IIS overrides Response.StatusCode and showing default error page instead of custom message in ajax

in asp.net/mvc whenResponse.StatusCode is set, IIS 7.5 by default capture the response and inject default page according to the status code.

My following code was working fine on IIS 6, but as soon as i port this code on 7.5 i started getting following issue.

Response.StatusCode = 404; return new ContentResult { Content = "Not Found"}; 

ajax({type: "POST",url: d,data: f,success: function(h, j) {

g.redirectUrl();

},error: function(j, h) {

b._displayError(j.responseText);

}});

404 - FILE OR DIRECTORY NOT FOUND.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

It should have shown error message "Not Found" message.

Solution: To avoid IIS to inject default page. Add following into the Web.config of your app.

<system.webServer>     <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />   </system.webServer>

Description: For Iphone, ipod, ipad you install some applications for internet, data-sharing, video chat, songs sync, or any kind of sync.

all these application depends on itunes in some or other way. when those required files are not located to access iTunes etc. these kind of issue occurs.

in my case it was issue with PdaNet, it is used to access iPhone internet plan on laptop/desktop. very good app indeed.

Resolutions:

1) Ensure Itunes is installed
2) iTunes releated services are running
3) go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and check for "sqlite3.dll ", if its there rename it.
4) go to C:\Windows\System32 and check for "sqlite3.dll ", if its there rename it.

Now check you application which was throwing this particular error. it should work.
after that check all application you have installed for IOS devices. make sure every app is working fine.

How to search Active directory for email and name of current NT user

You can search for your organisation's Active directory for particular user's email-id, first name, last name and many other vital information using LDAP.

what you need
1) LDAP Address
2) Any valid active directory credentials (e.g yours own)

No need to install any third party software etc.

Code snippet:-

var userWithoutDomainName = "skumar"

var entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DC=company, DC=com"/>, "username", "password");//username //is without domain
            var searcher = new DirectorySearcher{
                SearchRoot = entry,
                Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" +userWithoutDomainName + ")" };
            searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("Mail"); //email-id
            searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("givenName");//first name
            searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("st");
            searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn"); //Last name
            return searcher.FindOne(); //.FindAll() is also available, for example if you searching with name only //and there are chances of more than one user

in this way you can search the users from active directory, there are others properties are available to search for, you can google for it, if not found comment below, i will help.
