'The controller for path '/favicon.ico' was not found...' error - c#

We're building an ASP.NET MVC 4 app in Visual Studio 2015. The app uses Elmah.MVC for exception handling. We're three developers; for two of us it's working fine on localhost, but one developer is getting this error (captured by Elmah):
The controller for path '/favicon.ico' was not found or does not implement IController.
This post provides a solution, and I've modified the routes to include it and the developer in question has synced his code:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new { favicon = #"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" });
Now nothing shows up in Elmah but the user continues to see a generic error:
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
What could be going on? Thanks.
Update 1: Ripped out the Elmah stuff from Web.config and just had the developer load the app. It gets into an infinite loop trying to authenticate the user, similar to this.
We're using OWIN-MixedAuth, and the issue is more than likely on the IIS Express settings. I'll have the developer try it tomorrow and confirm:
Highlight the project in Visual Studio
Open the 'Properties' panel on the right (or press F4)
Set 'Windows Authentication' to 'Enabled'
Set 'Anonymous Authentication' to 'Enabled'
As the name suggests, it's mixed auth, so both types of authentication have to be enabled.
Update 2: The OWIN-Mixed Auth issue has been fixed. Now, it has something to do with these three HTTP modules in Web.config used by Elmah:
<httpModules>
<add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah" />
<add name="ErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah" />
<add name="ErrorFilter" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterModule, Elmah" />
</httpModules>
When we comment them out, the one developer is able to get onto the site. What do these modules do? Why would they cause a problem?

Finally resolved the issue. We had to make two changes:
We're using OWIN-MixedAuth, and part of the issue was on the IIS Express settings (under "Development Server" section):
Highlight the project in Visual Studio
Open the 'Properties' panel on the right (or press F4)
Set 'Windows Authentication' to 'Enabled'
Set 'Anonymous Authentication' to 'Enabled'
Another part of the issue: a corrupted applicationhost.config file used by IIS Express:
Ensure you're showing hidden files in Windows Explorer.
Go to the root of your project via Windows Explorer.
Open the hidden .vs folder.
Go to config > applicationhost.config, make a backup, and open it in Notepad (Notepad++ is better).
Compare it to a working applicationhost.config file from one of our machines. We found lots of old sites that were listed in the config file which were not being used anymore.
Once cleaned up, launched the app and it worked.

Add this to your global.asax file.
routes.IgnoreRoute("favicon.ico");

IIS 10 can't read web.config (try to deploy Blazor), Error 500.19 with 0x8007000d [duplicate]

I am replicating web application deployment and found several issues related to HTTP Error 500.19. My machine is running Windows 7 while the working development is using Windows 8. We're developing our Web Application using Visual Studio 2010.
First, I got error code 0x80070021, similar as posted here.
I update my web.config according to the accepted answer and then I got following error code (which is similar as posted here).
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
Error Code 0x8007000d
Config Source -1: 0:
I have read the symptoms definition in Microsoft support page and cause of the error is:
This problem occurs because the ApplicationHost.config file or the Web.config file contains a malformed XML element.
and the solution is
Delete the malformed XML element from the ApplicationHost.config file or from the Web.config file.
However, the web.config that I used is working perfectly in the original development environment.
Here is what I have checked and tried so far:
Install ASP.NET by calling aspnet_regiis -i
Set my application to use different application pool (ASP.NET v4.0, .NET v4, etc)
ApplicationHost.config file is still using default from Windows 7.
This is part of my Web.Config
<system.webServer>
<section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
</modules>
<handlers>
<remove name="UrlRoutingHandler" />
<add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

<directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
<defaultDocument>

<add value="Logon.aspx" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
I have read similar/duplicates/closed posts (around 13) posts in stackoverflow, tried all except the answer related to Ajax (is it related) and still have no clue on what the error is.
Does anyone one how to fix this error? (And if possible, a comprehensive lists of things need to be checked so we can reduce similar posts like this.) I am ready to provide more details.
Error 0x8007000d means URL rewriting module (referenced in web.config) is missing or proper version is not installed.
Just install URL rewriting module via web platform installer.
I recommend to check all dependencies from web.config and install them.
When trying to set up a .NET Core 1.0 website I got this error, and tried everything else I could find with no luck, including checking the web.config file, IIS_IUSRS permissions, IIS URL rewrite module, etc. In the end, I installed DotNetCore.1.0.0-WindowsHosting.exe from this page: https://www.microsoft.com/net/download and it started working right away.
Specific link to download: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=817246
Yes, for .net core apps, install dotnet hosting. This worked for me.
And here it is for .net6
And now if you need .net7
Install URL rewriting:
UPDATE - this is now available here (and works with IIS 7-10):
https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
Ensure you have the following set to 'Allowed' for your IIS server:
In my case, because I had reinstalled iis, I needed to register iis with dot net 4 using this command:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
In my case (.Net Core Web API) for this issue HTTP Error 500.19 – Internal Server Error 0x8007000d
First download dotnet-hosting-3.0.0-preview5-19227-01-win (.Net Core 3) or dotnetcore 2 hasting windows
https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/5bed16f2-fd1a-4027-bee3-3d6a1b5844cc/dd22ca2820fadb57fd5378e1763d27cd/dotnet-hosting-3.1.4-win.exe
Any .net core 3.1 application either angular or mvc application would need this.
Second install it as Administrator
Open cmd as administrator, type iisreset, press enter
So refresh your localhost app

A repair of the DotNetCore hosting bundle did the trick for me. :/
Installing ASP.NET Core Runtime Hosting Bundle solved the issue for me. Source: 500.19 Internal Server Error (0x8007000d)
Kind of late to the party here, but I have just been struggling with the exact same issue (symptoms) and cursing the lack of error detail reporting.
It worked fine on IIS 8+ machines but Win 7 got these INSTANT HTTP 500.19 errors.
For me it was as silly as having an unsupported configuration element in the config file:
<applicationInitialization doAppInitAfterRestart="true">
<add initializationPage="/" />
</applicationInitialization>
So while running old web.config files worked fine, I just diffed them and started chopping away at new blocks until I got the page to start loading. Had I seen this as an answer I would have gone this route immediately as I knew none of the popular solutions were relevant. So there you go :)
I turn on .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5 Advance Service in Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn Windows features on or off.it work for me.
Problem solved. Here are the steps that I tried:
Enable the 32-bit application in IIS -> Application pool -> Advanced settings
Copy System.EnterpriseServices.dll and System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 to the application bin folder
Do comments/uncomments to sections on the web.config and found that problem related to the referenced DLL.
The config that I commented the previous one that I added:
<section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Allow"/>
Add the required FasterFlect.DLL used by Combres.DLL v2.1.0.0 to the application bin folder (shall download the full zip from Combres codeplex, because the required fasterflect DLL V2.0.3732.24338 cannot be found in fasterflect codeplex) and other DLLs. For convinience, use the full Combres.DLL (1,3MB)
Check that the DLL versions and public key tokens are configured correctly in web.config using tool, e.g. .NET Reflector
I understand that this error can occur because of many different reasons. In my case it was because I uninstalled WSUS service from Server Roles and the whole IIS went down. After doing a bit of research I found that uninstalling WSUS removes a few dlls which are used to do http compression. Since those dlls were missing and the IIS was still looking for them I did a reset using the following command in CMD:
appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
Bingo! The problem is sorted now. Dont forget to run it as an administrator. You might also need to do "iisreset" as well. Just in case.
Hope it helps others.
Cheers
For me, it was all about setting up my web server to use the latest-and-greatest tech to support my ASP.NET 5 application!
The following URL gave me all the tips I needed:
https://docs.asp.net/en/1.0.0-rc1/publishing/iis-with-msdeploy.html
Hope this helps :)
I had this problem with a brand new web service. Solved it by adding read-only access for Everyone on Properties->Security for the folder that the service was in.
I had the exact same error. It turned out that it was something was caused by something completely, though. It was missing write permissions in a cache folder. But IIS reported error 0x8007000d which is wildly confusing.
I have the same problem when I was trying to publish asp.net core 5.0 web app on my local IIS and the solution was to add the following inside System.webserver tag in my web.config file
<applicationInitialization doAppInitAfterRestart="true">
<add initializationPage="/" />
</applicationInitialization>
Reinstalling ASP.NET Core Runtime - Windows Hosting Bundle Installer made the trick for me... I belive the "ASP.NET Core Module" was missing.
For me I had a web.config file in one my root folders, this config file was for the live server so removing it allowed the site to run on the dev server.
So check for any web.config files in folders too.
In my case, i have installed dotnet hosting but error change to HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable, but after install windows update KB2999226 and dotnet sdk, its work!
follow the procedure chronologically or it might fail due to missing or errors in redirecting.
install Runtime bundle e.g.. dotnet-sdk-7.0....
2.turn asp services on and internet services"Turn Windows features on or off" to enable IIS
3.install web hosting bundle iis 7.0 e.g dotnet-hosting-7.0.2...
this worked for me

Error in “web.config” file when deploying website [duplicate]

I've encountered an error deploying a site to a server. When trying to load the home page, or access authentication on the new site in IIS, I get the error:
Config Error: This configuration section cannot be used at this path.
This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is
either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a
location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy
allowOverride="false".
More detail can be found here, in Scenario 7 matches my hex error code.
The solution given on the linked site above is to set Allow for overrideModeDefault in the section mentioned in my error, in the applicationHost.config file. In my case, under Security in system.webServer. But if I look at the applicationHost.config on my local computer, where the site is properly deployed already, that section is set to Deny.
If this solution is correct, how is my local instance running just fine with the same web.config? According to my applicationHost.config, that section should be locked, but it's not. I'd prefer to not change the applicationHost.config file, because there are many other sites running on that server. Is there another solution?
I had the same problem. Don't remember where I found it on the web, but here is what I did:
Click "Start button"
in the search box, enter "Turn windows features on or off"
in the features window, Click: "Internet Information Services"
Click: "World Wide Web Services"
Click: "Application Development Features"
Check (enable) the features. I checked all but CGI.
btw, I'm using Windows 7. Many comments over the years have certified this works all the way up to Windows 10 and Server 2019, as well.
You could also use the IIS Manager to edit those settings.
Care of this Learn IIS article:
Using the Feature Delegation from the root of IIS:
You can then control each of machine-level read/write permissions, which will otherwise give you the overrideMode="Deny" errors.
For Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8, the procedure is similar.
The Web Server (IIS) and Application Server should be installed, and you should also have the optional Web Server (IIS) Support under Application Server.
Browse to “C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config” (you will need administrator rights here)
Open applicationHost.config
Note: In IISExpress and Visual Studio 2015 the applicationHost.config is stored in $(solutionDir).vs\config\applicationhost.config
Find the section that showed up in the “config source” part of the error message page. For me this has typically been “modules” or “handlers”
Change the overrideModeDefault attribute to be Allow
So the whole line now looks like:
<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
After saving the file, the page loaded up fine in my browser.
Warning:
Editing applicationHost.config on 64-bit Windows
You need to unlock handlers. This can be done using following cmd command:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe unlock config -section:system.webServer/handlers
Maybe another info for people that are getting this error on IIS 8, in my case was on Microsoft Server 2012 platform. I had spend couple of hours battling with other errors that bubbled up after executing appcmd. In the end I was able to fix it by removing Web Server Role and installing it again.
1. Open "Turn windows features on or off" by: WinKey+ R => "optionalfeatures" => OK
Enable those features under "Application Development Features"
Tested on Win 10 - But probably will work on other windows versions as well.
I ran these two commands from an elevated command prompt:
%windir%/system32/inetsrv/appcmd unlock config /section:anonymousAuthentication
%windir%/system32/inetsrv/appcmd unlock config /section:windowsAuthentication
As per my answer to this similar issue;
Try unlocking the relevant IIS configuration settings at server level, as follows:
Open IIS Manager
Select the server in the Connections pane
Open Configuration Editor in the main pane
In the Sections drop down, select the section to unlock, e.g. system.webServer > defaultPath
Click Unlock Attribute in the right pane
Repeat for any other settings which you need to unlock
Restart IIS (optional) - Select the server in the Conncetions pane, click Restart in the Actions pane
This Did the trick for me, for IIS 8 Windows server 2012 R2
Go to "Turn on Features"
Then go to all default setting , Next, Next, Next etc..
Then, select as shown below,
Then reset IIS (optional) but do it safer side.
This is an additional solution as its a generic problem everyone have different of problem and thus different solution. Cheers!
The best option is to Change Application Settings from the Custom Site Delegation
Open IIS and from the root select Feature Delegation and then select Application Settings and from the right sidebar select Read/Write
On Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8 I have solved this by enabling ASP.NET 4.5 feature:
and then following ken's answer.
To fix this open up the IIS Express applicationhost.config. This file is stored at C:\Users[your user name]\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config
Update for VS2015+: config file location is $(solutionDir).vs\config\applicationhost.config
Look for the following lines
<section name="windowsAuthentication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<section name="anonymousAuthentication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<add name="WindowsAuthenticationModule" lockItem="true" />
<add name="AnonymousAuthenticationModule" lockItem="true" />
Change those lines to
<section name="windowsAuthentication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<section name="anonymousAuthentication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<add name="WindowsAuthenticationModule" lockItem="false" />
<add name="AnonymousAuthenticationModule" lockItem="false" />
Save it and refresh Asp.net Page.
In our case on IIS 8 we found the error was produced when attempting to view Authentication" for a site, when:
The server Feature Delegation marked as "Authentication - Windows" = "Read Only"
The site had a web.config that explicitly referenced windows authentication; e.g.,
Marking the site Feature Delegation "Authentication - Windows" = "Read/Write", the error went away. It appears that, with the feature marked "Read Only", the web.config is not allowed to reference it at all even to disable it, as this apparently constitutes a write.
Seems that with IIS Express and VS 2015, there's a copy of the applicationHost.config file at $(solutionDir).vs\config\applicationhost.config so you'll need to make changes there. See this link: http://digitaldrummerj.me/iis-express-windows-authentication/
Make sure these lines are changed per below:
<section name="windowsAuthentication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<section name="anonymousAuthentication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
<add name="WindowsAuthenticationModule" lockItem="false" />
<add name="AnonymousAuthenticationModule" lockItem="false" />
In my case it was that on server was not enabled "HTTP Activation" under .NET Framework Features. So for Windows Server 2012 the solution which worked for me was:
Server Manager -> Add roles and features -> Features -> make sure that under .NET Framework of version you want to use is checked "HTTP Activation"
The Powershell way of enabling the features (Windows Server 2012 +) - trim as needed:
Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Server -IncludeAllSubFeature
Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Features -IncludeAllSubFeature
Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-45-ASPNET -IncludeAllSubFeature
Install-WindowsFeature Application-Server -IncludeAllSubFeature
Install-WindowsFeature MSMQ -IncludeAllSubFeature
Install-WindowsFeature WAS -IncludeAllSubFeature
The error says that the configuration section is locked at the parent level.
So it will not be directly 1 config file which will resolve the issue,
we need to go through the hierarchy of the config files to see the inheritance
Check the below link to go through the File hierarchy and inheritance in IIS
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178685.aspx
So you need to check for the app config settings in the below order
ApplicationHost.config in C:windows\system32\inetsrv\config. Change the overrideModeDefault attribute to be Allow.
ApplicationName.config or web.config in the applications directory
Web.config in the root directory.
Web.config in the specific website (My issue was found at this place).
Web.config of the root web (server's configuration)
machine.config of the machine (Root's web.config and machine.config can be found at - systemroot\MicrosoftNET\Framework\versionNumber\CONFIG\Machine.config)
Go carefully through all these configs in the order of 1 to 6 and you should find it.
I noticed one answer that was similar, but in my case I used the IIS Configured Editor to find the section I wanted to "unlock".
Then I copied the path and used it in my automation to unlock it prior to changing the sections I wanted to edit.
. "$($env:windir)\system32\inetsrv\appcmd" unlock config -section:system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication
. "$($env:windir)\system32\inetsrv\appcmd" unlock config -section:system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication
I needed to change the SSL settings on a subfolder when i got this nice message. In my case following action helped me out.
Opened C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
And changed the value from overrideModeDefault="Deny" to "Allow"
<sectionGroup name="system.webServer">
...
<sectionGroup name="security">
<section name="access" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
</sectionGroup>
In my case, I got this error because I was operating on the wrong configuration file.
I was doing this:
Configuration config = serverManager.GetWebConfiguration(websiteName);
ConfigurationSection serverRuntimeSection = config.GetSection("system.webServer/serverRuntime");
serverRuntimeSection["alternateHostName"] = hostname;
instead of the correct code:
Configuration config = serverManager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration();
ConfigurationSection serverRuntimeSection = configApp.GetSection("system.webServer/serverRuntime", websiteName);
serverRuntimeSection["alternateHostName"] = hostname;
in other words, I was trying to operate on the website's web.config instead of the global file C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config, which has a section (or can have a section) for the website. The setting I was trying to change exists only in the applicationHost.config file.
In my case, it was something else.
When I loaded the solution in a new version of Visual Studio, VS apparently created a new project-specific applicationhost.config file:
MySolutionDir\.vs\config\applicationhost.config
It started using the settings from the new config, instead of my already customized global IIS Express settings.
(\Users\%USER%\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config)
In my case this was the setting that needed to be set. Of course it could be something else for you:
<section name="ipSecurity" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />
Received this same issue after installing IIS 7 on Vista Home Premium. To correct error I changed the following values located in the applicationHost.config file located in Windows\system32\inetsrv.
Change all of the following values located in section -->
<div mce_keep="true"><section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Deny" /> change this value from "Deny" to "Allow"</div>
<div mce_keep="true"><section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" /> change this value from "Deny" to "Allow"</div>
Can You try this:
Go to application path where you're getting deny error, right click
Properties->Security tab
In that, change the permissions and check the checkbox read and write. Then it will work without any error hopefully.
For Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7, the procedure is similar.
please refer to this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb763178(v=vs.100).aspx
in add role service, u will see "Application Development Features"
Check (enable) the features. I checked all.
In my case I was getting this error when attempting to update the authentication settings in IIS also in addition to browsing. I was able to remove this error by removing the authentication setting from the web.config itself. Removing a problematic configuration section may be less invasive and preferable in some cases than changing the server roles and features too much:
Section Removed:
<security>
<authentication>
<windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
</authentication>
</security>
I had the similar issue, but I used the following powershell script which helped me to achieve above steps in on button click.
#Install IIS
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server, Web-Asp-Net45, Web-Mgmt-Console, Web-Scripting-Tools, NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45, Web-Windows-Auth
the list of features can be added or removed based on the requirement.
I had an issue where I was putting in the override = "Allow" values (mentioned here already)......but on a x64 bit system.......my 32 notepad++ was phantom saving them. Switching to Notepad (which is a 64bit application on a x64 bit O/S) allowed me to save the settings.
See :
http://dpotter.net/technical/2009/11/editing-applicationhostconfig-on-64-bit-windows/
The relevant text:
One of the problems I’m running down required that I view and possibly edit applicationHost.config. This file is located at %SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\config. Seems simple enough. I was able to find it from the command line easily, but when I went to load it in my favorite editor (Notepad++) I got a file not found error. Turns out that the System32 folder is redirected for 32-bit applications to SysWOW64. There appears to be no way to view the System32 folder using a 32-bit app. Go figure.
Fortunately, 64-bit versions of Windows ship with a 64-bit version of Notepad. As much as I dislike it, at least it works.
I had the same issue.
Resolved it by enabling Application Server feature. Restarted iis
after that.
This worked for me
Also in IIS 8 you can solve this problem by changing the server to IIS Express. Goto debug->Properties
In the Web select the server as IIS Express from the dropdown and then rebuild the solution
To make a change at Application Level (Web.Config):
Please remove the Trust Level from the web.config:
Actually I was getting this error when I was trying to host my Website on the Hosting Server where I don't have control on their Server. Removing the above line from my Application web.config solved my issue.

Visual Studio 2012 Register Tag Prefix "Could not complete the action."

I have the following line of code:
<%# Register %>
When I attempt to add this line of code Visual Studio informs me of this non-informative message:
"Could not complete the action."
I remove even one character from the Register statement and it gives me that message. I type "<%# Register %>" and it gives the message.
I am attempting to add this line in full:
<%# Register TagPrefix="sc" Namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" Assembly="Sitecore.Kernel" %>
Some additional information:
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.
The Sitecore.Kernel has been added to the references in the application.
The Kernel itself is included in the application and is set to copy local.
The application builds correctly with this line of code applied and is correctly rendered by Sitecore to the page.
The Sitecore.Kernel is usable in the C# code behind.
Update: 11/26 4:28 PM This issue is now effecting all users of the TFS Solution.
Update: 12/2 9:38 AM We created a new solution and very slowly ported our code to it. Still looking for an answer to this question in case it happens again. This seems to be more of a Visual Studio question than a Sitecore one.
Update: 12/13 4:31 PM Fully ported to a new solution. So I assume a new solution is the fix to this issue.
Update: 1/14/2014: Still no answer. Bummer
Update: 3/21/2014: I added the Tag for Knockout.js because I think the addtion of the data-bind to the ASP markup has caused this issue. It causes intellisense to go bonkers and error out. User #Jeroen is also having this issue in Visual Studio.
Here's the relevant code:
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="sc" namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="Sitecore.Kernel" />
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add tagPrefix="sc" namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="Sitecore.Analytics" />
</controls>
You could add the prefix to the config file, to make it available to other pages in the project.
<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages>
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="sc" src="~/locationofcontrol" tagName="sitecore"/>
</controls>
</pages>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Take a look here for a thorough explanation.
can you delete or rename the suo file of your solution ? Before deleted please make a backup of your file.
The solution user options (.suo) file is a structured storage, or compound, file stored in a binary format. You save user information into streams with the name of the stream being the key that will be used to identify the information in the .suo file. The solution user options file is used to store user preference settings, and is created automatically when Visual Studio saves a solution.
I know this is a bit old, but here it is.
I was having the same exact issue, and was able to resolve it on my machine. What I had was a solution with multiple projects, and I was having this issue on of the projects. After long research, deleting .suo file, resetting VS settings...etc nothing worked. The message “Could not complete the action.” was still coming up. I then thought of checking another project in the same solution, and the other project did not give me the message.
What I ended doing to fix this is:
Close Visual Studio
Deleting the projectName.csproj.user file from the project folder
Open the solution... BAM the message is gone.
Hopefully this helps you solve your problem. Best of luck
This might be a couple of years too late, but I faced a similar issue. My issue was caused because I changed my build directories; instead of the default \bin directory, I changed my build directory to some other directory. When I changed the build directories to the original directory (\bin for web applications and \bin\Release or \bin\Debug for class libraries), this error disappeared.
In order to change your build directories, right click on each project, click Properties and then click on the build tab in the properties window. Here, change the "Output path" to the correct directory listed above.
This was happening to me as well. I use the Telerik asp controls and updated to the recent control-set. Well when ever I click on a file from the solution explorer to view in the designer, that irritating dialog window just spammed the hell out of me.
I opened other web projects that do not use the Telerik controls and the pages worked fine in designer mode.
So on my Telerik-controlled project I uninstalled the recent update and reverted back to the older set and it's back to normal. No more pop-ups.
I don't know what configuration changes need to be made to use the new Telerik control set so I'll just stick to the older set for now.

ASP.NET website pages not reflecting recent changes

I have been working on a new intranet site for a few weeks now, and everything has worked as expected. If I made any changes whatsoever (added raw text, new controls, etc) to my .aspx pages, and then tested them in VS(F5), all changes would be reflected immediately in the browser. Anything as simple as adding a <br> tag or as complex as adding a set of nested controls would show up upon a debug restart.
Earlier today, everything was working. Then I decided I wanted to play around a bit with some of the AjaxControlToolkit goodies. I ended up installing the SP1 Update 2 for VS that was released today (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38188) while I was at it, as well as updating NuGet and installing the AjaxControlToolkit from there.
I added a couple tools, including a ScriptManager and an UpdatePanel, and everything worked as I expected. I then went to make a few changes, and added a second ScriptManager accidentally. When I went to debug/run, it of course failed because you cannot have more than one on a page, so I removed the extra one and ran again. It again gave the same failure. I went through and made sure I didn't accidentally add another one somewhere, did a search on all files in my project and it was the only instance of it, so I commented it out and ran it again. Same thing. I tried a few things and ended up restarting IIS and VS and then the page behaved as expected.
Since that point, any changes I make in ANY of my files in the project no longer update without exiting IIS and restarting it. New, very basic aspx or html files in the project do the same thing. I then reverted to the restore point before updating VS, and used a backup of my site from earlier in the day before I added the AjaxControlToolkit, and still, the problem persists.
What is going on here? I feel like its related to the VS update, but that doesn't really seem to make sense. I can't see such a major bug being overlooked? Why isn't IIS serving the updated page?
Ctrl+F5 in browser does not reflect changes. Rebuild of entire solution does not reflect changes. Closing and reopening browser does not reflect changes. Changing my web.config does not reflect changes. Creating a brand new empty web site and the problem persists. Change to Visual Studio Development Server instead of IIS, problem persists.
The only way I have found to force the correct, updated page to serve correctly is to "Stop Site" in IIS and then restart, which is simply way too much of a hassle to check minor changes to anything in my page.
I am using Visual Studio 2012 Express, IIS Express, .NET 4.0, C# code-behind, files are on an intranet file system (mapped to x:), separate from my actual production hosting server.
Just in case (though I don't think it matters since the problem is now occurring even with a fresh web site) here is my web.config (which is very basic):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<httpRuntime />
<pages>
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="ttw" src="~/Controls/CustomerInformation.ascx" tagName="CustInfo" />
<add tagPrefix="ttw" src="~/Controls/CircuitInformation.ascx" tagName="CktInfo" />
</controls>
</pages>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=EmulateIE9" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and I hope a solution will aid others who may be experiencing the same issue after this most recent update.
Sounds like a permissions issue. Either the mapped network drive is using credentials that don't have adequate permissions or the IIS app pool identity doesn't have permissions to the folder.

Enabling Session State in SharePoint 2010?

I have a web service built for SharePoint 2007 that I am trying to port to SharePoint 2010. This web service is dependent on session state to function properly, but so far, I have been enable to get session state to work at all in SharePoint 2010. This web service runs as its own web application under t
he /_vti_bin virtual directory. I have tried all of the following with no luck:
Ensured the "State Service" service application is running.
Added the System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule http module to my application's web.config file.
Added the System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule http module to my SharePoint root web.config file.
Added <pages enableSessionState="true" /> to my application's web.config file.
Added <pages enableSessionState="true" /> to my root web.config file.
Additional Environment info:
Visual Studio 2008 - SP1
.NET 3.5 - SP1
SharePoint 2010 - RC
Windows Server 2008 R2
ASMX web service (not WCF)
Had anyone had any luck getting a web application or web service to use session state in SharePoint 2010 yet?
Thanks!
Steve
You've already answered this yourself somewhere else on the interweb. :)
<httpModules>
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" />
</httpModules>
THEN, you must go into your web application and add the same session state module to the IIS7 managed pipeline.
Open IIS 7 manager, and find your web application.
Double click "Modules" in the IIS section.
Click "Add Managed Module..." on the right hand pane.
In the Add Managed Module dialog, enter "SessionState" or something like that for the name, and choose the following item from the dropdown:
System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
After that, session state should be enabled for your web app/web service!
You may need to turn on the Session State Service. Use the PowerShell cmdlet Enable-SPSessionStateService. This will create a Session State database and start the service in SharePoint 2010.

Joshua's solution helped point me in the right direction but I had to make some variations for my scenario - an ASP.NET 3.5 Web Site deployed to the _layouts folder.
Here are the steps that worked for me:
changed the <pages> tag in the web.config for the Web Site to <pages enableSessionState="true" />
Added the System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule module at the Sharepoint website level (not the entire IIS level - that'll break the Central Administration, I tried :( ) as per #Joshua's solution. If you're deploying a Web Application instead of a Web Site, you'll want to add it at your Web Application level.
Adding the SessionState HTTPModule below to the web.config didn't seem to have an effect for me, probably because I was riding on Sharepoint's web.config as my project was a Web Site and not a Web Application. Not too clear on this issue.
<httpModules>
<add name = "Session" type = "System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" />
</httpModules>
Do like below:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllrequests>
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" />
</modules>
modules is an xml tag. I don't know why, this post is not taking xml tags..
Thanks
Carol
