I create event logs for asp.net projects error logging. I do it by adding a key in regedit, and then a sub-key. Sometimes, I create a new key and sub-key, and instead of getting a new, empty event log, I see in the event viewer that it's showing me the logs from a different project. I'm not able to find a pattern as to when this happens....
When accessing my site, the user has to enter his credentials. They are basically plain directory access credentials. At a certain point I check if a certain file they want to download exists by calling WebRequest req = HttpWebRequest.Create(checkUri.AbsoluteUri); WebResponse res = req.GetResponse(); Although I can access the checkUri...
In our web application we have a directory which resides outside of the project. On IIS that's no problem to do, but can I do that also in my project in Visual Studio? Edit: My project is running on File System, and not on Local IIS ...
I've had to create a custom membership provider for my current ASP .Net project in order to fit in with our database schema, and am having problems configuring it to lockout a user if they get their password wrong three times, as is supported by the standard providers. Is this something I need to implement myself, or should it be suppor...
This is probably a simple question but I am not an ASP.NET developer and I am quite stuck. I have a simple search routine that returns between zero and several hundred results. Each of these must be added to the page as a button and I want to set the text of the button and the CommandArgument property so that when the button is clicked ...

So, I'm setting a cookie that should expire. However, I want this to work around the world. So I need to adjust my expiry date for the user's timezone. So, I need to find out the user's timezone, server-side. Is there a way to do this in the BCL? As in, something like relying on the CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture to be set correctly...
Hi, I've got some entities which have decimal properties on them. These entities' properties are displayed in multiple places throughout my UI. Currently I'm finding myself doing: litWeight.Text = person.Weight.ToString("0.00"); all over the place. Now I know for a fact that in several instances, and am suspicious of many others tha...
I am using a global named mutex for file access synchronization between an ASP.NET application and a console application. While running the ASP.NET application, the console application fails to acquire mutex - as expected. While running the console application, the ASP.NET application throws UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the pa...
Hi folks I have the following HandleError filter on my controller: [HandleError(ExceptionType = typeof(ArgumentException), View = "DestinationError")] I've set-up the Web.Config so that customErrors are on. The problem I'm having is that the HandleError filter is working fine, when I run the app locally out of Visual Studio, but when...
I'm working on an ASP .NET 2.0 site which uses a Web Application project file, and therefore compiles to a dll rather than deploying the source code as you do with the older style Web Site projects. The site works fine on my test server (Windows Server 2003 R2, IIS6) when it runs in the root of a website. However I need to run it under ...
On my machine (XP, 64) the ASP.net worker process (w3wp.exe) always launches with 5.5GB of Virtual Memory reserved. This happens regardless of the web application it's hosting (it can be anything, even an empty web page in aspx). This big old chunk of virtual memory is reserved at the moment the process starts, so this isn't a gradual ...

While deploying enhancements, I usually remove 3 from the cluster, deploy the app, put them back in rotation, and remove the other 3 and do the same.

I was just wondering how I could automatically increment build (and version?) of my files when using Visual Studio (2005). If I look up the properties of say C:\Windows\notepad.exe, the Version tab gives "File version: 5.1.2600.2180". I would like to get these cool numbers in the version of my dll's too, not version 1.0.0.0, which let'...
What's the best way to authenticate and track user authentication state from page to page? Some say session state, some say cookies? Could I just use a session variable that has the ID of the user and upon authentication, instatiate a custom User class that has the User's information. Then, on every page, verify the session variable is...
I've inherited an ASP.NET application built on top of webforms, and the application suffers from having all of its business logic embedded in the codebehind. As a result, this application can't be unit tested. I want to break out the functionality of every form into an MVC style, but I've found that ASP.NET resists every effort on my pa...
