I'm wanting to use DB4o on an asp.net MVC project i'm working on but wondering if anyone
has got this working on shared hosting plan, have contacted discountasp and asked them and they said go to the forum
as they were not sure if they supported it or not or any configuration that would be needed.
but the forum wont let my post on because its all filtered to only show comments they like the look of?
anyone had any joy with this with another host and one that runs asp.net MVC as it should be run?
much appreciated

I'm not familiar with the framework, but it seems that you can just place the DLL in the bin folder and you should be set. I've done tons of projects with MVC and the same method of placing the DLL in the bin folder and worked without issues. The host I use is ReliableSite...they're cheap and don't charge $10/mo for a SQL Server database like DiscountASP does.

Telerik RadProgressArea requires Full Trust level.
As long as you do not use RadProgressArea, it should be fine with most share hosting site.

I have inherited a Classic ASP application with a Delphi COM layer. I am tasked with migrating the app to ASP.NET MVC2 and C# with web services replacing the Delphi. Due to the amount of users of the application and the fact that I'm the third developer this company has hired to do this, the company would like to migrate sections at a time. That leaves us with a mixed hybrid of Classic ASP and ASP.NET MVC2 sections. My guys and I have built the first section of the app and are ready for integrating the apples and oranges. My question is, has anyone done this? If so, how? The first attempt is creating a sub-folder in the classic app and inserting the MVC stuff into there. Doing it this way, I cannot get any urls to work. It's probably some ignorance in the MVC pathing but if anyone has any tips at all on this, combining ASP and MVC2 I would love some help.
Thanks and I apologize if this is a bit vague, I'd really just like to start a conversation or connect with someone that's done this before.
First, you need to make the subfolder in the classic app a Virtual Directory or Wep Application for MVC to work, it wont work simply dropped in a subfolder of an IIS website.
Second, if the app is authenticated, you need to figure out a way to share the authuthentication so users don't have to login every time they switch sections of the app. (Unless thats an acceptable situation, which I doubt). Sharing this authentication may involve making some changes to the existing application, or possibly not.
I wonder what is the scope of this project and why it cannot be done in one felswoop? I'm not saying doing it in phases is bad, but if that is a requirement, you'll need to address the above issues.
I think that much better way is rewrite app to MVC from scratch. No step-by-step, no mixing. It will save you a lot of pain and also it will take much less time to do, even it doesn't seem so at first sight.
Hopefully this is an easy one - though I don't seem to have much luck Googling the following:
Usually in an ASP.NET Web Application I would write - My.Application.Info.ProductName or My.Application.Info.Version, but I'm looking at an older ASP.NET Web Site and it doesn't have the Application option.
Does anyone know the equivalents?
I asked a similar question:
How should I version an ASP.NET Web Site project?
My solution was to use the assembly version of an assembly I included with my web site.
Do you mean the name as stated in the AssemblyInfo-file? In that case you can get the name by
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName()
The ASP.NET framework does a very good job of detecting when a file has changed and recompiling that file etc. I would like to be able to hook into that update process. Is this at all possible?
I might want to do this as part of an initiative to try and version web sites developed as Web Site projects, versus Web Applications, where the version is easily found in statically deployed assemblies. If I my be misdirecting my energies as there are already better way if versioning web sites, I'd still appreciate some pointers.
I don't know if you can hook into that logic at all - perhaps you could add your code to Application_OnStart as this method will fire when ASP.NET recycles the AppPool and restarts the website.
Have you tried Web Deployment projects?
Scott Gu has a blog post.
You can use ASP.NET SignalR to do it, It's real-time web for .NET
Have you tried developing a separate module for ASP.NET that keeps track of last change?
This might put you on the right path (might -- I haven't tried this).

A couple of questions regarding the role of global.asax:
Why is it not included in the Website Project in Visual Studio? Are there other ways of achieving the same functionality without this file?
If I would create a Web Application project, as far as I remember, a global.asax file would be created. If I were to delete it, would the project run?
I tried to look for some explanation regarding the global.asax compilation but didn't find any info about this.. would appreciate help/links. :)
Thanks!
An ASP.NET site can run without the global.asax file. Here is a question which talks about alternatives of global.asax file.
Even if you delete a global.asax file your site will work.
Globax.asax is not required by ASP.NET for a website to run. It is, however, very useful for application-level functionality (like unhandled exception logging).
You can add Global.asax to the website project and it will work fine.
Global.asax is not added by default for web applications. If you have it, you can delete it without problems.
Be careful to include the .compiled files when deploying the website or else the events in Global.asax will not fire.
It sounds like you are familiar with Web Application Projects, now see a Web Site "project" and wonder what's going on. In any case, I'll answer as though that were true. ;-)
In Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft introduced Web Site "projects", which are not projects - they're just directory structures on a local disk, FTP site, etc. They do many things differently from Web Application Projects, and can therefore be confusing (especially if you're like me, trying to answer people's questions, not knowing which they are using).
With Visual Studio 2005 SP1, they restored Web Application Projects. If that's what you're more familiar with, then I suggest you use them. They're real projects, just like they always were.
And, BTW, there will be a global.asax, just like there used to be...
