IE11 problems after deploying

tj@domesticsoft.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2015 22:12:12 GMT

Forget my last post. I have found the main cause for the problem. The problem was that the login-form that included a WebDialogBox is in a web-site with form-authentication, that acutally probibited access to any ISRes.axd resource and thereby the SmartWebResources started behave strangely as the webform loaded it's script from CommonLibray instead.. To solve that I added a authorzation exceptoin in web.config, such:

 <location path="ISRes.axd">
   <system.web>      <authorization>
        <allow users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

I still have some IE11 issues on the deployment server regarding WebFlyPostManager and WebContextMenu, but I will try to solve those before bugging IntersoftPT tech support any further.

Thank you for all the help.

Yes of course (1 to 5). And I have tripple checked. Here are those read directly from our server:

All runtime licnese keys are set copy/pasted from our licnese.
ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.Resources.dll version 9.0.7200.1
ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.Resources.dll version 4.0.7200.14
ISNet.WebUI.WebCombo.Resources.dll version 6.0.7200.260
ISNet.WebUI.WebInput.Resources.dll version 4.0.7200.253
ISNet.dll version 3.0.5000.914
ISNet.WebUI.dll version 3.0.5000.914
ISNet.WebUI.Resources.dll version 3.0.5000.914
ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.dll version 9.0.7200.1
ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.dll version 4.0.7200.14
ISNet.WebUI.WebCombo.dll version 6.0.7200.260
ISNet.WebUI.WebInput.dll version 4.0.7200253
ISNet.ActiveReports.Exporting.dll version 5.0.7200.3
ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.ISChartEngine.dll version 9.07200.1

And here is th <system.webServer> setup on the server:

    <system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
    <handlers>
      <add name="ISChart.axd_GET, POST" path="ISChart.axd" verb="GET, POST" type="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.Chart.ChartRequestHandler, ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid" preCondition="integratedMode"/>
      <add name="ISRes.axd_GET" path="ISRes.axd" verb="GET" type="ISNet.WebUI.WebResourceHandler, ISNet.WebUI, Version=3.0.5000.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b1f2a8511635667a" preCondition="integratedMode"/>
      <add name="WebFileUploaderHttpHandler.axd_GET" path="WebFileUploaderHttpHandler.axd" verb="GET" type="ISNet.WebUI.WebTextEditor.WebFileUploaderHttpHandler, ISNet.WebUI.WebTextEditor" preCondition="integratedMode"/>
    </handlers>
    <modules>
      <add name="WebFileUploaderHttpModule_GET" preCondition="managedHandler" type="ISNet.WebUI.WebTextEditor.WebFileUploaderHttpModule, ISNet.WebUI.WebTextEditor" />
    </modules>
  </system.webServer>

However I have made some progress: The thing is that the WebDialogBox on the login page was set with EnableWebResources="Never". This actually enabled things to work on my Development Machine.
So I removed it, and then all browser types complain they don't find the WebDesktop resources ("InitWebDialogBox is not defined", etc).
The strange thing is that when I open Deployment Manager from any of the WebUI controls, it shows "Client Resources Mode = Auto" althoug this is the setting in web.confg:
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.v4_0_7200.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
...etc same for all the other controls.
What is even more strange, if I press the "Copy SmartWebResourcesto Project Folder" it copies the DLLs to the root folder of the project but not the Bin folder as expected.

End result is that I have to set:
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.v4_0_7200.EnableWebResources" value="Never"/>
to get Chrome and FireFox to work, but for IE11 that does not help as it will not find the smart web-resources for other WebUI components.

Please ensure following checklist when deploying WebSite/WebApp which employs Intersoft controls:

RuntimeLicenseKey
This is a key required in order to license the components for deployment purpose in production environment. This one is checked/done based on your post on August 13, 2015 (...excluding the Runtime Licens sections of course)
Resource Assembly
Ensure that you have copied the resources assemblies to your project's bin folder. Example: ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.Resources.dll; ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.Resources.dll.
Framework Assembly
You are required to copy framework assemblies to your project's bin folder. The framework assemblies are: ISNet.dll; ISNet.WebUI.dll; and ISNet.WebUI.Resources.dll.
Component Assembly
Component assembly is required to be copied to your project's bin folder. The component assemblies are: ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.dll; ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.dll; ISNet.WebUI.WebCombo.dll, etc.
Feature-specific Assembly
Exporting, charting feature assembly is required to be copied to your project's bin folder if the WebApplication utilizes these features.
Ensure that handlers have been added in <system.webServer> in web.config file.
For more detail, please check this tutorial article that provides a step-by-step instruction on how to configure Web Site to run in IIS7 (or newer) environment.

Ok I switch to SmartWebResources fully:

I have copied all the .Resource.dll files to the Bin folder
Here is the IS related setup in web.config (on the deployment server)..excluding the Runtime Licens sections of course.

    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.ISRes_Registered" value="true" />    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.GroupCssStyles" value="true" />        <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebAqua.v2_0_1000.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebInput.v4_0_7200.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTextEditor.v2_0_1000.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebScheduler.v4_0_1000.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v9_0_7200.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebEssentials.v3_0_1000.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.v4_0_7200.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebCombo.v6_0_7200.EnableWebResources" value="Always"/>

    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.V4_0_7200.RenderingMode" value="HTML5" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v9_0_7200.RenderingMode" value="HTML5" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.RenderingMode" value="HTML5" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebCombo.v6_0_7200.RenderingMode" value="HTML5" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebInput.v4_0_7200.RenderingMode" value="HTML5" />
    
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.OptimizeCss" value="true" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.OptimizeCssName" value="true" />
    
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.V4_0_2007.XmlCompressionEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.V9_0_7200.XmlCompressionEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebInput.v4_0_7200.XmlCompressionEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebCombo.v4_0_7200.XmlCompressionEnabled" value="true" />

After this modification, everything works fine using Chrome or FireFox.

BUT IE11 does not work. It manages to pass the login screen that actully has a WebDialogBox, but when it enters the page containing the treeview (Profiler.aspx) and web-combos it fails. Se attahced tow debug images. the A-image (NETWORK) doesnt show anything wrong I think. But take a look at B-image (CONSOLE). IE11 doesnt seem to find the individual Javascript functions in the SmartResources, althoug it GETs the .js files successfully. How come?

PS: After I removed compleetly CommonLibrary folder. IE11 stops on the first request to Intersoft resources:
script>InitWebDialogBox('c_wdlgLogin') 'script' is undefined
But Firefox and Chrome still work 100% ok.
So the problem is that IE11 refuses to use the SmartWebResources, while Chrome and Firefox can use them when browsing the same web site. How can that be?

I can send you a login to the system if you provide me with avalid intersoftpt emal address. Then you can test for your self.

Where is the WebUI for ASP.Net documentation, where I can read about thes Smart Web Resources, etc.

I enclosed a video (SmartWebResourcesDocumentation.zip) as attachment. The video shows how to find SmartWebResources in WebUI Studio for ASP.Net documentation. Please feel free to let me know if you still have any difficulties to find/locate the documentation.

Where do I se if the app (in dev. machine) uses Smart Web Resources or not?

The image below shows WebSite using SmartWebResources.

While this one shows WebSite not using SmartWebResources.

disk-space on our server is no issue. Should I prefere using Smart Web Resources or not?

As best practice, it is highly recommended to enable SmartWebResources feature for all Intersoft's components. This will avoid developers to deals with the complexity in order to deploy their web application. For an instance, the JavaScript files, image, and other runtime client files need to be copied in order for the component to run properly.

Hope this helps.

Hu Yudi, and thank you for your quick response. I appreciate Intersofts fast and good customer support.
First thing. I have not touched WebUI for ASP.Net for many years. So my knowledg is quite rusted now when I have to upgrade all WebUI for ASP.net, in our application because of IE and Chrome browser problems in the old one. So first things first:

Where is the WebUI for ASP.Net documentation, where I can read about thes Smart Web Resources, etc.
Where do I se if the app (in dev. machine) uses Smart Web Resources or not?
disk-space on our server is no issue. Should I prefere using Smart Web Resources or not?

Find attached the results from IE11 Dev. Tool. It seems that when browsing from IE11 the scripts in CommonLibary can't be found...am I right? But why is that happening for IE11 only but not in Chrome and FireFox? ...

So I added all the stuff from your <appSettings> that where missing in mine (all those script directory refs. and EnableWebResources=never). After that the tree view paints correctly but is not sensing the mouse, when hovering over tree view items or trying to expload an item.
In the IE11 Dev Tool I now get this error only:
"SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'attachEvent'"
"File: WebTreeView.js, Line: 1, Column: 93893"
We are using .NET framework v4.0.304129 on both dev. machine and deployment server.

PS: If it matter, When I deploy I use "Publish Web site" from Visual Studio 2010 that compiles and copy the website to a "precompiled" folder. I copy the content of that folder to the deployment server. Done so for many years with the app with previous version of WebUI components without any problems at all.

IE11 problems after deploying

Please allow me to assist you with the deployment problem one-by-one. First, let's start with the WebTreeView.

Everyting works fine on my development machine in all browser types (IE11, Chrome, FireFox).

During development phase, does the app (in development machine) uses SmartWebResources or not uses SmartWebResources? If the app in development machine doesn't use SmartWebResources then it would be as simple as xcopy the app to deployment server.

A simple WebSite with unbound WebTreeView is deployed to my IIS 8.5. Below is the settings which related to WebTreeView defined in web.config file.

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.ISRes_Registered" value="false"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.OptimizeCss" value="true" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.OptimizeCssName" value="true" />
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.v3_0_5000.GroupCssStyles" value="true" />
    
    <!-- WebTreeView Settings -->
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.ImagesDirectory"
         value="~/CommonLibrary/Images/WebTreeView/"/>    
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.RenderingMode"
         value="HTML5"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.RuntimeLicenseKey"
         value="RUNTI-MELI-CENSE"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.ScriptDirectory"
         value="~/CommonLibrary/WebTreeView/V1_0_1500/"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.SharedScriptDirectory"
         value="~/CommonLibrary/Shared/"/>
    <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTreeView.v1_0_1500.EnableWebResources"
         value="Never"/>
  </appSettings>
  ...
</configuration>

Note: the value shown at the above settings may differ/vary according to the configuration of deployment environment.

Please ensure that those settings have been configured properly. You can use the Network tool of IE 11 Developer Tool to determine which js files or images that missing (http404).

Hi I have an app using the newest version of all WebUI for ASP.Net. Everyting works fine on my development machine in all browser types (IE11, Chrome, FireFox).
So I deployed the whole thing to a IIS v. 7.5 running on Windows Server 2008. I followed the guidlines when not using smart web resources as I copy all the CommonLibray stuff to the server and creata Virtal Directory referring it.
After this all works grate when browsing from Chrom and FireFox. BUT IE11 is not working properly. I pass the login screen but after that I get strange painted tree-view, that can not be expanded nor selected from. Also notice the strange icons in front of each item instead of the '+' symbol. The WebCombo shown can not be selected from either. Both the WebCombo and the WebTreeView are dead for the mouse. See screenshots attached one from functioning Chrome browsing and the other one from the IE11. And yes I'm running withOUT compatibilty mode.

Also the web-panes can not be resized.

What can be the problem here?

Regards
TJ
