View 1 RepliesI have had a real nightmare with Server.MapPath(). When I call Server.MapPath("~") in my application that is running in ASP.NET Development Server it returns root directory that ends in a back slash like f:projectsapp1, but I call it in published version, installed in IIS, it returns root directory without any back slash like c:inetpubwwwrootapp1.
string mainRoot = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~");
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(mainRoot);
//added to solve this problem with Server.MapPath
if (!mainRoot.EndsWith(@""))
mainRoot += @"";
FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.aspx");
foreach (FileInfo item in files)
{
string path = item.FullName.Replace(mainRoot, "~/").Replace(@"", "/");
//do more here
}
How do I get the smtp server address for the local machine? I want to my email address on a windows form and have the user send me an email and I need to be able to get their smtp server address programatically to do this. I tried this:
System.Net.Mail.
SmtpClient smtpc =
new
SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");
smtpc.Send(email);
It caused an exception.
I have a web service I need to connect to. But when trying to connect to it through visual studios, I get this error. The request failed with HTTP status 405: Method Not Allowed. I have the wsdl files on my location machine. I was told to create the proxies from these. The problem is I'm not quite sure how. This seems to be a little over my head right now. Not the best project to learn WCF or WSE on. Does anyone know how to create the proxies from wsdl files on my local machine. The services themselves are pretty simple, they just have security elements in the headers. UsernameToken. And then some custom fields.
View 1 Repliesi have been trying to solve this for hours with no luck. i seem to be missing something fundamental.
i have a remote FTP server with a file called log.txt on it, i wish to allow web users to download this file to their local drive to a designated folder.
i have a function calling this sub i found on the web with the filename to download.when trying to run this code i get this error:
" Could not find a part of the path 'C: empFtpDownloadsFolderlog.txt'. "
[Code]....
if i replace this line:
[Code]....
i get no error but the file is not in the TempPath. (it shows it to be saved to "C:WindowsTEMPlog.txt" )
i have a feeling its being save on the server instead of my local drive.
When I run the application using the Web Developer it works fine. However when I run it using local IIS I get the following error:

View 3 RepliesI am working on some project where I am needed to allow users to upload files, but only in pdf and .doc format. Now I know how to let users upload files, but I do not know how to check whether an uploading files is pdf and .doc or not. How could I know that? And how could I know the size of each file, for the file should be no greater than 3 MB?
Also, I have alloted a separate folder for the files that are uploaded by users. I have one page that displays the links to download the files in that folder. I needed to know how could I keep the track of the folder, for the files get uploaded every time? Or in other words, how could my 'downloads page' know about the files in that folder and create links for each file in that folder for the download? Also, if I create a link of a file for downloading purposes, will the file be downloaded when one clicks the link?
With the project I'm working right now, the team and I don't believe the network/computer policies will allow us to create and save Excel files on a local machine through the Web pages we're building. Well, let me clarify. When we run our web pages on our development machines, when we go to save information to excel through the web page, it uses our local excel executable. However, we want it to use the web server's excel executable. When we run the website, we're running individual local copies because we don't have a web server to test on, so we can't verify if it will use the Web Server's or ours. Does anyone know what it will do, or if it has to be programmatically set a specific way to use excel on the web server, and not on the local machine. Once we get the Web Server to use excel, we'd save the file to a network share that would allow the user to view the file.
View 2 RepliesI created a HttpHandler for downloading files from the server. It seems it is not handling anything...I put a breakpoint in the ProcessRequest, it never goes there.
public class DownloadHandler : IHttpHandler
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
//download stuff and break point
}
}
It never stops there, as mentioned. I also registered it in the web.config.
<add verb="*" path="????" type="DownloadHandler" />
I am not sure about the path part of that entry. What do I have to enter there? I am downloading txt files, but the URL does not contain the filename, I somehow have to pass it to the handler. How would I do this? Session maybe?

I'm new to ASP.NET (only been learning 6 months at college) and have set up a login page with a loginview, login name and login status. The pages work fine on my local machine I can login logout and see the user name etc..But when I upload this to my home testing server the domain name shows up http://mysite/rootfolder/login.aspx, this should read http://mysite/login.aspx. I've set the DestinationPageUrl as both a direct link and ~/admin.aspx and /admin.aspx
View 17 Repliesi developed an asp.net web site and i used ModuleRewriter to rename my pages you can refer to this link [URL] and i want to add many pages programatically at run time for example i have a page named :
[URL]styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx
and i want to display this page like this :
[URL]Default.aspx
so my code was like this :
public static void confgrewriter()
{
try
{
RewriterRuleCollection rules = RewriterConfiguration.GetConfig().Rules;
RewriterRule r = new RewriterRule();
r.LookFor ="~/Dfealut.aspx" ;
r.SendTo ="~/styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx";
rules.Add(r);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{ }
}
and this solution is working very good on iis at my local machine but when i did upload this website on shared host i recive error message: The resource cannot be found.
Description:

I am attempting to write an asp.net application that copies any file from the user's local machine to another server on the same network.
The Catch
The server that will house the application is separate from the server that will receive the files from the local user's machine. In other words, to do the file copy the user will have to access the application on one server via IIS and within the application it must place that file on another server. Further, these servers while on the same network cannot physically see each other.
In addition, the users of the application are connected Anonymously (Anonymous Authentication)
For a church website I'm managing, there is a need to place audio files (sermons) on the website. There will be two categories of audio files; one will be a sample size of the audio file, around 5 minutes in length. The other will be the full-length of the sermon (30-50 +/- minutes).
I have decided the best setup would be to place the audio files on the server. I would then store the audio information, as well as the path to the audio file, in a database. I had thought about placing the audio files in the database as a BLOB, but it seemed inefficient. My concern, is with tools like Mozillza plug-in "Download Helper" , it is so easy to simply grab the media files off the server. This would not be a big deal, except we want to sell the full-length audio files. I am running ASP.NET 3.5 on IIS 7.
downloading multiple files from the server side through the browser (i.e. Chrome) I've debbuged it the foreach iterates fine but it only downloads the first file.
Here's the code snippet:

SQLConnection = new SqlConnection(SQLConnectionString);
foreach (CartItem CartProduct in Cart.Instance.Items)

Clicking the save button on my webform that's on our dev server:

How does the DevServer even know my computer exists? I haven't hardcoded any URLS in my code.
I have html editor on page, ajax 3.5. I can save Editor.Content to xml file without problem, after I publish to server machine, It refused to work for me.
my page directive set to ValidateRequest = false and EnableEvenValidate = false and AutoEventWireUp = false, no UpdatePanel used around Editor and update button. on code behind which is button click event.
Dim docInfo.Load(Server.MapPath(xmlInfoFilePath))
docInfo As
New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
Dim ndInfo As System.Xml.XmlNode
ndInfo = docInfo.SelectSingleNode("/info/business[@user='" & User.Identity.Name &
"']")
If ndInfo IsNot
Nothing Then
ndInfo.Attributes("description").Value = Editor.Content
docInfo.Save(Server.MapPath(xmlInfoFilePath))
End If
docInfo = Nothing
This button click generate an error on server side. I guess the problem Editor.Content have hidden tags, the server refuse to accept, but what is real problem.

On one of my pages I display a datetime (from a database) and it is formatted correctly as a UK date time (dd-mm-yyyy) on my local machine. However when I deploy it to a server it reverts to American format (mm-dd-yyyy). Does anyone have any idea of when this might be happening?This might be outside the scope of stackoverflow
View 3 RepliesI have a web site using Forms Authentication that downloads a PDF file specific to the user from a page. On the development server I have it working fine, on the live server it checks to see if the file exists and fails (correctly) if it doesn't, but does not load the Dialog Box to save/open/cancel if it does exist. Any ideas ? There are no events logged, the code is as follows and by the way I have tried various combos of WriteFile/TransmitFile as per other forum posts - many combos seem to work on development machine(!!) but fail on live...

I have created a CSV file on the server and want to send it to the user using the following code:
Dim strPhysicalPath As String
strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath( "CSV/" & PathVirtual)
Dim objFileInfo As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(strPhysicalPath)
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & objFileInfo.Name)
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", objFileInfo.Length.ToString())
Response.WriteFile(strPhysicalPath)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
This seems to work fine except when the downloaded file is viewed in Excell the html code behind the page from which it came is also appended to the file. Does anyone have any idea why it does this?
