Configuring IIS for asp.net in windows vista

In Vista , by defualt the windows authentication feature for IIS is checked off. In order to debug or to create web application from vs 2005, you must check this on. This is located under programs and features option in control panel.



Now to enable it, go to IIS manager.In the featured view , go to authenticaton to enable it.



Also,you must also need to turn the asp.net impersonation on.

Finally , in order to be able to load asp.net web projects (which needs the frontpage server extenstion) , you must install the IIS compatibiliy layer under programs and features option(required).

Finally, i have found that those who use skype, they cant possibly turn their IIS to running state and get protocol violation in loading web project. Therefore to avoid that, turn off the port 80 check under connection tab(skype).

Have fun.

Atlas: Assertion Failed: Could not find an HTML element with ID “ContentView_PageLayout_xxxx_xxxx” for control of type “Sys.UI.Control”

This is a common error in atlas when you put a atlas updateProgress inside a panel with panel.visible = false. Toggling panel is a common task when you create a wizard like application. Therefore, in order to make it happen, all is needed is to put a dummy reference to the updateprogress control's clientId.

Which looks something like...

<asp:Panel id="dummyControlPanel">
<div id=ctl00_SomePage_controlName" />
</asp:Panel/>

Now, with the script manager's partial rendering set to true, atlas framework wont complain about that anymore, but before turning on the actual panel that holds the progress panel, you have to set dummyControlPanel.Visible= false, so that altas framework does not get confused in initializing control with duplicate Id.

WINFS (Windows Future Storage)

Highly anticipated WINFS is not shipped with Windows Vista RTM, It is still under development, from some blogs i found out that it will be released with an update

Javascript and Google Searchbot

Let's say you have made an online document management software, which is built with ajax flavor. No matter , how well is your app, it can turn out to be worthless, if people cant discover the right doc through their search keys that your app is supposed to give.

Yesterday , i have found a tiny research work of a guy, who proved it right that contents generated by javascript can never be indexed by a search engine (ex. Google).

As we all know search engines cant never execute javascript.Therefore,the growing number of ajax apps could lead goggle to think in different way for their search algorithm or it just don't matter.

My Vista experience

I was planning to install vista in my hp core duo laptop , since its beta release , but in blogs and forums was said by most people, the OS is not yet ready, made me think twice. Until, after the Jan 30 world wide release , I finally decided to try it on my own.

Therefore, one fine morning, I bought a Vista Business Edition DVD. I wanted to do a clean installation. I backed up everything and boot the pc with Vista DVD. I was really astonished to see the great improvement of installation process of windows, the installation UI is far advanced and it not only safely removed my existing Windows XP to a separte windows.old folder with settings and documents , but also detected all my hardware(note: my laptop is vista capable) with no pain.

After installation , my network card is behaving normally, I have successfully installed VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 , although i have to install SQL server SP2 and VS SP1, though it was not required but recommended.

The Aero is working fine, I really liked 3D menu switching feature, and the new ready boost feature (you can use a flash drive as system memory) of vista really rocks.

I will keep you posted with more in coming days....
