I have an win-forms application that takes an existing exe which we do not have the source code for. We do, however, develop several Dlls that plug-in to the application to provide the core back-end functionality. I'd like to be able to configure ClickOnce to deploy this app, but I'm not sure if this is possible given that the main exe...
I need to define a runtime environment for my development. The first idea is of course not to reinvent the wheel. I downloaded macports, used easy_install, tried fink. I always had problems. Right now, for example, I am not able to compile scipy because the MacPorts installer wants to download and install gcc43, but this does not compile...
In moving my MVC app from dev to prod, I get a parse error on the server. The only message I get is the following: Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<TYPE of View Model>'. Line 1: <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<TYPE o...
When developing in MOSS I would be interested to hear peoples views on whether they choose to wrap functionality in web parts or to create .aspx pages and deploy those to MOSS and how best to make that decision. ...
Right now, my site is served by a single server, but I anticipate the need to increase my server capacity, soon. Instead of splitting my websites up among multiple servers and having to manage sessions across servers, I want to have multiple web servers all with the same code base on them and use router based round robin load sharing to ...
Hello: I'm developing a Windows Form application that will typically minimize to the system tray. Being new to .net, what would the easiest approach be for packaging/deplopyment that allows: The application ensure it puts itself into the startup menu, or something equivalent to this. Easy updates—like those apps that periodically che...
What strategy do you use to avoid storing passwords in version control? Currently, I have development/test/production passwords saved in three different files and the appropriate file gets used during deployment. All this is committed to version control, but I'm not too happy with that since not all developers need to know those passwor...

A strange problem occurred yesterday on a production system which has been running fine for weeks on a JBoss 4.2.3 application server: the JAR file containing the web application was no longer in the deployment folder (so the clients could no longer access the application). The server is running on a Windows box. There was no indication...
If I have an dependency Jar for my application is it better to place it in the war files lib directory or to place it in the global application server (like Tomcat) lib directory? What do I gain by using one approach over another? Diskspace springs to mind, but we live in a time when diskspace is cheap. Is there a memory usage differenc...
When I try to deploy .js files as part of a feature, not in the _layouts directory I get the following error: Cannot make a cache safe URL for 'myfile.js' Any suggestions appreciated. ...
How do you deploy ASP.NET applications? Do you push it to production servers using UNC paths/mapped drives? FTP? SFTP? SSH/SCP (via 3rd party app installed)? Something else? Or do you pull it from the production servers with a Source control update or other mechanism? Consider the production servers being on the internet or in a DMZ, p...
I'm configuring an installer for our product which, up until now, was distributed as a war file, usually on tomcat. Once tomcat has exploded the directory, the user has to open a properties file and set their database connection information. I'd like the installer to do this (we're using install4j) but there doesn't seem to be a built-in...
I have recently started using a shared-host for my clients so see project progress or to play with a new technology for myself. I seems like every time I deploy a new project that runs fine locally, I run into something new on the shared-host. Do you have a shared hosting deployment checklist? What are the common problems you run ...
I have a .NET deployment project. I would like to add a custom uninstall action that checks certain conditions and optionally cancels the uninstallation. Is that possible? As far as I figured out, it's only possible to define custom actions that cannot influence the main installer itself. ...
I just finished building my new COM project (C#, .NET 3.5). This project will be called by a VFP application. It's working great on my development machine, but now I need to know how to deploy it on the user's machine. Click Once isn't available for this kind of project, so I guess I'm stuck with manually distributing the DLL. So, where...
How can I deploy an asp.net application to the root of an IIS6 webserver? All the applications I've deployed before have been in directories, such as http://www.example.com/app1/. To deploy that for the first time, I've always just gone to the IIS manager, and selected "Create Application" in the properties for that folder. Now I'm tr...
Hi, I am writing a c# application. I need to integrate update feature to this application (ie, the application should check if a new update is available and should update to new version if available). How can i do that. Thanks ...
I've just inherited a CF app from a customer who uses a shared CF hosting provider. I'd like to introduce better processes including the ability to stage app changes that I make for their review. (In the past, they would upload changes and cross their fingers.) Their app lives in a folder under the webroot. Let's call it "/app". I'd lik...
I'm wondering about the best way to deploy R. Matlab has the "matlab compiler" (MCR). There has been discussion about something similar in the past for R that would compile R into C or C++. Does anyone have any experience with the R to C Compiler (RCC) that was developed by John Garvin at Rice? I've looked into it, and it seems to be...
