Hi,

I'm using Web UI Studio 2009 R2 SP1 assembly version 7.0.7200.402. Our web app. has been running successfully on Windwos Server 2003 (IIS 5 I think) for years. Now we want to move the web app to Windows Server 2008 (64bit) running IIS 7.5.
We are using ASP.Net 4 on both servers.
So I simply copied all the web app folders from the old server to the new server. After some minor adjustments in web.config, my app started on the new server but it does not show any WebDialogs as expected. I get such an error (IP address replaced by xxx):
Message: Object expected
Line: 22
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx/C2NetDesktop/WPages/AccessSystem/C2NetLogin.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fC2NetDesktop
When I view the code the lines are:

function window_onload()

{

document.body.style.overflow = "hidden";

var dlgBox = ISGetObject("c_wdlgLogin");

dlgBox.ShowDialog();

}

After reading this post:
http://intersoftpt.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/using-webui-studio-2009-in-windows-x64-and-iis-7/
I ran the application as recommended. However when I pressed the button a waring popped up saying:
"Applicatoin attemted to perform an operatoin not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the requiired permission, contact your system administrator, or use the Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration tool.

If you click Continue, the appkication will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quiit, the application will close immediatley.

Requested registry access is not allowed."

So I pressed "Continue" as I'was logged in as a system administrator. However how can I be sure that the registry has been updated successfully?

Or is my problem originating from a different source?

The blog’s article, http://intersoftpt.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/using-webui-studio-2009-in-windows-x64-and-iis-7/, provides solution for issue that happen if you are using 64-bit version of MS Windows operating system for development.

I’m afraid that the provided solution is not suitable for your specific scenario. Assumed that you are moving the web app on a new production server means that this scenario deals with deployment issue.

Since it is reported that WebDialogBox doesn't show on the new production server, I would like to suggest you to check/debug on the window_onload() JavaScript function. Currently, I suspect that the dlgBox variable that stores the WebDialogObject doesn’t obtain the proper object of the corresponding WebDialogBox (or even null).

Please kindly let us know if you have different result.

Well actualy I found out what was missing the CommonLibrary containg the IS scripts was missing. I added that and then the WebDialog popped up.
However when I reach the main page containing a lot of WebCombos and a WebGrid, The web combos display '6' instead of the arrow at right side and web-grids display 'red x' where icons should be. There are lot of such errors:

Message: 'IS' is undefined
Line: 1263
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx/C2NetDesktop/WPages/Profiler/Profiler.aspx

refering to code lines like:
if (typeof(IS.RegisterBoxSizing) != 'function').....

and

Message: Object expected

Line: 188

Char: 43

Code: 0

URI: http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx/C2NetDesktop/WPages/Profiler/Profiler.aspx

refering to code lines like:

(arrow left)xml id='WebFlyPostBackManager1_x'(arrow right)

So something is still missing on the new 64 bit server. Do I need to install something in the GAC or System32?

Hello,

Please let us know if this 64 bit is your development or deployment machine.
If it is deployment, you won't need to install any of Intersoft product in server.
Based on your error, it seems your were missing our WebUIFramework (ISNet.dll,ISNet.WebUI,dll, and ISNet.WebUI.Resources.dll).

To resolve this issue, I suggest you do the following steps.
1.Remove all references or assemblies in your project bin folder.
2.After removed them, please readd them again.
3.Use RegisterSmartWebResources. (This must be done in development machine. Right click Intersoft control at design mode and choose RegisterSmartWebResources).
5. If it is deployed in IIS7, please copy all http handler into system.webserver in web.config.

Regards,
Handy

By some reason after adding this handler to the system.webserver in web.config, everythign seems to be working properly:

</handlers>

Hello,

All the http handlers should be placed inside system.webserver. This setting is required in IIS7.

Unfortunately I did a mistake when testing using a wrong URL (actualy pointing to our old deployment server). The problem still persists the same on the new server. I have SamrtResources registered and all the .Resources.dll files installed. I have also tried to exclude ISRes.axd from the authentication paths as mentioned here.
However as you mention that all the handlers shold be placed inside system.webserver for IIS7. The above mentioned is the only one I found in web.config on my development machine. So I copied it into the web.config on my 64 bit IIS7 release server. Should there be more of those?

One thing I noticed in my last tests that among the errors is this:
'WGUI' is undefined
Probably refering to that it can't find some resources as all icons in the web-grid ars shown as 'red X' and the arrow in the WebCombo shown as '6'.

What on earth could be causing this?

That should be not happening. Can you send me a simple working project that replicates this issue?
I will try to see what's wrong in here.
Is you project a WebApplication project? If yes, please ensure that Copy local property of each assemblies is set as true (click a assembly in references folder and press f4).

Handy

Well after a lot of hacking I gave up and decided to start from scratch I removed the web app totaly from the IIS7 server and deleted all files. Then I deployed it compleetly again from my dev. machine, and after that it seems to work perfectly.

So I decided to do the same with another web app I have also using WebCombos and WebGrid (the same versions).

When running that application (from the IIS7 server) everything seems to be ok untll I press an arrow of any WebCombo to "drop it down" Then I get this error:

Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB7.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.2; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)

Timestamp: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 08:57:10 UTC

Message: Invalid argument.

Line: 9

Char: 40825

Code: 0

URI: http://82.221.35.198/E2Net/ISRes.axd?F/ISCore.js/305000752

This application (as the previous one) is using Forms Authentication:

</authentication>

</authorization>

The strange thing is if I then log out and login again (same browser session) this problem wanish.

So this seems to have something to do with the authentication. Any clue?

Hello,

I am glad that you resolved your previous error. Regarding your current issue, Can you send me your web.config? There should be no problem when running authentication. Our product mostly has been used inside authentication scenario by our customer. Perhaps, you would need to clear the browser cache and asp.net Temporary files in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files.

Handy,
Sorry for my late replay. I had somehow missed your reply. Becuse web.config holds all the keys etc, can I send it to you directly somehow via email to you. What email address should I use?

PS: I tried to wipe out the temporary stuff as you suggested, but it did not help.
