Need Help with Health Monitoring System

ryandoah · August 30th, 2006, 08:29 PM

Hi all,

I need some help dealing with the health monitoring system at the end of Ch.3, particularly the code on p.109-110.

As per the note at the bottom of p.109, I've added a new project to my solution to contain the WebCustomEvent class, which builds without errors, then added the class as a reference, which adds the bin directory to my main project containing the CustomEvents dll, but when I go to run web pages within the project, I get the following error:

Quote:

quote:Error 65 Could not load file or assembly 'DOAH.BugTracker.WebCustomEvent' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\BugTracker\Web.config 62

The code that I have is identical to that of the book, with the exception that I've traded out Marco's namesaces for those of my own, as follows.

Class Library Named: CustomEvents
Class File Named: WebCustomEvent.cs

Quote:

quote:using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Management;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace DOAH.BugTracker
{
  public abstract class WebCustomEvent : WebBaseEvent
  {
    public WebCustomEvent(string message, object eventSource, int eventCode)
      : base(message, eventSource, eventCode) { }
  }

  public class RecordDeletedEvent : WebCustomEvent
  {
    private const int eventCode = WebEventCodes.WebExtendedBase + 10;
    private const string message = "The {0} with ID = {1} was deleted by user {2}.";

    public RecordDeletedEvent(string entity, int ID, object eventSource)
      : base(string.Format(message, entity, ID, HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name), eventSource, eventCode)
    { }
  }
}

healthMonitoring code is located in the system.web section of my web.config file, as follows.

Quote:

quote:<healthMonitoring heartbeatInterval="10800">

The error seems to occur in the eventmappings section.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

If you have compiled your DLL for TBH_Events and you have used a namespace the issue may be there. Use ILDASM found in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\ildasm.exe" and check the assembly. After my first compile I discovered the namespace to begin MB.MB.TheBeerHouse... It was resolved by removing the default namespace from the project.

I've done like you suggested and can't seem to find anything that looks like what you're talking about. I've double checked all my pages to make sure that my namespaces are correct, and they are to my knowledge. The dll loads into my project, but when I build it, I get the error. :/

Ok, I've gone into the properies of the class library project->Application and tried to remove the default namespace, but it won't let me. I delete the info, but as soon as I try to remove focus from the defaulkt namespace field, it alerts me the the value is invlaild an refreshes the field to the removed value.

I've triple checked all my pages and everything seems to be exactly like the TBH site, again, with the exception that I've opted for my own namespace of DOAH.BugTracker vice MB.TheBeerhouse.

I've got the class library referenced, and still not luck. Please help.

Well, I think I've made some progress. I've completely unloaded everything and step by step reloaded and referenced the CustomEvent class library to the project.

Now I get a new error message: Error 65 Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0. /

I found the problem. I had something in the SqlWebEventProvider transcribed incorrectly.

What do you mean by "transcribed incorrectly"? What exactly was wrong with it? It may be the same thing I am doing wrong. Can you please help me? I am been dealing with this behavior for hours. It's been kicking my ass really bad.

I'm fairly new at this. But hopefully I can be of any help :-)

I had the same problem. And the solutions suggested didn't help.

Here is what I did:

1. Double-click on "Properties" folder in CustomEvents project
2. Make sure the assembly name is: MB.TheBeerHouse.CustomEvents
(or in your case: DOAH.BugTracker.CustomEvents)
3. Make sure default namespace is: MB.TheBeerHouse
(or in your case: DOAH.BugTracker)

Save the Properties and compile.

That seemed to work for me. I got passed the same error and everything compiles as of now... (knock knock on wood ***)

I apologize for not answering sooner, I've been away on business.

As for the problem, it took me a while to get the configuration to work like sats mentioned above, but I did get that to work. I'm not sure how much lag there is in updating certain changes(like these), but there seemed to be some, though I can't pinpoint from where.

Once I had the properties set and was convinced it should work, it still didn't work for me, so then moved to previous step where I had copied the event handler into the config file. Once I had that rewritten, it worked.

I can't confirm that I actually made any change at all to the event handler code, I went through it several times and couldn't find any errors, but once I copied the handler from the sample code, it worked.

Basically, the way I see it, I lucked out and all the pieces fell into their proper places, because I still have no idea exactly what was wrong in my code :/.
