I have a standard ASP.NET project. I have created a login control on the page and now I would like to start adding the option to register as a member on my page.
My problem is that when I click "Asp.net Configuration" in the solution explorer or under the Projects tab. Nothing opens up.
I have made sure that my project is not running, the configuration window just won't open.
SOLVED! I had exactly the same problem, Firefox was my default browser, after I reset Internet Explorer as the default browser, it worked! The configuration page is (for some silly reason) a web page, and perhaps it only jives with IE.
I had the same problem, but I didn't want to keep switching from Firefox to IE to solve the issue. Digging a bit deeper, it seems the provided URL is incomplete. You need to use the following template:
http://localhost:<port>/asp.netwebadminfiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=<projectPath>&applicationUrl=/
Hope that helps.
First check if you have an aspnetdb.mdf under the App_Data subfolder of that you previously set up the needed tables for the application services in another database.
If you haven't got these then build the solution and navigate to the page which has the login control on it. Normally ASP.NET will generate the needed database aspnetdb.mdfin the App_Data folder. Once you have that database you should be able to use the configuration which starts a web application with which you can create your users and define the roles to which they belong.
Grz, Kris.
Sometimes, if web.config file is not opening on VS editor, ASP Configuration browser page won't appear, so make sure that web.config is open in the VS editor and then try to access the Configuration.
I was having the same issue with a brand new ASP.NET project in Visual Studio 2012.
When trying to open Project --> ASP.NET Configuration from Visual Studio, it was saying: An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.
The path to my application was: E:\\_Dev\C#\Site
I changed the Path to: E:\\_Dev\Web\Site and guess what? It works.
So even the # from C# was causing an issue. This thing is very picky on special characters...

We have a asp.net app, in which index.aspx is the default document in the website, instead of default.aspx.
Index.aspx is set as start page in the project too. but when I am trying to open for example: http://localhost:2265/, 1st I was getting the default.aspx page, after I removed the default.aspx file from the solution, now I have the directory listing displayed.
I would like to get index.aspx when I am entering http://localhost:2265/, is that possible to be set in the project or only in IIS?
Thanks in advance and happy holidays, Laziale
This is controlled from the server, which could either be IIS or the development server that's bundled with Visual Studio.
If you're launching the app from within Visual Studio, then the controls can probably be found under the properties of the ASP web site/app that you're launching. You could also right click the page itself and select "Set As Startup Page".
All of this doesn't affect the behaviour of the app once it's hosted in IIS, however. You'll need to find similar settings in the IIS page - there should be many a tutorial on the web for that (I can point you to one if you're having trouble).
Hope this clears up the behaviour of default pages!
Just open your solution in VS, then select the page you would like to be the startup page and do a right click and select 'Set As Start Page' option
In your project right click on the page you want to be your landing page and click "Set as Start Page".
This will only work when you run it from Visual Studio though. If you want to do it once it's deployed you will have to use IIS or setup a redirect I believe.
So I have all the updated code, the entire solution builds. It works on everyone else's machine, however when I try and access localhost/extranet on my machine, it gives me this error:
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
Detail Error Info:
Module DirectoryListingModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler 0x00000000
Requested URL http://localhost:80/extranet/
Physical Path C:\svn\K2\trunk\appteam\web\Chatham.Web.UI.Extranet\
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous
Now I tried going into IIS7, and enabling directory browsing, this removed the error, but still didn't bring up my website. I also tried going in and disabling the default document, re-enabling it, everything, nothing worked. I've also restarted IIS a few times to no avail.
Any ideas?
It sounds like your IIS is not processing the routing rules for your application and is trying to find a default.aspx, index.htm, etc. Since it cannot, it is wanting to display the directory listings (which is why you were getting the 404.14).
I just checked my dev setup and I think that your AppPool has to be set on Integrated as opposed to Classic on the Managed Pipeline for the AppPool. I have ran into this before, there may be ways to use the Classic Pipeline, but this would/should be the quickest way to resolve your issue. To check/change the pipeline mode, click on Application Pools from the menu on the left side of IIS, find your AppPool and look in the managed pipeline column. If it is set to Classic -> Right click the AppPool, choose basic settings, then change the dropdown from Classic to Integrated.
If I am incorrect, someone please feel free to correct me on this in the comments.
Edit - Just to add, you can run an MVC app in the Classic Pipeline mode, but you have to do the IIS 6 tricks to get it to work properly. Mainly, you need to turn on wildcard script mapping for MVC to work in Classic mode, If not it expects an .aspx file (or similar) to exist for it to handle the execution pipeline over to .NET from IIS.
Causes this error is removed Global.asax file from your root directory of your site.
To solve this problem add a Global.asax file to your project.
See here: How to add Global.asax file to ASP.NET MVC4 project
In IIS, you need to find out which app pool your application is running from. Just right click the web application under Sites>Manage Web Site>Advanced Settings. The first property should be the app pool.
Now, click Application Pools. You should see a column called "Identity". Add that user to the ACL of the C:\svn\K2\trunk\appteam\web\Chatham.Web.UI.Extranet\ directory. If it just says 'ApplicationPoolIdentity', it can be a little tricky figuring out the user. If it's just running under DefaultAppPool, you can use IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool.
My solution was because I didn't have ASP.NET installed via "Turn Windows Features on and Off" so it was simple. I figured it out by enabling directory browser and trying to go to my views folder which then gave a more descriptive answer and pretty much said that there was a problem with a module because ASP.NET is not properly installed. It then dawned on my to go and install it.
Change the 'start page' by right click on the page and select 'Set as Start Page' that you want to open first when the web application starts first. This might solve your problem. :)
Also make sure in IIS Application Pool settings that Enabled 32-bit Applications under Advanced Settings is set to FALSE. I spent hours trying to fix this and that was my issue. Windows Server 2012 IIS 8.5
I solved this problem by setting exact .net framework. My website was using v4.0 version of .net.
Workaround to handle the problem:
Open command line as an administrator
Go to directory "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319"
Execute the following: aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Open IIS and change Pipeline Mode of Your application to Integrated
Hope this helps
In my case the HTTP Redirection feature was missing on the server (with IIS 10).
Adding the feature resolved the issue and the site started to load fine.
my web application open about:blank page when i tried to run it using Ctrl+F5.
i am using VS2008 C# ASP.NET web application.
also i set a start up page to the my project.
please what is this page?and how to overcome it?
thanks
Are you running IE8 for the first time via visual studio? Try browsing IE8 to google.com and running the initialization that pops up if so.
Seems your not alone: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/473541/start-without-debugging-opens-blank-page-ie8-first
If that doesn't fix it try making another browser (firefox?) your default browser.
It could be that you have an issue with your server. If you look at you rsolution then, choose property pages, check that the Start Options are correct, especially if you are not using the "default web server" (this refers to vs2010 but I assume it is similar).
I would choose 'Use Current Page" if it isn't selected.
When using Visual Studio's built in web server, every time I make a page request the standard login box pops up and asks for credentials. It doesn't work if I actually put in my credentials, so I just have to hit cancel 5 times so it will go away.
When I run the application through IIS (locally or on test server) it works just fine (no login box comes up).
Anyone know how to fix this or have any idea what might be causing it?
I assume you mean JavaScript alert box-looking login dialog, right? This dialog pops up when you make a request to a portion of website where anonymous access is disabled from IIS. It is different from ASP.NET authentication.
Do you have some portion of web site protected? Or are you making any HTTP request to external sites, like images and etc?
If your page looks ok after hitting cancel multiple times, it must be one of those HTTP request to protected file like images, css, js or whatever.
I'd look in Fiddler or Firebug to see if any request is failed when you hit cancel in that login dialog.
I'd also try clearing cache/authenticated session on the page that runs on IIS to see if it actually shows you that login dialog.
I had this same issue. However, my solution was different and the issue seemed different as well.
I had been working on a ASP.NET 2.0 web application, using VS 2008. Everything was working fine with the built-in IIS server. I hadn't opened this project for about a week and then when I chose "View in browser" in VS, I was prompted for my windows login creds. This project never did this before, so I was a bit baffled. I checked all the web.config settings and everything seemed fine. My project settings seemed correct as well. I decided to test the project by opening this same project in VS on a separate dev box on my network using a network path. I again chose "View in browser" and it worked fine. No logon prompt.
This told me that the issue wasn't with the actual web project itself, rather my dev environment. I checked all my browser settings as suggested above, and they were correct. I then compared my project settings while I had the same project (same physical files) opened in both dev boxes. I noticed a difference...
Under the Start Option in the Property Pages, the Web Server was set to use the Default Web server in both cases. However, on the box that was asking for my creds, the NTLM Authentication checkbox was selected. I unselected this and it resolved the issue.
I'm not sure how this was possible since I was opening the same project files, and would assume the project settings would be exactly the same. And the fact it was working fine a week ago really perplexed me. I chalked it up to an issue with VS 2008 on the box with the issue. I hope this helps anyone else that may be running into this issue.
This was because localhost was not in my trusted sites so it wouldn't do automatic NTLM authentication... I'm not sure why it was that way, but it was... adding localhost to the list fixed it.
In your project, there should be a vwd.webinfo file.
The following lines control authentication when debugging (in IISExpress). Set as follows to avoid all dialogs.
<VisualWebDeveloper>
<iisExpressSettings anonymousAuthentication="enabled" windowsAuthentication="disabled" useClassicPipelineMode="false"/>
</VisualWebDeveloper>
If windowsAuthentication="enabled" you may still get a dialog, even if anonymousAuthentication="enabled" :-)
I am using VS 2008 with a very simple UpdatePanel scenario.
But i cannot get UpdatePanel to work and cant seem to find out why
I have in fact reverted to a very simple example to validate it is not my code:
http://ajax.net-tutorials.com/controls/updatepanel-control/
In this example I click on either button and both text links update.
I dont get any errors, the page just behaves like a normal ASPX page.
What things do i need to check. I've been googling this for an hour and not found what I need.
Edit: Works in Visual Studio web server but not in IIS
If it's working locally, but not when deployed to a remote server, that usually indicates that you're using ASP.NET 2.0 and the ASP.NET AJAX extensions aren't installed on the remote server.
If it's a server you have administrative control over, you can download the installer here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ca9d90fa-e8c9-42e3-aa19-08e2c027f5d6&displaylang=en
If it's a web host, tell them to get their act together.
Another option would be to check your web.config. You could for example create an new Ajax enabled ASP.NET website from Visual Studio. This will generate a correct web.config. Copy over all non-ajax sections from your existing web.config and you're set. This worked for me.
