I am actually a java/jsp programmer and I am newbie to vb.net. I wonder if I can combine a project made in vb.net 2008 with a vb.net website (like servlet in java)
I have a ready made project with assembly .dll file that is based on 2.0 .net framework.
This project (software) actually to connect it to a handkey 2 hardware. It register users to the handkey.
I want to deploy it to the internet as a website.
-----What I have try so far----
I have created a new website (in vb.net 2008) and add the dll as a reference but it send this error
Could not load file or assembly 'RsiDotNetDLL, Version=2.4.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=11d948a84312b819' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
I just want to share my solution
I have fixed this by open this website with visual studio 2015, select Debug---> Options---> Projects and Solutions---> Web Projects and tick the option "Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects"
Thanks

I've created a blank solution in VS2019. Using the option "add existing web site" I've added a website to the solution which was built in VS2010. Normally, after that, I was used to add a Web Deployment Project to the solution, to compile all the code in one dll, and upload the result to the web server.
But this kind of project does not seem to be compatible anymore with the newer versions of VS.
Is there any way to get a similar compiled result in VS2019?
I found an alternative.
It is to convert the [asp.net web site] to an [asp.net application]. The asp.net application has a publish feature, which can be used to generate an output folder with the compiled application inside, with the aspx pages and a single dll.
I suggest to follow the steps described here to convert the asp.net web site to asp.net application:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aa983476(v=vs.140)
I'm confused by the myriad of options for creating a new website in Visual Studio 2015.
In particular, I don't understand the difference between
File > New... Website... ASP.NET Website (Razor v3) and
File > New... Project... ASP.NET Web Application > ASP.NET 4.6.1 Templates > MVC 4
What I'd like is a website that works well with Entity Framework and provides scaffolding to quickly create data entry forms.
It seems MVC 4 provides this, but is there something similar for Razor?
The main difference between the Web Application and the Website is that it will compile the application into a single DLL file at build time. In order to update the project it must be recompiled and the DLL file published for changes to occur.

I am following this setup tutorial
https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/tutorials/your-first-aspnet-application.html#create-a-new-asp-net-5-project
And have come across a problem. In the tutorial the instructions are as follows:
Start Visual Studio 2015. From the File menu, select New > Project.
Select the ASP.NET Web Application project template. It appears under
Installed > Templates > Visual C# > Web. Name the project ContosoBooks
and click OK.
This is fine, but in the next step :
In the New ASP.NET Project dialog, select Web Application under
ASP.NET 5 Preview Templates. Also, make sure the Host in the cloud
checkbox is not selected and click OK.
I am seeing no ASP.NET 5 Preview templates!
The only thing I am noticing is that my Authentication states No Authentication but I am signed in so I am not sure what this means or whether or not this is a factor.
The version I have installed of Visual Studio is "Community 2015".
I have already gone through the perquisites as outlined in This Article.
I am hoping that someone with a more thorough knowledge on the topic can help me out as I have not been able to find any threads etc. of the same issue or what could be causing the Templates to be missing.
Asp.net 5 templates no longer exist - they are renamed to Asp.net Core: ASP.NET 5 is dead - Introducing ASP.NET Core 1.0 and .NET Core 1.0
So, when creating your project, instead of picking "ASP.NET Web Application" as it is in the video - you would select "ASP.NET Core Web Application" and then on the next page those 3 templates (Empty, Web API, Web Application) are the same as the video's asp.net 5 preview templates
VS 2015 Preview is going under ASP.net Core web application. If you cant see that one under templates you may go to this site and download .NET Core 1.0 for Visual Studio then install.
I have concluded, by following another stackoverflow question on How to check the ASP.NET version loaded on a system as I noticed that the templates were categorized in the ASP.NET versions (4.6.1 & 5) in the tutorials but mine were not.
So I then checked and my files in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework are as follows
Revealing no v5.0 directory. I rectified this and now all of the templates are available
AMENDMENT:
To fix it:
I went to http://www.asp.net/downloads and downloaded ASP.NET MVC 5
I ensured I had Developer Tools checked in the download process.
This issue was now resolved - As I then had the MVC 5 template files. Because I downloaded them, so I had them... and no longer didn't have them.
ALTERNATE FIX:
Furthermore From my research, some people had not included Developer Tools. To resolve: go to old mate 'Add or remove programs' and find your Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx install, 'change' and install Microsoft Web Developer Tools
I have had the same problem but it is actually even better because "The new dialog enables you to change the default authentication options for many of the templates. For example, when you create an ASP.NET Web Forms project you can select any of the following options:
No Authentication
Individual User Accounts (ASP.NET membership or social provider log in)
Organizational Accounts (Active Directory in an internet application)"

I recently had this problem and finally fixed it by uninstalling (control panel -> uninstall a program) Microsoft.NET Core and Microsoft Visual C++ redistrutable 2015 (x64 & x86) and then re-installing the asp.net core rc2 (https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#windows or possibly check Tools->Extensions and Updates->Updates inside of Visual Studio).
I uninstalled the Visual C++ redistrutables because I kept getting an error when trying to re-install asp.net core rc2. It kept telling me that it already existed even after I had just uninstalled it and the update was showing in the "Extensions and Updates" section of Visual Studio after trying (but failing) to install the asp.net core rc2 update.
I am responsible for supporting a relatively complex Website project written with .NET 3.5.
Previously I was using Web Deployment Project with Visual Studio 2010 to deploy this website but at the moment I have only access to Visual Studio 2013.
As far as I know, there is no longer such a tool to be used for deployment in Visual Studio 2013 and I do want to compile the code before deploying to the production server. As mentioned earlier, the project is a bit complex and this would not be easy to be converted to a Web Application.
Any idea?
Unless I missed it, unsure what the issue is - in VS2013, Publish is what you are looking for (either WebSite or Application).
What exactly do you mean by "none of the (vs 2013 publish) options worked"? What is/was the issue?
In one of your comments, you state you want to "pre-compile" (aka "don't want to upload .cs source files) and that's a setting in Publish.
You can Publish to your local file system: "Custom" -> File System:
This extension still exists for Visual Studio 2013: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy
Little bit confused with the question because you are keep referring about website rather web application.
If you are looking to convert web site to web app then you need to follow this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/aa983476(v=vs.100).aspx
Otherwise, if you are referring about the deployment project. Yes, it is no longer available.
I'd a very similar situation like you and Since 2013 I have stopped using any deployment project, instead I have started using Publish that creates a deployment package for you on a Network , FTP, Local Drive or even on Azure.
Here is a nice guide from Microsoft
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465323(v=vs.110).aspx
If you still want to go for Deployment Project, then you would need to go for "Installshield" limited edition,which is free (http://samirvaidya.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/how-to-enable-installshield-le-for.html).

In Visual Studio:
New->Project->ASP.NET Web application
New->Website->ASP.NET Website
What is the actual difference between these two, though we are opening webapplication?
Web Application Projects are projects, like any other Visual Studio project. They have a project file (.csproj or .vbproj) which is an MSBUILD description of how to build the project. This is how Web Applications were built on .NET since Day 1.
With Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft decided that this was too complicated. They got rid of Web Application Projects and replaced them with Web Site "projects". These are not actually projects, but are rather a collection of files in a folder tree, on disk, on an FTP site, on IIS, etc.
They were loudly informed of their error, and quickly came out with Visual Studio 2005 SP1, which put Web Application Projects back in the system, where they are to this day, and always will be.
The code in a Web Application Project all gets compiled into a single DLL. The code in a Web Site is only compiled when it is referenced. This can be a benefit during development - I'm working on one now, and actually find it sort of cool to be able to change some C# code, save it, then press F5 in the browser to see the affect.
On the other hand, what I'm working on now actually is a web site - it's not a web-based product that needs to be packaged up and shipped to customers. I may be old-fashioned, but I don't like the idea that my code doesn't compile before I ship it to customers. I was taught (the hard way) to test what I ship.
