Problem with: Access to the path '$(sourceFolder)\Foundation\Articles\serialization' is denied

Server Error in '/' Application.
Access to the path '$(sourceFolder)\Foundation\Articles\serialization' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '$(sourceFolder)\Foundation\Articles\serialization' is denied.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via , the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in File Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Iv tried suggestions taken from the following:
Problems with error: "Access to the path is denied."
1) Open Internet Information Systems (IIS) Manager
2) Expand the site you want to modify (hit the plus next to the name)
3) Right-click the directory where you would like to be able to write files and select Edit Permissions
4) Click on the Security tab
5) Click on Edit... under the group and users list
6) Select IIS_IUSRS from the "Groups or user names" list and add make sure the Allow checkbox is marked for Write.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource when accessing temp folder
a really simple fix to solve my issue, in IIS I had to right click on Application Pools and set .NET Framework V4 to Integrated rather than classic/.
Another solution was to set the specific folder that was being accessed to read/write to the users that required it, this can be done by unique users or within an organization, a group of users
(https://stackoverflow.com/a/47503132/19587900)
(1) I have gone to wwwroot folder. Right-click and security tab. Provided IISUSER to set read and write permission to the wwwroot folder.
(2) Changed the application pool to the separate pool and set identity to Application pool Identity.
Iv tried other things but so far no success

Looks like you're trying to create a folder that starts with "$(sourceFolder)", that's not going to work well. Are you missing a variable definition like:
<sc.variable name="sourceFolder" set:value="c:\whatever" />

AWS CDK - How do you fix the "Fatal process OOM in insufficient memory to create an Isolate" error?

I am trying to work some examples with the AWS CDK using C# as the language. My platform is Windows 10. Edit: I forgot to mention, I'm using a 64-bit Windows 10 and I have 16 GB of RAM.
I've followed the Getting Started instructions here: Getting Started With the AWS CDK, including making sure I have all the prerequisites.
I can create a project just fine, but when I try to use synth or deploy, it get the following:
Unhandled exception. Amazon.JSII.Runtime.JsiiException: Child process exited unexpectedly:

I have searched repeatedly for this error, and all the search results point to node.js. But none of the solutions (all involving some form of setting max-old-space-size) work to clear this for me. As far as I can tell, all my Node and JS installs, as well as the CDK install are up to date.
I can repeatedly duplicate this by creating a new project, then trying to run synth or deploy on it:
cdk init app --language csharp
cdk synth
I've been struggling with this for several days and have no more ideas. Any suggestions would be welcome.

how to deploy a Webapi project (coupled with EF & LocalDb) to Azure

Quickly to get a feeling on azure, I created a webapi project which uses EF and Local DB and it has some crud operations.
Then I signed up to Azure, created a WebApp and then downloaded the publish profile.
Using VS 2013, deployed the application to Azure. Navigated to index.html everything is working fine.
The problem is when I try to execute a simple HttpGet (which returns the value from the LocalDB), I am getting the below stack trace.
<Error>
<Message>An error has occurred.</Message>

I also see there are no options to create a LocalDb in Azure Website.
I initially guessed since I am using CodeFirst approach, Azure will automatically create the database for me.
EDIT: I have seeded the database and added some sample data to the localdb. The api works just fine in my local machine.
Any inputs on this please ?

You should use Azure SQL Database instead of local DB.
You will still use CodeFirst.
Here is how to do it :
Enable Migrations, create the database, add sample data and a data initializer
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-rest-service-aspnet-api-sql-database/#enable-migrations-create-the-database-add-sample-data-and-a-data-initializer

Unable to validate data error with machine key set to SHA1

I have a simple .net application using the .NET 2.0 runtime in IIS 7.5 where I've changed the machine key in the web.config to use the following:
<machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="SHA1"/>
This works fine locally, but when I publish to the server I get an "HttpException (0x80004005): Unable to validate data" whenever browsing the site. I've made sure to set compilation debug="false". Setting the validation method to 3DES eliminates this issue, but we have a requirement to work with SHA1. Is there some configuration option I'm missing here? see the stack trace below.

Are you running the application in an truly .NET 2.0 app-pool? (I am asking because you are using IIS 7.5).
If not, bear in mind that there has been a change in the encryption algorithms in the .NET 4.5 framework.
If you need to be compatible with the < .NET 4.5 Framework you will need a compatibility tag:
<machineKey compatibilityMode="Framework20SP1" />
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.configuration.machinekeysection.compatibilitymode.aspx or http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2012/10/23/cryptographic-improvements-in-asp-net-4-5-pt-2.aspx for details.

I found that when the local security policy for "System crytography:use fips compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing"(Security Settings >> local policies >> securityOptions) is set to true, Sha1 will not function, which is the reason why I'm getting the error in this case.

.Net 3.5 App Start Error

I have .net 3.5 app that I built in VS 2008. App works fine on my pc and other pc's i have tried. I have also published on several other production servers.
But my app on a particular server does not work. I have checked permissions, gave them to iisusrs, network service. Tried running process mon. but no luck. Would appreciate if somebody can help me.

The static constructor for Product.Global is raising a NullReferenceException. This is likely due to some hard coded value that is different or unavailable on that system.
Potential candidates would be localization issues (trying to parse strings in the wrong culture) causing a value to not be initialized, a missing configuration value, or anything else that is occurring within the static initialization of that type.
