Migrating portal app in .Net 1.1 to 3.5 - portal architecture issues

pblecha — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

I am migrating a web application that was built on the old IBuySpy portal technology over to .Net 3.5. Because of the amount of secure, dependent code, I'm having quite a bit of difficulty managing this migration. Here are a few points to start with (I'll have more as I'm going along, so thanks in advance to everyone who manages to help me with this):

The IBuySpy portal code made the management portal a separate solution and web application; however, because these applications are feeding from the same database layer, they need to consume the same web.config, as well as several data layer classes. In the past, this was done by inheriting the namespace from one portal to the other; but since web apps no longer build DLL files, I can't just import the DLL from one app into the other. I'm trying to incorporate all the changes into a new project that both web apps can then inherit from; but the crucial bit of info is the connection string in the web.config of the non-management portal app.
I want to "nest" these apps, so that the management side is a virtual directory under the main app; that might actually solve the first problem as well, but I need to do it in VS2008, not in IIS, so that the namespaces will be shared.
I also have an old-style web service that's not yet ready to be migrated to 3.5 code (I'm not in a position to make time for a complete development project here!), that also needs to be a virtual directory under the main app, and also share the web.config.

I've seen one, and ONLY one, website that mentions nested web apps, and it's messy as h3!!. Is there an easier, smarter solution to migrating these three separate apps into one without creating all sorts of new problems?

The ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta for VS2008 bug report

Doggy8088 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

When the strong-typed Model passed to the View, and the Model Type name contains non-ASCII characters. e.g. Chinese characters. The View will not able to rendered due to C# compilation error. That's because the C# compiler doesn't recognize the file encoding with "UTF-8 without BOM" when View file content contains UTF-8 characters ( non-ASCII parts ). The C# compiler just treat "UTF-8 without BOM" file as "ASCII" or "Default" encoding, so that the compilation failed.

All these problems comes from the default MVC T4 Host write all output as UTF-8 without BOM. I think it's a bug for non-English people.

There is a workaround of mine that is modify the View file they generated every times when run "Add View" command within the Controller in the VS2008.

I was tried to modify the *.tt files under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Web\MVC\CodeTemplates\AddView" folder. Even I modified the <#@ output extension="aspx" #> to <#@ output extension="aspx" Encoding="UTF-8" #>, the result is the same. Even I specify encoding as "ASCII" or "BIG5", the output file encoding still UTF-8 without BOM.

This problem has plagued me for a while. I think this problem will plague many others non-English developers too when Model Types contains non-ASCII characters.

Hope someone could see this problem.

Thanks!

Usually the home editions of OS does not have an inbuilt IIS, But the VS 2008 comes with an in-built Development server. There is a chance that your OS might have blocked VS server port.

I don't have an idea for using MD5 in .net .Plz try to send me how to create the password by using MD5 in vb.net .Plz give me one example for it which must be clearly understood.

why WCF slower than Web Services? can make it faster than WS?

Fionyy — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:00:00 GMT

I'm new to wcf, to upgrade our website and to make sure wcf can speed up the website, i have created a application test page in vs 2008 with 3 buttons to count how much totalmiliseconds taken to process the particular services.

btnWS: Web Service (original used in online website already).

btnWcfWs: WCF that converted from Web Service (basicHttpBinding)

btnWcf: WCF that manually copy from Web Service and modify to follow wcf coding structure. (tested in both BasicHttpBinding and WSHttpBinding).

The sequence of the speed after compare:

1. btnWcfWs (most of time FASTER than Button 1 sometime not) (500-650 miliseconds)

2. btnWS (550-690 miliseconds)

3. btnWcf with BasicHttpBinding

4. btnWcf with WSHttpBinding (slowest around 875-1031 miliseconds)

I not sure wether the method used to compare is accurate or not.

However, hope somebody could explain to me how to speed up WCF to faster than WS? possible?

Hope somebody explain in step by step to me... what can i do?

Thanks in advanced.

Re: What is .TMP files and how to solve them without re-appearing

I have the same problem. Running Microsoft Security Essentials Beta. Just added my project folder to the exclusion list to see if that fixes the problem.

Great Catch

Same here - with the MS Security Essentials Release on Windows 7 Ultimate and VS2008 with SS 2005 - and it did the trick!!!

excluded the solution root and no more .tmp files

Problem using DefaultNetworkCredentials with VS2008 on Win7

wieganka — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:00:00 GMT

OK, so, I have a DLL that accesses CRM webservices that used to work when I had Windows XP on my machine...now, it doesn't now that I have Windows 7.

When I create the web service I use "m_Instance.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;". This worked without a problem on WinXP/Visual Studio 2008. After upgrading to Win7 however, if I use that, I get "Operation Aborted: Timeout" when I make a webservice call.

If I hard-code my credentials using "m_Instance.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(strUserName, strPassword, strDomain);"...it works just fine! SO, something seems up with using the CredentialCache.

At first, I thought this was an issue with the DLL begin run inside an ASP.NET application, so, I created a quick Console application...only to notice the same behavior. HOWEVER...what I did notice is this: If i ran the console application within Visual Studio 2008, the webservice calls failed...If I ran the application by going to the "debug" folder and just running it...IT WORKED (and I did NOT need to run as administrator).

Is there some strange-ness going on with Visual Studio 2008 running applications from inside the IDE that didn't exist on WinXP that now do exist on Win7? I tried running Visual Studio "As Administrator"...and of course, that did nothing.

Is there something I need to do in my code to get this to work? I even tried tell VS to run the ASP.NET app using "NTLM", with no success either. I'm wondering if there is some security issue...but I have no way of figuring this out at the moment. Oh, and I did try turning on impersonation in both the web.config, as well as using the "WindowsImpersonationContext.Impersonate()" call...but I still have yet to get the DefaultNetworkCredentials to work from inside the IDE.

Animated gif freezes in updateprogress on postback VS2008

tous0024 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Group, I have seen many posts on this using Google, but I can't seem to find a simple solution that works. I set up an application in VS2005 which uses the UpdatePanel and UpdateProgress which displays an animated gif during a postback to retrieve data.

Now I am playing in VS2008 and I am doing the same thing in a different app, but when the app does a postback it will display the animated gif but it is frozen. Even if I simply put an animated gif on the page, not in an updateProgress panel that gif will freeze during postback.

I don't understand why it seems to work fine on the app I built using VS2005 but not in VS2008.

I saw examples of javascript, etc. to fix the problem, but isn't the purpose of the updateProgress to display text or an animated (not frozen) gif while the user is waiting for a postback.

Any simple suggestions without having to write a bunch of additional code?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
