You'll create publish profile transformation files in later tutorials after you create the publish profiles that they go with. An example of a setting that depends on build configuration rather than destination environment is the debug attribute. For a Release build, you typically want debugging disabled regardless of which environment you are deploying to.
Therefore, by default the Visual Studio project templates create Web. Here is the default Web. This will be done every time you deploy a Release build. If there's an error while the application runs, the application displays a generic error page in place of the system-generated error page, and it uses the Elmah NuGet package for error logging and reporting. The customErrors element in the application Web.
To see the error page, temporarily change the mode attribute of the customErrors element from "RemoteOnly" to "On" and run the application from Visual Studio. Cause an error by requesting an invalid URL, such as Studentsxxx. To see the error log, replace everything in the URL after the port number with elmah.
Don't forget to set the customErrors element back to "RemoteOnly" mode when you're done. On your development computer it's convenient to allow free access to the error log page, but in production that would be a security risk. For the production site, you want to add an authorization rule that restricts error log access to administrators, and to make sure that the restriction works you want it in test and staging also. Therefore this is another change that you want to implement every time you deploy a Release build, and so it belongs in the Web.
Open Web. The Transform attribute value of "Insert" causes this location element to be added as a sibling to any existing location elements in the Web. There is already one location element that specifies authorization rules for the Update Credits page.
In Solution Explorer , right-click Web. A page opens that shows you the development Web. In the preview, you might notice some additional changes that you didn't write transforms for: these typically involve the removal of white space that doesn't affect functionality.
When you test the site after deployment, you'll also test to verify that the authorization rule is effective. Security Note Never display error details to the public in a production application, or store that information in a public location. Attackers can use error information to discover vulnerabilities in a site. It is an example that was chosen in order to illustrate how to handle a folder that the application must be able to create files in.
A common scenario is to have Web. For example, an application that calls a WCF service might need a different endpoint in test and production environments. So if you are still interested at this point scroll on down and continue reading First examine the Solution Explorer view of the Web Setup Project Take note of the dependencies discovered by the project already all I had to do was add the output of the project listed above WebSetup1 and save it and these dependencies were discovered automatically using the api to see what system files were referenced by my program a.
Net Library Assembly in this case. You can see Microsoft has done much to make the task of creating an installation easier to do. Also note that the dependencies have the crossed out circle to the left of them.
That is because since these are system files I don't want them included as part of my installation file and they should be installed on the target system before my file gets added to a new system. That could be part of a Condition make note of the term that needs to be fulfilled in order for the installation to proceed more on Conditions later on. Next examine the properties window for the Web Setup project Most of these entries are optional with the exception of ProductCode and ProductName these entries fortunately are automatically generated for you.
You might want consider using a different Product Name as it should reflect the name you gave your program good naming is very helpful, really think about it a bit Notice the next image below in this case the Primary Output has been selected I added it by right clicking the bin directory and selecting "Add Project Output" and selecting the output from my Web Part Project. I still needed to do more here in my particular case I needed to add another folder called "wpcatalog" as this is where my Web Part DWP files need to go on the web server that I would deploy too.
In the case of the. Simple enough altogether but I know there is more to do yet and some things I won't get into in this article. I next selected the root folder Web Application Folder to change the properties view for the root of the installation. The following image is the properties for the main root folder here I had to do some things different then a normal Web Setup because my main project is a Web Part.
In this case my root folder is the main directory of the web site and the entry VirtualDirectory is empty which indicates use the root directory as the base to install too and I am only adding or using two particular folders.
MSI has some nice safeguards built in that protect you from doing stupid things. For one it won't create a folder if the folder exists additionally MSI won't overwrite newer files where the version info in the file indicates a newer version is currently installed.
That is something to consider when developing software always add and update your version number as it protects you from overwriting users files if they happen to have a newer version then that included in your installation routine.
Lots of things to think about when creating installations nothing worse then creating an install that causes problem and it is a great way to get yourself fired or sued so keep such thoughts in mind when developing an installation routine. In this case I am not adding any registry entries as they are not required for a Web Part Assembly great. Yes it is good in this case other MSI authoring utilities I have used allow me to import entries from the current system I am developing the software on.
For instance Wise and Install Shield both do this and it is a real time saver as all I need to do to simply the creation of an installation is to actually compile my output to locations I would use for a final installation. I never used to do this till I became involved in creating installation and have since then maintained the habit just in case I actually do have to create a setup.
I wouldn't do this in the earliest stages of development but eventually you will have to think about where you are going to deploy your files so the earlier you do this the easier it will be to do. IntelliSense does not show these attributes because they depend upon the value of the type attribute. The IntelliSense system provides validation checking and displays a squiggly line under any text that does not validate. The following code example illustrates the initial contents of a Web.
Default settings are given for the compilation and the authentication elements. To turn on ASP. NET debugging, all you would do is change the debug attribute of the compilation element to true. All of the elements that can appear within the system. NET Configuration Settings. When storing sensitive information in a configuration file for an application, you should encrypt the sensitive values using protected configuration.
