View 3 RepliesTo my understanding the clinet side can only send data to the server either by get or post. so basically either through query string (get) or through body of the page (post).
So when we upload a file from client machine and send it to server, what exactly is happening behind the scenes? are we doing a post?
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.

The dilaogbox that offers me to save the file shows incorrect chars if documentFileName has name not in ASCII format. What I'm supposed to do to have the file name displayed correctly in this dialogbox and to have this file opened under the same name in MS Word, Excel whatever else?
I need to save a text file on the client side possibly without permission. The case is that I need to save this text file in a shared folder in this or in another machine in the lan. This text file is going to be read automatically by the fiscal printer which will print the fiscal invoice. I have a asp .net web application and the server is not on the same lan with the fiscal printer, so I have to write it on the client-side. how to do this without asking to the user every time for the security issue.
I can accept a solution like, the client is asked only one time a the first printing, but not every time he wants to print a bill. Some kind of asking permission to the client for allowing this website, in order to not repeat the permission asking.

In ASP.Net, I want to give a user an ability to save the text entered in the textbox to the client machine. So that, user can copy paste it for later use.
Is there a way to show, save as dialog so that user can save the text in a text file on client machine? or, if there is any other alternative?
My requirement is to get the file size in client side. there is no problem in FF but in IE you can't do that unless u r using an activeX object. So we thought of putting it in browser cache and reading the file size from there and when we post it to the server we will be taking it from the cache and send it to the server.

View 4 RepliesI have a page setup that displays a datagrid connected to a access database file. I setup a timer to compare the last write time of the access db file and current time (with in 4 seconds). Once the times are with in 4 seconds of each other it requests a refresh of the data. The webpage is displayed on 4 thin client PC's with 0 user involvement so the WebPages need to update themselves. Due to the fact I'm limited to Access I'm trying to limit the # of times a day they are accessed by the auto-update.
The problem I'm having is when the timer ticks it POSTs to the web server. I have 3 WebPages setup watching 3 DB's for different location where I work but they all run of an IIS server in my office. So this creates a lot of unneeded traffic and log files. (Currently 5-6megs per day)
I was wondering there is a better way to compare the files on the clients machine and only post back for an update when they are with in 4 seconds of each other.
The site is built with MS visual web dev 2010 express written in Aspx and code lang is VB. I'm using system.io.file.getlastwritetime to get the file information for comparing.

I have a requirement of adding server side variables in client side and other way round. Because I need to set a value from client side using javascript and access the same in code behind page.
I have to use C#.Net and JavaScript.
Suppose I'm building a StackOverflow clone using webforms ASP.NET and jQuery. The Question page has a question, several answers, and comments under each. Requirements:Users can post new answers and comments, and edit existing ones, without postbacks. No UpdatePanels; the AJAX calls retrieve just the JSON they need, not HTML fragments. The page loads with all existing answers and comments in place (no javascript needs to run to read the page).
What I'm trying to figure out is how to do this without having to maintain two sets of markup (one that's bound on the client using some form of jQuery templating, and one that's bound on the server using traditional WebForms).
I reordered some items in a listbox using Javascript. When I read the items in a postback in the code behind (ASP.NET), the order is in the original order. How do I get the same order as shown in the screen after Javascript manipulation?
