View 6 RepliesI'm using a file upload control to save the documnets ina file server and i'm storing the url for the docs in database.
In a grid i'm binding the url to a hyperlink field. But the link is not working. The document is not openeing. Is this the correct way to do?
If the file is stored in a local machine it is openeing but if i store it in some fileserver it is unable to open.
I have a web in ASP.NET+VB code and there is a folder named POLICY and there are pdf files in it. i want to display the list of files in a aspx file with hyperlink so that the files listed can be opened...
View 1 RepliesWe have a MS Access 2007 database that has a hyperlink column in one of the tables. I'm using Visual Studio 2008. I need to have the same column display in a gridview in ASP.net and have it function just like in access. In access, the user clicks the link and either the file or the wepage opens just fine. In the gridview in asp.net, if we click on the link it does "nothing". The links are to files on our network and to files on other people's websites and the paths are tested and work properly. The name of the column that holds the hyperlink is named MSDSLinke. Here is the code I am using:
<asp:TemplateField
HeaderText="MSDS"
SortExpression="MSDSLinke">

We are using a DataList with a couple fields inside the ItemTemplate. The one that is giving me trouble is the Hyperlink. The code is below. When the page loads the hyperlink renders like this:

I cannot see where the extra # signs are coming from. They don't appear to be in the field in the table.
I'm trying to access a hyperlink on my listview. When the user logs in, the hyperlink will show on my homepage. It doesn't show.

I have a form where a user enters their name, date etc.i also want them to be able to click on a browse button and select a file which will then appear in a textbox. when they press submit i want the file name and path to be put into the database. e.g."C:windowsworkwork.doc". Basically I don't want to UPLOAD the file
just enable the user to browse to it and send the filename and path to the database.

I have created a asp.net webpage for viewing daily downloaded newspaper, saved as a pdf file in a selected folder (~/NEWS/{0}) within the web root directory. Also i have a SQL datasource linked, where the news table has two columns viz: date and filename.
I want to create a tiled listview where the date text is visible on the hyperlink. on clicking the hyperlink, the file name is retreived for the corresponding date and the pdf file opens in a fresh page.
I have tried going to the item template in listview and replacing the label control with a hyperlink control, but then not able to successfully proceed ahead.

Brief Description: I want to be able to use my asp.net application to access files on another server used as a file system(storing .pdf, .xls, .doc files etc.). In Depth Description: Right now the web page has a gridview. The gridview has links to documents using paths like \servernamefilename. Our server guys said that this method would be using a CIFS protocol and would not work.
That we would need to set it up so that the application accesses the file through a service account or something. Does this make sense to anyone and can any provide a more in depth explanation. What would we have to change programatically to have our .net application access files on another server?
it should be in asp.net. but, it is urgent and important, wish someone here know the answer.
what I need do for an asp.net page is:
1) client select a file, or;
2) client select a folder;
Get file (or files in the folder)'s properties, something like name, ext, etc. and save to db.
it will be easy if it is a desktop app. however, in asp.net, how can I do that? do I have to upload all files to server first? is there a way to do this for all files in a folder? any third party control?
I have built an online CMS that is forms authenticated. The CMS allows administrators to upload files to the website. These files are stored outside of the Forms Authenticated section of the site so that they can be accessed from another site I have built. This other site is also forms authenticated, so users must log in and then they can access the files on the CMS site. site1.com: CMS for administrators only. Site stores all the files. site2.com: Access site.
My second website (The access site), is basically an empty shell that is filled with all of its content through the CMS using an SQL database and then displayed on the page. This works fine as only authenticated users have access to the interface used to view and download the files. My problem was, even though there is no public interface to find the files, someone could surely type [URL] and the video would be available to them. I dont really know what to do here, is there any way that people could be blocked from retrieving the files like this?
How can i prevent users from getting the list of files that exist in my website?
For example when users type on the address bar the WebsiteAddress+/DirectoryToSearch/ they get the list of files in that directory, without getting any permission denied error
Is there any setting in asp.net that am i missing?

In my project I have a website that has 2 sides, the client side and the management side. Everything is completed and works fine.
My idea was to place the management files in a separate folder (mysite.com/admin) the problem is that when I moved the files it could not compile because my admin pages inherit from a class in the app_ folder and looks like it cannot access it.
I wanted to compile the files in the app folder into a DLL but when I try, it gives me a error in the namespace System.Web.UI.Security and the WebControls ns...
How can I access my classes if my files reside in a subfolder within the same application. If I take the files out of the subfolder everything works fine
I need to restric access to my admin folder to certain people. Those with no authentication ticket should be redirectered to a "not allowed page". How do I identify all pages in my admin folder. I have so far but is it OK?
If url.Contains("/admin") Then
'If authentication ticket incorrect then
`Response.Redirect("~/notallowed_admin.aspx")`
End If
And not, I cannot use my web.config for this particular issue.
I want to be able to provide a list of files on an ASP.Net page which link to files on the users shared drives.
When the user clicks the link they can modify the file and then save it back to the shared drive.
An example would be:
<a href="file://M: estBook1.xls">M: estBook1.xls</a>
However this does not work, even from a trusted site.
I can understand the security implications but these can be managed.
I have two projects (Project A and Project B), these projects are hosted in different locations and on different servers. Project B want to access the files of Project A. which technique is required to fulfill my requirements.
View 1 RepliesThis is my current situation:
Im trying to execute a website that access to some files in my hardisk.Im into a network of a company with an ip. I have IIS 5.1.
This is the problem that im having:
When i try with localhost, there isnt any problem, but when i try with the ip of my network computer, i get "file not found", and the path is correct. asp.net uses different users to access resources depending if the url is localhost or ip of the network?
Here is my dilema, on my site i have a WordPress Audio player (http://wpaudioplayer.com/standalone) that plays my mp3's.
It loads the Mp3's in by javascript...example below:
AudioPlayer.embed("audioplayer_7", { soundFile: "/Files/Music/[name of file].mp3" });
This file name is clearly visible in the browser source. Not a problem, however this means that any user can legitimately browse to the file directly and download it.
Now i still need the mp3 player (which is flash) to have access to the file but if a user was to try accessing the file directly, they would not be allowed access to it.
I am not sure how to go about this, i am circling the idea of a httphandler but not sure if this is sufficiant to stop the direct access to the file.
I am building a web-application that uses xml files to send them to Web-Services , and the application will be used by alot of users i have the files in my directory , and before continueing development I was thinking about when several users will use the same xml file at the same time knowing that , the users will have to ( read , write ) on these files , so if one user is writing on the file and another one will read from it we will have a bit confilict here .
I thought of copying the whole xml file TEXT and placing it as a string in the application but if i have to use like 10 xml files this will be a big performance issue i guess.
