I created a new VS 2013 project and viewed the default.aspx page with the Firefox browser. When I check the net calls it has made, I see it making constant calls to:
http://localhost:50682/6a663a78019845d5ade4a328cad09cc2/arterySignalR/poll?transport=longPolling&connectionToken=AQAAANCMnd8BFdERjHoAwE%2FCl%2BsBAAAAOBmDwPWa2ky2MAZXFHBMVAAAAAACAAAAAAAQZgAAAAEAACAAAADSADQXBVKiKczflJ0OzUjOLduFTJE4zd%2FLHWGpDfXnuAAAAAAOgAAAAAIAACAAAACyEX81VwilygfphPoEKCYQ6ZwrkzExoKfZzEMkqBKqqzAAAADG%2BDJbrEFOfsNm9OKhqacnGseQvrwy5kmyZnI5YJiZbjYFgzMELXHfwA7Sxjj4osJAAAAAvQvoG4N0nn8eB9FRaJaZyqaUDF%2F9ypvGN%2B%2BVefnx8U1Fq6P9HXO9vEC%2BfA2s8R4jik58rD4IcFMjM4P8l5kv6g%3D%3D&messageId=d-F1180A0E-W%2C0%7Cl%2C4%7Cm%2C0&requestUrl=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A50656%2Fdefaulttest&browserName=Firefox&tid=4&_=1384207744328
Why is it doing that?
How do I stop those calls?
I see an infinite number of calls made to the above URL every 6 seconds.
Please help me understand this and fix this.
This is working as intended. Artery aka BrowserLink is a real-time connection from Visual Studio to all browsers running your code. It essentially allows Visual Studio to interact with every browser.
For instance if you have IE, Opera, Chrome and Firefox all running your code and you're trying to ensure cross browser correctness; instead of going to each browser and hitting f5 to refresh you can just click the browser link refresh button which will auto-refresh all of the pages for you.
Not everyone wants or needs to have this functionality so if you do want to disable it, as Gustavo Armenta said you can disable it by following the steps here: How can I disable __vwd/js/artery in VS.NET 2013?
I would recommend you to read this post first Browser Link feature in Visual Studio Preview 2013 to understand about this new feature that comes in with VS 2013.
And then to disable this, simply uncheck the "Enable browser link" option.
You can hide the polling requests from the Chrome developer tools Network tab so that the requests you are actually interested in become visible. You can hide the polling requests by adding a negative filter:
On the Network tab, click the filter button to open the filter options
Enter "-poll" without the quotes to hide the polling requests.
Example:
Had issues with that on site running with KnockoutJS framework. Pages were freezing for 10 seconds until "BrowserLink" external scripts were loading (using Chrome browser).

We have an Application Developed in ASP.NET inside which we have added an embedded Power Bi Dashboard using iFrame.
The Dashboard is working as expected in Chrome but facing the following issues with IE and Edge.
On IE the Dashboard is not being Displayed when viewed from the Embedded Application and upon clicking the power bi Sign-In button (shown within the Iframe), the application as a whole gets redirected to app.Powerbi.com/.... When you click the back button and refresh, still the sign-in prompt is shown in the iframe.
On Edge, the behavior is same as in IE, except that you click the back button from the app.powerbi.com website and then refresh the page, then the report renders correctly within the Iframe.
I tried clearing the Cache and Cookies, tried adding *.microsoft.com site and *app.powerbi.com to trusted sites list(per power bi forums) but still not working.
I suggest you check for the latest Windows updates and try to install it. Then after again try to test this issue on your side.
If the issue persists then hard refresh the page. Clear all the data for that site and again try to load the page.
I tested the issue with IE 11.1.18362.0 and Microsoft Edge 44.18362.1.0. As per my testing results, both browsers display the Power BI dashboard in ASP.NET site without any issue.
Output in IE 11:
Output in MS Edge:
If the issue persists then try to check the console to see whether there is any error or warning message. It can help to narrow down the issue.
I am using Report Viewer to remotely generate reports and I wish to have the print control button in the report header using IE 11.
This question is similar to the following:
Print button not available in ReportViewer using IE11
I have not been able to solve this issue. I have upgraded Report Viewer 2012 Runtime to 11.1.3452.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2 to SP2.
I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 and .NET framework 4.5.1 on the server. IIS is version 7.
I can see print buttons in all previous versions of IE (10,9,8,....)
I've also tried forcing the user agent to IE10 using this line:
meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10"
According to the answers to the above question, I should have the print button. Any other suggestions besides compatibility mode or creating my own print button?
ReportViewer client printing feature relies on ActiveX which is not
supported by any browser except IE 9 (or earlier), that's why you do
not get print button when Chrome, Firefox or IE10/11 browser is
involved. For printing, you should export to PDF and let the user to
print it.

IE needs an add-on, RSClient, for the print button to work. Normally, the first time a user loads a report on IE, you'll see a prompt to download and install the add-on. Unfortunately, a lot of things can interfere with this. I'm not sure this will help you, but security settings were an issue for us.
Try this:
Remove the RSClientPrint add-on if it's installed. (Open the Control Panel, Internet Properties. Click the Programs tab and Manage Add-Ons.)
Click the Security tab, select the Trusted Sites zone, and then click the Sites button.
Add your web site to the zone and save your changes.
Open IE and navigate to your web site and the report. Hopefully, you'll see the prompt to download and install RSClientPrint and everything will work well. If it doesn't try to download, I would focus on the server.
I'm getting a weird issue involving IIS and IE, and I'll try to describe it clearly.
I have a regular html-css-js/jquery website that I've developed locally. Now that it's ready, I'm trying to deploy it on a server.
Once it's hosted on the server, I see two problems in IE only:
The rendering is slightly different: there's a few pixels of additional white space all around my website (so the contents is actually more 'compressed' than when viewed locally).
Some JS issues: I'm using the Impromptu jQuery popup plug-in, and the callback I specify in its 'loaded' event pre-populates its forms fields. In FF it works, but in IE the fields don't get populated until I close the popup and open it again. This worked locally on all browsers.
As weird as it sounds, the text in my jQuery popup dialog does not seem to have the 'ClearType' technology applied. The text is like '1 pixel thin' and not anti-aliased like everywhere else.
I have uploaded my website to another server and it runs perfectly fine. The issue is that I need to put it on the first server and I don't know what's wrong. Both servers are on Win 2k3 with IIS 6, .NET 3.5.
Any pointers as to what is going wrong? Thanks a lot.
Make sure that the "security zone" in the Internet Explorer status bar is the same when viewing the site between the 2 servers.
Use the IE developer toolbar to debug your css. Could also be a caching issue if it looks like an older version.

I have a problem as I have struggled with for a week.
Now I give up! I really can not figure out how to solve it. Every time I open the ASP.NET Configuration in VS10, then comes the first with this error:
**An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again. **
If I then press:
How do I Use this Tool
so this comes up:
**Tool Has Timed Out
As a security measure, the Web Site Administration Tool times out after a period of inactivity. Changes to machine.config or web.config may also result in the tool needing to be restarted. To continue configuring your web site, restart the tool. **
Some who can answer me on what's happening here?
"Special characters in the path may be the problem, according to the posts." as Posted above by Dave Swersky
THIS worked perfectly for me! I had a special character ("#") in my folder path I removed this and removed spaces for good measure!
I was getting the error "Tool has timed out" among other errors when accessing the WSAT(Web site administration tool) from the ASP.NET configuration menu item.
I saw a post somewhere else that said the problems was solved when the default browser was changed to Internet Explorer. I have been using Firefox and have the exact same problem. When I changed the default browser to IE, the configuration page came up with no problem. But it won't work twice in a row without going in and setting the default browser back to IE each time. When I go back in to Program Access and Defaults, "Use by current browser" is selected. I have to reselect IE, and then it will work one time.
Judging by the Connect site, this error has been reported and is not well understood:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/118567/an-error-was-encountered-please-return-to-the-previous-page-and-try-again
Special characters in the path may be the problem, according to the posts.
This is what worked for me.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 trying to create the membership role. I was trying to use the ASP.NET Configuration in Visual Studio.
Set the 'Default Browser' to Internet Explore.
To do this:
Right click on one of the .aspx pages you have under "Solution Explorer".
Select "Browse With..."
Select Internet Explore and Click on Set as Default.
Close the box.
Go back and click on "ASP.NET Configuration"
This will automatically open Internet Explorer.
Problem Solved :D
I guess what I was doing wrong was using Firefox as the default browser with Visual Studio. I'm guessing Visual Studio works good together with Internet Explorer since Momma and Daddy made them together (awww how cute)
The issue might be related to an application path that has spaces. After googling I managed to bypass the issue by appending the application path to the url manually ie.
http://localhost:{your_port_here}/asp.netwebadminfiles/default.aspx?**applicationPhysicalPath={path_to_your_application}&applicationUrl=/**
As a firefox user, I closed firefox then executed the "ASP.NET Configuration" option in VS2010. It automatically opens firefox (default browser) and now I am seeing WAT page contents.
I have a Web Application (ASP.NET C# for .NET 3.5) that uses the Session object to store, amount little things the debug information so when things go wrong, this is the first place to go.
The process is simple actually,
no matter what browser (except IE), when I navigate to a page, in the Debug Log I have data, just like the one show below
alt text http://www.balexandre.com/temp/2010-04-14_1048.png
problem is that in Internet Explorer, the Debug Log is always blank (blank as no information, not no html code)
alt text http://www.balexandre.com/temp/2010-04-14_1051.png
What can I do?
I tried several Security settings of IE8:
add the site (machine name) to Trusted Sites
disable Protect Mode
set Local intranet security level to LOW
set Accept All Cookies under Privacy
checked the Allow Active Content under Advanced tab
I really don't know what more can I do :-(
Any help is greatly appreciated!
You could try using Fiddler - a web debugging proxy - to check traffic between IE and your site. Also, if you can, try other versions of IE on different machines/networks to see if it's a global problem, or just related to one browser. And don't forget you can hit F12 to enable developer console in IE.
