I have a solution with 2 projects in Visual Studio 2008 SP1, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. a ASP Web site. a Class Library (dll) project.

Why are multiple App_Offline.htm files appearing in Recycle Bin

Hello, I'm not duly concerned but can anyone suggest why since installing Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 I keep finding multiple App_Offline.htm files in my recycle bin. I suspect it's something to do with Visual Studio taking local websites off-line whilst it runs an automated process and then immediately deleting the files (movin...

ASP.NET 2.0 - How to use app_offline.htm

I've read about the app_offline.htm file which can be placed within the root of a .NET 2.0 application which will in essence shut down the application and disable any other pages from being requested. I've placed the file in the root, and my site still loads. I went into default documents in IIS and set it to app_offline.htm and the si...

App_offline.htm, CSS, images, and aspnet_isapi.dll

Hey all! So, the site I'm working on is using urlrewriting in coordination with aspnet_isapi.dll (everything is mapped to it). I put up my app_offline.htm file, and all the text shows, however, the CSS or images aren't being served. I'm guessing they're being processed by ASP.NET due to the wildcard mapping instead of IIS. Is this corre...

VS2008 app_offline.htm not removed after build

This happens about 50% of the time I build my web application. I have it running on my localhost (start without debugging) and when I make changes and build it will always build successfully, but sometimes not remove the app_offline.htm file it adds for the build. I then have to either refresh the solution explorer to show the app_offlin...

Why does app_offline.htm keep appearing in my web project?

I regularly (every few days or so) publish my ASP.NET web project to the local web server. But the weirdest thing keeps happening... a file called "app_offline.htm" keeps appearing, unbidden, in my web project! I have deleted this file several times, it is not in source control, and AFAIK nobody else is tampering with the project. But...

Is there a way I can still use app_offline.htm on my ASP.NET MVC 2 projects? If not, is there an alternative method?

I loved the features of using app_offline.htm on my ASP.NET WebForm based sites. Upload the file and your app is immediately "offline". Snappy. Now that I'm using MVC 2, I noticed that this no longer works. Is there a way to get this behavior in ASP.NET MVC 2 like it did in WebForms? If not, what alternative do you prefer? ...

Custom app_offline.htm file during publish

When I publish my ASP.NET MVC application it generates a app_offline.htm file to take the site offline while it updates the website and then deletes the file once the publish is successful. This is cool and I really like the idea, but I want to create my own custom app_offline.htm file that the publish action is aware of and put it some...

Dot Net Nuke app_offline randomly being generated

We have had multiple DNN sites running for quite a few months now without any issues. Twice in the last 3 days our sites have gone offline by the addition of the app_offline.htm file in the root dir. There is only one developer with access to the sites at a coding / directory viewing level and the file is generated at weird times times...

What are possible causes for App_Offline.htm not bringing the site down?

Normally, I use App_Offline.htm for taking the site offline. But occasionally, when I do that, the site just hangs (like in: browsers wait forever, server gives no response at all). This seems to happen on an updateable site when I change something, like a control and afterward, when it doesn't go quick enough (site hangs), I place App_O...

Using app_offline.htm to take an app offline while updating dll's fails while updating dll's

So I sometimes use app_offline.htm to take an app offline while I upload a new version. However, while I am in the process of uploading larger dll's, I get the yellow error-screen saying the dll could not be loaded. This seems to be out of sync with my expectations of what app_offline.htm does (stops the app entirely), and also provide...

App_offline.htm created/deleted whenever I check out a file in TFS

I have an AJAX-heavy ASP.NET web application developed using .NET 4.0, using TFS as our source control. We recently upgraded our dev tools to use VS2010 and TFS 2010 exclusively, but now every time a file is checked out, we see visual studio reloading all the symbols, and all the sessions being dropped. After putting some error logging ...
