Hi All, I'm using Cassini to run an ASP.NET app on a machine where I don't have access to IIS. I'm using Cassini for .NET 3.5. My website uses Windows authentication and when run on Cassini User.Identity.Name returns an empty string. I'm guess this does this because it is allowing anonymous access to my website. This is documented h...
Hi all, I seem to have found a discrepancy when testing ASP.NET applications locally on the built-in web server with Visual Studio 2008 (Cassini). I've set up a host on my local machine associating dev.testhost.com with 127.0.0.1, since I have an application that needs to change its appearance depending on the host header used to call i...

I have an ASP.NET website which is running currently on IIS. Now I want to move that site to run on Cassini. What are the advantages of Cassini over IIS? What are its disadvantages? What are your experiences using Cassini as a production web-server? ...
In Visual Studio 2008 when you go to properties of a project (an ASP.NET MVC one at least) you have the option to run an external program. There are three parts for it: the path to the program, the command line options, the working directory. I need to pass the root of my web application as a command line argument. I don't want to hardc...
Having a weird problem. I'm testing an ASP.NET application I wrote that queries SQL server via AJAX. The application is using LINQ-to-SQL to load data from approx 8 or so tables in a join, and every once in a while, the call to SQL server locks up and never returns. My first thought was that it was getting deadlocked, but from what I'...
I have a simple HTTPModule which does some custom session state management. public void Init(HttpApplication context) { context.AcquireRequestState += new EventHandler(ProcessBeginRequest); ActivityLogger.LogInfo( DateTime.UtcNow.ToLongTimeString() + " In Init " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteU...
I've got some code var type = Type.GetType("namespace, assembly"); return Activator.CreateInstance(type); thats works fine in most situations, however when this code is referenced in the Global.asax of a website that is debugged using Cassini/Visual Studio Development Server the type cannot be found.

Our asp.net web site is currently deployed to an IIS7 server. We are setting some http headers via the config file such as this: <httpProtocol> <customHeaders> <remove name="X-UA-Compatible" /> <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=EmulateIE7" /> </customHeaders> </httpProtocol> This works great for myself as I host my per...
Hi All, I have a C# webservice in .net 4.0. The webservice will create a file on a UNC path. If I let the Cassini web server in visual studio do the authentication it works fine. But if I change the application to use IIS (Windows 7) then the file doesn't get created but no error is reported. If I change the location of the generate...
Hello folks, does anyone have any good links/tutorials about how to create a simple ASP.NET MVC website, and have it run against a Local IIS7 Web Server, instead of the default Visual Studio Development Server (aka Cassini). Yes, i tried google, but i fail at getting some good keywords, etc. Cheers :) ...
During development, I usually test ASP.Net applications using the Web Development Server (sometimes called Cassini). Occasionally, when I publish to a real IIS environment, I notice that the application behaves differently. So, what are the differences between the way that production IIS servers and the ASP.Net Web Development Server be...

Notice how i've got the username/password in the url? this, i believe, is for basic authentication. When I do that, the Request Headers are MISSING the 'Authorize' header. Er... that's not right :( I have ...
I was serving html referencing svg files in Cassini, and having problems since the mime type was not being sent properly. I ended up writing my own port of Cassini that set the extension based on mime type. After a good night of sleep I realized that there might be some sort of registry key or config file where I can configure custom mi...

during debug in cassini the code runs fine, but when I explictly build it, the compile breaks on an object saying it can't find the reference. During a breakpoint shows the proper reference to the object, and I can view the debug intellisense. The code itself is simple using CFTW.Controls; ... controls_LatestPresentations c = LoadCont...
I would like to serve xbaps from the VS web dev server (cassini) to Firefox, but when served from the dev server, Firefox offers to download this file. As far as I can tell, this is because the dev server is serving the xbap file with a mime type of "application/octet-stream" instead of "application/x-ms-xbap", which works when served fr...

I have set-up that application to run on IIS 7.5 (on Windows 7) and the web forms part of the site is running okay but the MVC part is not.
