I got a bot and screen scrapper problem. I have successfully redirected them somewhere else, but they still show up in my stats. I run my redirection code in the pre init section of the master page. I use discountasp for my hosting provider. Is there a way to run my code before the preinit page section?
View 8 Replieswe have a situation where we log visits and visitors on page hits and bots are clogging up our database. We can't use captcha or other techniques like that because this is before we even ask for human input, basically we are logging page hits and we would like to only log page hits by humans.
Is there a list of known bot IP out there? Does checking known bot user-agents work?
I have learned recently that I can stop Google bots looking at some pages via the robots.txt file.Great got that sorted out.However how can I stop the crawler or bot from scanning some text on my page. But reading other parts just fine.For example I have a large legal disclaimer on each page,and I have seen that via google web master tools that my keywords are all out of the disclaimer.Cant have that!
Can I turn off a control or label to crawlers eyes?? Any ideas..I cant move disclaimer to a single page as then it looses effect.
UDPATE: <!--googleoff: all-->Come to the fair!<!--googleon: all-->

I think that is it Watson..I ASSUME I can place these google on and off tages around a label or hidden field that has TEXT in it.
I have question regarding printer option page which pop up when i click on print button on crystalreportviewer and when i click okay on that pop up page it displays print preview of the report.
Is there any way to skip that pop up window(Printer Option) and just display (PDF)print preview screen instead?
(I am not exporting report to pdf, just want to display printview screen and when the user click on print button it will print out the page)
I have tried following code but i am getting error:

I have upgraded web application from VS.2008 to vs 2010. I was using previously ReportViewer 2008 control in a page and replaced with 2010 ReportViewer Control.
I have installed the ReportViewer Redistributable also in my local pc as well as in the server. Also as per the new requirement I have placed the Scriptmanager in the web page where the reportviewer control located.
While running the page, the reportviewer run the report and is not showing the data on the screen. It shows the blank screen. But If I export the data to execl or world it is showing the data. Also the page numbers in the reportviewer showing the total pages available in the navigation bar. I am sure the report is running and bringing the data to the screen but not showing it.
The below is the exact scenario, One form will be there and when user click on "Edit" hyper link other window will open to get more details. In that new window also I have a grid or a table which has other hyperlink which lead to open other window and in that window I will enter few details and save it....

I have a block of XML in a database which is easy enough to pull out using ASP.NET MVC, however I would like to access and modify the XML in an way more consistent with class instances. Is there a way to get the MVC (or any other model) to generate a data access (or perhaps Entity) class set from the DB-stored XML?If the above is rather obtuse, the question could be summarised as; What method would you use to best access and modify XML stored in a database from an ASP.NET MVC application?
View 1 RepliesIm currently starting on a project where im using NHibernate for dealing with the DB interactions, and MVC2 (RC) for the front end... and im just wondering if there are any decent tutorials on how to minimize the amount of duplicated validation that needs to be entered to validate thigns in NHibernate and try to mirror those constraints client side.. Ive looked at xVal which looks great, but i cant seem to get it to work and there dont seem to be that many articles about it. Also alot of people are mentioning that its going to become redundant at the MVC level in MVC2 due to the data annotation validation. So im really just after some more information/advice and links on the subject really...
View 2 Replies I have the following scheme: a View (comming from an action method) called EventSearch that contains a DropDownList of PowerPlants, a ListBox with GeneratingUnits, a DropDownList and two TextFields to set the timespan (you can choose a predefined timespan in the DropDownList or set your own in the TextFields). The model for this page is a DataQuery (an object to be tested against the Database to search the matching values). Clicking in a button in this View will cause a POST.
Then, in another View, called EventList, with the Model being List, I render the above Action, so the user can trigger a search in the same page he visualizes the results.Usually, the number of itens in the list to be displayed in EventList is massive, so I wanted to give paging a try:
[Code]....
when I try sorting or even change page, the results don't get displayed. Here is my ActionMethods for EventList:
[Code]....
I don't know if it doesn't work by the way I created the pages (using this DataQuery object) and if there is another way out of this problem.
I have created my first MVC application. I am using forms authenticataion. I have created a custom action filter MyAppAuthorizationFilter which inherits from AuthorizeFilter. Inside this filter I'm authenticating the user credentials by checking them against a database table (by overriding OnAuthorize method). If the user is not authenticated, I am redirecting the users to a login page (which is view of LoginController). I am using this filter agaginst my main controller so that all actions in this filter will execute only if the user is authenticated.
I do not have any problem when I use the asp.net development server (shipped with Visual Studio). But when I deploy the app to our IIS7 server, I can see the login screen when I access the default url, but after entering the credentials (both correct and incorrect) and posting back the Login page, it stays on the Login page (clears the pwd, but not the username). Its never getting redirected to the home screen or invalid login screen.
IIS 7 server has .net framework 3.5SP1, but no MVC. So I deployed the System.Web.Mvc dll in the bin folder.
Here's my Code (I've omitted the views and models as they are not needed here):
[MyAppAuthorizationFilter]
public class MainController : Controller
{
//
// GET: / [code]......
I am using the below code where I put this tag on a .aspx page:
"<a name="tips"></a>"
Now if I from another page run the code in the hyperlink to navigate to this page2 where I have the above tag. The page will scroll down to this tag automatically where this tag will be at the TOP of the screen.
My question now is if it is instead possible to scroll to the position where you have this tag at the BOTTOM of the screen instead ?

Is it possible to take a screen capture of a particular area of a web-page from the web-page's own ASP.NET code?
I need to display 6 images that are stacked on top of one another using CSS, and I'd like to offer the user the ability to right-click save-as if possible by stacking the screen capture on top top of the original image stack.

.net has all these build in GUI elements. The purpose is that we build a .net web application and for the coding itselve I'm very familiar with jQuery in PHP but I noticed that in .Net everybody starts using it too.Is jQuery the best way these days to deal with this in .NET (c#)? or are there others you might recommend?
View 5 RepliesI'm using the standard asp:Login control, and we have a user who recently changed her password to include an angular bracket. When she tries to login, she gets an error message, and I get the standard 'dangerous request' exception.
I know I can set ValidateRequest="false" on the page to negate this, but I was hoping someone knew of a better way.
In my new ASP.NET EF4 project, I find myself having to do a lot of maneuvering around null entities. For example, I may have a Project Entity with a related User Entity exposed through an Assignee property. Suppose I need to send an email to someone indicating who the Assignee is, I need to say:string x = "The Assignee is: " + TheProject.Assignee.Name;but I'll get an exception if there is no Assignee as the property is null (I want nulls by design) and I can't fetch the .Name property on that null.
View 4 RepliesWe are using cutesoft AJAX uploader. The uplodaer is implemented using HTTP Modules. Everything works well. The problem is that if the user clicks the upload button after being idle for long (means after session time out) the control throws and error.
I just want to know the work around to bypass this issue.
Note:- We are just using one web.config and two master pages (one for login and error pages and one for all other pages which are accessed after authentication). We have written the code to check the session timeout in oninit of the master page which is used by all the pages except (Login and Error pages).
I am planning to convert desktop application which has to deal with lots of client resources like printer, Id scanner(driver license,passport & business card etc.), webcam etc.Now accessing client resources like files, scanners and webcam everything has to be done through client side scripting which is really pain. Due to nature of this product, I have to create image on client PC and extract information from it. (This is also pain in Vista and Windows 7 due to security permissions and all that stuff).
My ideal design would be making managed dll which takes care of dealing with images, printers, webcam (I have to apply pan, tilt and zoom), id-scanners. This is kind of component. And GUI would be web based Asp.net which simply calls the functions of managed dll. If the end-user is opening application on new computer, then it will ask just like flash or silverlight that you have to install component locally for the first time.Points which I worry: 1. If it logically correct or sounds stupid? 2. How to install managed dll at end-user's PC (C:/program files) and use it from asp.net code behind page.
My application is intranet application.so avoid stupid assumptions about privacy and ohhooo you want to access files from my PC and all those stuff. (end-user would never mind in giving credit card to restaurnt waiter who could do anything with it behind counter but allowing web application to access file which is created by application is privacy issue)
I'm building an asp.net mvc app, I want to build up an hierarchical structure, is IHierarchicalEnumerable and IHierarchyData the best way to implement a hierarchical structure?
View 1 RepliesI used SQLMetal to generate a DBML file, which worked fine. The problem is that since this DBML file is so big (185,000 lines at 840Kb) it takes literally hours to load in VS2008. What is the recommended way to resolve this? I tried using a third party tool call SqlMetalInclude to break the DBML up into multiple data contexts, but that tool generates only designer.cs files, not dbml files.

View 10 RepliesI am not really sure if this post should go in the Security section or the Active Directory / LDAP section....with that being said I am looking for advice on how to best accomplish my goal(s), I am working with FORMS authentication, using active directory (across 2 domains). I have got authenticating working correctly based upon the article at: [URL] now - my questions:
1. What is the best way to deal with roles? What I would like to do is restrict access to my application so that only the users that are authorized to use the application can login - not everyone in the AD. My gut feeling tells me I would use an AD group for this. Furthermore, a subset of these users in this group will be allowed to access the data maintenance forms
2. Ideally, in a perfect world, I would like to write this authentication piece as a separate project - this way it could be used for multiple projects - the only thing different would be the AD groups it would be checking. Is there a way that I could set which AD groups or roles in each projects web.config?
Am I approaching this the correct way? What is typically done?
I have an ASP.NET project. Naturally, through different releases and development branches, the db schema changes.
What are some ways to cleanly handle the schema changes in a friendly way so that I can easily switch between development branches?
I use SQL Server 2005, but general techniques probably work.
I am executing a stored procedure that takes about 75 seconds to execute. My page times out while it tries to wait for the resultset. I tried adding Connect Timeout=200; pooling='true'; Max Pool Size=200" but it still times out.
I guess I do not necessarily need to wait for the result set. Is it possible to just send the SQL command with something like (making it up:) command.ExecuteOnServerAndDoNotWait?

It seems liken no matter what logic I put in my code, this runs every single time, and because of this, unless I am viewing this particular content page, I get an error.
