I'm going to create my own project, and i have some difficulties with technology selection. I will have client application(windows forms) and web service. Data exchange between clients will be only by using this web service. Data will be like image stream,so I don't know which technology to use. I started to look at WCF, but i don't know a lot about it.
View 3 RepliesThe Dumps data are in the Excel file. Now I want o upload the data to sql server 2005(which are in web server) from client pc (from browser). What will be the best way to do so?
I can know how to upload data from excel to sql server 2005 if both are in the same computer.
If I have something like the following:
<asp:TextBox id="test" runat="sever"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="test"
ErrorMessage="Required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:Label runat="server" id="lblStatus"></asp:Label>
if in the code behind, I set the label to "You must enter a value if the textbox is empty" to validate it on the server side and this is fine, but if javascript is enabled, I don't want to show the client side validation and the server side label together. Is this something where I would just have to disable the client-side validators if javascript was enabled?

View 1 RepliesWe've got a client app which connects using TCP to a server. Additionally, the client app makes use of .NET remoting to talk to another piece of locally running code.
I'm tasked with creating a "Client Simulator" to do some testing, where we'd need to have 100's of clients connected simultaneously to the server. Ideally, this would work out great if I were to run each client in it's own space, such as a VM, but this is not logistically feasible.
how to handle this? Is there a tool that could do something like this? Or some sort-of .NET concept I could use?
I have a user control which contains a CustomValidator which is used according to whether a RadioButton is checked or not (there are several RadioButtons, I'm only showing the relevant one)
<asp:RadioButton runat="Server" ID="RadioBetween" GroupName="DateGroup" CssClass="date_group_options_control_radio" />
[code]...
There is some client + server side validation code (the server side code does exactly the same thing and is skipped for brevity)
<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidateDateFields_Client(source, args) [code]...
There are two instances of this control in the page. When running the client side version it hits the wrong one (the version of the control which is disabled). You can see from the generated HTML both are correctly specified. I'm not sure how .NET works out which clientside function to call given they both have the same name.
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator = document.all ? document.all["ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator"] : document.getElementById("ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator");
[code]...
Do i need to add something in to scope it? What's the best way to achieve this? If I disable the loading of the second control everything works fine.
I am looking for a way to integrate a web application with a client application that will sit on the users desktop. Our scenario looks like this user will click a link in the client server application that will launch an .ASPX and pass various parameters via a querystring. User will make form inputs on ASPX page and on that input, I need to be able to execute a .EXE on the client machine that will refresh the window in the client server application.
I have looked at some tutorials for using ActiveX for this, but they all seem out of date and the ones that I have been able run prompt the user with the Activex warning dialog, which I would like to avoid.
We need the a solution for our ASP.NET website. in which a user needs to activate his machine and next time if he visits the site then we need to check the machine is activated or not. if the machine is activated then we want to redirect the user on different page.
Is there any way by which we can get the client machine MAC address and store it our database?
I have found some solution in which this can be done but it works on on IE and some ActiveX setting needs to be done.We want this should work on atleast IE and FireFox.
I've a web services wich can invoke a pc on the internet when a new event has come.
How do I write the code?
Can some one inform me whether I need to replicate the same set of entities in the client which are similar to that of the ones in the server? I have planned to start a proj with service functions as wcf services and in turn they are getting referred in silverlight client application.
Incase if i need to consider casting to or back from the return value lists of service methods in the server, should i be creating entity class in the client application as well? Or is there a work around? Something like exposing the entities from the server just as the services functions?
I have a WPF Windows application with sqlite database which we distribute to our clients. The application consists of some database table which changes every month. eg. the application users a exchange rate table which is valid for one month.
What is the best approach to update the data in these table. note that the whole application is not changing but only the data in it changing, no change to structur of the database or table.
I am fresh new to asp.net. I try to convert my windows form into asp.net application. On my Windows form I use threads to monitor for changes in data sources to udpate my controls.However, I got no clue how to accomplish this in asp.net form. It seems I cannot create a thread in the page to update my controls in the page.
View 1 RepliesI am planning to convert desktop application which has to deal with lots of client resources like printer, Id scanner(driver license,passport & business card etc.), webcam etc.Now accessing client resources like files, scanners and webcam everything has to be done through client side scripting which is really pain. Due to nature of this product, I have to create image on client PC and extract information from it. (This is also pain in Vista and Windows 7 due to security permissions and all that stuff).
My ideal design would be making managed dll which takes care of dealing with images, printers, webcam (I have to apply pan, tilt and zoom), id-scanners. This is kind of component. And GUI would be web based Asp.net which simply calls the functions of managed dll. If the end-user is opening application on new computer, then it will ask just like flash or silverlight that you have to install component locally for the first time.Points which I worry: 1. If it logically correct or sounds stupid? 2. How to install managed dll at end-user's PC (C:/program files) and use it from asp.net code behind page.
My application is intranet application.so avoid stupid assumptions about privacy and ohhooo you want to access files from my PC and all those stuff. (end-user would never mind in giving credit card to restaurnt waiter who could do anything with it behind counter but allowing web application to access file which is created by application is privacy issue)
I have been using properties and have idea that using properties with private fields we can implement validations and buisness rules in them.
But I am just thinking asp.net client side validation controls provide good strength and they provide good user experience as well. They can be used for any type of validation (using regular expression) on client side and their re-use is possible on server side. When validation controls are a must and they are powerful; is making properties not just wastage of time ?
Is there still some use of properties ?
I am working on an application where it stores information that different clients will be using. I need to figure out how to show the current client logged in only what they have posted to the application and not everything that has been posted to the application. Client 1 logs in and sees what they have posted; client 2 loggs in and sees what they have posted.....etc. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
View 1 RepliesThis is not a programming question per se, but rather an attempt to find the adequate technology to use for my objective. My mandate is to build an ASP.NET Web Application. However, on certain pages, some client-side information needs to be fetched by interacting with hardware on the client's computer, for example a barcode reader or an RFID tag reader. My first reflex was to think "ActiveX" controls with, perhaps, some AJAX coding to fetch the required values from said control. However, I am not sure if I am up to date with the latest tech trends. The solution I'm looking for will let me design a user control that plugs into my ASP.NET Web Application, lets me interact with client-side hardware, and can be automatically downloaded from the Web Application itself (I can't predict which computers will access my Web Application). Which technology(ies) should I go for?
View 2 RepliesWhen calling Response.Cookie.Add(new HttpCookie("MyCookie", "objValue")); where does the cookie saved? on Client Machine or Server Machine?
EDIT:if saved in Client Machine, how can I read it from javascript then? I tried this kind of script.

var i, x, y, ARRcookies = document.cookie.split(";");
for (i = 0; i < ARRcookies.length; i++) {

MSDN "ASP.NET Delegation" article tells:
1) "When you configure to use a particular account as the process identity, ASP.NET attempts to delegate that account. If it is a local account that is identical (including password) to a local account on a remote machine, delegation is possible. If such an account does not exist on the remote machine, to the network it appears as the Windows anonymous account (NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON). In addition, delegation is also possible if the account is a domain account that has access to the remote machine, in which case it uses the domain network identity of that account."
The same frequently repeated story as in case of manually/interactively accessing remote computer (server resource) in workgroup - it is necessary to create local account with the same username, the same password. But why?
If a workgroup Windows client process cannot access resources on server machine without having duplicate of such (local) account on target machine already pre-created,does it mean that client (process, machine, or user) can access server resources only by/after having logged (opening logon session) into server machine? Or, how to understand that such access is impossible without having corresponding duplicate local account on server machine?
The same MSDN "ASP.NET Delegation" article tells:
"NetworkService account. It behaves the same as the System account. This account possesses the network credentials associated with the machine account (domainnamemachinename) in the domain of which it is a member"
Does not any Windows have accounts ((NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE)? as well as many other common pre-built accounts? Why are they installed (before any joining to domain) but cannot be used for remote network access and client identification ? And what is identity used when the process from workgroup Windows under identity ((NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE) accesses a remote server?

We have an UpdatePanel that is showing a gridview with loads of data in it. We have loads of well written sprocs that don't take very long, BUT we have a few horrible ones that take ages.
We do intend to rewrite them but in the interim we have put the ADO.NET commandtimeout up to 180s. The scriptManager.AsyncPostBackTimeout is set to 240s. We want to handle this on the serverside. One of the reports still fails (it's got a couple of nested cursors in it - someone who hasn't had SQL lesson 101 from me!).
Half the time, the nice error timeout message is shown using server side handling of the command timeout. The problem is that the other half of the time the commandtimeout doesn't seem to fire.

View 1 RepliesGetting a file from the client to the server in asp.net mvcWhat is the best way to get a file from the client to the server in asp.net mvc?Will hosting allow you to save a file to their server these days or do you have to save the file on their server?

View 2 RepliesI want to send a file from MY LOCAL MACHINE (a pdf file) to a server running the web application. (to a pre-determined path on that server). Example .. the web application is a shopping cart. Customers can UPLOAD a pdf of their tax exempt status so it is on file at the servicing end. Will the VS control FileUpload accomplish this. I have seen where you can push a document from the SERVER to the client ... but not from the remote webuser client back to the servicing webserver application.
View 4 RepliesI have situation where I need to authenticate a client across multiple web services. Basically each service needs to identify the client and know a few other small pieces of information about the client.
The way I have it working now is that the needed identifying information is stored in a session table in a database by the authenticating web server. The web server hands the client an string, which IDs the database entry and gets passed to the other web services. The web services then use this string to pull the needed information about the client from the database entry.
It has occurred to me that it might be possible to give the client an encrypted blob that contains the user ID and other needed information, which is rather small, and avoid using the database for this completely. The client would just pass around the blob (like the string in the previous paragraph) without needing to know what it contains, and only the web services would know how to decrypt it.
This should eliminate the need for the database to store the session information and would make the whole process a good bit simpler. With the database you have to worry about cleaning up old sessions and timeouts and so on.
So my question: is passing around sensitive data from service to service via client considered safe and acceptable? Is it possible to do this in a way that would eliminate worry about the client tampering with the data? What encryption algorithms would be good to use?
