       surywebdesi.web701.discountasp.net

and try to run geting Server Error in '/' Application. Parser Error Message: The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty

                                     need help thx sury

I'm creating a video for you Sury.

A lot of people are having the same trouble...

(Local Express DB to remote hosted SQL Server DB.)

The video will cover how to handle this problem.

 Salute,

   Mark

i have asp.net page containing data from database. i can add products to cart. To add to cart, i change the bit from 0 to 1 and then show all products whose bit is 1 on add_to_cart page. but this situation is true for only one user. when another users login then that cart bit is already 1 for that user.

i want that for all users must access the original database i.e cart field must 0 not 1.

help please

Everything works as demonstrated in the video, however, if I login under admin and view a profile secure page (e.g. manage users, etc.) and then login under the user account (in this case "mike"), then I'm not able to see it as excpected, however, if I hit backspace a few times, I can because then I'm logged in as admin.

How can I keep that from happening, I think it has something to do with having the page expire, but how is that done in asp.net?

Also, is it a good idea or OK to hide the login box by putting it inside the login view so that if you are logged in you won't see it?

Thanks

Please help help help

When i run from visual studio it runs smoothly but when i publish to IIS or to remote server it gives me a user/password error

Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again

Zarak,

I am by means no expert but I have the answer to your problem after many frustrating hours myself. After you publish your site.

1. Be sure and manually copy your ASP_DATA directory to your website.

2. Edit the permissions on your ASP_DATA directory at your IIS Site. Make sure IIS/Users have modify persmissions.

Hope this fixes it for you.

thank you

thank you asp.net to provide a best resoucre for students to understand new technology with videos... again thanks

I really like this guy.

He knows what he is saying. Training at his best!

is there a post or tutorial that can point me in the direction of implementing this type of security on a webserver which doesn't have VWD installed. can i just append the data file created on my testing server to the database on my production server?

this video is ok........

but i want another video for the same purpose(roles and membership),instead of using asp.net websiteconfiguration,we have to write code fully

nice video.

Can you please do some demo using databases other than SQL server db?

Thanks

shwe

hi Guys,

I followed the instruction and everything worked on my local server, I want to know , how to upload or make it work on my hosting server, what needs to be there inorder to make it work on internet?

I will appreciate your reply.

Thanks,

Adeel

hi,nice video.

on createuser wizard, you are taking current user's name that is logged on, not the newly created user. therefore

OnDeactivate method it should be like this:

Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, ListBox1.SelectedValue);

regards,

tezel

great info but I got lost in the part adding code to select user roles.

Where is this written so I can copy it?

thanks

Hi all, I'm from Bangladesh. Here ASP.net is very popular for building web-aps. I've got a lot of help from the videos. But if all the videos is in C# then it will be so fruitful for me.

Hi,

I Like Asp.net

Hello,

I have sql express 2005. And I want to create and be able to have access to the AspnetDB under sql express management studio and set up the web.config file to point to this database. I have followed all the videos created by Joe Stagner about asp.ent security and roles, but I don't seem to benefit a lot out of it.

Any help please?

Great video, thanks for your time doing this, it is a real time saver.

It looks like you were working on a video to help solve a problem many users are having (see above March 28,2008) , it is out yet?

I am having the same problem, the application works fine on my local server, hides the tree for those denied access, and shows for those given access.  But when I publish it on the Server, it will not allow me to login, I get an error (see March 26, 2008).  It also shows all the Tree branches on the server, when I am not logged on.

I'm hoping this works with webservices like in this video.

www.asp.net/.../video-283.aspx

nice video

An excellent video as are most of others.

It would be nice though with most of these videos to have advice or "traps to avoid" when copying files to a host server on the Internet as this is what a lot of people will be doing.

err dis the other video about uploading to SqlServer ever get done? I cant seem to find it

i want create new website whatis the procedure of it? i doubt start from master page is better,plz tell me

nice video .

its very useful .

i got error at smtp setting how to find smtp server name.

thanks

getting this error on the security tab of the administration tool...

There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.

any ideas?

ignore previous post, thanks

thanks alot

Nice Video.

nice video indeed....it helped me a lot!!

thnx

I'm getting this error in creating a new wizard step

"Compiler Error Message: BC30311: Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'.

" in this line "Roles.AddUsersToRole(User.Identity.Name, Me.DropDownList1.SelectedValue)"

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I'm just a dope...

Roles.AddUsersToRole(User.Identity.Name, Me.DropDownList1.SelectedValue) should be...

Roles.AddUserToRole(User.Identity.Name, Me.DropDownList1.SelectedValue)

Ok, now you added 3 roles Administrator, Power User, and User. In the costom steps you don't want a new user to assign them self Administrator priviliages. So how do you assigned them users priviliages automaticly with out letting them choose thier own priviliages roles?

Now a new user just created a account on your web site. How can the Administrator of the web site gets an e-mail saying that a new user just created an new account.

At this point the system Administrator can go change the roles of this new user if they wants to.

i want to work with silver light so whick book i read if any other person have knowledge this book plz reply

hi everybody!

Thanks for the video! But I have a questions. How do I logout user (in example with a button )?

Sorry I'm noob)

Sorry,I've forgot about this one: how do I change security rules for the password? I don't need such secure password. Can I have "111" type?

This is really a great tutorial. Thank you so much.

ya i agree the above points......its really very helpful my s/w industry life

I don't get it???? I stop the video after each step and emulate the same thing on my end. I can't get anything to work with security and passwords. What can I post so someone can see????? I do agree.. it is a great video!

I didn't get very far. I can't even load up the template he explained. 2008 has a different directory structure

Hi Mark, this worked on my Visual Studio environment but failed when I deployed to a standalone IIS - the SQL server was not found eventhough the files are there and the folder has appropriate read permissions. I would like to keep the local Express DB in the new environment. Any idea what the problem is?

Cheers,

Nim

goodnewsjim:

Please watch video[10] regarding Masterpages first. In that video, you will learn how to build a masterpage and save it as a web site template. Then you can use that template to build website in this video.

This video doesn't really explain everything. After you publish the website you're going to run into problems. I think a lot of people are going to need that extra week. I hope they make some serious improvements to vs2010. Also most sites have an image at signing up for security or email for verification...There's none of that here.

Hello,

does everybody know what are the requirements to create a user password in the Web Site Administration Tool?? I tried about 50 variations and nothing is working. The Videos are nice but they should go more in detail. So can everybody give an answer??

i want to create mail account so plz help me

because your vedio so nice
