Updating atlas and toolkit

If you already have atlas installed and created a new application via the atlas template in visual studio and are using the atlas "controls" how do you do upgrades when new releases of atlas or the controls come out? Will the new setup files update your system (templates,controls and apps) or is there something else that you will have to do?

You'll just need to copy over the Atlas assemblies in your \bin directory, and potentially update the Atlas settings in the web.config file.

Hope this helps,

URL parameters within Atlas enabled Web Service

I was able to test my Web Service by passing in the parameters via an URL string. (i.e. localhost/service.asmx/GetNames?id=1) But since I "Atlas enabled" my Web Service, this functionality no longer works. I receive the error,Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in...

I would like to have the flexibility of passing in URL parameters to some of the methods. Is this just not possible?

Thanks in advance.

Juan

Juan,

You could try a different approach. Check out a tool called Web Service Studio. You give it the url to your service, http://localhost/service.asmx, and it will discover all of the methods available at that service and what their parameters are. Then, type your test parameters into the text boxes and click the Invoke button. That will call the web service and display the results.

One advantage of using this tool is that you can test a web service even if its web.config is set up to disallow GETs and POSTs.

Here is a link to the tool:

Mindreef SOAPscope is another, more sophisticated tool, but it is not free:

Thanks! This will do just fine.

Use Asp.net ajax with running the installation program.

Can asp.net ajax be deployed to a production server via a xcopy operation (as part of the application)? Is it possible to deploy without having to have the server admins run the ajax installation program on the production server?

Thanks

Copy the System.Web.Extensions and System.Web.Extensions.Design from the GAC of your local pc into the bin directory of you production server. Ensure that your web.config has the required setting for Ajax Framework.

How to copy System.Web.Extensions and System.Web.Extensions.Design from GAC? Can I copy this assemblies from C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025?

Whats the "required settings"?

Is that enough:
