I want to create a Website for that I am using asp.net technology,Since I am Actually Buying a domain and web hosting space for it. Before that I have question regarding some doubts.
I have seen Website http://www.bigrock.in/ . As everyone Knows that Asp.net is platform dependent and I want my Website should open everywhere with same look and feel. And Someone have told me there will be no issue for platform Dependency,You only need to choose Server with windows and deploy Your website there. and after that everybody will be able to open website with same look. Now My question is that if that's the thing is there then why the issue of platform Independent for(java EE,Php) website is there.
Please Clarify my doubts.

Platfrom independence in this case is only a concern for the server, not the client.
A normal asp.net website can be openened in all mainstream browsers, on Mac, Linux or Windows or mobile clients. So it will work everywere.

ASP.net is platform dependent.
This is not true.
An asp.net website can be installed on any web-server provided it has .net framework installed on it. Most modern age windows servers has it. Hence, whoever told you that
choose Server with windows and deploy Your website there. and after
that everybody will be able to open website with same look
Is right.
When somebody accesses your website's page asp.net generates HTML content which is sent to client which is platform independent. Hence all clients will get same look and feel.

Apologies if this is in the wrong category. I'm currently developing and application in ASP, due to my inexperience with ASP I'm worried about vulnerabilities that a user can exploit.
My application is being coded from scratch, no templates used or defaults from Visual Studio, completely blank projects. The user is greeted with a login page where depending on there user access in active directory depends on which pages the user can access.
The exploit I'm worried about is if the user will be able to commit a directory traversal and access a page in which they're not allowed to access and change critical information.
I'm afraid my inexperience has caught up with me. Could someone explain to me how I could limit the access to the user or, If I'm over thinking the process, correct me? Constructive criticism is accepted.
Microsoft does try to help protect your application through their defaults, so if you're running in IIS, make sure the user the application pool is running under only has write access to the folders it needs to write into.
This is a very open-ended question and depends on many factors such as version of .net, server OS/IIS version, other handlers installed, etc. But a good start is to review the OWASP Top 10:

I am redesigning my company's website. I am not a developer, but have learned as I went along. I am ready to push out my site to a test subdomain, but I can't figure out how to publish it correctly using VS Express for Web 2013. I have multiple problems.
First, we have our own internal IIS server and I have a "site3" folder on the server ready for testing the new site. I can't use Web Deploy or Web Deploy Package. I publish using File System. This seems to sorta work, but no images load and it redirects me to a Login page that I have no intention of using. When I run the site on my local machine, everything works 100% fine - no login page and all site resources load and function perfectly.
Second, when I try to publish, there is no "Release" configuration like I see in online tutorials and MSDN, only "Debug." Is there something I'm missing in the configuration? The publishing? Am I using the wrong framework? This is my first rodeo and I am completely lost.
If anyone wants to look at my completely jacked up site, it's http://site3.tcns.net
EDIT: I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with the fact I have no clue how to configure the web.config file and the default file isn't plug-and-play for a basic website.
I have some idea as to what happened. I accidentally created an MVC solution instead of a basic website.

I using Windows Authentication with IIS 7, I need the prompt don't show or display.
What is the correct way for the prompt don´t display.
It's somewhat difficult to understand what you are asking.
But I'm taking a stab at it and assume that you have set up a web site using Windows Authentication, and when you browse to it with a web browser you get a login dialog asking for username and password.
Is my assumption correct?
The reason for this could be a list of things.
Unfortunately you are not mentioning anything whether you are using a intranet based web site or an internet facing web site.
If it is the former, then there's hope, if the latter not so much.
Assuming that you are within boundaries of a corporate network, an intranet solution.
First off, make sure you are using a web browser that support Windows Authentication. Microsoft Internet Explorer is a good start. If using IE, make sure that it is set to Enable Windows Authentication in Tools->Internet Options->Advanced.
And that the host name you are accessing is part of the Local Intranet Zone in the Security Tab of IE. That way, you can take advantage of the Automatic logon functionality.
Second, if you are not using Impersonation on the web site, make sure that the account running the application pool has all the necessary permissions to all needed resources. (Like files it may need to access, DB access an so forth.)
If you are using Impersonation, make sure that the account running the browser session has all the necessary permission to all eventual resources your web application may access. (See previous)
If you are using an internet facing web site, then sorry, you are out of luck.
You know, if your question would have been more specific, you would have given a much better answer.

Is it possible to create full web site with Silverlight? [closed]

I have never programmed web sites. I know that I can create web sites using ASP.
So is it possible to create full web site with Silverlight? Or does Silverlight only support web forms?
Yes I suppose you could.
However, would it be the right choice for your target market?
Silverlight market share : 65%
Flash market share : 95%
Javscript - pretty much everyone
HTML - everyone
If you're tarketing the whole world, personally I wouldn't use silverlight for the whole site, just for features that required it (and even then, I'd write a HTML only backup version for people who don't have silverlight).
However, if you're writing it for a company that you know has silverlight installed and you're familiar with silverlight then go for it!
theoretically it's possible, but I don't think it's really recommended when some environments stop supporting plug-ins as java/flash/silverlight...
I suppose Html5 is the best choice for web development.

I am trying to find out if I can get notified when a site is down, or when a service running under WAS is no longer running.
I don't want to code a monitoring tool, I am sure there must be something out there...
I'm using this
http://tools.pingdom.com/
Beside the cool online tools you have a subscription for monitoring your site.
I found a couple more, haven't used them. These seem totally free while pingdom tools is only free for one site.

I also had this need, so I created an open source app called Pinger. You can do unlimited URLs with intervals of your choosing. The docs has instructions for getting running on Heroku quickly:
https://github.com/austinthecoder/pinger
I personally use Content Site Monitor. It has a really simple and cool web interface that allows you to view your site’s up-time statistics on a desktop or mobile screen. It’s easy to configure your monitoring parameters as well.
It doesn't just ping your server to make sure that it's alive. It allows you to specify certain content/keywords that you want to monitor. It will send you alert email if the content/keywords are missing from your site or if your site goes down.
Best of all, it’s free to monitor up to 3 sites!
