Is it possible in Visual Studio to view a log of when a website was published? We had a situation where the directory for our website was deleted with the exception of a "styles" subfolder.
Trying to determine if it was a failed publish by Visual Studio or another cause. The remaining "styles" folder had a last modified date so it would be helpful to know if it matched with the Publish time.

My web application was working fine for months till today, don't know what has changed suddenly the project in my solution file says that it is "unavailable" when I open the solution. When I right-click on the web project and reload the project, I get the following error:.
The Web Application Project myproject.myapp.mywebproject is configured
to use IIS. You do not have permission to access the IIS configuration
file. Opening and creating web sites on IIS requires running visual
studio under Administrator account.
Note - All these months i was running visual studio normally(not under administrator account) and the application was working fine.
By seeing the above error i tried running my visual studio under administrator account and the project got loaded but the Source Control File Status beside all the files disappeared, i no longer see any blue lock icon beside any of the files and even when i edit any file also there is no status beside the file in my project and also when i right click on any of the file i don't see the view history option.
My project which was running successfully till now not loading the project. any suggestions on this ?
Browse to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv and then double-click the “config” directory to get this warning dialog:
Click on the Continue button.
Do the same for the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\export directory and also the other directories in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv.
Now you will be able to open the Visual Studio Web Application Project without a problem.
Just run Visual Studio as an Administrator and the problem will be solved.
from the Start menu or when Visual Studio is open on the taskbar, right-click the VS icon.
in the context menu, right-click the visual studio icon again.
left click on properties.
advanced choice.
choose Run as administrator.
I'm trying to publish my final project on ISS7 server and it works fine , but it deletes some sub folder of images uploading. So, I have to recreate folders manually on ISS7 server.
Is there any solution to help visual studio know that these folders are required to run my website? Can I define this on web config?
You need just to Add the sub folders to visual Studio project before your publish it, so the visual studio know that you want these folders.
I'm trying to create a site using Orchard CMS. To get started, I downloaded / installed Orchard from WebMatrix. I successfully setup a site using the "Default" recipe. I then click the "Files" tab within the accordian along the left side. From here, I can see all of the files in my project. To begin editing within Visual Studio 2012, I click the "Visual Studio" button in the ribbon.
Once inside Visual Studio, I right-click on the solution and select "Rebuild Solution". The solution begins building, but then I receive an error. The error says:
Error 1 Object reference not set to an instance of an object. C:\Users\username\Documents\My Web Sites\Orchard CMS2\Modules\Contrib.Cache\Contrib.Cache.csproj 1
Please note that at this point, I have not even edited a single file. Rather, I created a basic site and attempted to open it in Visual Studio. What am I doing wrong?
Only the full source code will build in Visual Studio. You can edit the compiled web site version that you downloaded in Visual Studio, but you won't be able to build it. It actually doesn't need building as it has dynamic compilation built-in.
If you want to build the framework and core, get the full source code version.
I've created a C# project and wanted to publish it. As working in MS Visual studio 2012, I followed the 'How to publish : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/31kztyey.aspx '.
So i selected all the right folders on my file share device, and it build well.
But after i installed the project through the setup.exe, i try to run the .appliction but it doenst show me the form i created, while in taskmanager the process with the description 'Vshost32.exe' can't be killed, if i say 'end process' it reappears, but still doenst show me my project.
I ran the project (before publishing) in both debug mode and release mode. I tried to publish via cd-rom instead of file-share, but same problem appeared.
How can i publish my poject now for other company members without MS Visual Studio on our file share device, so they can also run it ? ( i don't think, simply copying the .exe out of the bin\release folder is a clean way to do it)
I just installed Visual Studio 2012 RTM. During the process of trying to create a new web project, I receive the following error:
"Web application projects are currently configured to use IIS Express. To switch back to using the Visual Studio Development server, change the development server option under the Projects and Solutions/Web Projects category of the Tools/Options menu. Configuring IIS Express failed with the following error: Filname: \?\UNC\DEV-FILES\home\mike\MyDocuments\IISExpress\config\applicationHost.config. Line number:1. Error: Configuration file is not well formed XML"
...and project creation subsequently fails.
I already know that I can resolve the this by using the VS dev server, but I should also be able to use IIS when necessary.
When I view the applicationHost file in question, its size is 0kb. It looks like Visual Studio 2012 wiped the contents of the file completely out. I've taken clean backups of the applicationHost file from c:/inetpub/history/ and restored them in the IISExpress folder. Again, when I attempt to create a new project through VS 2012, the file goes from 85KB back down to 0KB.
So I guess I'm trying to figure out why VS 2012 is writing to the applicationHost.config file, what it's trying to write, and how I can resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Mike
I had this problem and solved it by removing encryption on the IISExpress folder. You may or may not need to remove encryption on your My Documents\Visual Studio 2012 folder as well.
