So I've just started up my most recent website:[URL]and it would seem that every 5th or 6th time I publish my project out of VS 2005 the Web.Config file corrupts and loses its connection string to the database and a nasty exception gets thrown stating that the web.config file does not contain the connection string that all of my SQLDataSource objects use.

is there any tool to validate configuration file?
View 1 RepliesI am having problems with the VS2008 (Professional Edition) hanging and corrupting files on my SBS2008 (64-bit) server. Once it hangs, attempting to delete, copy or rename the files on the server causes Windows Explorer on the server to hang and rebooting the server is the only way to regain access to the files. On my client machine, I'm running Vista Ultimate and VS2008 SP1, .NET 3.5 SP1. Constantly needing to reboot the server has become quite unpopular with other users I've moved my projects directory over to a secondary (32-bit) 2008 server to see if that helps things. My next guess (or maybe my first guess) is Symantec End Point Protection running on the server may be causing this...looking for other possibilities? I've seen other threads of VS2008 SP1 hanging but no real resolution.
View 4 RepliesI have an SMTP listener that accepts incoming connections and routes the message to a folder using FileStream. I have to add x-sender: email@address.com and x-receiver: email@address.com to the first two lines of the file so it can be put in a pickup folder for relay later. It seems as though this way of handling the incoming stream is corrupting the HTML in the email message body. Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong or a suggestion that would point me in the right direction regarding what I am missing?
View 7 RepliesI'm coding an application, it gets you some info and then saves in a .txt file like every 10 seconds on a timer. Testing the app, everything goes okay, on "accidental" application exit it goes well doesn't "corrupt" the file that I'm saving. But on "accidental" system restart the file just turns blank. 0kb, nothing in it. I don't get it. Here's my code about the file I'm talking about, it's a simple streamwrite function.

i just recently published my app, and when i try to locate the exe file from the start menu/my app folder/my app shortcut's properties, i get this as a directory:
C:Users rujadeAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsmy application
now when i go to that location, in windows explorer, all there is a shortcut looking icon. when i check the properties for that, the Type of File : is Application Reference (.appref-ms) . is this my app, and if so, why does it have that little arrow on the icon like shortcut icons do?
i cannot seem to locate the .exe file by doing a system search, other than locating my other similar app which is located in a set folder and was not run from a setup. and if possible, how can i install my app in c:program files and not that set location?

I have a simple app that reads from a very large text file, and returns a value if a string is found. I can instruct users where to download the file, and where to put it, but it would be nice if I could embed the file with the publish, so that the program knew where to look by default.Getting users to download a seprate file is painful. This file has 1.4 milion lines of text. I really need it to look for the file in a predictable place and be able to run against that by default for most users. I can have experienced users browse for a new file, but most people aren't into that much thought.

View 5 RepliesI'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?

View 2 RepliesI have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?

how to publish an application with an access database file on vb 2005?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a relatively simple program in VB.NET. I am trying to make the installation process as simple as possible for the user.I know its possible to use the executable from the debug directory as a stand alone executable, but are there any drawbacks to this approach? For example, if the user does not have .NET on their machine, the program will not run. Is there a way to publish the program so it is self-contained in a single executable file?

I would like to enable user to select path to database and store that path in app.config file.

View 2 RepliesCan anybody tell me how can i add app.config file to the project?
i try add new item in the project but i can not see any app.config template.
I've never thought about it before; but I recently learned how I could modify the app.config file to add/remove trace listeners (for example, to redirect all of the Trace.WriteLine output to a text file).But I don't quite understand how it works? I know the corresponding C# code to do the same as the config (in this example) - does that code get generated/executed before my application's entry point?
