I have this ASP.NET application, and suddenly it doesn't show the changes, if I edit a css file for example, even if I rebuild it and run it like that. I tried with an older version of the app too but it does the same. Is it from some Visual Studio setting?
If you are working with VS2015/2017, consider deleting the ".vs" folder that could be found at the root of your application i.e. the same folder where your solution file is present. If the folder isn't there you may have to unhide it through folder options.
The folder will get created again next time you build/run your application.
Try to clear the browser's cache.
Make sure you have tried "ctrl + f5" which will hard refresh (Cache will restore) your crome and make sure everything has been saved inside vs, Also make sure you are passing through the .css file properly.
I'm trying to add Excel files in order to be published through ClickOnce . I've added the files in the project and its properties already marked as build content and copy always. However it is not being published through ClickOnce .
Could help me with this issue?
I thank the support .
Here is the MSDN page for it
How to: Specify Which Files Are Published by ClickOnce
EDIT: I apologize. I did not see where you had tried this. My bad. I'll run a quick test and see if I can recreate the problem.
Go to Project > Properties and then select the Publish tab at the bottom. From there select Application Files. You should see your file. Make sure that the options for the file are Include (Auto), (Required), and Include. That is what got my file to be added.
In one of my ASP.NET apps, all of a sudden I am unable to run it in Visual Studio 2013 due to the error displayed below. It appears that it is trying to open the web.config from a path that doesn't even exist. All of my project code, including web.config, are located under C:\Projects\SourceCode\AFEManager\Trunk\AFEManager.Web. I've found a number of posts here from users experiencing a similar error, but the solutions seem to vary and none I've found so far seem applicable to my situation. I looked in that TraceLogFiles directory and the most recent log file there is five days old so it obviously hasn't been logging anything since I've been having this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.
In my case I deleted all folders in D:\My Documents\My Web Sites\ before
Then I caught the error
There is a file .vs\config\applicationhost.config in my solution folder
It contains reference to the deleted folder. So, I deleted applicationhost.config and then pressed 'Create Virtual Directory' button in my project property Web page. It was recreated the file and the folder
I've been able to resolve this issue even though I can't say I fully understand all of the details. I'll attempt to describe the situation the best I understand it and hopefully others with greater insight can add further clarification.
After having been doing all of my development on my workstation, it was suggested that I begin doing this work in a new VM environment that had been set up for me. So I installed VS 2013 there and copied my source code from various projects over there. However, rather than follow my previous local path convention of C:\Projects\SourceCode[ProjectName]... this time I decided to use the directories that are set up during the VS install, c:\users[MyUser]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects[ProjectName]. Sometime shortly thereafter, our infrastructure team made a change so that my home directory, c:\users\rmayer, was now being pointed to a common network drive, \totalsafety\TSUsers\rmayer. Everything continued to work without any issues.
However, due to various difficulties I had working in this VM environment, I decided to return to doing my development work on my workstation using the original local paths for my source code. This is when I began encountering the errors described above whenever I would try to run my code through VS. What I've begun to learn is that there is an applicationhost.config file that IIS Express uses located here: \totalsafety\TSUsers\rmayer\My Documents\IISExpress\config. It contains entries for each of my web projects; the one relevant to this issue had a section which looked like this:
<site name="AFEManager.Web-Site" id="8">
<application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\Users\rmayer\Documents\My Web Sites\AFEManager.Web-Site" />
</application>
<application path="/AFEManager" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\Projects\SourceCode\AFEManager\Trunk\AFEManager.Web" />
</application>
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:19257:localhost" />
</bindings>
</site>
The physical path attribute listed under applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool" at that time was set based on the local path I had been using at the time I was working in the VM environment. Now that this one file is being shared regardless of whether I'm working locally or within the VM due to the move of the users' home directories, this path is invalid when I'm working from my workstation. By updating this path to C:\Projects\SourceCode\AFEManager\Trunk\AFEManager.Web, it now works correctly from my workstation.
Again, I have a limited understanding of how this is supposed to work, but what it's telling me is that I will be unable to do development work from multiple environments (not that I want to any longer) unless the local paths are consistent between all of them. If I'm correct about this, this seems like a less than ideal design.
I had this issue when I moved the project folder to the new machine. The problem is that the VS has the site registered in its config file (applicationhost.config) inside .vs/ folder but did not create folder inside %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Web Sites\. If you just click Create Virtual Directory inside the project properties (Web tab) it will not be enough.
First close your VS and remove .vs/ folder inside your solution directory
Reopen VS and click Create Virtual Directory inside the project properties (Web tab) - VS will register the site again and create corresponding folder inside %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Web Sites\
I changed the virtual directory path in vs\config\applicationhost.config inside the solution folder.
In my case, the project was located on network not my local disk. After copying the project to local, the issue was resolved. Hope it can save someones time who has the same issue.
You can change the path for the web.config to its real path in applicationhost.config file. This file is located in /.vs/config folder.
After changing the path in this file, save it and restart the project, it solved my issue.
This is happening because I have different work stations, but the project is saving in different folders.
Delete .VS folders that Visual studio created.
It might be hidden in your project structure.
Unhide the folders and look for .vs folder and delete that folder and rebuild the application.
Most simplest way to solve this issue.
Approximate reason to arise this error is copy project from another pc.
Solution:
Step 01: From Visual Studio Solution Explorer, Right click on your project and choose Open Folder in File Explorer.
Step 02: Open .vs folder (Hidden Folder) and
you will get 2 folder named config and another one is named as
your_project_name/config.
Step 03: Both config folder will contain a
file named applicationhost.
Step 04: Open both applicationhost file using notepad and find the directory showing in error screen (Config
File \?\C:\User\hp\Documents\My Web
Sites\YourProjectName\web.config)
Step 05: Just replace this
directory according to your pc directory. Example, in my pc I have
changed as below:
C:\Users\Sydur Rahman\Documents\My Web Sites\MyProjectName-Site
to
C:\Users\hp\Documents\My Web Sites\MyProjectName-Site
Note: Please make sure you have changed in both applicationhost file.
That's all. Now your project will run as expected!
Thank you PongGod!! I am not able to comment on your answer but I wanted to post anyway since I had the exact same issue while running an instance of Orchard. In my case, everything had been running great until I found a bunch of old project files located in:
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Web Sites\
And started deleting them for no apparent reason. I then tried to start up Orchard from Visual Studio in debug mode and received the error message above. After applying the same fix to my applicationhost.config file, everything is working fine now.
In my case, I am assuming that the directories got mixed up because I had initially ran the default Orchard files from Visual Studio and from Web Matrix. Then later on, I downloaded the full source files and began running the files from a completely different directory. Thanks again.
Here is a solution i have found.
https://gyorgybalassy.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/i-asked-for-a-vs-folder-and-the-vs-team-gave-it-to-me/
(1)Find the applicationhost.config file in |YourSolution|\.vs\config
(2)Modify the VirtualDirectory PhysicalPath To your project.
(3)Restart solution. Start project.
(4)If it's still not working, try to check setting in your IISExpress config. If there is not site setting, copy And paste the setting to |UserOnYourComputer|\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config
(5)Change the id to other id which not be used in IISExpress applicationhost.config.
(6)Start your project.
I experienced the same issue and I resolve it quite simply. My issue was arose after when I perform a merge operation in git repository, after merge operation Visual Studio some how changed my default project URL to the default URL of my partner's computer from where he pushed the last time in to my repository.
So here is how I resolved this error:
Simply go to the properties of the project.
From the left vertically aligned menu, select Web.
After you will Project url and a text box containing the default port number, now just aside that textbox there is a button "Create Virtual Directory".
Press that button and there you go.
It will again point the default url the current working folder of your project.
Hope it works for you all :)
After all this answers I find my solution. Delete te WebSite in the IIS and recriate. Why? Because I had create de website before installed the framework 4.5 and URL Rewrite.
Go to the project dir:
..\\{ProjectDir}\\.vs\\{ProjectName}\\config
Then delete the applicationhost.config file and recompile your solution.
That's all.
This steps helped me to get over this error
1.In Windows Explorer, locate the web.config file that is associated with the Web site.
2.Right-click the web.config file
3.Click Properties.
4.Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
5.Click Add.
6.In the Enter the object names to select box, type computername\IIS_IUSRS, click Check Names, and then click OK.
Note* Computername is a placeholder for the computer name.
7.Click to select the Read check box, and then click OK.
8.In the Web.config Properties dialog box, click OK.
I'm using fontawesome in one of my web applications. The problem is that not all of the fontawesome files that is contained withing my Content folder is published to the web server.
Is there any way that I can get these files to be published without having to manually copy them?
Please check the following.
1) check if the font files are in your project in visual studio (i.e. event the files are in the the project folders in Explorer doesn't mean it is in visual studio project, see if you can view it in your solution explorer)
2) if you can see it in your solution explorer, right click on it and see if you see an option called Include In Project. if you see this, click on it and it will include the file into your project. Instead, if you see Exclude from Project then it's in your project.
3) right click on the font file again and see if the Build Action property is set to Content.
This actually had nothing to do with the files not deploying. I'm using bundling and minification and unfortunately it seems that MVC bundles are not smart enough when it comes to virtual directories.
A quick fix was to create a physical directory with the files giving me a 404 error.
I have a website in vs2008. I have created a crystal report which works fine in the DEVELOPMENT environment. But when I publish my website to IIS, the report is never displayed. It just displays a blank page. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?
Thanks
If you installed your application in a website different from Default WebSite, try this:
Solution
Copy aspnet_client folder from c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder to the new website root folder.
or in IIS:
Create a virtual directory called aspnet_client that points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot inside the new website.
Cause of the problem
Using client tools (debug window of your browser) or server tool (IIS log) you will find that some required Crystal files like crv.js and style.css are not served. That's because these files are placed by CR installer in wwwroot\aspnet_client folder, but they cannot be reached from other websites installed on the same machine.
I can see that you use different versions of software and different configurations, but I think you have the same problem.
Make sure Folder "2_0_50727" exists at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web
or your SiteRootFolder\aspnet_client\system_web
if not exists copy the folder "4_0_30319" as "2_0_50727".
If you are using Submit button for viewing the report, make sure you effect a full postback on submit button click. You will find that all pages in the report will work perfectly fine.
Note: Use Trigger with Update Panel to Effect the Full Post Back (The Control ID of the trigger should be the ID of the button).
Perfect! The solution is to work on IIS this way:
Copy aspnet_client folder from c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder to the new website root folder.
OR
Create a virtual directory called aspnet_client that points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot inside the new website
Thank you so much
You need to install the merge modules on the web server. You can download them from Here
Check the Crystal Report Run-time version, for example if you install version 13.0.1 and your Visual Studio uses 13.0.2 the report will display but not data will be displayed.
