Can I use google Drive to host asp.net site? - asp.net

I want to host a site for my university project can I host it on Google drive? or you can tell me how to manage data base using java script

With Drive, you can make web resources — like HTML, CSS, and
Javascript files — viewable as a website. ... Google Drive does not
support web resources that make use of server-side scripting languages
like PHP.
Since ASP.NET is a server-side technology, it will not work with Google Drive.
Hosting a regular database will not be possible too but it depends what do you mean by "database". For example, you can try to use Google Spreadsheet as explained here at http://dataist.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/using-google-spreadsheet-as-a-database/
If you a looking for a free of charge service, then google for "free asp.net hosting", e.g. this one is free (ads banners to your site) https://somee.com/FreeAspNetHosting.aspx

You cannot host asp.net site on google drive.

No Google drive doesn't support hosting of web site containing server side script language like Asp.net, php.
for managing database in javascript, you can use TaffyDB. here is the link of it.

My advice for a university project would be to contact somebody at the university and ask for hosting. Given that it's for work you've been given there, I'd be quite surprised if they weren't willing to help.

You can try Windows Azure with SQL Server CE database. It offers 10 websites for free. See more at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/develop/net/aspnet/

How to host a .NET website in the server

How do I host a ASP.NET website on a server? I have created a website using Visual Studio 2010 as a frontend and sqlserver 2008 as a backend. What are the steps I should take for hosting the website on a server? Do I have to buy any licenses for .NET or SQLServer? If so, how much will this cost?
I use Arvixe (arvixe.com) for all my web hosting needs. They are great, cheap, and offer .NET support. Their administration panel is absolutely easy to use (creating databases, etc.).
Go to Arvixe.com, sign up with one of their ASP.NET plans. They will email you FTP information on how to upload your file content, as well as information on how to log into your admin panel to create the database you need. If you need any help with this process, they have a 24/7 live chat feature and they can help you immediately.
There are numerous ways to host an ASP.Net site on the internet. You will have to research the various methods turned up by searching to see what is best for you.
You can always host it from your own computer with Microsoft's Internet Information Services. This is a solution if you are doing this as a simple project. You'll have to activate/install IIS by checking it off under "Add/Remove Windows Components".
But to be honest, I would take Carmine's suggestion and start up an Arvixe account. You can pay $8/month and have up to 6 websites at any given time. I use it constantly for demonstrating web projects for my company. The only problem I have with them is, as I mentioned in my comment to Carmine's question, their service is sometimes completely down. Today was a great example, I was doing some local work on my site, but of course many of my files and all of my databases are accessed via Arvixe's servers. They were offline for at least an hour and I had to start working on something else until they were back up.

Is there a way to use sharepoint as the back-end versioning and storage for my custom document management website?

I want to build a custom document management web application that ties in with sharepoint for the actual document versioning and storage. I'm hoping for something like a sharepoint widget that I can plug into my web application that would allow me to tie in with sharepoint and download documents, make edits to them, and upload them back to sharepoint, with sharepoint handling all of the versioning and storage.
Basically I'm looking for a sharepoint API.
If WSS is the answer to this, are there licensing issues that I need to consider?
Thanks.
The best way forward is probably to use SharePoint's web services as that way your application can run on a server that doesn't have SharePoint installed.
Regarding Licensing, as long as you are licensed for Windows Server then WSS is free. However, depending on what database you use you may need to make sure that your users are licensed for SQL Server. Have a look at these links:
SharePoint Connections
Technet
Eggheadcafe
Wouldn't it be easier to do some development to customize SharePoint to your needs instead of just using it as a backend?
If it's SharePoint 2007 you're talking about, then on the server side you have the SharePoint API (Microsoft.SharePoint.dll) and on the client side, SP provides web services for manipulating lists, libraries, users and most other things you might need.
As Jeremy said, getting data to and from SharePoint through the Web Services, requires you to write CAML queries, but it's made easier by the help of tools such as this free CamlQueryBuilder
There's loads of documentation on both the API and the web services online.
If you're planning on using SharePoint 2010, all this will be quite easier, as more options are available for developers, e.g. API for the client side as well as the server side. Also new in 2010 is LINQ for SharePoint, which IMO really rocks!
Sharepoint is accessible with CAML Queries in that you can create, modify, and delete any object in Sharepoint with this.
You could create your own front end and just communicate to sharepoint.
As far as licensing, WSS comes with any Windows Server OS, so your client would just buy a license to the OS and be fine.

Offline mode in ASP.NET Web Application

I want to build a web application (SaaS) that can work both in Online and Offline modes. The user needs limited features in case he is offline and full feature access when he becomes online again. I thought of the following options:
Make the user download a local server such as Cassini and devise an architecture to allow online and offline modes in the web application. I am not sure how it will be done but I believe all the commands will be routed through this local server. The local server will then decide whether it accesses the local resources or the server.
Making a user install application on his system will defeat the whole idea behind SaaS.
Use Google Gears - I just checked how Google Docs work in offline mode. It installs Google Gears on the user's system which was pretty neat and fast and copies all the files locally. A link is provided to access the offline version. This seems like a good option to me as it integrates a local server, relational datastore and a worker pool in itself but is Google Gears mature enough to be used in production?
Has anyone worked/working on such an application. Ideas welcome.
EDIT #1:
I am not very familiar with Silverlight and whether it can be used in such a scenario.
EDIT #2: The following link mentions that SilverLight can be used to develop Offline applications Offline SilverLight
I am looking for expert comments from people who have used SilverLight in their development. Can user work offline? Can user re-open the same webpage after closing the browser window?
If you choose to let users install an app on their computer, I would consider developing a Windows Forms app instead of a web app, basically because this seem like a more logical solution. If you deploy the app using ClickOnce it is remarkably easy to keep the clients up to date.
From a user's point of view, I think that Gears is mature. I use in it Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs, pretty much without any problems. I don't know about the developer tools. It might help to use Google Clusure Library since it has methods specific for Google Gears.
Depending on the web browser that you need to support, you could also take a look at HTML 5. O'Reilly's online book Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript has a chapter about making a web app work in offline mode.
Seems to me that "web application" and "offline mode" are a bit contradictory.
I have seen some examples of Silverlight being used in such a way however. And, at one time, I implemented a WinForms smart client application that worked in such a way. These days, though, I would definately look into Silverlight.

How could I integrate Arachnode.Net web crawler with some of goodness in Searcharoo for a Search Engine Interface?

I am currently 70% of finishing my portal in asp.net using C# for a local government agency. The portal is quite big with integration with SQL Server 2008 Analysis, Reporting, and Integration services. Plus, I had successfully deployed and configured it into Windows Server 2008 under Active Directory environment. The next requirement is going to provide a search capability to the portal. The search engine must be able to search contents from the analysis and reporting server as well. For the start, I have made some research on the search engine using Microsoft.Net technology. I am very impressed with the works of experts for Arachnode.Net and Searcharoo. For the time being there is a sample for Arachnode.net to combine with Lucene.Net as complete search engine for asp.net. However, Searcharoo seems better than Lucene.Net for many reasons (in my opinion). Could anyone help me guide briefly on how could I integrate Arachnode.Net and Searcharoo? Thanks.
You can find help for setting up Searcharoo spider at my blog post titled
