Unable to start debugging on the web server. The web server is not configured correctly...

Hey all:

When you build a web solution in Visual studio, if the following error message is shown:

"Unable to start debugging on the web server. The web server is not configured correctly. See help for common configuration errors. Running the web page outside of the debugger may provide further information."

There can be two reasons...

A) The directory where the web application stays may not be configured as web application.

Steps to Solve:
1. Right click the project folder & Click properties.
2. Select "Web Sharing" tab.
3. Choose the option "Share this folder" radio button & Edit Alias window will pop-up, Press OK and build the application.

B) The Frame work version may not be the appropriate one.
Steps to Solve:
1. Right click the project folder from IIS (Run>inetmgr), Click properties
2. Select ASP.NET tab & select the appropriate ASP.NET Version from combo box.
3. Press OK & build the application again.

Hope it is helpful...

EXEC sp_MSForEachTable '

IF OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id(''?''), ''TableHasForeignRef'') = 1

DELETE FROM ?

How to get current project path in C#

The Code is to get the current path where the application/project resides...

Syntax: HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath

Example: StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + @"\DataBase\Fauzi_db.sql");

Read Resource file: Resource.resx dynamically thourgh C#

Dear Reader,

Following is a sample method to read a Resource file in your web application which resides in the location "App_GlobalResources\Resource.resx". The assembly references needed are

using System.Collections;

using System.Resources;

Is case if there is a message shown when solution is built

"The type or namespace name 'ResXResourceReader' does
not exist in the class or namespace 'System.Resources' (are you missing an
assembly reference?)"

Please refer ResXResourceReader missing an assembly reference

Source code:

public void ReadResourceresx()

{

//Creating a hashtable to store string in resource files

Hashtable resourceStringsHashTable = new Hashtable();

//Provide relative path of Resource file

string strResourceFilelocation = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath.ToString() +

@"\App_GlobalResources\Resource.resx";

//Creating object for Class: ResXResourceReader

System.Resources.ResXResourceReader objResXResourceReader = null;

try

{

objResXResourceReader = new ResXResourceReader(strResourceFilelocation);

//Defines a DictonartEntry Key/Value to Set or retriev values

foreach (DictionaryEntry resourceString in objResXResourceReader)

{

if (!resourceStringsHashTable.Contains(resourceString.Key.ToString()))

{

//Adding values to HashTable one by one in a loop

resourceStringsHashTable.Add(resourceString.Key.ToString(), resourceString.Value);

}

}

}

finally

{

//Closing the created object

objResXResourceReader.Close();

}

}

Hope it helps :)

ResXResourceReader missing an assembly reference

Dear Reader,

In my web application when I try to read a Resource file (App_GlobalResources/Resource.resx) dynamically through C# code, I get the following message when the solution is built even though the assembly reference "using System.Resources;" is already added.

"The type or namespace name 'ResXResourceReader' does
not exist in the class or namespace 'System.Resources' (are you missing an
assembly reference?)"

The solution is we need to add a dll reference of System.Windows.Forms.dll to the application.

Hope it helps :)
