Publish a Web site

1.On the Build menu, click Publish Web Site.

2.In the Publish Web Site dialog box, click the ellipsis button (…) to browse to the location to which you want to publish the Web site.

You can write the Web site output to a local or shared folder, to an FTP site, or to a Web site that you access with a URL. You must have Create and Write permissions in the target location.

3.To be able to change the layout (but not the code) of .aspx files after publishing the Web site, select the Allow this precompiled site to be updateable check box.

4.To name strongly named assemblies using a key file or a key container, select the Enable strong naming on precompiled assemblies check box, and then click OK.

Publishing status is displayed in the taskbar. Depending on the connection speed, the size of the site and the types of content files, publishing time can vary. When publishing is completed, the status of Publish succeeded is displayed.

5.Make any configuration changes that are necessary for your site. For more information, see How to: Configure Published Web Site Projects. You might also want to encrypt specific configuration settings. For more information, see Encrypting Configuration Information Using Protected Configuration.

Accessing Config File Mail Settings Programmatically

The .NET Framework 2.0 provides APIs for accessing settings in a configuration file. Here's how you access the mail settings of a config file programmatically:

using System.Configuration;
using System.Web.Configuration;
using System.Net.Configuration;

Configuration configurationFile = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("PathToConfigFile");

MailSettingsSectionGroup mailSettings = configurationFile.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings") as MailSettingsSectionGroup;

if (mailSettings != null)
{
int port = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Port;
string host = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Host;
string password = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.Password;
string username = mailSettings.Smtp.Network.UserName;
}
===============================================================

object path = "~/WebRegAdmin";
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);

ConfigurationSection appSettings = config.GetSection("connectionStrings");
if (bEncrypt)
{
appSettings.SectionInformation.ProtectSection "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider");
}
else
{
appSettings.SectionInformation.UnprotectSection();
}
config.Save();

log4net DLL

log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets. In case of problems with an application, it is helpful to enable logging so that the problem can be located. With log4net it is possible to enable logging at runtime without modifying the application binary. The log4net package is designed so that log statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a high performance cost. It follows that the speed of logging (or rather not logging) is crucial.

At the same time, log output can be so voluminous that it quickly becomes overwhelming. One of the distinctive features of log4net is the notion of hierarchical loggers. Using these loggers it is possible to selectively control which log statements are output at arbitrary granularity.

log4net is designed with two distinct goals in mind: speed and flexibility

•Support for multiple frameworks
•Output to multiple logging targets
•Hierarchical logging architecture
•XML Configuration
•Dynamic Configuration
•Logging Context
•Proven architecture
•Modular and extensible design
•High performance with flexibility
