Architecture :: Rendering ASPX Files Into A String?
Nov 19, 2010
I am building a command line application and I need to transform data within my application's classes to text.
It would make my life easy if I could use ASPX files to render my data into the target text format.
To achieve that, I need to be able to render an aspx file outside IIS. The following article explains how:

The article is developed in 2003.
Is there any better way to so achieve similar result in .NET 4.0? Does MVC make this easier? Is this very memory/performance intensive? I have to create a new ApplicationHost anytime my command line application is executed. Is this approach reliable enough to be used in an environment with high throughput?

I have an ASPX page that I intend to use as a template to generate some HTML. I have defined my markup and data bound controls and built a function to do all the data binding, call this.Render and return the HTML. The function works just fine when called from Page_Load.
My intent was to bypass page request and directly call the method and get the page HTML, but when I call the function without making a HTTP Request, none of my server side controls are initialized.
Is there any way I can call a method on a page, pass some params and get the HTML output without making a HTTP Request. I believe Server.Execute could do it but i cant find a way to pass params in it.
I am calling the function like this
MyPage ThreadHTMLGenerator = new MyPage;
string threadHTML= ThreadHTMLGenerator.GenerateExpandedHTML(param1, param2, param3);

I'm trying to render a partial view as a string so it can be returned as HTML to a jquery ajax call. After a lot of searching I found this code.
public string RenderAsString(string viewName, string modelName, object model)
{
// Set up your spark engine goodness.
var settings = new SparkSettings().SetPageBaseType(typeof(SparkView));
var templates = new FileSystemViewFolder(Server.MapPath("~/Views"));
var engine = new SparkViewEngine(settings) { ViewFolder = templates };.......

I've inherited a bunch of code that has server script inside of .htm files.
On IIS, a handler mapping pumps.Htm pages though the asp.net engine.
Unfortunately, visual studio doesn't notice that they should be treated as code.
Is there any way to make VS treat .Htm files as code/aspx files?

I upgraded my site from asp to asp.net.This means that all of my previous asp files became obsolete.I don't want to lose my Google Ranking of the old pages.
What is the proper way to redirect?I tried to catch all of the old asp pages is my 404 and then to:
if Request.QueryString("aspxerrorpath").contains("index.asp") = true then
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader("Location", "http://www.domain.com/index.aspx")
Response.Redirect("/index.aspx")
end if
but it doesn't catch asp pages, only aspx.

I have a designer working on several pages in Dreamweaver. The designer is creating .aspx files with the Page directive at the top. These are getting shipped to me and I'm adding them to the Visual Studio ASP.NET WebForms Web Application Project. The problem is that there's no code-behind file by default, and I'm trying to find a shortcut to have them autogenerated as if I've added a fresh page from Visual Studio.

I've just updated my MVC2 project to run MVC3 (RC). Everything is working as expected except for one problem.
I'm running DotNetOpenAuth, but when I go to authenticate, my page renders the string
DotNetOpenAuth.Messaging.OutgoingWebResponseActionResult
instead of authenticating (which worked in the MVC2 app)
I found this question elsewhere on SO, and I did what was suggested, but to no avail.
Here is a clip of my Web.Config
</configSections>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>

Here's what I want to do, however I'm not sure of the best place for Excel. Excel files are sent via e-mail from various sources, from each source, they are sent in different versions of Excel and different information layouts, though from each source they are consistent.
Overview.
I want to give the user a front end to enable them to place the excel files into a drop zone and specify which files have come from which source. I then want to pass the file names and source origin to a workflow service. Based on this info the workflow service will then take 1..n workflow routes based on the source with the ultimate aim that data will be placed into an SQLServer 2005 DB or if the Excel lines cannot be processed, then output for the user to see with a reason. Because this is quite a complex task, I'm taking each source in turn.
Initial Problem.
My first set of Excel files come in 4 seperate files. I need to first merge the data in the Excel sheets to make 1 File for Processing. Some of the rows in the spreadsheets can be merged into a single line under certain conditions which will make the business logic much easier further on. So, first off After the user has dropped the Excel files into the drop zone I need to open the spreadsheets and merge them. I then need to feed each line to a 'rules' engine to determine the data and business logic that needs to be processed before updating the DB. So I thought I'd use a Workflow service for this since there will be no reason not to work on multiple sources at the same time as I progress through the development of the program. The problem I have is that unless I download the CP1 for workflow I cannot use this directly (so it appears) for working with Excel. So I was looking at using possibly WCF as the 'feed' to the workflow service, but can I use WCF to do the possible long running process of merging the Excel spreadsheets before pasing a row at a time down to the workflow service?

We are storing the WAV file into a database table as VARBINARY(MAX). We want to play the WAV file directly in a web page. We want to use PLAY, PAUSE and STOP for these WAV files.
We want the user to have a Control on the page to play the WAV file.
Here we DO NOT want to store the FILE in the Web Server's file structure. It is againt the SECURITY policy.
We tried different ways. Nothing is working. We used SoundPlayer class. Using this, we can only PLAY and STOP but can not PAUSE the WAV file.

We need to download multiple files from remote servers. It is a process that would take few hours to complete, since we are talking about images ~50kb each and more than 250.000 in total. Each images will downloaded, resized and then imported to SQL.DB, so we do not need to write files to the disk. Also the applications need to use network credentials, since it is behind ISA.
From your experience, what is the best method to implement this? Should we use WebClient or HttpSockets? Should we use Async methods or Threads ? How can we implement for example 5 simultaneously download to achieve better speed, since we may getting files from many different servers at once?

I would like to provide my client with a aspx pages, with code behind provided, etc. But in some cases they will want to write their own markup - I'm thinking of having 2 directories [siblings of each other], one for the pages I provide, and the other for their custom markup. At page serve time, check to see if the client wrote their own markup and if so use it. Otherwise use the default provided.
In a nutshell I would like for my clients to be able to modify the pages I provide, but if they blow it up have a very easy way to back it out. Or to put it in a more positive light, allow them to override my pages easily.

I have an application that uses DataContracts/DataMembers and Serialization to store information entered in a tab control. There are 8 tabs in the control (therefore 8 aspx pages). The final tab is used to write the information to disk.I am trying to understand: When should serialization be used in a web app? The objects are stored in memory not on disk. Is this another means of passing objects between aspx pages? If so when should serialization be used vs. session objects? How long is the serialized object retained in memory?Can I get a simple example of how to serialize in one page and deserialize the object in another page?I've read many blogs regarding serialization but have yet to find a simple example and none of them explain when serialization should be used vs. session objects?
