if you are also new to IIS7 like me and have tried to deploy an ASP.net web site to IIS7, you must have faced the same problem i was facing which was so annoying. i was trying to deploy a web application to IIS7 running on vista home premium. deployment was ok, but when i was trying to access the site i was receiving the following error

CS0016: Could not write to output file 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\… ‘Access is denied.’

i had no clue why this was happening as everything seemed to be ok for me.

So, I figured, “OK this is probably a permissions issue” as I have encountered similar before in XP, where the ASPNET user account needed to be added. I also know that in Vista this account is called “NETWORK SERVICE”. I then update the permissions for the “Temporary ASP.NET Files” folder in the .NET Framework folder, eagerly get back to my browser, hit F5.. Boom. No dice, same error message.

After doing some digging on the Internet I found out that

I also need to set the permissions for the C:\Windows\Temp folder!

To resolve, ensure your permissions are correct for both temp directories:

• Browse to “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{Vers.}\”.
• Right click the “Temporary ASP.NET Files” folder.
• Click “Properties”.
• Click the “Security” tab.
• Click “Edit” and confirm the UAC prompt.
• Click the “Add” button.
• In the “Enter Object Name” field, enter “NETWORK SERVICE”.
• Click “Check Names”, it should become underlined to confirm it is OK.
• Click OK.
• With the “NETWORK SERVICE” user selected, in the "Permissions for..” list, check the “Full Control – Allow” check box.
• Click “Apply” and “Yes” to the security prompt.
• Finally click “OK” to close the properties dialog.
• Repeat the above steps on the “C:\Windows\Temp” folder as well! (i.e. browse to “C:\Windows”, right click “Temp”, click “Properties” etc. etc.).

To be honest, I wasn’t sure I believed it at first. But I deleted all temp files from both folders and reset/removed the permissions, and the error reared its ugly head again.

I hope this helps any others with the same problem save time!

i am sure these you hear about REST, so want to know what rest is? then have a look at the following definition

Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web. As such, it is not strictly a method for building "web services." The terms “representational state transfer” and “REST” were introduced in 2000 in the doctoral dissertation of Roy Fielding, one of the principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification.

REST strictly refers to a collection of network architecture principles which outline how resources are defined and addressed. The term is often used in a looser sense to describe any simple interface which transmits domain-specific data over HTTP without an additional messaging layer such as SOAP or session tracking via HTTP cookies. These two meanings can conflict as well as overlap. It is possible to design a software system in accordance with Fielding’s REST architectural style without using HTTP and without interacting with the World Wide Web.It is also possible to design simple XML+HTTP interfaces which do not conform to REST principles, and instead follow a model of remote procedure call. The difference between the uses of the term “REST” therefore causes some confusion in technical discussions.

here are some good links to know REST better

i found a set of usefull samples for .net BCL (base class library). you can take them at the following link:

hi,

as you may know c# is missing the nice and usfull IsNumeric function which is available in VB.net. but it is a trivial task to implement a generic equvelant function for it. look at the following code. it will return true if the value is numeric and false if the value is false.

working extensively on XML these days, i was in need a good tool which has the ability to evaluate XPath queries. i have been using XML Notepad for a long time and really like the tool but there is not feature in the tool to evaluate Xpath queries. searching around i found XML Explorer. the tool supports so many functions and it is really fast. You need to work on xml like me, take the tools from here

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'

Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh?
