I have an asp.net MVC solution in VS 2010 which has multiple asp.net MVC web application projects inside it. My requirement is that each of these projects should be able to deploy independently on same/different servers. I have to deploy them using Web setup project.
I don't want to create a separate web setup project for each MVC web application project.
Is it possible to create only one Web setup project and provide the target directory name for each project during installation? Or is there any other alternative to achieve the same?
For ex: if i have 3 different projects in the solution, i want to put the files of each project on different servers(server path needs to be given during installation). Is this possible using single Web setup project?
Alternatively can i create separate .msi file for different project but using the single Web setup project?
Thanks,
Manoj

For an example, I have one angular ui project that fetches values and perform operations.
I have one backend API project in .Net Core and now I want to reuse angular ui project with node js.
Is it possible?
How to configure it and which are the main points to take care that angular project support both.
How can I deploy it?
Angular is a client side application that run's in clients browser, as long as the REST API or service you connect has Same API endpoints and same object models and authentication etc everything will work as intended.
REST is platform independent like the web services and also language independent. It doesn't matter if you use .Net Core or some nodejs framework.
Once the angular application is build ( ng build --prod) you get a bundled application files in dist folder you can host these files in any web sever just like you host normal html file.
The only change you have to make in the the Angular application will be to change the host URL (if there is any change) normally configured in environments folder
Take help of environment file and change the api as per your requirement.
Have Node.js project with two Angular2 application, I want to combine all (site, admin and server) node_modules into one. and I need to control all app from root directory.
Please suggest the solution or suggest the standardized method to do this.
With angular cli multiple apps feature you definitely can combine your two angular apps, which is make sence. But I definitely recommend to keep your server app separate.
Like have a folder src with two folders client(angular apps) and server in it.
In order to present a brand new way of developing a web application, our team decided to create an Angular 2 web application that will be integrated within an already existing Maven Project in Eclipse Mars which DOES NOT use NodeJS nor Angular.
We are currently using the frontend-maven-plugin belonging to com.github.eirslet and managed to download and install both node.exe and npm.
Now, here is the deal: our web application has its own package.json file with all the configuration required to run properly, BUT we would like to be able to differentiate between the web applications, as each one of them belongs to a different working directory (i.e. com.webapp.app01, com.webapp.app02, ...).
As the plugin does not let the user use the npm install command on different directories, we were wondering about how we could reach this goal... maybe using a general package.json, but generating all .js and dependency files in each project directories.
Would that be something even possible?
Could you give us some help?
Thank you.
Cheers!
What I would suggest is to have a multi-module maven project, with a common parent, and children, that would give you this kind of architecture:
parent-project
|-child-project1 (java project)
|-child-project2 (webapp1)
|-child-project3 (webapp2)
|....
|-child-projectn (webapp n-1)
This way you can have for each web-app the frontend plugin available. And you can handle the flow of the build from the parent project (for instance if webapp2 needs to be built before webapp1, you can orchestrate it from the parent)
We decided to generate all the libraries locally and upload them to SVN, due to the fact that the already existing structure cannot be changed and the maven plugin is too much limited for our purpose.
Thank you for your replies, though. :-)
In separate Windows 8.1/Windows Phone 8.1 projects, including the SharpDX.targets file from the SharpDX repo includes all of its content build actions in each project. Doing the same in the shared project in a universal app doesn't work (project reloads successfully but tools are no in the Build Action list).
Is there an alternate solution to keeping the content in the shared project rather than keeping copies in each of the W8.1/WP8.1 projects just because there is no centralized way of building it?
No, a shared project in a universal app is never really built. It's merely a container of files to be shared into each of the specific projects. If you have custom build actions, you need to include them in each specific project (that requires them).
I was going to try Subsonic, you can generate DAL with buildProvider element in an ASP.NET website project. But I get curious why Web applications or windows applications do not support BuildProvider.
PS: I know for Subsonic there is one other option to use it with other than BuildProvider, but I just get curious.
It doesn't work because of the different way things are compiled in web application projects vs. website projects. From what I read on MSDN, it has to do with the fact that in web app projects, all your code files are compiled into a single assembly using MSBuild before deployment, but Build Providers are used to generate code that is compiled at runtime (from your App_Code folder).
In website projects, all of your code is compiled at runtime so it all plays nicely together.
You could possibly hook it into your pre-build event, and call the sonic.exe with the proper command line.
