Empty the log file every time I write with Enterprise Library Logging - enterprise-library-6

I have Enterprise Library Logging used in my project which is working fine, but I need only the last entry to be saved at any time. Is there any configuration for that?
Below is my current configuration.
<add name="WorkflowListener" formatter="Workflow Formatter" fileName="..\#data\logs\Workflow_log.txt" timeStampPattern="yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss" rollFileExistsBehavior="Overwrite" rollInterval="None" header="" footer="" traceOutputOptions="None" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners.RollingFlatFileTraceListener, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />

Prevent inheritance of incompatible configuration section in child application

Project A
uses entity framework 4.4.0.0 and has below entry in web.config
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
Project B
uses entity framework 6.0.0.0 and has below entry in web.config
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
Project B is hosted under Project A in IIS (Project B was virtual directory, later converted to web application)
If I access project B, it shows message in browser that there is duplicate entry of entity framework.
I commented entry in project B
<!--<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />-->
This makes Project B run, but as soon it access data from database, an exception is thrown.
An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for entityFramework: Could not load file or assembly 'EntityFramework, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies.
I cant edit Project A EF or Project B EF, as I don't have access
Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
You can do that by disallowing inheritance of the section. To do so, you can add this atribute to what shouldn't be inherited in the parent web.config: inheritInChildApplications="false"
As explained here not all elements suport it, so perhaps you have to do it in a parent, and redefined all the other things that should be inherited: How to stop inheritance of <configSections>in Web.Config This is a good solution for it: Avoid web.config inheritance in child web application using inheritInChildApplications

ActiveReports WebViewer Looks great in Dev, bad in Staging

I have an ActiveReports WebViewer working great in my development environment. I deployed it to a staging server (Windows 2008 R2 which is IIS7) and I don't get errors, but the viewer looks all crazy. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been playing around with HTTP handlers and nothing changes the way it looks. The left pane of the viewer, which can be printing options or report parameters is stretched across the top and the images are broken. Also, the report area that normally displays the report is shrunken up and the report doesn't show. I don't have a high enough rep to post the screen shot, so I hope I have described it enough.
Please ensure that the Web.config on the staging server matches your Web.config on your dev machine ie, please make sure that the Version attribute on each assembly matches the version of your DLLs
<system.web>
<compilation targetFrameork="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Extensibility.v8, Version=8.0.133.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
<add assembly="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Diagnostics.v8, Version=8.0.133.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />

<add assembly="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.v8, Version=8.0.133.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
<add assembly="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Image.v8, Version=8.0.133.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
<add assembly="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.v8, Version=8.0.133.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
<add assembly="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.v8, Version=8.0.133.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
Next, ensure that the DLLs are being published to the bin folder on the staging server as well.

I figured it out. It was actually a css issue. I am generating the webviewer using JavaScript, like in the Mobile example provided by component one, though I extended it to do things a little differently. I hadn't copied over the css file! Whoops!
Make sure all the assembly references to GrapeCity.ActiveReports are set to Copy Local true.

entity framework code first migrations from seperate windows class library

i have a solution that contains an MVC project and windows class library project that uses entity framework and is a data access layer. I tried to enable migrations with the following package manager console line
Enable-Migrations -ProjectName PortlandRoad.DAL -ContextTypeName PortlandRoadDBContext -Force
I try to update the database using the following line
Update-Database -Verbose -Force
if i do this with the mvc project as the startup project it works, but uses the connection string in the mvc project web.config. If i do this with the dAL project as the startup project i get the following error :
A file activation error occurred. The physical file name '\PortlandRoadDB.mdf' may be incorrect. Diagnose and correct additional errors, and retry the operation.
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
the app.config file for my DAL project is as follows :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>

can anybody tell me how to correct this so that the migrations work specifically for the dal project and are not dependent on the MCV project being the startup project
thanks
I've the same issue in a WPF project.
I think that you have two options.
Option 1
At startup in you windows project try to specify the correct path to your database using
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("DataDirectory","your\physical\path");
With this, you will have the same error but your migrations can still being applied to your principal database.
option 2
Find a way to replace dynamically this |DataDirectory| in your app.config file before starting your application. (.bat , or .ps or ...).
another option: The bad one.
Before running your migration change the path to you DataDirectory to a physical temporary one in your app.config (this file will help you keep up to date migrations history)
before launching your application replace the temporary file path by |DataDirectory| and change this parameter in your startup with the App.config
With this work around, if your are planning to deploy your application, you will keep track of all migrations in order to anticipate futures database modifications.
VoilĂ .
Could it be that you're using "|DataDirectory|" in the connection string in the DAL project? Since "|DataDirectory|" is an Asp.Net folder and the DAL project is not an Asp project it probably doesn't recognize that as a directory and it probably doesn't exist thing the DAL project.

Entity Framework 5 Code Migration doesn't create database

I'm trying to use Entity Framework 5 Code First.
I've created model classes and context.
After that following Microsoft instructions I've enabled code migrations.
Than I skipped running my application (during which DB should be created first time) and use Add-Migration command. Migration was generated successfully.
Update-Database call was also successfull. But I'm not seeing my DB at all. It is absent!
SQL Management Studio and Visual Studio Server Explorer show only 4 default system databases and that's all!
I also tried to launch my application - it doesn't change anything.
I'm using
public MyContext() : base("name=MyContext") { }
such type of constructor (so I need specify connection string with MyContext name.
Here is my app.config example:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="v11.0" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
</entityFramework>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="BettyContext" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" connectionString="Data Source=MyDB.sdf"/>
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
I have no idea what's going on. Seems that no one has such problem. May be I've missed some evident thing, but howbeit I'm waiting for some help.
Do you see an exception? If you don't see an exception you probably are not looking at the right database. You can try adding some data to the database with your app and then read it. If the data can be successfully added and read and you still don't see the database it would confirm that you are looking at wrong database.

'compilerVersion' attribute in the provider options must be 'v4.0' or later

Getting this error:
The value for the 'compilerVersion'
attribute in the provider options must
be 'v4.0' or later if you are
compiling for version 4.0 or later of
the .NET Framework. To compile this
Web application for version 3.5 or
earlier of the .NET Framework, remove
the 'targetFramework' attribute from
the element of the
Web.config file.
It was working on our dev system, and we are now deploying to QA using an xcopy type deploy.
We don't have a "compilerVersion" anywhere in the web.config, and the targetFramework is set to "4.0". We have done an IISReset.
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Data.Linq, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
<add assembly="System.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
UPDATE 2: when we removed the entire section, we got past the error. So my question is, what is wrong with leaving in this section if we are on .NET 4.0?
We just did a full xcopy of exactly what was in Test to QA, and in QA it gets the error and DEV doesn't. So the software and configs are identical. Why would it work on one server and not another? IIS options seem to be identical.
taken from: http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/aspnet4/breaking-changes#0.1__Toc256770150
you should go to your server root web.config and include the whole
<system.codedom>...</system.codedom>
tag content into a
<location path="" inheritInChildApplications="false">...</location>
tag

After fighting with this for a while, I ended up creating a new IIS site using a different port and adding my ASP.Net 3.5 application to the new site and it is working perfectly.
I got the same error and found out that my v4.0 website was hosted under the default website that was v2.0. If you've such setup then you need to remove the following line from your web.config:
<compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
I hope that helps.
