Hope this helps you in some way...

Is the folder with the offending web.config file configured as anapplication in IIS? Otherwise, it may be a web.config higher upin the directory structuner that's causing the issue.

Hi,

When u create a web application, by default the custom errors mode is remote only. Turn it off and try it again.

HTH.

This worked...thanks.

<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" >
</system.web>

WEB CONFIG DRIVING ME CRAZY

USING ASP.NET EXPRESS BETA 2.O
EVERYTHING IS FINE EXCEPT - STILL TRYING TO VIEW PAGES REMOTELY. I GOT FREE HOSTING SERVICES FROM A 2.0 HOSTER, USING A BETA SERVER. WHEN I VEW PAGES LOCALLY, EVERYTHING IS GOOD.. BUT WHEN I VIEW THE ONE IN THE HOST SERVER - RESULTS TO THIS ERROR:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web></configuration>

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/> </system.web></configuration>

PLEASE HELP..
have you tried to actually follow the directions that it gives you (setting the mode to "Off") so that you can have the server tell you whatsreally the matter?

yes i have..
i've tried every way i could think of - Off, On, Remoteonly etc.
am i missing something??
i didn't have the same problem with .net 1.1
please advise.
here is a portion of my web.config
<system.web>
<compilation debug="False" />
<authentication mode="Windows" />

Hello.
Well, I think that you can always handle the error on your global.asax file or, even better, you can configure your app so that it uses the health monitoring api to send you an email with info about the error you're facing (this last option wouldn't need any coding).
Try changing "<customeErrors mode ="Off"/>" to "<customErrors mode ="Off"/>"

Web Config File

Where can I go to learn more about the web config file, information such as what can go into this file, the format etc

ThanksThere are many resources out there, trying searching for "web.config tutorial" example etc... http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/configformat.aspx
