ASP.NET application deployment
-
hi, Can anyone please provide me with some guide or references for deploying an ASP.NET web application that uses: - Crystal Report 9 (Integerated with VS.NET 2003) - A web service deployed at some remote server. - SQL Server 2000 database I am going for a custom action to get some parameters such as database server name, database name, etc. from the user at deployment time. I want to insert these parameters in the web.config file of the application during the setup. is there any way to do this? thanx in advance ☺«««DTA»»»☺

What installer are you using ? web.config is just an xml file, so in theory there's no problem with doing this, but I don't know if the standard installer package will allow it. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

We used InstallShield DevStudio 9 to do this. That has flexible and easy to use Custom Forms and after collecting all info, we can have a Custom Installer class to be invoked, which can generate proxy, update web.config etc. Deepak Kumar Vasudevan Personal Web: http://vdeepakkumar.netfirms.com/ I Blog At: http://deepak.blogdrive.com/

Hi there, + To deploy Crystal Reports, you can take a look at some documents below: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/crystlmn/html/crcondeployingcrystalreportsinnetapplications.asp[^] http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/crnet_deployment.pdf[^] + Like Christian asked, I have no idea which installer you are going to use, and I assume you'll use Visual Studio, then you can create a web setup project to deploy an asp.net web application as well as a web service project. You can read the documentation for more information. Deploying Applications and Components[^] + To execute the SQL scripts, you simply create a custom action in the setup project, and add an installer class to your application project. In the instller class, you override the Install method to execute the SQL files and update the web.config file. To get some information from the user while installing you can add a user interface dialog to do that. You can take a look at some walkthroughs provided in the above link for examples.

i AM using the Visual Studio setup project. i like the custom action idea by minhpc_bk! infact i think that its the only way to do this (when using the VS.NET setup project.) i suppose that this custom action has to be run at the commit event..right? as the web.config wont be there to edit during the installation. so if this is right, then can any of you guide me on how to use the user provided information in this custom action and how to find the path where the web.config will get installed to? some tutorials would be great!!! again thanx a lot to all of you guys! regards ☺«««DTA»»»☺
