View 3 RepliesI have an application that uses resource files to display items in multiple languages. My app uses quote a lot of javascript and the alerts need to display in the local language. To do this, I have created an http handler which will read the keys and values of the culture-specific resource file and write them to a JSON array which is then embedded in the page in a script tag, the messages can then be accesses using, for exmaple:
Message.Error (en-GB = "Error", fr-FR = "Erreur")
The messages http handler works great in development, however when I run the application on a test server, I get the error: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Resources.Alerts.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.b0n9j90e" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed. The code that I use to acccess the resource file is:
ResourceManager manager = Resources.Alerts.ResourceManager;
ResourceSet resourceSet= Resources.Alerts.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture, true, true);
Where Resources.Alerts is the type that contains my multi-lingual definitions. The build action for the Alerts.resx file is set to "Embedded Resource". Any ideas why this works locally but not on my test server, am I missing something?
The majority of files in the Temporary ASP.NET File folder for a given application get deleted by ASP.NET following compilation -- .DLL and .PDB files amongst others remain.
Our compiler produces proprietary debug information files which are amongst those that get deleted.
Marking the files read-only prevents this but are there other options available?

View 10 RepliesI have hosted a website in Client's Server.
One of the functionality of the site is to create a PDF File on a Specific Shared Path.
The Shared path is mentioned in the Web.Config File.
If the given shared path exists in the same machine then the PDF File is created and stored in the shared path.
If the Shared path exists in the other shared network System then the PDF is not created and not stored in the shared path.
I'd like to add build configuration dependant web config files to my empty ASP.NET 4 Web site project. How can I do that? According to this blog entry, VS 2010 is supposed to provide a context menu entry on the original web.config file, Add Config Transform, allowing to add build configuration dependant web.config files to the project. But this context menu entry doesn't exist. What did I do wrong?
Steps to reproduce:
Create an empty ASP.NET 4 Web site project on localhost (IIS)
Anyone able and willing to post a part of the CSS files they use for production websites? Curious what types of selectors people use and how they configure the CSS rules to connect to the html elements. I know how this all works in practice - I'm curious how professional coders actually organize their CSS rules. I'm starting a new web app and don't want to be constrained by the setups I've seen and used up to this point.
View 16 RepliesIn my web site which is basically a monitor application I have to keep a configuration file which contains some web servers name, names of web sites hosted on each web server, url and port numbers etc.
Can anyone please explain me what are the benefits of treating this configuration file as custom configuration file of my web application and reading it using "ConfigurationSection" or "IConfigurationSectionHandler" rather than treating it as a normal xml file and reading it using 'XMLDocument' or 'XMLTextReader' or 'XLINQ' etc? This will save me from creating an entry in in the web.config file as well this custom configuration file.
edit I do not want to redirect pages, specific files etc. I would like to change the path where images, videos and other media are stored from the root source directory to the directory of my choosing. In this case c:/dev/prjfiles/prjname/public (c:/dev/prjfiles/prjname/ is my working directory) and i except when my html does img src="/pic.png" it will find the image in c:/dev/prjfiles/prjname/publi/pic.png. I need a working solution, i tried looking at how to set virtual directories and etc. I cant figure it out.

Setup
Server 2003 32bit, IIS 6
ASP.NET wild card mapping
A virtual directory mapped to an UNC share serving static images for a CMS in a load balancing environment
My question if it's possible to turn off asp.net from virtual and only serve static files e.g. images in the virtual directory, to avoid the problem with too many open connections?
If it's not possible I'll guess I have to implement a solution like [URL] to server the files from a local disc.
I found a possible solution at [URL] that removes the wild card mapping and makes it possible to turn of execution of asp.net files.
I am using VS2010. When I am building a release for a WinForms Applicaiton, I can see some .xml files relevant to project in the bin elease folder. The .dll (third party component) has been referenced in the References folder of the project for eg. Rebex.Net.Ftp and in the properties window the Source Path is
C:Program FilesRebexFile Transfer Pack for .NET 4.0FTP SSL for .NET 4.0inRebex.Net.Ftp.dll In the above mentioned source path directory there is an Rebex.Net.Ftp.xml which gets pulled across to the release folder as well. I couldn't really get my head around where this can be referenced so that it puts this .xml file in the release folder of the project when I do a build?
My main problem is, when I created a setup project for this application, I can't get this file included in the installation pack (after installing the .msi file). I get the Rebex.Net.Ftp.dll but not Rebex.Net.Ftp.xml file. I tried all the options in the Project Output except including the "Source files" which I dont want to. how to include the .xml files in the setup installation pack, ie., if there are properties I am forgetting to set or something like that?
How can i change this code to incorporate my earlier code for listing directories and files that i want to show? And how can this code be updated so when you click on the file, it opens.
Here is the code i currently have, which works and displays the folders and files, but clicking on them doesnt open anything.

View 3 RepliesWe are using HttpPostedFileBase to upload files to our asp.net mvc application. Is there some smart way of analyzing the contents of the file to determine the actual mime type by looking at the actual binary stream?
I want to make sure no .exe files or similar stuff are uploaded, just want to accept a number of files.
Something like a preflight on the file that is uploaded to extract information programmatically and determine the file type.

View 3 RepliesI created an application as part of an ASP.NET site. I would like to receive error notifications in my inbox whenever something goes wrong with that flash application.
As I do not have control over our mail server (which has a different domain name), I cannot establish a cross domain policy allowing me to send error emails to my inbox.
Instead, thought I'd send a request to an ASP.NET handler that sends an email on behalf of the flash app.
Now the problem: the error report should include a screenshot of the flash application at the time the error occurred. The FileReference class however only allows file uploads with user interaction (browse dialog) and cannot be used programmatically to send the screenshot to my ASP.NET handler. The plain old POST back only allows files up to ~200K.
Am I missing something or is there no alternative to :
using POST w/ a compressed or resized screenshot or forcing the user to first save a screenshot and then select it for upload?
I've to download files from our 38 clients secure websites. They are our data resources. Currently data collection process is manual. Logon to the site, login with username and password, then download files, save to local folder, close window once download is completed. We are trying to automate download process. Plan is to handle login part with code and directly show list of filename to User with check box , so User can select files and click to save.
Rest all will be handled programtically. Once download is complete the status for that file will change to "Saved" or "Download Complete. I'm working on Window 7, VS2008(C# asp.net). Trying to make it work with WebClient class. It'll be great if you can post some source code or guide me to link or post for solution.

View 2 RepliesBy external config files, I mean .config files other than web.config. I've seen all the examples on how to edit web.config at runtime, but I want to edit a config file referenced by a configSource for appSettings. I want to modify only the external file and I will handle the app recycle.
I would like to use a built-in class to deal with the edits, but if the only option is a manual File open/parse, etc, then sobeit.
The general behind all this being a Settings page that is viewed at app startup, user sets their particulars and then saves the changes, then the real app starts up. quick and easy install app/configure page, so I'd like to leverage .config if at all possible.

I would like to know which CODE, Classes could be useful for creating a WEB APPLICATION that could:
01 - Connect to an HTML file on the web.
02 - Parse its content (text content).
03 - Find out specific content in a page (for example looking for specific keywords).
Also how to implement:
04 - How to submit information programmatically in HTML page (feeling forms).
I am interested in understanding Classes and general practice and CODE for accomplish this task.
