.NET Framework 2.0

I have some questions about ASP.NET applications developed in C# along with .NET Framework 2.0

If am using third party controls, say Developer Express then do they just get compiled in the application when it's hosted..?

Or I need to do some special installation on hosting server for that..?

Which hosting companies are good for .NET Framework 2.0 hosting..?

Cheers :)

No, its assembly will also need to be uploaded along with the rest of your website.

2... I like www.jodohost.com

Hi, long time no see. Hope things are fine :) Thanks for the quick reply.

How do I find this assemblies..? Bin directory perhaps..!

I am looking for a host which can give me 5 GB space and 2.5 GB SQL Server Database size which I can't really afford at this time, know anyone who can do this..?

Bin Directory, yes. If your assembly is not there, it may be in the GAC. Since your host won't allow you to access the GAC, you will need to set that assembly's CopyLocal property to true (Which puts it in the BIN directory)

Thanks :) I will try that one out :thumb:

Is there a way to make package using some package and deployment wizard in ASP.NET project..?

Unless you have a server edition OS, you wont be able to do that unless your max concurrent users will be two and your http-keep-alives are off. And if you don't know what I mean by that, then you are really in for a world of hurt.

Now, as for a hosting suggestion that isnt cheap but is REALLY GOOD and has a REALLY GOOD price, use www.1and1.com

I use them for 6 sites, all ASP.NET and two are running SQL Server backends. I also get 2 GB FTP space (yes, two GIG) and 2 TB Monthly traffic (yes, two TERRAbytes) and I pay 19.95 per month to host ALL SIX. (They share the same space/traffic)

And all of their support personnel are Microsoft Certified.

I will be running Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 so number of connections are not a problem :)

Among the 2 GB space how big the SQL Database can be..? Not sure but I can't see any reference on the site which tells me which .NET Framework they are offering and will they offer SQL Server 2005.?

Wrack, hello :wave:

If you add a web deployment project to your solution, you can build this project and it creates a folder with ALL the files your app needs, web pages, compiled DLLs, 3rd party DLLs, recource files etc. You then just literally copy the entire folder to your webserver and point ya VD at it. VERY handy imo.

Re: .NET Framework 2.0

Or "Publish" the website and it'll copy/ftp the files for you :)

Hey woka :wave: Good to see you :woof woof:

So just create a website project solution as I normally do and then add web deployment project to it..? This directory you say it will create, will it have bin directory..?

Thanks plenderj, does this create a MSI installation package..?

From the site:

Please note: MS SQL is only included with 1&1 Microsoft Business and Developer shared hosting plans. MS SQL databases have a maximum capacity of 200 MB.

Re: .NET Framework 2.0

Publiching it as Jamie suggested wouldn't create an install package. Adding a web project deployment project to your solution will create 1 of 4 things, ranging from just the raw files (including bin folder) that u just copy to your web server (same as publish) to a full setup package where u just run one exe, or msi, or you know...can't remember off the top of my head.

Re: .NET Framework 2.0

Publish won't take across .vb or .resx files etc etc though

So just the files which are compiled to intermediate language but not the raw source files..!
