Hi,
This project would require following skillset:
- knowledge of Windows 2003 server
- knowledge of IIS 6
- basic knowledge of C# (especially regarding Virtual Path Providers)
The task that needs to be solved is the following:
We have an ASP.NET 2.0 website. The website consists of some aspx pages which are loaded normally. The second part of the website consists of some xml files that DO NOT exist on disk, and which are created automatically when requested from disk.
For example: [login to view URL]
The file [login to view URL] does not exist, neither does the xmls directory.
For this to work, asp.net registers a virtual path provider like this (in the file [login to view URL]):
SamplePathProvider sampleProvider = new SamplePathProvider(); [login to view URL](sampleProvider);
This works fine when testing from within VIsual Studio 2005. However, after creating the IIS virtual dirs and trying to load the xml file without visual studio, it says that the page cannot be found. We traced the [login to view URL] page and the method in which the above code is located is being called. It seems that the above code fails silently.
Note: We are using digest authentication for the website. It was enabled in IIS and it works both from IIS and directly from VIsual studio. No problems here, this is just for info.
You need to solve the problem by desktop sharing.
