.net - Personalized URLs In .Net Information Request?
Jan 10, 2011
I've done a lot of searching trying to figure this out: I am soon to develop an app using Personalized URLs in ASP .Net. Thankfully we are going to use the mysite.com/user1, mysite.com/user2 approach, as I can find plenty of info on making that happen using URL rewrites. However, in the post @ http://forums.asp.net/p/1259856/2842613.aspx#2842613 there is someone asking if there is a way to do something along the lines of user1.mysite.com, but dynamically. In the post there are answers that it can be done, but they are not very clear. I presented this my supervisor who then asked how does this work with DNS and I shrugged my shoulders and did the Scooby-Doo "I don't know" sound (rye-ron't-row)...
I am working on a website in which many users can create their account and have a personalized page. I wish to provide them a twitter like url to access their pages, for example www.mysite.com/smith or www.mysite.com/john . I am using asp.net mvc 1.0. I have an understand that i can add routes to the global.asax file, but i am not able to figure out how to add a route that will work for such urls.
i have a function that pulls URLs from various web resources. needless to say some are full valid URLS and some are relative as per the HTML of the page. below is my asp.net/ c# logic i derived for examining the URL and then generate a full usable URL from whats pulled from the site...
NOTE: origianlurl is the full url of the first searched page, and relativeUrl is a url found within the searched page (it can be a full www.site.com or a /contactus.html) private string ResolveRelativePaths(string relativeUrl, string originatingUrl) { if (relativeUrl.StartsWith("http") || relativeUrl.StartsWith("www")) return relativeUrl; if (relativeUrl.StartsWith("/")) { //get main url something.com [code]...
For example, I have three UpdatePanels on the page. I click a button, and I get pretty long response, that contains all the data for the three UpdatePanels, the viewstate string.
I want to optimize my query and receive response like "ok" or "not ok". How can I do that?
I've been able to create a cool little website, it's up and running with users logging in and out, I created roles so my administrative team can see sensitive data that's not available to regular and anonymous users.
Now they would like me to create a page specific to each user. For instance when user A logs in they are redirected to a page that has information that pertains to user A only (like a list of their benefits/ their remaining vacation time). This page needs to be accessible only to user A.
I have a website with a home page using web parts and can be personalized. One thing that we need is to track the usage of each web parts i.e. How many users are using each web parts.
When I go to check in the database, there the whole Personalized page is saved as a Binary Data. The info regarding each webparts is not saved.
I am making an online form (literal form) that needs to have a certain function: when the user enters a 5-digit number, the form should automatically query the MS SQL DB and retrieve information associated to that number and populate other form elements (text boxes, etc.) accordingly.
So say the # was 12345 and in the DB, the record matching 12345 has name=Fred. So, when I enter 12345 into the form textbox, the name text box should be automatically populated with Fred in it.
If this is not easily achievable, I guess a submit button beside the 5-digit number text box can do.
I am still learning my way around ASP.NET and Visual Studio 2005, however I have ample experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C/C++. The ASP.NET app is to be written in C#.
I have a webservice which works 100% fine on my developer machine. Where Web Service is installed on LOCALHOST on my developer machine,Then i went to my servers, I installed webservice on one server and map it with the server where the website is hosted, Then i tried accessing this service using BROWSER from my web server, it worked fine, That means the mapping was done perfect.Then i run my program on web server (website). It worked fine on page1, then on page2, but when i did the same and call same function on page3, It popped me any error of
Is it at all possible to inject a request into IIS for a page, have IIS and ASP.Net handle it as normal, but get the response as html handed back to me programmatically?
Yes, I know that I could connect to port 80 using WebRequest and WebResponse, but that becomes difficult if you are accessing the IIS server from the same physical machine (loopback security controls et al).
Basically, I want to inject the request (eg for [URL]) between the points at which IIS would normally talk to the browser, and the point at which it would route it to the correct ASP.Net application, and get a response back from IIS between the points at which ASP.Net/IIS applies the httpfilters and hands the html back to the browser.
I'm predominantly working with IIS7 so if there is a solution that works just for IIS7 then thats not an issue.
when i browse the page with firefox and click on the input Request.Params["btnshoppingCart"] != null or Request.Form["btnshoppingCart"] != null is statisfied.
When i browse the same page with internet explorer 8 and click on the same input Request.Params["btnshoppingCart"] != null or Request.Form["btnshoppingCart"] != null is not satisfied. When i used the watch i saw that there is no key by the name of "btnshoppingCart" in either Request.Form or Request.Params if input is clicked from internet explorer. However when it is clicked from firefox there is value "shoppingCart" inside Request.Form and Request.Params against "btnshoppingCart" key. One more strange thing that i observed was that are two keys "btnshoppingCart.x" and "btnshoppingCart.y" inside both Request.Form and Request.Params whenver clicking is done from both internet explorer and firefox. This is happening against all inputs of type image irrespective if the input is present inside a html form or not. Forms are created like this
<% using (Html.BeginForm("Action", "Controller", FormMethod.Post)){%>
The version of internet explorer is 8.0 and firefox is 3.6.6
I there a way to know if a request is a soap request on AuthenticateRequest event for HttpApplication? Checking ServerVariables["HTTP_SOAPACTION"] seems to not be working all the time.
public void Init(HttpApplication context) { context.AuthenticateRequest += new EventHandler(AuthenticateRequest); } protected void AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { app = sender as HttpApplication; if (app.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_SOAPACTION"] != null) { // a few requests do not enter here, but my webservice class still executing // ... } } I have disabled HTTP POST and HTTP GET for webservices in my web.config file. <webServices> <protocols> <remove name="HttpGet" /> <remove name="HttpPost" /> <add name="AnyHttpSoap" /> </protocols> </webServices> Looking at ContentType for soap+xml only partially solves my problem. For example, Cache-Control: no-cache Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 1131 Content-Type: text/xml Accept: */* Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept-Language: ro Host: localhost mymethod: urn:[URL]
Some clients instead of having the standard header SOAPAction: [URL], have someting like in example above. "mymethod" represents the method in my web service class with [WebMethod] attribute on it and [URL] is the namespace of the webservice. Still the service works perfectly normal. The consumers use different frameworks (NuSOAP from PHP, .NET, Java, etc).
I develop an asmx web service (i.e. ASP.NET 2.0). There's a piece of code that may read the contents of the HTTP request (via HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream) while processing it. I realise that InputStream may only be read once for a request, and I make sure I never try to read it more than once.
The problem seems to be that if InputStream happens to be read during the early stages of the application's lifecycle (e.g. after pskill w3wp, during Application_Start), the HTTP request fails with a HTTP 400 - Bad Request error, with no explanation given, no exception thrown and no entry in the httperr log. If it is read later (e.g. within the web method itself), requests run fine whether InputStream is read or not. Application_Start runs fine if InputStream isn't read.
Is this some sort of ASP.NET bug? IIS bug? Or am I doing something wrong by daring to read InputStream? And if so, is there another way to get a look at the "raw" contents of the request without disturbing the inner workings of IIS/ASP.NET? In short, adding this code within Application_Start is enough to reproduce this error: using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream))reader.ReadToEnd();
I am trying to use curl to access 3rd party webservice, I used the following code which works well if I try it on my own linux server, the data is being sent ok, but the IIS on the 3rd party server returns an error.
$longdata is a long string of data, maybe over 1000 characters long the 3rd party has many working clients with various implementations so the problem is on my side. what do I need to add to the request in order to get this through ?
Even to achieve the first link above, I need to replace capital letters and non-standard characters like é with e, and replace spaces with hyphens. Is all of this possible using URL Rewrite Module 2.0 or might I be better off coding some ASP? I'm new to .net and may have to do something in classic if I struggle. And I only just get by in ASP...
I've tried some of the tutorials on the official IIS website and have got through a simple rewrite wizard, but replacing characters seems more complicated, and I'm sure some of the tutorials have errors in them...
I have a application which uses intelligencia urlrewriter to rewrite urls into seo friendly urls. Blog engine is integrated in this application under subfolder but shares webconfig with my application. Application runs perfectly on development server, but when i publish it to 2008/IIS7 server urls links don't work. Links similar to following work
Anything which has query parameters in aspx url fails. I'm not sure what is causing this error on 2008/IIS 7 server and not on my VS 2008 development server.
I am using asp.net and when I type a bad url manually(in the browser) it gives me: The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. I want a bad url that doesn't exist to be re-directed to the home page. How do I do this?
I am using the NerdDinner project to experiment with MVC. http://nerddinnerbook.s3.amazonaws.com/Intro.htmI have put an image map on the front page and cannot work out how to generate the urls for it.
if I choose without dash, when I try to access [URL] it will return a 301 to the link without dash: [URL] The question is, how can I do that with ASP.NET MVC?
I know the default routes in MVC include an id param which often maps to the identity of an entity as it's stored in the database. Now, often this is OK, but what about when you don't want someone to be able to manipulate it? Quite frankly, on many business apps this is very common. For example, you don't want someone to change the account number (not the best example, but you get the idea) in the URL for obvious reasons. So, you would need to validate the account number against the logged in user on every request. Obviously, that is not a realistic solution, and in webforms many people would store something like that in session. I am trying to rely on session very little in MVC, but aside from that would I just go old school and use hidden fields
