How to get an Access database on the web from my own computer

I have an Access database project in inetpub/wwwroot/Access2 . I build it,
and then press cntrl-F5. - I still get the development server - Version
Information:
ASP.NET Development Server 8.0.0.0, instead of IIS.

This is a serious problem. How does one get an Access database on the web,
using one's own computer(I have windows xp pro).

You want to know how to access it? You can use ADO.NET and the Jet
data provider. Those are good keywords to google.

Hi Dennist,

Welcome.
From your description, when you start running your web application which
located in IIS, you always see that it is started in VS2005 development
server (rather than iis )?

One thing we can check is whether you're opening the web site through IIS
(http) or filesystem? If we open a website through filesystem, then no
matter it is a virtual dir in IIS or not, the VS2005 will always use
internal developmente server to run it..... So please make sure you opened
the website through HTTP.....

BTW, I'm also curious at why don't you put access database file in web
application's App_Data folder? This is the recommended location where we
store the database files for web application.......

Thank you,

I fail to see how creating a windows form can get my access database on the
web. This is probably due to my ignorance, but I thought that was what
asp.net was for. Could you be so kind as to be more specific?

Perhaps point me to a sample or walkthrough, or an article. I've done a lot
of searching. There are books that'll answer the question - I'm speaking of
asp.net 2.0 and visual studio vs 2005 - but they won't be published until
January through April of next year.

Much appreciated.

First, in the future, I'll put the database in the app_data folder.

Try as I could, once the application was open, I couldn't find whether it
was http or file system. Could you tell me how to do that?

Thanks for your quick response Dennist,

And for how to open web project, it is choosed at the begining when we open
a website in vs 2005. Here is the steps:

1. File---> Open WebSite

2. In the opened "Open WebSiteDialog", there will appear several buttons in
the left view, they're:

FileSystem, Local IIS, FTP Site, Remote Site....

We should choose LOCAL IIS, and specify the HTTP url of our web application
(in the IIS)

this will make it be opened as IIS hosted web application rather than file
system....

[Guest]

Steve, thanks

But how can I find out this information about an already existing project,
the project we're discussing?

[Guest]

Steven,

I decided to open a new project. However on the left side, my choices are
only File System, HTTP, and FTP. The default url was
http://localhost/WebSite. I changed that to http://localhost/HS1

Is everything OK so far?

I put the database into C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\HS1\App_Data

I dragged an AccessDataSource and a DetailsView to the Design surface. I
build the solution and website successfully and pressed cntl+F5

I local development server did not appear among the icons.

However the url in IE was http://localhost/HS1/Default.aspx, and at the
bottom of the page was the message local intranet.

I assume by that that I'm still not using IIS and am not on the internet.

[Steven Cheng[MSFT]]

Hi Dennist,

For already existing ASP.NET application (in .NET 2.0 / VS2005), this is
projectless, so there is not project file which contains such info( IIS or
filesystem), an asp.net 2.0 application(project) is just a normal
folder.... So if we know that the webproject (folder ) has been
configured in IIS, we should choose the (IIS/HTTP) panel to open that site
in IIS through http path rather than point to the physical dir on
filesystem through file path ...........

And if it is contained in an solution, then the solution file may contains
the website's location info(IIS or filesystem...)

[Steven Cheng[MSFT]]

Hi Dennist,

I meaned the left panel in the dialog popup through
"File--->Open--->WebSite". And there has a "Local IIS" button in the left
bar, yes? When we click it , in the right Panel there will displaying the
current IIS virutal dir hierarchy, yes? Then, we choose the virtual dir we
want to open ...... That's just the way we open the website through
IIS/http....

Steven, aha, that's what you meant.

Yes, that works.

There is the open question of whether this is really on the web, or not, as
I queried in my last post. Since the development server didn't show up, I
assume its being hosted by iis, but I think it is still only being shown on
my computer, not the internet. My cousin, for example couldn't access the
site from his computer, could he?

dennist685

 

[Steven Cheng[MSFT]]

Thanks for your response Dennist,

As long as we choose the LOCAL IIS(http) to open the website in IIS virtual
dir, it is running through IIS rather than VS.NET development server. And
you can find the url in browser is

"http://localhost/vdirname/xxx.aspx....." , it is using the default 80
port of http which is used by IIS default website....

And as for

I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Vs 2005 or IIS. Actually, whether
the web application is on internet or can be visited by other internet user
depend on your computer's networking setting and environment. If your
computer is published on internet (have a public internet IP address...).
Of course, you can let other people visit your computer and site like:

http://ip address/vdirname/xxx.aspx......

or if you've registered an DNS name ( www.my company.com) for the public
IP address, you can also let other people visit through the DNS name
instead of IP address....
