Can I run ASP.NET app from different virtual site?

[Chris]

Hi

I have a ASP.NET 1.1 app that is compiled to say "APP1.dll" and APP1 is the name of the virtual directory. I want to be able to have a staging site where I can just copy the files over to another virtual directory called APP2. When I first tried it I got Resource Manager errors. I tried just renaming the main dll and resource file dll's to APP2 and then got "Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: NAME" error. If the files run in the same virtual directory name that they were compiled under, everything is fine. What's the correct way to do this

Thanks
Chris

I do this all the time, with no resource manager problems. Try again, from
scratch, and tell us what resource manager problems you're having.

Hi John,

I get:

[ArgumentExcepti on: ResourceManager base name should not end in
resources. It should be similar to MyResources, which the
ResourceManager can convert into MyResources.<cu lture>.resource s; for
example, MyResources.en-US.resources.]
System.Resource s.ResourceManag er.CommonSatell iteAssemblyInit () +195
System.Resource s.ResourceManag er..ctor(String baseName, Assembly
assembly) +55
SupplierLink.Ut ilityBiz..ctor( ) +78
SupplierLink.Lo gin..ctor() +100
_ASP.Login_aspx ..ctor() +6

I have a default resource file which is compile into the main dll and I
have 2 Satellite dlls for Japanese and Spanish. It all works fine when
it's under the same site name as it was developed under. Should I be
able to just use the same files on the the same server but under a
different virtual directory. It looks like this:

IIS
APP1
bin
APP1.dll
es
APP1.resources. dll
ja
APP1.resources. dll

New site that gets errors:

IIS
APP2
Bin
APP1.dll
es
APP1.resources. dll
ja
APP1.resources. dll

The virtual site name is the only difference. It's the same files just
copied to a different directory and with a different virtual site name.
Should I be able to do this?

I'm using Code-Behind pages and it's not strongly named and haven't done
anything with the GAC...

Thanks,
Chris

_ASP.Login_aspx ..ctor() +6

Ok, so maybe the SupplierLink.Ut ilityBiz constructor is instantiating a
ResourceManager and specifying something for the baseName parameter which
ends in ".resource" ? In that case, "don't do that".

I think I have it figured out. Is there a way to instantiate the Resource Manager without having to name the assembly? I was doing it like this:

Private mobjResourceMan ager As ResourceManager = New ResourceManager ("APP1.Resource s", GetType(Header) .Assembly)

I get errors if I don't include the APP1. In some examples I've seen they just have the name of the Resource which is "Resources.resx ". I was trying to share the same class file in 2 different projects which gets compiled into each project.

I can do something like this:

Private mobjResourceMan ager As ResourceManager = New ResourceManager (Reflection.Ass embly.GetExecut ingAssembly.Get Name.Name & ".Resources ", GetType(Header) .Assembly)

and that will make it work, but it seems like I shouldn't have to from other examples.

Thanks,
Chris

Didn't the error message say you should _not_ use the .resources extension?

I tried renaming them to something different and I still got the error.
When you instantiate the ResourceManager are you using just the name of
the resource files or do you put in the AssemblyName.Re sources?

I don't use this method.

Just try it without the ".resources " extension and see what happens.
