I need to design a site map page of my website in asp.net. I am confuse whether to use custom site map and retrieve information from database or direct retrieve information from database and bind it to hyperlink?
View 1 RepliesCurrently whenever a client wants a website I provide my own CMS however I have been wondering whether a 3rd party CMS may be easier.At the moment I have built it in ASP.Net & ASP.Net MVC (I'm thinking of moving to Ruby on Rails). A master page has 5 pagecontent areas, top, left, middle, right & footer.I then create usercontrols such as Image_Top, Image_Left etc. In the CMS the user can create a page and then choose how they want that page to look by choosing from the list of usercontrols. This gives them complete control over their page. Would you say this is a good approach or is there a better way to allow them to design their pages? I was thinking of instead of maintaining my CMS I would recommend using Joomla, Drupal, DNN, SiteInfinty or whatever to manage the backend. However do 3rd party CMS's allow for that much control or am I better off sticking to my own CMS? Is using a 3rd party CMS as easy as plug and play?

means in designing page....
I have a site with about 4 pages or so. I was asked to implement a very simple security (check if user in database, if not kick out) using active directory and validating against a table of users. I was simply thinking of createing a master page and making all pages inherit that master page. I would then authenticate the users from the master page.
View 4 RepliesI am having a website with header only as a masterpage. I need to design a Home page which contains again header and below to this I need to display the content about the website. Please provide me any good looking home page.
I need to display only text in home page but that should be in a good looking format.
I have a single web page with master detail form/input layout. Currently the form works in a way like
User opens the page containing both master/detail data entry controls and enters the master information (The details save button is disabled)When he saves the master information, the save master button gets disabled and save details is enabled User continues to enter multiple details which get populated in a gridview at the bottom of page All works well Problem is that, the master part contains a lot of data entry controls (drop down lists gridviews etc)
How do I facilitate the user much more then the current layout? Should he be redirected to a new page after he enters the master record ? How can I improve on this?
I am designing a content aspx page in dreamweaver but when when I run it in Visual Studio, the codes inserted by DW makes error. I used a AP Div then all errors appear. What should I do.:Here's me aspx:

I've tried to put the style tag inside the content tag but it is also not allowed. Can someone help me?. I need to design my created aspx page.
I am having a little difficulty trying to wrap my head around site structures. I have quite a large asp.net site, for which: Admins can see a user list, Each user can have many accounts, and for each account can have many items. I can picture this as a breadcrumb trail of editing a particular item. User List > Mr Bob > Accounts > BOB77 > Items > Item32 > Edit
User List = All the users Mr Bob = A user the administrator has selected from the User List Accounts = A list of the user's accounts 12BOB = The administrator has selected the account named 12BOB Items = A list of the items an account contains Item32 = The item that the administrator selected Edit = The action that the administrator wants to do. I can picture how this would look like if it was using ASP.NET MVC with the URL, but I am unsure how to map this out using Webforms, and in the physical filesystem.
This is what I have thought up about how I am guessing the physical structure would look like. Will this have to use session variables to achieve what I am trying to do?
/Users/User/Edit.aspx <- for editing a user
/Users/User/View.aspx <- for viewing a user
/Users/User/Accounts/Default.aspx <- for viewing all accounts
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/View.aspx <- for viewing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Edit.aspx <- for editing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Default.aspx <- for viewing all items in an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Item/Edit.aspx <- for editing an item
Where can I read more about this kind of setup in a web application? Or, can someone point me in the direction of an available project that has this kind of layout?
What should be the approach while designing when you know that your page would take considerable time to load? e.g. if it has controls which are heavy & some which are lighter? Can we make use of any of the design patterns to solve this issue?
View 4 RepliesI've been using a repeater to build a website's site map page by binding to the web.sitemap file. For example, to display 2 levels of links:
[Code]....
So far, everything works well. However, in some cases, I do not want to display certain pages in the site map. I've added a custom attribute to each node (nodisplay= 'true').How can i check for this attibute, and avoid it from being displayed by in the repeater.
I want to make a 2nd website and am using a copy of the site files from my 1st site built for me, I added them via FTP to the hosting company. I realise when I edit the new site via the CMS it is editing both sites plus when I try to change anything to the CSS file I get the following error -
C:inetpubvhosts*****mysite******httpdocsapp_themessiteStyleSheet.css
So my questions are what do I need to change to be able to deploy a new site with the files I have to make a new site?I also don't understand where the password is coming from, I can see the User ID comes from the database. in the Asp.net connection strings are the following:
site Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;Initial Catalog=***;User ID=***;Password=*** - Where is this password coming from?
membership Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;User ID=***;Password=***;persist security info=False;initial catalog=***;
I am developing a web site using ASP.Net and c#. I need to design a site map for the web site.
View 2 RepliesI have 2 sites on IIS, one is the live site and the other is a site that is only started when there is maintenance being carried out on the live site.In a deployment scenario I STOP the live site and the START the maintenance site so that users receive a friendly message advising of the upgrade.he only issue I have is when I start up the live site it obviously has to JIT and this can take up to 3 minutes.Is there anyway to have this JIT before I unleash it to the users?EDIT: Just to clarify, this site is a CMS, so the marked answer below works for me due to only having 1 page to compile.
View 4 RepliesI am working on an ASP.NET 2.0 website. The issue that I'm having is that it queries a database to get the info it displays on screen, but the database occasionally gets to where it has too many open connections. This causes the website to reject the attempt to log-in for anyone, after that database error.This is caused because many users will log-in, do what they need to do, but then leave the website running while they do other things without logging out. It will time out on them, but the connection still seems to be open. We then have to contact the person in charge of the server it's running on and have him reset it for us.I have looked and all connections made to the database seem to be closed after the request and query is made. So, what I want to do is to add a button that when clicked will reset the website, instead of having to call the guy in charge of the server every time. Then we can reset it whenever we need to. So, how do I reset an ASP.NET 2.0 website with a button on one of the pages inside the site?
View 3 RepliesI have a .net website that I've built but here's the catch - when it's deployed I don't know whether it will be deployed to the root of the site or to a sub folder of a larger site (and it needs to be able to move around between places)
And - here's the important bit - we will have zero access to IIS on the live server so this just has to run straight away.
So far I've managed to find work arounds for things like paths to resources but I now need to use a 3rd party component (.dll).
Normally this would go in the bin folder and, if I run my site in the root of the website it works fine but, as soon as we move the site to a sub folder, the reference to the 3rd party component wont work.
Now - I know normally you'd suggest creating a virtual directory under IIS but remember - I HAVE NO ACCESS TO IIS.
So - is there a way to still use 3rd party components in my project and have my project all run in a sub folder of a website?
And no - I can't move just the bin folder to the root of the site - it all has to sit within its own folder.

View 4 RepliesWhat is the best way to add into the build/compile script of an Asp.net project to initiate a IIS to restart the website on DLL rebuild instead of the first request to the site.
Current Process
Compile Project
Wait
Hit APSX Page
IIS starts reload
Wait
Page loads
Ideal process:
Compile Project & Reload IIS
Wait
Hit APSX Page
Page loads
The first way I though of was add a request to just hit one of the pages in the "Post-Build events". Just wondering best practices. This would be similar to "Start" which opens a page immediately on build. Update: The reason I would like to accomplish this is for just for efficiency. I would the to encapsulate the compile time and the restart time into one batch to save on time on step 4 below
VS: ctrl+shift+b Wait for visual que "Build succeeded". Broswer: F5. Wait for IIS reload. (as well as Hit kbd>F5 in unanswered questions in SO)Test page
I'm working on a CMS that can run either with or without https enabled on the webserver. I'd like to be able to detect whether https is enabled or not, so that I can act accordingly (for example, display some https-related options to the administrator, and redirect to https for administrator logins).
I'm not looking for Request.IsSecureConnection because that only tells me if the current request is via https. I want something that will tell me whether the current bindings for the site in IIS include a binding for https at the same domain as the current request is on. So, for example, even if the current request is for [URL] and thus not secure, I want to know whether [URL] would work so I can (for example) redirect the user to it if they log in as administrator.
I've had no luck looking for anything in System.Web.Configuration that will tell me about the bindings of the current site, though.

The difference in my case is that the request is coming from a different website (in java) to my website (in asp.net). I do not want the variable to appear in url.
To explain my scenario, we are making a webpage(plugin), which can be called from any other website. To authenticate request, i am looking for a mechanism when other website will pass id & auth-key to my page. This i can use to authenticate the request. I do not want these variable to be visible.
