How to code to detect the file existing in http format?
Scenario: I have a bunch of web applications for which I want to add a simple ping functionality via http handler. Example: [URL]
Problem: For some of the applications this approach does not work becasue of custom HttpModule. These modules have some depedency on either authentication or some other processing logic due to which it makes the request invalid.
I am trying to find a solution to get this ping functionality work without making any changes to existing HttpModules.
I hv a file upload control which save files in folder upload_html. When I upload file of same name which already exists upload_html folder it does't replace that file.........
I want that file to be replaced from that folder.............
Is there a way to add a file upload progress bar to the existing .net file uploader? I have an uploader on my site that has all kinds of things tied to it that I can't change to use an AJAX uploader. Or as far as I know I can't. So I was wondering if anyone knew how to add the progress bar to the asp.net uploader.
View 4 RepliesIn my asp.net project i have a folder (folder name "Data").
I upload .pdf file and save the .pdf file in My Data folder.
In same day if i upload same name file then the previous file is overwrite without any message.
So I would like to know, how can i show a message like ("same name file is exit ,Do u want to replace it").
I've been thrown into the middle of this project without knowing all the background. If you've got WTF questions, trust me, I have them too.
Here is the scenario: I've got a bunch of files residing on an IIS server. They have no file extension on them. Just naked files with names like "asda-2342-sd3rs-asd24-ut57" and so on. Nothing intuitive.
The problem is I need to serve up files on an ASP.NET (2.0) page and display the tiff files as tiff and the PDF files as PDF. Unfortunately I don't know which is which and I need to be able to display them appropriately in their respective formats.
For example, lets say that there are 2 files I need to display, one is tiff and one is PDF. The page should show up with a tiff image, and perhaps a link that would open up the PDF in a new tab/window.
The problem:
As these files are all extension-less I had to force IIS to just serve everything up as TIFF. But if I do this, the PDF files won't display. I could change IIS to force the MIME type to be PDF for unknown file extensions but I'd have the reverse problem.

Is this problem easier than I think or is it as nasty as I am expecting?
I have a full working web site that i ported to a new hosting company. In some pages i have links to PDF on the server (they do exist!) On the old server no problem. On the new one when user clicks on the link : error 404 file does not exist.. Should i look in the web.config ? i don't know where to start
View 3 RepliesI'm developing a website that has modular section. I would like it that when a new aspx (and aspx.cs) file is placed in a subdirectory of the application that I can ask the class some information...The idea is that when the file is placed in the directory a new menu item is added to the menu. To do that I need to "ask the class" for its name, icon, description, etc. Is there a way to determine the class that is defined in codebehind file and to instantiate an instance of it?I know I could look for and parse a config file for each plugin but I would rather not have to go that route.
View 1 Repliesusing vb.net/asp.net 2005
I am opening and reading and I need to detect the encoding of the file that I am reading. There are different system users who will be using different encoding in their files so I have no control over this.
[Code]....
While the default encoding normally works there are special foreign language (non-English) characters that are not being read correctly, instead there are garbage characters in their place that I see "myString" above. Good foreign characters are visible in the file but the result in myString are unreadable garbage characters that are not valid.
I have researched this and it has been suggested to determine the encoding of the file and then use that encoding, but I have not been able to find out how to to do this.
so in a nutshell: how can I use vb.net to detect the encoding of an excel file?
My question is similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194579/how-to-detect-when-a-user-has-successfully-finished-downloading-a-file-in-php but I have to do the same using IIS, ASP.NET and C#.
None of the methods in the HttpResponse class provide feedback if the data was sent or not, TransmitFile just does its job (or not) and does not provide any means of knowing the result.I was thinking of using the .Filter property but then again, the filter is based on the HttpResponseStream which does also not provide any feedback.
on my website I have file uploading (only text files). How to detect correct file type?
Reading first 8 bytes doesn't works here because there are text files.
I'm trying to let the user download different documents where the data is stored in an SQL DB. In firefox, the filetype is correctly read, but not in IE. I'm trying to do this without having to set the ".pdf" or whatever extension the document has, because I haven't got that information. I only have the filetype.
[Code]....
My users like to upload password-protected Word documents into our custom document management system. I'd like to add a validation to check for the password and refuse the upload if it has a password.
Automating Word - with COM interop - is out of the question because this is a server side application.
I am curious as to how the file sharing sites like rapidshare detect users downloading files through download managers.
How do you enable an ASP.NET web application to prevent downloads from a download manager.
i want to show info like how much time will be requited to download file in client machine. every client will have different internet speed so how can i detect and show time required to download file in client machine. is it possible in asp.net.
View 2 RepliesI embed wmp, swf, and qt in a modalpopupextender. Some of the video files take a long time to load so a given player's window stays empty for too long. I think I should be able to have the player hidden initially and display an animated gif in the modalpopupextender and then when the video files completes loading I'd hide the gif and show the player (or simply manipulate the corresponding z-indexes).

I've added a new silverlight application to my project. It works fine by itself.
I even have a ClientBin folder in my ASP.NET Web Application with the XAP file of my Silverlight project.
So how I embed that Silverlight project into my existing ASP.NET web application?
I have a scenario where my application is going to be publishing services that are consumed by both PC's and mobile devices, and I have a HTTPModule that I want to only perform work on only the mobile requests. So I thought the best way of doing this was to point the mobile requests to a different file extension and have the HTTPModule decide to process only if the request targets this new extension.
I don't need a custom HTTPHandler for the new extension; I want to program the services like a normal .ASMX service, just with a different extension.
First, can I do this? If so, how do I do it so that requests to my new extension are handled just like .ASMX requests?
Second, is this the right approach? Am I going about separating and managing the mobile vs. PC requests the wrong way?
I want to stamp first page of any existing pdf file with any text enter by the user and save it again or overwrite the file. I found some article about it on google but all are either create a new pdf file or save the stamped file in new pdf file. I want to save the stamping in existing file.
