Migrating Classic ASP to MVC 5 using Scaffolding

This week I started working on a new website application which will update a previously setup project in Classic ASP. The new application will be setup as Database First MVC Model as the current website already has lots of user demographics and trainings information.

I have read many documentation on MVC but haven’t gone about implementing MVC on a large scale project so this will be solution which will let me test out all possibilities of MVC. The application is using the default MVC project with Bootstrap 3 and updates applied from nuget Manager. I will also be using the github as a repository so code does not gets lost.

One of the things I right away ran into when I setup the scaffolding is the “default” database values not being populated, it’s the fault in the database setup but the issue is even noticeable in ASPNetRoles table.

After the auto generated controller was added, I have added the below line before the “SaveChanges()” is called to resolve a uncaught exception when creating a new role and I have removed the id input box on the auto generated Create.cshtml page.

aspNetRole.Id = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
db.AspNetRoles.Add(aspNetRole);
db.SaveChanges();


This is a beginning of the migration, I wonder what kind of hurdles I may run into, but hopefully they will not be showstoppers.

Completed UiPath - RPA Developer Advance Training

After a month of training, with late nights and weekends I have completed the UiPath RPA Developer Advance Training. The Level 1 Foundation Training pretty much covered all the basics of Desktop studio and workflows, only draw back was I started with the default foundation course which was for 2016, and all document reference links where pointing to 2016 version. I didn't understand it during the foundation training and kept switching to 2018 version document/page. Only after completing the Foundation course that I realized, I was suppose to have started with the 2018 version of Level 1 Foundation Training, but as it was optional I didn't have to retake the 2018 version, the 2016 was good enough for moving to level 2. The Level 2 Orchestrator 2018.3 Training as good. It gave good understanding of Queue's, Jobs, and schedules and I was able to complete the level two much faster then the level 1. The Level 3 UiPath Advanced Training was bit tough as it involved the a

KB 294807 - IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe

Resolved issue today of IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe by deleting "Windows Temp" folder files. We used Cygwin to customize some permissions of "Windows Temp" folder and after few hours the website stopped working. The search online was giving all kinds of different solution except what I was looking for. I was hoping the stackoverflow will have answers but even this post didn't cover the issue I was running into. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15302080/fastcgi-500-failure Restarting the IIS didn't work, but deleting temp files cleared the issue, but now the problem is how long before the site will go down again? Hope the issue is resolved for ever, if not; I will update this post later.
