I have a .NET Set and Deployment project which has to execute a set of really long SQL Scripts as a part of the installation process. I have used SMO dlls to make calls to the .sql script files.These SMO dlls are however not a part of the .NET framework but they come bundled with SQL Server 2005 or 2008. Now, if the setup is run on a mac...
I reference another eclipse project from the current project I am working on. Everything is working fine except when I try to jar up the referenced project and use the jar instead of the eclipse project my project doesn't run properly. I know this is a bit vague but is there something I might be doing wrong in jaring up the referenced ...
Hi All, We use Microsoft Smart client, Enterprise Library, Composite Application Block and Infragistics and some more third party libraries. In the project, we added references to the libraries in the Visual Studio 'Add Reference' and selecting from .NET component lists. How to make sure all the DLLs shall be copied to the deployment...
I've used JSmoothGen in the past, but recently we've seen a number of machines that refuse to run the .exes that it generates. It also seems not to be actively maintained so heavily any more. Are there any alternatives that are more actively maintained and more reliable? ...
I would like to automate the deployment of my SSIS and SSAS artifacts to remote development SQL Server 2005 & 2008 instances on a scheduled basis. What would be the best solution for this? I am using TFS 2008 as the source control system, so I'd like to integrate the solution with MSBuild and a scheduled Team Build. ...
I've been building .NET web applications for many years now, and I never use the GAC? What am I missing? Or am I better off staying away from it? ...
I need to deploy a web application on several laptops (although it is a web application, it is intended to run via localhost only - thus the need to deploy on several different machines). Normally I would go to IIS and right click a directory to create a web application, but I would very much like to automate this leg of the installatio...
Hello, I have a small web application which uses themes. The themes work on host, so on preinit, if the host = a, load x theme, if the host = b, load y theme. In my code this looks like: If request.url.host.contains("a") Then Page.Theme = x Else request.url.host.contains("b") Then Page.Theme = y I have a url which is a.abc.co...
Does anyone know, or have a link to an article or a step by step tutorial, that would tell me how to distribute a .net MONO application with a minimum install? The full package of Mono is like 75 MB but I know al lot of that is the compiler and libraries that I don't need. I just want the minimum runtime files. What files would I need ...
I'm building a static ASP.NET site (using Masterpages and a few forms) and I'm about to release it onto my production server. I know about changing <compilation debug="true"> to false, but I'm wondering what other things I can do to obtain the highest speed possible. There is no data access in the site, it's all static content. Does an...
I have the occasion to produce Drupal web sites using development, staging, and production environments. Keeping the code in sync between the sites is a simple task using subversion. What is not so simple is propagating changes to the database data (not just the schema) between installations. The reason for this will be familiar to an...
When compiling an ASP.NET 2.0 App names MySite for deployment I get a series of assemblies that resemble something like "bin/APP_xyz123.dll", "bin/APP_xyz456.dll" and so on. Everything works fine but if I make a small code change I have to update the entire site because the "_xyz123" and "_xyz456" part of the assembles names change wit...
I am having real trouble trying to get decent answers to my questions from VPS and dedicated hosting provider's sales people. I have a fairly simple set of requirements - how do I select a server spec / package and be confident that I have got it about right? Are there metrics to use - number of Http requests per minute for example? are ...
For my web application running on LAMP, I need to be able to deploy database migrations and code changes on multiple servers and be able to test deployment afterwards, all of this automatically done by scripts. Currently I'm torn between using directly my build tool (Phing) with some special deployment/test tasks, or shell scripts, or a...
I'm having some trouble uploading and getting my web app on the net with my chosen host. I built a war file in Net Beans and asked my host to deploy it for me. This worked fine but to access it I had to point my browser to: www.myDomain.co.uk/explodedWar What of course I wanted was to be able to access it just by pointing my browser ...
We are starting with Sharepoint development with a team of three and are currently setting up our development environments. We would like to avoid installing a Server 2008 for each developer, thus a single terminal server has been setup, using Remote Windows to start a VS2008 instance on each developer's machine. Now we would like to sep...
I'm working on a tool to simplify an application's deployment. Hence I'm aiming to automate the build of the setup project. The Situation: When I use Visual Studio to build the setup project this, creates the msi and exe files and concludes successfully. The problem occurs when I run a command in the command prompt, I keep getting this ...
Suppose there were several projects mostly maintained by smart interns, who eventually leave after a period of time. Scripts are used here and there in key parts, for example, to back up a database, rename it, zip it, move it over ssh, unzip it, and then to restore it with different settings. You know, the scripting stuff. The programmi...
How would I go about this? I have a mostly static site, which is being hosted on a cheap web-host, which only allows FTP access to the hosting. The site is tracked in git. I am using OS X. I would like to upload a new version of the site by simply doing cap deploy ...
