To enable remote debugging on Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2 platforms, the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) must be configured as follows:

  • If ICF is in Shielded mode, you will need to perform appropriate actions so that it is no longer in Shielded mode.
  • If ICF is on, a few ports need to be opened and permissions must be granted to Microsoft® Visual Studio® and other executables that are involved in the remote debugging.
  • If IFC is off, no firewall configuration is necessary.
  • In addition, if the user running Visual Studio is not an Administrator on the remote machine, DCOM settings need to be configured.

  • The ASP.NET worker process doesn’t have the correct permissions to connect to or write to the SQL Server database. Either enable impersonation for users, or configure the ASP.NET worker process to run under the SYSTEM account.

Server.Transfer preserves the current page context, so that in the target page you can extract values and such. However, it can have side effects; because Server.Transfer doesnt’ go through the browser, the browser doesn’t update its history and if the user clicks Back, they go to the page previous to the source page.

Another way to pass values is to use something like a LinkButton. It posts back to the source page, where you can get the values you need, put them in Session, and then use Response.Redirect to transfer to the target page. (This does bounce off the browser.) In the target page you can read the Session values as required.

The wrap functionality occurs for each cell and not for each row of the DataGrid. Therefore, if you disabled the wrap functionality for all of the DataGrid, text wrapping functionality is not disabled for every row or column.

To resolve this make sure that every column of the DataGrid has the ItemStyle Wrap property explicitly set to False as follows:


<ItemStyle Wrap='False'></ItemStyle>

This problem occurs because read access to the Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase and the Microsoft Active Directory directory service has been removed for the Everyone group. This access has been removed because of a security modification in Exchange 2000 Server SP3. CDOEX, CDOSYS, and System.Web.Mail must have access to the IIS metabase to access information about the location of the pickup directory path. This behavior occurs when you use the Sendusingpickup method and if this information is not specified in the application code. Because access is restricted, the non-administrative user under whose security context the application is running cannot read this information from the IIS metabase and Active Directory.

Depends on which mode you are using:

  • InProc Mode- objects stored in session state are actually live objects, and so you can store whatever object you have created.
  • State Server or SQL Server mode, objects in the session state will be serialized and deserialized when a request is processed. So make sure your objects are serializable and their classes must be marked as so. If not, the session state will not be saved successfully. In v1, there is a bug which makes the problem happen unnoticed in SQLServer mode and will make your request hang. The hanging problem is fixed in v1.1. The fix for KB 324479: ASP.NET SQL Server Session State Impersonation Is Lost Under Load also contains the fix for this problem. The problem will be fixed in v1 SP3 too.

The reason why the encrypted data couldn’t be decrypted on another machine is because the validation key in the original machine’s machine.config is set to AutoGenerate. This means that the generated keys are unique to each machine. A better solution will be to specify the validation key, so you can decrypt it across any machine with the same validation key.

For security reasons, you can’t force a user to run any executable.

Instead give user the option to click on it and download the executable, and execute it if he wants to. All you can do is put .exe in a directory on your web site and put a hyperlink to it on some page.

Note : Be sure to secure this directory by deactivating all execution permissions both in the IIS console and in the directory ACL

Two techniques for exporting the data in the DataGrid:

  • Using the Excel MIME Type (or Content Type)

    With server-side code, you can bind the DataGrid to your data and have the data open in Excel on a client computer. To do this, set the ContentType to application/vnd.ms-excel. After the client receives the new stream, the data appears in Excel as if the content was opened as a new page in the Web browser.

  • Using Excel Automation
    With client-side code, you can extract the HTML from the DataGrid and then Automate Excel to display the HTML in a new workbook. With Excel Automation, the data always appears outside the browser in an Excel application window. One advantage to Automation is that you can programmatically control Excel if you want to modify the workbook after the data is exported. However, because Excel is not marked as safe for scripting, your clients must apply security settings in the Web browser that allow Automation.

This problem occurs because the C# compiler does not have permission to access the folders in the path to the mscorlib.dll assembly

To resolve this problem, modify the compiler definition for the C# compiler to include the /nostdlib option. The /nostdlib option prevents the import of the mscorlib.dll assembly, which defines the entire System namespace.
To include the /nostdlib option in the C# compiler definition on a computer, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Machine.config file, and then locate the section.
  2. In the definition for C#, add the compilerOptions attribute with a value of /nostdlib.
    For example:

    
    <compiler language='c#;cs;csharp'
             extension='.cs'
             type='Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System,
             Version=1.0.3300.0,
             Culture=neutral,
             PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
             warningLevel='1'

This problem occurs because of some antivirus applications write back information to the files that they scan. Every time a user changes the Web.config configuration file, the Global.asax file, or the contents of the Bin folder, the application should restart to incorporate these changes. Because antivirus scanning changes cannot be distinguished from the user’s file changes, the application restarts when the antivirus software scans these folders.

Note This problem may occur even when no error is returned. If the virus-scanning software triggers change notifications, every change notification is doubled at the very least: one real change notification and an additional change notification from the antivirus software some time later.

Here is an excerpt from the KB article: KB 816782

Find the ASP.NET Version Used for the Application
View the script map for an ASP.NET application to determine the version of ASP.NET that the application uses. To view the script map for an ASP.NET application, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Information Services (IIS).
  3. Expand local computer, expand Web Site, and then expand Default Web Site.
  4. Locate the folder that contains the ASP.NET application.
  5. Right-click the folder that contains the ASP.NET application, and then click Properties.
  6. Click the Directory tab, and then click Configuration. The Application Configuration dialog box opens.
  7. Click the Mappings tab, and then select an ASP.NET application extension, such as .asmx or .aspx.
    The Executable Path column of the dialog box lists the path to the ASP.NET ISAPI version that the application uses. By default, the ASP.NET ISAPI is installed in %WindowsDirectory%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%versionNumber%. The version number in the path indicates the version number of the ASP.NET ISAPI that the application uses. The ASP.NET ISAPI version determines the version of the runtime that the application uses.

Use Aspnet_regiis.exe to Update the Script Map
To make it easier to reconfigure the script map for an ASP.NET application, each installation of the .NET Framework is associated with a version of the ASP.NET IIS Registration tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe). You can use this tool to remap an ASP.NET application to the ASP.NET ISAPI version associated with the tool.

Note Because Aspnet_regiis.exe is linked to a specific version of the .NET Framework, you must use the appropriate version of Aspnet_regiis.exe to reconfigure the script map for an ASP.NET application. Aspnet_regiis.exe only reconfigures the script map of an ASP.NET application to the ASP.NET ISAPI version associated with the tool

Configure ASP.NET 1.0 for the Application
When ASP.NET 1.1 is configured on the root Web site, follow these steps to configure ASP.NET 1.0 for an application:

  1. Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, locate the following directory path:
    %WindowsDirectory%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\
  3. Type the following command to configure the ASP.NET 1.0 application in IIS:

By default, ASP.NET runs its worker process (Aspnet_wp.exe) with a weak account (the local machine account, which is named ASPNET) to provide a more secure environment. On a domain controller or on a backup domain controller, all user accounts are domain accounts and are not local machine accounts. Therefore, Aspnet_wp.exe fails to start because it cannot find a local account named ‘localmachinename\ASPNET’. To provide a valid user account on the domain controller, you must specify an explicit account in the section of the Machine.config file, or you must use the SYSTEM account.
For more details : FIX: ASP.NET Does Not Work with the Default ASPNET Account on a Domain Controller
Permalink

This is because if you have the /3GB boot switch enabled, the ASP.NET worker process (Aspnet_wp.exe) does not start. For more information see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article – 320353

To create and set the ‘ASPNETENABLE3GB’ environment variable as mentioned in the above article, right click MyComputer ->Properties->Advanced > Environment Variables > System variables > New.

Add the variable name in the top text box and the value in the lower textbox.

Now, instead of DataList use Repeater and make below changes

VB.NET


Public Sub BindLabelColumn(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
   	Dim lbl As Label = CType(sender, Label)
   	Dim container As RepeaterItem = CType(lbl.NamingContainer, RepeaterItem)
   	Dim strVals As String = Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(CType(container, RepeaterItem).DataItem, 'LastName')) + ', ' + Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(CType(container, RepeaterItem).DataItem, 'FirstName'))
	lbl.Text = strVals
End Sub ’BindLabelColumn 

C#


public void BindLabelColumn(object sender, EventArgs e)
{     
       	 Label lbl = (Label)sender;
	RepeaterItem   container = (RepeaterItem)lbl.NamingContainer ;
	String strVals =Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(((RepeaterItem)container).DataItem, 'LastName')) 
		+ ', ' +
	Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(((RepeaterItem)container).DataItem, 'FirstName')) ;

Some common mistakes that will cause the designer to choke while persisting collection properties are:

  • The corresponding collection type cannot have multiple (overloaded) indexers. You should always define a single indexer of the type ‘public SomeType this[object obj]{…}‘. Otherwise the changes will be persisted but the control will not load in the designer. You will see a ‘Ambiguous match found’ error.
  • If the collection property has the PersistenceMode attribute set to InnerProperty then the property should not include a set method.

    A MultiView is a non-visual control that provides a pallette where a several view Controls can be placed. A view control is another non-visual control where you can place the user interface controls.It is simillar to that of a Tab control.The below code demonstrate how MultiView can be created,

    
    <div>
    	<asp:Button id='Button1' runat='server' Text='View 1' OnClick='Button1_Click' />
    	<asp:Button id='Button2' runat='server' Text='View 2' OnClick='Button2_Click' /> 
    	<asp:Button id='Button3' runat='server' Text='View 3' OnClick='Button3_Click' />
    	<br />
    	<br />
    	<asp:MultiView id='MultiView1' runat='server' ActiveViewIndex=0>
    		<asp:View id='View1' runat='server'>

    Validation Groups allows the different section of the webpage to be validated seperately. All the ASP.NET 2.0 Validation controls,interactive form controls like TextBox,list controls Button and other controls that are used to submit a webform have validationGroup property. The default value of this property is the empty string. When a button with a ValidationGroup property is clicked all of the validation controls on the page with the same ValidationGroup property value are executed.

    On postback, the Page.IsValid property checks the validity of all of the validation controls. Programmatically it can be checked by the Validate() Method.

    
    <html>
    	<head runat='server'>
    		<title>Validation Groups</title>
    		<script runat='server'>
    			void Group1Click(Object s, EventArgs e)
    			{
    				if (Page.IsValid)

    				}
    			}
    
    			void Group2Click(Object s, EventArgs e)
    			{
    				if (Page.IsValid)
    				{
    					lblResult.Text = 'Age Validated & Submitted';
    				}

    A master page is a template that you can use to define the overall look and feel of your ASP.NET Web applications. In previous versions of ASP.NET, you were forced to embed user controls in every page to get consistency. Master pages now make it much easier to deliver a consistent look and feel, without the need to embed user controls across all of your pages.

    Here is an article from ftp online: Create Master Pages in ASP.NET 2.0.
