Hi,

I am getting a server error when I tried to load a page that was deployed in server, which does not appear when I browse the page local using visual studio. I am using VS 2008 and WCSF. Project and other Dlls are all there. What else is missing? Any ideas to resolve this?

New Post: security.authorizationruleprovider - rules with spaces in them

AndersM — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:29:13 GMT

For future fellow googlers the answer is to use the XML entity for quot

&quot;

<add expression="R:&quot;halamerica\Domain Users&quot;" name="AllowAccessAdminPages"/>

New Post: Roadmap for 2012 and beyond?

Sagarag05 — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:38:05 GMT

Hi blainew/brumfb,

Reading at your reply on using project silk as Web Client Developer Guidance (Software Factory) is no longer supported, does Silk support a hybrid model of simultaneously using asp.net legacy pages (aspx) and new views/controllers etc that Silk would bring ?

We know that aspx and MVC could co-exists but not sure if using Silk with legacy aspx pages would work?

I'm currently using Web Client Software Factory and was thinking for a better alternative to it since it's sort of deprecated.

Any recommendations for this?

Hi,

Based on the aforementioned links, it seems that Microsoft no longer maintains this projects and no future releases are planned for them. Future developments of these assets are now undertaken by the community.

Hence, I believe you could try migrating the source code of the WebClientFactory Guidance Package project from VS2010 to VS2012. In which case you may find the following MSDN article useful:

How to: Upgrade Visual Studio SDK/VSIX Projects to Visual Studio 2012

Also, I believe you could check the following site: Open GAX/GAT, which contains the open-source version of the GAX/GAT projects which is also required by this extension. There you could also find useful information if you plan to migrate VS2010 extensions to VS2012.

Thanks for your guidance.

I know, But:

We created our projects based on WCSF and we can't go back.

All they work in vs2012, but we cannot add any WCSF item, because cannot enable WCSF guidance package.

However:

Are your help us, how we can add them from Web Client Software Factory 2010 Source Code.

Also, I cannot find relate between "Roadmap" and "WCSF"!

Hi,

As far as I know, the latest version of this VSIX package was designed to work with Visual Studio 2010 and according to the note in red in the Visual Studio Gallery Site it seems that there are no plans for new releases of this package in the future.

However, as far as I know, you can download the source code for this package in the Downloads page and modify it accordingly to your needs:

Web Client Software Factory 2012 Source Code

Also, I believe you could find the following thread interesting:
