System.Data.DataSetExtensions Config Error in Visual Studio 2008 RTM

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

http://cgaskell.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/systemdatadatasetextensions-config-error-in-visual-studio-2008-rtm/

What’s happened is there is no more an assembly System.Data.DataSetExtensions with version number 2.0. There is a new version for the same assembly name under 3.5.0.0.

To resolve the problem, simply right-click on the web application, properties, then remove the reference to the 2.0.0.0 assembly.

Then, right-click on the web application solution, Add Reference, locate the System.Data.DataSetExtensions and add a reference to it. You may also need to update the entry web / app.config file under the <assemblies> tag. Update the version to 3.5.0.0

Increasing the upload size in the MetaBase

Setting upload limit

If you are hosting on a Windows platform, you can alter the size limit for uploaded files via the metabase file. This is particularly useful when setting up a new server, since the default limit is just 200k.

The metabase file is locked by default. You can unlock it by going into IIS, and right-clicking on the (local computer) option and selecting Properties. Check the box next to Enable Direct Metabase Edit.

Now browse to C:windowssytem32inetserv and find the file : metabase.xml. Open it in Notepad and search (Ctrl-F) for “AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed”. Edit the value next to AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed - this is the upload limit expressed in bytes. Save the metabase.xml file.

You may want to uncheck the box next to “Enable Direct Metabase Edit” in order to re-lock it.

Setting download limit

If you want to set a download limit, follow the above instructions, but in metabase.xml edit the value “AspBufferingLimit” to your new value and save the metabase.xml file.
