I'm developing an asp.net web site to work on mobile devices. Is going ok and works fine with android and iphone. I've no got around to testing it with blackberry in my balcberry curve. When i first tried everything looked good b ut then i noticed that some od the autopost back on dropdowns etc did not work. Some research time later i turn out out that by default that blackberries do not support this and that I need a Blackberr.browser file to allow that type of functionality to work. I following this link...
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/BlackberryASPNET.aspx
After doing this my blakberry will not load the site at all, i just get connection timeouts. So i tried removing the blackberry.browser file, read loading the assembley in an attempt to get back to where is was, but still the site will not connect. I've refreshed iis, recycled app pools and even rebooted. I have a QA site on another box that the blackberry will connect to, but my development machine it does not like anymore:-(.
Any one got any ideas in what is going on?
Thanks for any help.

I have also suffered with the pain of developing (actually optimizing) websites for BlackBerry and Symbian, and I understand your suffering.
As you're using BlackBerry Curve, I suppose you're using a MDS server simulator on your development machine to let the BlackBerry Emulator connect to Internet.
Although I am not sure if you're even using a simulator.
I also have come across some simulators which just won't connect to the Internet no matter how hard you try with MDS server and all.
I hope you're not stuck with any issue related to the above said things mate.
Are you trying to connect your localhost with your BB?

Basically I've been hosting a website on Windows Azure for a couple of months now.
Previously everything has been running smoothly. However all the sudden my site is loading INCREDIBLY slow (we're talking 20s load time). I have no idea what happend - I was running shared mode and before this point everything was running fine.
Below are my stats for the last 7 days (I don't know what else to upload):
I tried getting support but apparently my plan does not provide technical support.
I decided to upgrade to standard hosting but it's been 30 minutes now and my site is still running just as slow.
Also when I debug it locally everything runs just fine. Furthermore my I'm not connecting to any databases so what could the issue be????
Sometimes the site doesn't even load at all and displays errors such as:
500 - Internal server error
502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.
What could be the problem - what am I supposed to do? Apparently Microsoft provide absolutely NO support so I guess I'm simply forced to switch to another hosting provider if I cannot figure out the issue myself?
have you found something that has increased load(on lines of user hits,transactions) on your sites? since you are running shared mode, you are sharing resources with multiple sites on the same server which could be the reason.
It might be an indication for you to go to dedicated mode.
Good day.
Background: ASP.NET MVC 3 / SignalR.
I'm developing typical chat component which will be used in a big portal. I wrote small emulator which opens new window with chat component and new SignalR connection in it.
The problem:
Everything works fine, but: Suddenly i noticed that if i open more than X windows/tabs with same component in one browser - server stops to receive any responses from any clients connected with it.
The X is:
5 for IE and Chrome
14 for FF.
I suppose it's a browser issue, because the value differs from one to another. Additionally i noticed that requests can stay pending for minutes! And there is no timeout..
Maybe someone faced with something like this, or know what can cause this strange behavior?
Thanx in advance, Jan.
I'm going to assume you're using IIS 7/7.5 on windows 7. If you are indeed using Windows7 then you need to use IIS Express since it only supports 10 concurrent connections (Client OS limit). Alternatively you can use Windows Server to get the full benefits of IIS.
This is the first post in three days of googling that came close to my experience. I am using the .NET client and have tried isolating the issue by creating an app with just the problem areas. The difference in our situation is this: I don't seem to have some connection limit on the client. In fact, I have no issues until I deploy my .Net hub to the windows server 2008 hyper vps. IIS express runs everything as smooth as butter. I've checked to make sure the asynchronous services and features are running and I've followed the performance tuning articles that david mentions in the documentation, adjusting the setting for thread queue maximums and the like. Note that the minute-two minute delays you describe are identical to mine. I updated to the latest version of SignalR (.4) from nuget and it broke my solution for some reason.
Can you tell me what version you're on? I suspect it could have something to do with security on the physical host where my vps is running. I am going to try it on a different virtualization platform to rule out hyper v issues.
Please, see my answer here: Is there a way to get number of connections in Signalr hub group?
The idea is to overwrite connectionid.
I have a newly deployed mvc app on a win2008 server box.
I am trying to troubleshoot some very strange ie6 behaviour when over https. if a ie6 user connects to the webserver over https a simple post back or ajax call takes around 1 minute to complete, no errors are raised on the browser, it just sits there ticking away for about a minute, then completes as expected (both server and client as expected). the same post back or ajax call over http works in < 2 seconds.
There are no errors or events raised on the server, so i am flying blind here.
has anyone experienced this behaviour before, any ideas? with no errors or events to work with im not sure where to start. any other browser over https works fine, just ie6.
cheers

a quick follow up on this one. on further investigation the issue was only occurring on windows 2000 ie6 machines, xp and ie6 was ok. I guess from these results there must be something in the encryption/decryption framework on windows 2000 conflicting with the iis7 server.
I have managed to convince the windows 2000 ie6 users that its time to upgrade!
This brings up another question, when, if at all, do you think its acceptable to block certain versions of software from your web apps?

This problem is beginning to annoy.
After my machine (Vista Ultimate) has been up for a while, running my ASP.NET web site project for debugging in VS2008 results in Internet Explorer "hanging". It doesn't seem to get past the network access stage, you know when it says "Loading web site", or "Waiting for".
I've attached a screenshot of IE. Note the status bar. It stays like that forever. I have to restart it and cross my fingers for it to work the next time. Invariably, it doesn't.
This happened with IE7 and IE8.
I am using the ASP.NET Web Development Server/Cassini. I have tried restarting this each time which seemed ot have got it, but then not so any more.
I'm up to date on patches.

So thankfully Microsoft have finally released Security Essentials.
This meant I could de-install AVG (Free and paid-for versions) from my machine.
Hey presto, it works!
I would check the following
1) that your not starting IE against the webserver againt the wrong port, if your using the development IIS then it changes ports at times. That combined with you setting up the browser to launch against a the old port could create this problem.
2) Stop the local IIS and restart it (Again make sure your pointing towards the correct port)
3) Make sure you dont have any hung IE in task manager ( this happens to me sometimes ). Basiclly you have a IE in task manager that uses less then 1mb of ram and does not show on the taskbar, if thats the case kill them.
This doesn't sound, strictly speaking, like a hang. Can that tab/other tabs be navigated to other sites? Is your machine configured to use a proxy?
Is the request actually sent? Using Fiddler2 from www.fiddler2.com with the URL http://ipv4.fiddler:56125/ will show you, and help determine where in IE the problem might be.
I just had a similar problem that took about a week to unravel. Using AVG 9 Business Edition.
I'm on a Windows 7 machine with Visual Studio 2010 SP1, debugging ASP.NET sites running in IIS, with the same "hang" behavior you're seeing. Disabling LinkScanner and Online Shield in AVG fixed the problem.
I have a lot of people that ask me to fix their computers. Usually it is "slow computer" or "my computer has pop-ups," etc. In other words they have viruses and spyware. I thought I could use a remote program to do it, instead of them brining their computer to me or me traveling to their house..
I thought of UltraVNC, though I'm not sure how I would get them to use it. What I would like to have is a program they can download from my website.
What program would you recommend for this? Remote Desktop? VNC? Something else? I'm happy to pay a small fee if necessary to make things as seamless as possible. Word of mouth is valuable and a good referral for an easy to work with computer person (me) is worth that monthly or one time fee.
I have Vista, most will have Vista Home Premium or XP Home. I have Vista Home Premium and Mac OS X. I can use Linux if necessary. I just don't have it installed right now.
Thanks.
EDIT: Is there an alternative to copilot? I like it but I'm afraid to stake everything on one provider.
https://www.copilot.com/
It's made to be simple so even the most novice computer users can figure it out.
Copilot helps you fix someone's computer problems by letting you connect to their computer, see what they see, and control their mouse and keyboard to help fix the issue.
It's nice because they just go to the site and enter the code you give them. The installation is simple from there.

LogMeIn has a free version that works very well. It runs in the user's system tray and you can login and control their computer as long as they have the program running. The free version has a few less features, but they're mostly luxuries instead of necessities.
Team Viewer is a desktop sharing remote control support tool. It is free for non-commercial, personal use.
There are a few different options:
Remote Desktop: Nice interface, integrates with Windows very well (I had no trouble connecting to my Vista desktop from my XP laptop). I think your client would need to have Windows XP pro; XP home does not have the Remote Desktop Server.
RealVNC: Nice interface, the free version is very useful. Encrypted connections are available with the non-free version.
There are others (like Copilot), but I have only used Remote Desktop and RealVNC.
With either of these, you need to make sure port-forwarding is setup if they have a router, and that the firewall whitelists the program.
Windows XP has built-in "Windows Assist" which lets you send an invite to another Windows machine (typically via e-mail) and allows you to remotely control the machine with them watching. This is a nice option because it is already built into Windows (albeit not as well known as RemoteDesktop or LogMeIn).
The advantage over Remote Desktop is that the user can see what you are doing to their machine and control can be passed back and forth.
This link has the steps to do this.
