Migrating from another Server

[g1media]

I have a very small app (inc. Reporting Services) which was written for me by a contractor and I would like to migrate it to Red Fox.
I already have a Premier Account.
I am not that experienced with ASP and have noticed server-specific code here and there in the app and I'm not sure about what to change it to.
Any of you very kind guys out there willing to help?
One such server-specific piece of code is "com.mysite4now.reportexecution2005", which exists in the PDFGenerator.vb file.

TIA.

Without seeing the code there is no way to help you. However, it the person who wrote it hard coded server specific settings in the code they want slapping. That sort of thing should ALWAYS go into the config file, so that it can be changed without touching the code.

Having said that, at a guess they would need to be changed to the RF equivelent settings.

Cheers Tanzy. I was just about to post the following, as I realised how vague I'd been, when I saw your post.

If I was able to get a handle on what's happening here (in the highlighted red lines), and what the RF equiv would be, that'd give me something to get my teeth into.


====================================
Imports com.mysite4now.reportexecution2005
Imports com.mysite4now.reportservice2005
Imports CustomExceptions
Imports DataAccessLayer
Imports log4net
=====================================

====================================
Imports com.mysite4now.reportexecution2005
Imports com.mysite4now.reportservice2005

These lines make it look as though it is linking to a web service. If this is the case check your web.config file for the url address of the web service, and you should be OK to just update it there. The com.mysite4now.* is the namespace that is being used so don't worry too much about that.

Imports log4net
=====================================

This is for log4net, which is a logging application. It may be possible that where it was hosted this dll was in the GAC so not needed. If you go to http://logging.apache.org/log4net/download.html you will be able to download Log4Net. Then just put the log4net.dll into the websites bin folder.

Hope this helps, shout if you need a better description.
