What is the best way to check if a web service is up and active? I realize there are many different factors to this, but I would like to do something simple before sending data, like at the moment the proxy is constructed to see if the service is able to be connected. I am coding in vb.net.Is there even a best practice for this type of comm?

I created a function that allows me to login to my web service. I created a session here and added some values I retrieved from a stored procedure.[code].....
My question is: I have a default.aspx and a master page, how can I redirect the user when their session is active? For example, the default page tells users that access is forbidden untill the login/register.Do I have to use the form load handler for default.aspx or the masterpages' load handler? How do I check weither the usersession is active?

View 18 RepliesI am using a third party OPC library.I have a routine that basically checks that the connection to OPC is active and if not, waits 10 seconds and reinitializes by calling a .disconnect / .connect on the third party library's object.The OPC connection somewhere in its chain is using a com object that dislikes this behavior due to the object belonging to another thread.Ordinarily I would invoke a delegate to get the call back on the correct thread, however this base class does not implement ISSynchronizeInvoke.
Is there another way to make sure a a call to to an objects methods occur on the thread they were created on from within a system.timers.timer which is obviously running on another thread?Error message is: "The application called an interface that was Marshalled for a different thread.

View 2 RepliesMVC3, VB.NET, using EF. I am working on coding up a simple function to handle checking for a valid MySQL connection. If the connection fails the test it will use the secondary server connection. This is required because our hosting provider does not provide failover or redundant MySQL servers. The problem is I tried to use a simple try catch method in the HomeController. This fails early because the Entity Framework is looking the connection that was set up when I set it up... Is there anyway to control that connection dynamically?

View 5 RepliesWe have a WCF service hosted in IIS that currently calls a VB6 DLL to do part of its job. This works fine, but we can't deploy the service to a 64-bit target environment without configuring IIS to run it in a 32-bit worker process.I am currently investigating ways around that restriction. Porting the VB6 DLL to .NET is not possible for various reasons, so I created an ActiveX EXE wrapper around the DLL in VB6, so that the service can run in 64-bit and the VB6 parts in 32-bit.
When I tested the service I got this error:
Type: System.UnauthorizedAccessException
Message: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {9AE7303B-D159-43F6-B1A5-52D297581820} failed due to the following error: 80070005.
After some Googling I found that this is due to either:
Calling an MS Office component
DCOM permissions not being configured
NTFS file permissions not allowing read/exec access to the IIS worker process identity (ASPNET in my environment)
Of these:
Definitely not applicable Also not applicable; I am not hosting the EXE in DCOM or COM+, just a simple COM out-of-process activation
This looks likely; however, I checked the permissions, and NTFS reports that the Users group (which ASPNET is a member of) does indeed have read/exec access to the file I tried calling the EXE from a unit test fixture, which is executed in my admin-level account rather than the IIS worker process account, and it worked fine, so the error is definitely something to do with permissions. I'm not sure what to do next.
UPDATE:The IIS virtual directory is configured for Anonymous+Windows access; the WCF service uses only Anonymous authentication, the Windows authentication is for the VS debugger. Task Manager reports that the aspnet_wp.exe process is definitely running in the ASPNET account.I explicitly granted Read and Execute access to the ASPNET and IUSR_<machine> accounts on all the COM exes and dlls involved. This made no difference.
I explicitly granted Local Launch and Local Activation access to the ASPNET and IUSR_<machine> accounts on the relevant interfaces in the DCOM configuration. This made no difference either.Keep trying to get this working somehow.Go the whole hog and host the EXE in COM+.Give up. Tell users that the WCF service must be configured to run in a 32-bit app pool on 64-bit Windows.

View 22 RepliesI have a connection string (which works fine) to connect to AD through my web application in my web.config. Traditionally, however, I've created a new connection to pull info. from the user after login like so:
Using adDirectory as New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://OU=myou,DC=mydc,DC=dc,DC=com")
Dim adTicketID as String = ticket.Name
myVar = "adDirectory.Children.Find("CN=" & adTicketID).Properties("myproperty").Value
End Using
It seems that I should instead use the connection from the web.config like so:
Using ADCS as New DirectoryEntry
Dim adTicketID as String = ticket.Name
myVar = "adDirectory.Children.Find("CN=" & adTicketID).Properties("myproperty").Value
End Using
Is this possible? How would I accomplish it so that I don't need to constantly create new directoryentries?

View 2 RepliesI've set up a test database to begin unit-testing an app that I've recently been added to. It is a 3-tier design (presentation layer, BOL and DAL) and this is my first time writing unit tests. I've decided to start at the BOL and I figure the best way is to swap out the ConnectionString (which has been passed along as a Shared String) with one that points to my new test database. However, I don't wish to change any production code. I simply wish to somehow redirect the app to the test database during unit tests.
