I am currently building an ASP.NET Web Application with CRUD elements in it. I'm using SQL Server for my database and I installed the necessary NuGet Packages I needed such as: Microsoft.EFCore.Sqlserver and Microsoft.EFCore.Tools. I also tried searching for solutions online but no luck. I'm not really sure what's causing the problem because in my other project before this, everything was working fine. I rechecked if that project was still fine and it was. So I'm totally lost.
I also double checked if I was using the right server name and I was not using the same database as the other project that I made last time.

First time posting a question so apologies for anything I'm doing wrong.
I have a webfarm of 4 IIS servers running windows server 2016 which uses an azure file storage account for its webfiles. It also save its shared configuration files to the same azure file storage account. This webfarm is then behind an azure load balancer.
Everything works fine, until part of the website code adds an IIS binding. This then causes all the servers to display the error below:
Could not load file or assembly 'EntityFramework,...etc" The parameter
is incorrect. (Image attached for full error).
The only way to resolve this error is to clear the asp.net temporary files from the C drive of all the servers and run IISRESET on each box.
Any ideas?
So this was a mystery but the following changes have resolved the issue. I'm not sure which combination has fixed it, but this might help someone who has a similar issue.
Recreate website in IIS using new App pool.
Removed individual IIS bindings and replaced with wildcard (we had a really old-school system before where we had 100s of binding, maybe one of these was corrupted).
Thanks for your help!
I'm using MSpec to drive some automated UI tests using Selenium WebDriver. Much like the examples I found online. I'm having problems getting it to take screenshot when the test fails.
I saw a comment on another issue where it works because they have a ResultSupplementer in the sample web specs. However, ResultSupplementer does not seem to exist in the latest version of Mspec (0.9.1).
Is there a different way to do this in the latest version of mspec? Ultimately, I'm going to generate HTML reports as TeamCity artifacts and include the screenshot on any failing specs.
I've updated the samples for the latest version of MSpec (in short, you need to implement ISupplementSpecificationResults yourself).
I've also merged the solutions and converted the MVC project to Nancy. You'll find that there's a bit more infrastructure-related code that grew over the last couple of years and works around various things, like
status codes 4xx and 5xx logged by IIS Express
IIS and Chrome Driver ports bound by other processes
page objects access the web driver with a high-level API
I use Paket for dependency management because it's far more powerful than plain NuGet
All that said, you need to run msbuild.exe mspec-samples.sln and then All-Specs.cmd. I've also checked that a TeamCity build creates screenshots.
I had a Drupal website in drupal 6.x When i wanted to upgrade it to 7.x, the custom theme i was using was absolutely outdated, so i imported my Zen subtheme from another website. For doing that, i just copied the folders "zen" and "mytheme" from the other installation to this one. Then i selected "mytheme" as the current theme and changed some little things to adapt it.
The fact is now i'm experiencing the following problems:
I can't auto-update nothing. It downloads the files but then it stacks (and leaves the site in Maintenance Mode).
I can't run update.php. I can go on until i reach the "Run updates" step, which shows a blank screen. This is the main issue, i think, as it evidences -in my oppinion- a problem of communication between the site and the database.
In the Webform module i can't select "File" as a Field Type. This one is not that important, but it may be relevant for someone who knows more than me.
Edit:
Recently i migrated from a Shared to a VPS server. When i migrated, the subdomain in which i was experiencing the issue threw an incompatibility related to the lenght of the password of the database. I changed the password and it started to work again. This may help somebody for helping me. Thanks!
I am trying to publish a little app which runs fine on the dev machine, but when I install it on a fresh win7 machine with no office installed. When I try parts of the app that rely on access DB I get this error. Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I have been at this for a couple hours now and not sure what the problem is. I went to Build Configuration Manager and set the Platform to X86 from everything I have been reading everyone says to do this and it should work this hasn't done anything.
I am also using installshield but I don't see any prereqs for access db engine or anything.
Anyone know what I need to do to get this app to work on other windows machines?
I had a similar situation where my app needed a specific db provider. I added it as a prerequisite in InstallShield. Go to Tools / Prerequisite Editor to add a new prereq to your install project. On the Conditions tab, you will most likely want to make sure that a registry key exists for the provider you want.
Then on the Files to Include tab, add a reference to a local file (or url) for the provider you need.
Not a complete answer, but hopefully gets you going in the right direction.
I have just completed (basically) a beginner's database application with SQL Server and Visual C#. I am using Visual C# Express, not the full-scale Visual Studio thing, which apparently makes deploying the application properly a bit more complicated. I've seen where some other people have asked about how to deploy such an application from that IDE, but I'm not able to fully understand and use some of the answers that they've been getting back.
Therefore I must ask how to deploy this application properly, but I must also ask that there be a simple walkthrough given. College doesn't teach much about how to deploy these things, so I'm very newbish at it. Thanks!
I don't know of an automated way to deploy the database. If it's the first time the database is hitting the server, I backup on the source, and restore on the target...simple.
As far as the code, here's what I do:
Publish (right-click, Publish) the code to a local directory (I use C:\Websites\SiteName).
Use and ftp client to promote the output to the server.
Make any necessary adjustments to the web.config to point correctly to your target database.
When and if you need to make changes later, you might want to consider a tool I use for this purpose, BeyondCompare. It can perform a diff between your local files and the target site via FTP, and tell you exactly what you need to deploy to make it work. This won't detect changes in your db, however, though there are plenty of Sql diff tools along the same lines. My general principle is "make the local site work perfectly, and then make the target site just like the local site".
Things to watch for in #3 above are that the target address is right in the connection string, along with whatever security credentials you will need to connect to the db.
HTH.
