Unable to access WCF service hosted on server from c#.net application - performance

I have created a WCF service to contact sql database.
I hosted the service on remote server IIS.
Service is run and can be able browse from IIS. IIS Browse returns the service URL like below. .
When I try to access the service from outside the server ie from my local system, It is throwing error.
Instead of domain name, I have tried with the system IP and I can able to access the service via IE ()
When I tried to add the service on my .net application it is throwing error.

Could any one help me to resolve this error.

Try commenting out the host section which specifies a base address.
Actually that's ignored by IIS, but try it anyway.
What is the actual error message you're getting?

VS 2010 misses "Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common Version=8.0.0.0" when running with SSRS 2012

Our project is built with VS 2010 and reports are built with SSRS 2005 and it works just fine, in this environment.
We are trying to migrate to SSRS 2012. In run time we get this error
'Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I copied the file "MicrosoftReportViewerCommon.dll" to the bin folder, but its version is 10.0.x.x. I don't know how to find version 8.0.0.0.
I don't know exactly what we should do. Is it supposed to add this file to the project? Or the references in the project should be changed to refer to another file version?? And how this should be done??
In the web form we have this line of code:
<%# Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %>
and in web.config:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>
......

<handlers>
<add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
Any help is appreciated.
After 2 days of searching the web, I figured out how to overcome this error.
I had to install ReportViewer 2005, and this installer will register “Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common Version=8.0.0.0” in GAC automatically.
I've been told that is not a good practice and it is just a workaround, because the project is not running using the most updated controls and it is still using the old ones.
For now the project is working fine, but I hope some body provide me with a real solution.
I had a similar problem and found I needed three files:
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
And the config file looked like this:

Composite C1 not generating sitemap.xml

Quick specs:
Composite C1 4.1
Windows 2003 Server
IIS 6
.NET Framework 4.0
Anything newer will not run on my old server.
I have tried to access my website's sitemap.xml (direct link) but it keeps giving a 404 error. I have looked over the internet but the only thing i can find about the sitemap is the manual page of Composite telling me to change my web.config and all should be settled and it will generate a sitemap.xml for me. This however is not the case for me, am i missing something? So far i have checked the following:
The 404 page in IIS refers to /Renderers/FileNotFoundHandler.ashx
The system.web and sytem.webserver (the latter being useless for IIS6 i recall) both have the settings as posted in the manual
Composite C1 has the correct rights on the server
robots.txt has a correct reference to the sitemap
Custom error mode is set to Remote Only, and i am accessing it remotely.
Couldn't find Composite.AspNet.SitemapHandler package in available packages

My sitemap errors out when using multiple hostname bindings with the same HomePageId and Culture :/
This might or might not be the same as your issue, but that's exactly what I did to have the same configuration (404 Page etc.) in all my environments:
Allowing error details, this is what I get:
The source code is available at https://compositec1.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#CompositeC1/Composite/AspNet/SiteMapHandler.cs – that's how I learned how to "fix" my issue.
My site is quite alright now, so I can confidently comment out my non-production entries in App_Data\Composite\DataStores\Composite.Data.Types.IHostnameBinding.xml, which leaves me with a fully functioning sitemap generator again :]
I've tried "tricking" the faulting function by changing the Culture (e.g. non-default Culture, or changing the casing of the string) or the HomePageId (e.g. ID of a non-homepage), however, I ran into some other issues then :\

ASP.NET Performance Profiling 404/500 errors

Using the Visual Studio Performance Explorer, with Cassini, I'm trying to launch profiling on my (Orchard CMS 1.4.0) ASP.NET MVC3 application, but I get this error:
The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting http://localhost:30320/OrchardLocal/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd returned an error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
So I searched for a solution and found this article which didn't apply, because I'm using Visual Studio's development server (Cassini) not IIS - no less IIS 6. Then I read this article and this article; of all those suggestions, the only one that made a difference was adding the location section to my web.config, to grant access to VSEnterpriseHelper.axd. But as one of those articles predicted, my 404 error simply became a 500:
The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting http://localhost:30320/OrchardLocal/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd returned an error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
The trailing commentaries in these various articles aren't working for me. Any suggestions? I figure I will post my (Orchard 1.4.0) web.config here, in case somebody can spot a culprit:

In my case, I had
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="true" />
set in my web.config. When I changed it to
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
things magically started working. Three hours down the drain....
I faced similiar problem, and I found one solution. I found out that I get 404 error because VSEnterpriseHelper.axd is routed through MVC, and it's happening whatever I set in Web.config. So I figured out that I should route it properly. So I added route to handle this file, and I wrote handler:
Handler:
public class DefaultRouteHandler : IRouteHandler
{
public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
{
return new DefaultHttpHandler();
}
}
internal class DefaultHttpHandler : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
string contentPath = context.Request.PhysicalPath;
#if DEBUG
if (contentPath == context.Server.MapPath("VSEnterpriseHelper.axd"))
{
var assembly = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies().SingleOrDefault(a => a.GetName().Name == "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise.AspNetHelper");
if (assembly == null)
{
if (File.Exists(#"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise.AspNetHelper.dll"))
{
assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(#"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise.AspNetHelper.dll");
}
if (File.Exists(#"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise.AspNetHelper.dll"))
{
assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(#"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise.AspNetHelper.dll");
}
}
var type = assembly.GetType("Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise.Common.AspNetHelperHandler");
var handler = (IHttpHandler)Activator.CreateInstance(type);
handler.ProcessRequest(context);
return;
}
#endif
[...]
}
}
Route definition:
DefaultRouteHandler defaultHandler = new DefaultRouteHandler();
routes.Add(new Route("{*resource}", new RouteValueDictionary(), new RouteValueDictionary(), defaultHandler));
I fixed the same 500 error, here is what you need to do (partially borrowed from here with my own comment):
Make sure you have write permissions on your web.config file
If your website has locked down security on the root folder (using either
forms or windows authentication etc), make sure you add a [location] tag to allow full access to the vsenterprisehelper.axd file, like this:
<location path="VSEnterpriseHelper.axd">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
Ensure AXD extensions are configured in IIS for your site
There are problems if your AppSettings are stored in a separate configuration file, and your web.config refers to them with a configSource attribute
I finally (4 hours later) fixed this by moving my default .axd route handler from RouteConfig.cs into the main Global.asax.cs:
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
// Register .axd route ahead of WebApiConfig
RouteTable.Routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
Because I was using WebAPI, the WebApiConfig routes were picking up the calls to the AXD as they were being registered before RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes where the .axd exception is by default.

The name 'model' does not exist in current context in MVC3

I added a cshtml page in an project. When I tried to add the following declaration to it, I get an error: "The name 'model' does not exist in current context".
#model xyz.abc.SomeClass
I checked the references, all of them are in place. I added a web.config in view folder, but that didn't fix it.
Is there anything i am missing?
Update: If you are using a newer version of MVC, the same process applies, just be sure to use the correct version number in the web.config's <host> line.
Well, I found myself experiencing the same thing you did, and after a bit further research, I found out what the problem is!
You need to include the default MVC3 web.config for the Views folder. MVC3 has two: one in the root for your application, and one for the views folder. This has a section for included namespaces. Be sure that yours looks something like this:
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
I suggest that you create a new MVC3 project, then just copy the web.config created for you into your views folder.
Important Once you've done that, you need to close the file and reopen it. Voila! Intellisense!
I ran into this same issue when I created a new area to organize my pages. My structure looked like:
WebProject
- [] Areas
- [] NewArea
- [] Controllers
- [] Views
- [] Controllers
- [] Views
- Web.config
- Web.config
The views created in the Views folder under the WebProject worked fine, but the views created under the NewArea threw the following error:
The name 'model' does not exist in the current context.
To fix this I copied the web.config in the Views folder under the WebProject to the Views folder in the NewArea. See below.
WebProject
- [] Areas
- [] NewArea
- [] Controllers
- [] Views
- **Web.config**
- [] Controllers
- [] Views
- Web.config
- Web.config
I ran into this because I manually created this new area using Add -> New Folder to add the folders. I should have right-clicked the project and selected Add -> Area. Then Visual Studio would have taken care of setting the area up correctly.
If your views are in a class library assembly, which is useful for reuse of shared views among projects, then just doing what Adam suggests might not be enough. I still had issues even with that.
Try this in your web.config in the root of your project:

This worked for me. I now have intellisense and no compile errors on my views in a non-MVC project that I can then reference from multiple MVC websites.
I ran into this problem when I inadvertently had a copy of the view file (About.cshtml) for the route /about in the root directory. (Not the views folder) Once I moved the file out of the root, the problem went away.
Had similar problems using VS2012 and VS2013.
Adding the following line to <appSettings> in the main web.config worked:
<add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
If the line was already there but said 2.0.0.0, changing it to 3.0.0.0 worked.
Update: 5/5/2015
For your MVC 5 project you need to set the Version to 5.0.0.0 in your /views/web.config
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</system.web.webPages.razor>
While you declare the model at the top of the view using code like this:
#model MyModel
you need to capitalise your references to it below, for example:
#Html.Encode(Model.MyDisplayValue)
I believe a missing web.config in the Views folder would be the major cause of this, but if that is fixed and the problem still persists, check that you are using Model, not model to refer to it in the source.
I ran into this problem as well. My circumstances were a little different.
One of my view folders was accidentally moved to my project's root directory. This lead to the route
project_root/SignUp/ViewName matching before project_root/Views/SignUp/ViewName. This caused the #model error.
After moving the views back into the appropriate location, the directory was somehow recreated in the project root. This time, empty. /SignUp/ViewName worked, but /SignUp/ threw a 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. error. The entire folder must be removed from the project root.
I hope this helps someone. I spent hours believing the problem was caused by our recent upgrade from MVC 3 to MVC 4. Just a note: Upgrade problems should only occur between MVC 2 and MVC 3. If you see this problem on later versions, it's probably not due to the upgrade.
It took me ages to solve this issue, but finally I hope I have solved it on MVC, that is similar:
I have reinstall ASP.NET 4.5 (http://www.asp.net/downloads)
I have followed the upgrading tutorial on http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/mvc4-release-notes
BUT this mentioned paragraph is wrong for me
System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0
System.Web.WebPages, Version=2.0.0.0
System.Web.Helpers, Version=2.0.0.0
System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0
Because I have Razor in System.Web.Razor, so I changed the razor namespace to System.Web.Razor.
Add this to your web.config
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Version" value="2.0.0.0" />
</appSettings>
I have add the assembly reference to all these assemblies above
Locate the ProjectTypeGuids element and replace {E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401} with {E3E379DF-F4C6-4180-9B81-6769533ABE47}.
That is all.
It is a horrible mistake but:
Be sure you have Web.config files in your View at Remote. Maybe you skipped to upload it by your Ftp programme's filters.
I was missing web.config under Areas/MyArea/Views/web.config. Once added it worked fine. This was with MVC 5 and .NET4.5
There is also another reason. In my case, I had copy an index.cshtml file to web root folder (outside the Views folder) as a backup from remote server.
So, I kept changing my /views/web.config, kept changing my /views/home/index.cshtml and error kept happening... until found out the /index.cshtml outside the views folder, deleted it and sure, it all went back to normal!
I ran into this same problem, but in my case, the only thing that had changed is that I had uninstalled Visual Studio 2012 and installed Visual Studio 2013. I opened up our solution, but I kept getting the same The name 'model' does not exist in current context error in every Razor view.
My coworker suggested checking for updates for VS2013. After I installed the VS2013 Update 1, I stopped getting this error.
Check your config file on views directory. in the
add the key for MVC 4/5
Reinstalling the nuget solved it for me
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Razor -Version 3.2.3
For me this was the issue. This whole block was missing from the section.

I've got the same issue after updating packages. I did the whole stuff You've written above in this topic, but the red underlying of the model keyword has not disappeared. Later, found solution: just deleted 'package' folder from my project's dir and rebuilded, in the meantime allowed NuGet to restore missing packages. Refreshed, and it's done!
Check your web.config file should be exist in published files
I was facing the same issue and then I find a solution. The solution is:
Close Visual Studio
Delete the SUO file
Restart Visual Studio
The .suo file is a hidden file in the same folder where the .svn solution file exists. Hope, it'll work!
Closing Visual Studio and re-opening worked for me. Must be a weird bug.

WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd weird behaviour

I am building a website, to be used primarily in my internal network. I am facing a very frustrating problem with AJAX .NET. To explain the problem, first let me detail out my environment.
I am developing in Visual Studio .NET 2010, targeting .NET framework 4.0.
My staging server is a win7 utlimate machine having the complete configuration of IIS 7 installed.
I am using MySql Server 5.1 as my database server
The staging server has the required MySQL connectors installed
I am using the Membership class to authenticate and authorize my users. With mysql, I am following this article to accomplish this : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/mysqlmembershipprovider.aspx
The staging server is using AVG antivirus along with windows firewall.
I am using the toolKitScriptManager on all my pages.
The application works perfectly fine in visual studio. Also, when deployed on the staging server, it works fine on any browser on the staging server as well. The website also works fine on other machines inside my network, when I access it by tying the ip adderess:port of the server. Now the problem is that after some time of usage the website just hangs. As in it says page loading for a long time before eventually timing out. This issue goes away if I clear the cache and restart the browser but reappears after some time. This issue is witnessed only on the networked machines. We have never encountered it on the web browsers of the staging server.
I have succeeded in a controlled reproroduction of the issue. Whenever the page loads and I hit refresh on the page, the problem appears. If I go back and try to access the same page by clicking the page link, it works. But if I hit refresh, the page just keeps on saying loading and eventually times out.
I have examined the network by using the google chrome developer toolbar and firebug and I found that whenever the problem occurs, some webresource.axd and scriptresource.axd files show up as "pending".
After spending more then 15 days, researching google to combat this issue, I have unsuccessfully tried the following remedies :
Thinking it might have something to do with concurrent connection limit of IIS7 on win 7, I tested it with minimal load, that is just one user accessing the site. I also monitored the IIS worker processes to see if the requests are queeued up there, but I see no pending requests, The problem is still there.
Thinking it might have something to do with firewall blockage, I disabled the firewall on my staging server. The problem is still there.
Thinking it has something to do with my web.config settings, I checked my web.config a thousand times for mistakes, but all sections are intact. Please see the web.config file at the end of this listings for any signs of problem
Your kind suggestions please.
