I'm not new to web publishing, BUT I am new to publishing against a web site that is frequently used. Previously, the apps on this server were not hit very often, but we're rolling out a high demand application. So, what is the best practice for publishing to a live web server? Is it best to wait until the middle of the night when pe...
I have CruiseControl.NET Version 1.4 set up on my development server. Whenever a developer checks in code, it makes a compile. Now we're at a place where we can start giving our application to the testers.

What are the main reasons for having ridiculously long export times for a simple flash movie to swf? I have no unnecessary images or symbols, everything possible is set to lower than low and it still takes 10 minutes and upwards to export a 30 second animation at 24 fps. I have even created a new fla and pasted everything in there, to fi...
Is it possible to change the connection string of a published sql reporting services report? I can see the binary field called DataSource in the ReportServer database, but since it's stored as binary I don't think it's easily updatable. Do I need to republish the report with the correct data source? I'm hoping not since I do not want to...
I'm creating several RSS feeds from a database to publish things like job openings, volunteer opportunities, and links in general. My question is, how many items should be returned in the feed so that it is most likely that someone will get all the items in their reader without any gaps? SELECT TOP 100 ? (obviously would need to be set...
Hi All, I have a collection of unmanaged dlls with a C# wrapper around them that I'm calling from a C# project.

Ok, so I have VS 2008 and SVN. When I "rebuild all" a handful of my .dll's disappear from my bin folder. I have these .dll's in a library folder and that's where I am referencing them from. When I go to publish the app the publish fails, I think they are related. When I reboot my web.config (change something and save) this error goes...
I have a webservice that exists in an asp.net website. When I publish the site to a test server I have to go into the bin folder and into the .svc file for the service and manually change the URL to correctly reflect the test server URL. Is there a better way to handle something like this? ...

I started using a a library which I reference from the GAC during development. I want the dll included in the project bin directory when I promote it to the webserver. I also need my local and the server web.config to be different. Before I started using this library I really enjoyed using the publish website feature of VS. Now it just s...
When I use Build->Publish Web Site in Visual Studio 2008, most of the time it compiles the site, and then simply asks me "All files in the target folder will be deleted. Continue?" (or something to that effect). On occasion, however, when publishing a project in Visual Studio, I would get a dialog box that would give me the choice of rep...

I usually use the "Publish" feature in VS 2008 to get the correct files and so on that I can publish to my website. But from time to time publish fails without any good error message at all. I know that it can be a couple of different reasons but I am starting to grow really tired with this now. Can anyone teach me how to build the webs...
This must be a common problem because I see it in many published papers but it seems to be quite tricky to google for. You can insert a bibliography like so \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{foo} and everything works as expected except there is sometimes (I have no idea what circumstances cause this -- it seems random to me) no...
