Thanks.

Something that would be handy straight from the team is how to handle ASP.NET (2 and later) form events when a Master page is added after the fact.

Say for example a contact page with a button event to submit, but once a Master page is added the contact page lost it's form to the Master page.

Greetings!

Whenever I think of debugging, I think of this and have been meaning to get info from you guys, though it may not be considered debugging in the proper sense.

I've been using Log4Net now as a great debugging tool for my web apps. Any exceptions that are caught are logged and the end user sees a friendly error page. From there I can use a web tool I created to view the error log and see where to proceed. When things get really crazy, I crank up the logging level to get individual details of variables and such.

I've heard the Enterprise Library for .NET finally did a similar library, but I haven't had time to check it out. Have you had any similar experiences with Log4Net, Enterprise Logging, or any other tools for debugging your web apps?

Francois Ward — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:15:39 GMT

I don't know if that fits in IIS/.NET/ASP.NET, since this is a wider scope question, so feel free to reject it:

I've been wondering for a long time: the guidances from Microsoft on how to do web apps (without MVC) in ASP.NET have come from the WCSF, using the MVP pattern and, among other things, the Object Container Datasource, which is great, but not part of stock ASP.NET

This is all great and nice, but what would you be your suggestion on a good pattern to make clean, well separated and easy to maintain enterprise level ASP.NET application using only the stock controls and librairies? Maybe a way to use the stock Object Datasource while still using MVP would be nice...

Do you understand what I mean? (if not, I'll happily try and clarify).

Hi,

I have a strange problem that I can't seem to fix. I've been doing development on an ASP.Net project for several months using VS 2005. Last Friday I did a compile and everything was fine. I got up Sat and without making any changes the compile failed with and error that Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll could not be found while trying to create a UpdateProgress control. I know the Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll was used on the AJax Beta which I have never used on this machine. Some of the pages were orginally developed using the Beta release but they were all converted using the 1.0 release. I gave up trying to fix it some I copied the project to another machine and the problem went away. I then decided to uninstall/reinstall VS 2005 and the AJax Extensions. The uninstall goes fine but after reinstall problem persist. I don't think the uninstall really uninstalls everything because when I try to reinstall the VS2005 service pack it says its already installed and when I open VS all the most recent project are displayed in the start page. Am I missing something on the uninstall? Do you know of a solution to the Beta dll problem? I'm about ready to format the drive and start over, but really don't want to.

After unistalling it, you can try deleting the files that AJAX uses. That may help. You can always call support. We can assist in fully removing the files and not needing to format the machine.

hello Tom

I want to create a User control called "PageNavigation" that contains Page Numbers (linkbuttons) and next and previous buttons.

The problem I am facing is that the click event of these linkbuttons inside the user controls are fired after the events on the container in which this user control is used.

I want the new page number in the container so that I can fetch the records from the DB based on the new page number. But the new page number is generated only in the user control which cannot be passed to the parent page.

I tried to fix this problem in the page render event control, but it is causing problems with other functionilty.

Do you have any idea how we can impelment this?

Tom,

I have a problem getting WinDbg to break on CLR exceptions. I've tried it on 4 different machines (XP & Vista; WinDbg 6.8 & 6.7; .NET 3.5).

In all of them I've tried entering: 'sxe clr', 'sxe clrn' or manually going into debug/event filters and setting both CLR and CLR notifications to enable (or output)/handle before the CLR loads, and yet it doesn't break on anything, nor does it print any message.

I can only assume I _must_ be doing something wrong. Do you have any idea of what the issue might be?

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Tom — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:03:55 GMT

Pedro,

What exception are you trying to break on? sxe clr should break on a managed exception. Are you seeing a message in the debugger saying an exception happened? If you see that, you can use the number listed in that and just do 'sxe <number>'

Tom — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:05:53 GMT

So sxe clr will only break when a managed exception occurs. If you want to break when the CLR loads, the easiest way is to use the sx command for breaking on a module load. So you can do:

sxe ld mscorwks.dll

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Pedro — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:47:09 GMT

Oh, I see (althogh this contradicts what is said on !help faq). But should it break when a class loads?

Actually my goal is to break on the Main method of my app, but for this to work I need to add a deferred breakpoint. I've tried setting it as soon as mscorwks and sos loads, doing:

0:000> !bpmd teste.exe teste.Program.Main

Adding pending breakpoints...

But it's no use; the debugger doesn't break on anything. This was the root of me suspecting the debugger wasn't being properly notified of things, as I suppose it needs to be notified that the class has been loaded and the method JITted.

The text that appears on !help bpmd has a guidance for setting breakpoints on the Main method, but it doesn't work (starting by using sxe -c "" clrn to break when the CLR loads).

Thanks a LOT again!

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Tom — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:08:12 GMT

sxe clrn should break with .NET is loaded, but 2.0 doesn't usually load mscorlib so I don't think that will work. I think that is useful for 1.x only.

If you want it on a managed exception, take a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/tom/archive/2008/02/25/howto-capture-a-dump-on-a-specific-managed-exception.aspx

You are right about it not being JIT'ed yet. You can break on when your managed dll loads. And then find your MethodTable of your class and run !dumpmt -md <method table> and find the MethodDesc of the function and do !bpmd -md <method desc>. You can also use !bpmd [<module name> <method name>] and it should wait for it to be loaded. Assuming you typed in the class and everything correctly.

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Pedro — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:31:34 GMT

Tom,

Thanks a lot for the links and your kind help.

I don't have a managed dll (the application I'm trying to debug is completely managed), so I can't really stop when it is loaded.

I've tried follwing Thottam R. Sriram's instructions (using his code, compiling from the command line, running the same commands as him etc.) on both WinDbg 6.8 and 6.7 and on both of them the debugger wasn't able to resolve the breakpoint and didn't stop when it should. I've also tested it on a colleague's computer, to no avail.

Mr. Sriram breaks after mscorwks.dll loads and sets the breakpont on Main. For me, that doesn't work. However, if I stop just after mscorjit has been loaded (sxe ld mscorjit.dll), I'm able to set the breakpoint -and it actually works! By then the CLR has already started and all the data structures seem to be in place, so I can use all commands (!dumpdomain, !dumpmodule etc) freely. The debugger tells me the code has not yet been JITted, but at least it finds the MethodDescriptor (which it never had before); when Main is in fact JITTED it prints a message, and soon after breaks.

If you stop to set the breakpoint on any other previous module load (on my computer the one before mscorjit is ole32), it doesn't work.

Is this the expected behavior? I've reproduced it on a colleague's PC.

Again, thanks a lot. Your help - and speed - has been outstanding!

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Tom — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:57:42 GMT

Yeah, you have to wait until the managed structures are initialized before you can do anything.

Remember bpmd is case sensative so you have to be careful. Both methods should work, but you just have to verify that everything is entered perfectly.

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Pedro — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 01:16:04 GMT

Yes, I'm sure I've entered everything perfectly :/ It just doesn't work. Should I file a bug somewhere (at least a doc error?)?

I don't mean to abuse your patience, so let me just ask this one last, unrelated question: is there anyway for me to do !savemodule on a dynamically loaded assembly? Whenever I try to do it I get "Fail to read memory"

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Tom — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:08:40 GMT

Pedro,

No worries about my patience :)

I'll see if I can repro this and let you know what I find out.

As for dynamic assemblies, !savemodule should work as long as there is a module. You can check running !dumpmodule -mt <module address> and see if that returns data.

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Miguel — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:43:11 GMT

Hi,

I am sorry for the long explanation below, but in order to understand the question I feel it best to provide you with some background information.

Here is our scenario:

We are using Client Certificates and forms authentication for our client's website. The idea was to provide a kind of fallback authentication so that if the User currently accessing the web site could not provide a valid certificate a login form would be shown where the user could enter his login data manually, otherwise the system would login the user with data obtained from the certificate. (This is all internal CAs).

The site subdirectory is configured to Accept (not require) Client Certificates and IIS 5 is being used.

If the user press cancel when being prompted by IE 6 to "choose a digital certificate" then ASP.NET can properly check that no certificate is present and then render the login controls; if on the other hand a valid certificate is provided then ASP.NET logins the user correctly and everything works fine. The problem arises when the users selects a Revoked or Expired certificate from IE 6; in this case IIS intercepts the error and does not allow ASP.NET the chance to execute any checking, event if we change the site custom errors to a aspx page we can't get back to a normal behavior once a "wrong" certificate has been selected, the only option seems to be to close the IE 6 instance and open a new one.

The question is then: Is there any way of making IE 6 and IIS restablish a SSL session, so that the user can be given the alternative to select a different client certificate, or can this error be trapped in any way from ASP.NET so that the SSL session be established as if no client certificate has been presented (in the same way it happens when the user clicks on cancel)?

Tom — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:27:01 GMT

Can you tell me the error you are seeing? A 401? What happens when the invalid certificate is presented?

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Pedro — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:22:31 GMT

Tom,

!dumpmodule -mt <address> works fine, and I can browse through all the data structures (methodtables etc.) without a glitch. This is what I get when I try to dump the module:

0:000> !savemodule 00925aa0 C:\test.dump

4 sections in file

section 0 - VA=2000, VASize=3664, FileAddr=1000, FileSize=4000

section 1 - VA=6000, VASize=b3, FileAddr=5000, FileSize=1000

section 2 - VA=8000, VASize=800, FileAddr=6000, FileSize=1000

section 3 - VA=a000, VASize=c, FileAddr=7000, FileSize=1000

Fail to read memory

This assembly has been dynamically loaded like this:

Assembly.Load(stream.ToArray());

where stream is an instance of a MemoryStream which contains the assembly (which used to be a resource - this executable was packed with .NETZ)

Do you happen to know the reason for this failure? Thanks in advance, for the millionth time!

Tom — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 05:40:27 GMT

It is hard to say based on that. Can you show me the output from !dumpmodule? Also, it would be easiest if I could take a look at the dump. Would that be possible?

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Miguel — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:57:42 GMT

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the interest. I get the expected 403.13 error when the user sends a Revoked Client Certificate; the problem is that we are unable to redirect the user to any other HTTPS page within the site afterwards, if I try a redirect you get the same error page in every case; I never get a chance to "reestablish the SSL session", that is I can't make the application proceed as if no Certificates were provided or make Internet Explorer present the "Choose certificate" dialog box again.

Best regards

And Pedro, when you execute the savemodule command, you are using .dll right? You put:

So I was able to reproduce this and see what is happening. I also see what would need to be changed. But SOS doesn't change very often so this will probably have to wait until the next Service Pack or something.

re: Got a question? Get an answer here

Tom — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:26:27 GMT

Miguel,

Sounds like it's by design and makes sense. If a new TCP connection is established, will IE just resend the same cert silently under the covers. If killing the TCP connection works, then a filter listening for the error could force the TCP connection closed. (can't you just do this in a custom error page?) Another option would be to redirect to a non-SSL page to do the forms submission. That would implicitly cause a different TCP connection to be used, and you could then POST to an SSL URL to maintain security. Also, instead of using a redirect for the custom error page, how about a static HTML error page that contains client-side script to initiate a new connection, or otherwise contains text that gives the user instructions on what to manually do next. As for the filter option, you'd be looking for either the send response or end of request notifications and look at the http status.

The windows forms control was created in its own solution. The dll was copied to the aspx web page root level. The dll was referenced in the aspx web page html object element, with passing data between the windows control and the aspx web page using paramaters and properties. The windows control has textboxes and buttons. The button logic accesses databases, etc.

I need to debug the windows control while debugging the aspx web page.

I have tried a lot of things but have not been successful. I need to do this ASAP! Any clues!

cnc,

If you have the source for the control, you can add a Debug.Break command in there and so when you run it under a debugger, it will stop at that point. Why are you wanting to use a windows form control on a web page. That is normally not something you want to do.

Has anyone ran into issue when debugging ASP.NET (VS 2005). New at a company and am the first with Vista laptop. What should happen is I sign in to the website from a URL as client or demo client to obtain login. Then go to VS run the application in debug to check my work. Well when I login into the URL It looks like it passes the login ASP page ok with permission as it call the Admin page I get a promt to login with a Window type dialog login. looks like its does this as it loads the client list grid.

The Idea is to login through the ASP login page then a page comes up to select which Client you want to login as then select where you want to go in the application. Which it does not matter we are just wanting to obtain login status. Then we can go to VS and start debugging.

Michael,

You can check the IIS logs or a network trace to see what type of authentication is being passed. Maybe the grid is using AJAX or something like that and has to make a request to another machine. If you log in there, does it work correctly?

I have a appliaction that uses Master Pages. Also I am also using a theme (in my web.config). There are some aspx pages in the application that have additional style requirements so is it possible to add a .css to an aspx. I do not want it in the theme because I do not want to carry the extra syle around with every page.

Christopher,

Yes you can add a .css file, it is the same as you would for a .htm file.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I've a strange issue that just came up. I have a web site that I've created. I've done maintenance to it for over a year.

Recently, I got a pop-up when starting to debug the code (f5) in VS 2005 with the latest service pack. The pop-up is the login screen for a SQL Server DB similar to when I configure a datasource object.

I use the role and membership provider and handle authentication in code on a login page for this web app.

Stranger still the default information was for an old configuration going to a DB I no longer use. I've searched the whole project and can't find a reference anywhere to this old db instance.

If I delete the Temporary ASP.NET File for this site and then run it, its fine for debugging till I get an exception in the debugger.

Right after that, the next time I start to debug, I get the pop-up again. Clear the files, it goes away.

Any suggestions on how I can PERMANENTLY fix this?
