I'm looking for advice on what .NET user interface components are out there on the market. I have been developing asp.net websites and have mainly been using the Visual studio toolbox build in controls supported by the AjaxcontrolToolkit and the applications have been mainly used inhouse running on our company intranet.
But now a new client wants a much more professional looking, commercial web application and they have a budget for some user components for use in the application. Any recommendations where value for money will be realised.
Interested in components that will integrate well with ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 or even .NET 4.
I need track Users activities in my Cms Admin section (protected by password).
I would like to know:
If is possible add GA (Google Anlytic) code and use it even if the pages where the code is placed are covered by password.
If such use can create secrity vulnerability of any kind. (If is good or bad practice).
How to retrieve easily the statistics from pages in Admin section if the folder for admin is (example: ADMIN) in GA account. They come up like /admin/mypage.aspx??? Or how???
Generally, I would like your opinion about it and if you are using this approch it in your current web application.
One thing I would like to improve on for many of my web applications, is the user interface design and the "look and feel" of the sites. To begin looking at how to do this, I thought I would start by asking the community what additional software they use or would recommend to combine with either VS2008 or VS2010.
I have several tables in a database (6-7 tables and ~200,000 records, MS SQL) that I'd like users to be able to use a web based query form and return information/datagrid/download csv/excel files. I'd like the user to be able to query the table they want and fields they want, time they want (maybe datepicker)or by selecting a field and perform a GT/LT operation on it. Has anyone done this and if so are there any resources/templates for this type of thing?Here is an example:I have a 'weather' table with 20 variables in it. I'd like a user to be able to select the fields they want to export (radio/check box) by using a date picker A user could select the variable "Temperature" and use GT/LT, etc. some value they enter. in a perfect world, the user could select a checkbox to include all other fields in the output.
I am somewhat of a novice at ASP.NET, but have a lot of database experience. I want to build a web query interface to allow users to get data back from a database. The idea would be to choose various fields (I have about 20+ fields and 200,000 records in the database, and use either the checkbox, listpicker, radio, etc. to select the fields they want). Then the person could search by date, or search by greater than/less than statements in a particular field.
For example: the user could select: Temerature as the variable, and then Greater than and then enter a value and hit submit. I'd like the option to be able to include all the other fields from the table as well (maybe with a check box or something).
I use java(struts2) to do the web application before,it is easy to control this use the jsp tag or struts2 tags: For example(suppose the "do something" operation need use login):
I have a webpart with asp.net control within.I would like to hide some parts of that control, some asp:net panels etc. regarding one of the TextBox's value. The issue is that I don't know to change the visibility of asp:panel wrapper without any postback, and how to refresh page to see the changes on the UI.I was trying to implement TextChanged event but it dosen't work.
I want to deisgn a user memebership management interface which allows the Site Admin to:
View all the users and the role the are assigned. Also I want to have a Manage/Edit linkbutton which shows a Popup Modal, allowing the Admin to update the users details.
I come across [URL]. Are there any similar Open Source free components? Or tutorials which i can follow to achieve this?
I'm staring to learn T4 .I want to create a framework for my self that enable me to generate DAL and UI.Like Code generator softwares that maps Codes and User Interface from database .i don't have any question about generating data access layer.my challenge is to generate UI ( asp.net controls and HTML)
I am not sure how the user defined class objects are garbage collected. Do I need to implement IDisposable interface on every class and call the dispose() method on it to free the memory?
I am creating a interface for User Role Management based on built in membership provider.I want to display all the roles as check boxes for a selected user. I am able to display all the roles in the database, but not able to load the specific user roles. For example, I am able to publish role 1 role 2 role3 role 4 as check boxes. But if the user is already flagged as role 1 and role 3, I am not able to show that data (role1 and 3 should be checked when form loads, but right now, they are not checked)...How do I get the roles as checked boxes display on a page.I am using a repeater control to display roles as check boxes on the page..
i'd like to recieve comments on the way i'm trying to build an asp.net web application which uses a WCF service that is hosted in another asp.net application. Both applications will live on the same machine, but the app with the WCF service will not be accessible from the outside. there will be two web servers sharing the load behind a load balancer.
The app pool of both applications will use the same local user account (web server is not part of a domain) and so i was thinking to use WsHttpBinding with windows security for communication between client and internal wcf service.
The fron-end asp.net app uses forms authentication through a custom membership/role provider to athenticate and authorize users. The user database is in a sql server database.
i need to somehow pass to the wcf service the user details (username + roles) so that in the wcf it will be possible to validate and authorize according to the roles of who is logged in the front-end. I read i need to use "support tokens", but i haven't figured out how to use this.
I read also something about claims and WIF, which seems interesting but have no idea how i could use these in my scenario.
is there anyone who can give me recommendations about the architecture and maybe also show me how to pass the username to the wcf service and also show me if possible to use claims based authorization?
Looking for design recommendations in asp.netwhat be better to use for design controls on the screento put controls in table ? or absolute position for the controls ?what is better to use ? What all developers use ?
From the following URL i got some doubts about the Recommendations for using Abstract class vs interfaces
[URL]
1. If you anticipate creating multiple versions of your component, create an abstract class. Abstract classes provide a simple and easy way to version your components. By updating the base class, all inheriting classes are automatically updated with the change. Interfaces, on the other hand, cannot be changed once created. If a new version of an interface is required, you must create a whole new interface. { Is there any example for this t ounderstand throughly ?} If you are designing small, concise bits of functionality, use interfaces. If you are designing large functional units, use an abstract class. If you want to provide common, implemented functionality among all implementations of your component, use an abstract class. Abstract classes allow you to partially implement your class, whereas interfaces contain no implementation for any members. { Is there any example for this t ounderstand throughly?
I look after a number of divisional websites for a uk based membership organisation and what we want to do is provide, as well as other address functions, is a closest member lookup to a web user from the websites themselves.A few use cases that I want to fill:ase 1: The user puts in their post code and wants to see all the members in a 5/10/15/20/30/40 mile radius from themCase 2: The member puts in an area (city, county, etc.) and gets a list of members in that area.Essentially what I'm looking for is a programmable API which I can code against to do:post code lookup and returns addresses (after picking house number for example). search post code + radius (5miles, 10miles etc) and get a set of applicable post codes to then join onto the membership records in the databaseAny recommendations? It can be a quarterly update install on the server, it can be a queryable web service.
I'm looking for recommendations for a basic site search control or example of creating some code to provide a way for users to search a site I am developing. I'd like to keep it quite simple if possible and ideally want something I can use straight away.
I'm starting to plan an architecture for a big web application, and I wanted to get suggestions and/or recommendations on where to begin and which technologies and/or frameworks to use. The application will be an Intranet-based web site using Windows authentication, running on IIS and using SQL Server and ASP.NET. It'll need to be structured as a main/shell application with sub-applications that are "pluggable" based on some configuration settings.
The main or shell application is to provide the overall user interface structure - header/footer, dynamically built tabs for each available sub-app, and a content area in which the sub-application will be loaded when the user clicks on the sub-application's tab. So, on start-up of the main/shell application, configuration information will be queried from a database, and, based on the user and which of the sub-apps are available, the main or shell app would dynamically build tabs (or buttons or something) as a way to access each individual application. On start-up, the content area will be populated with the "home" sub-app. But, clicking on an sub-app tab will cause the content area to be populated with the sub-app corresponding to the tab.
For example, we're going to have a reports application, a display application, and probably a couple other distinct applications. On startup of the main/shell application, after determining who the user is, the main app will query the database to determine which sub-apps the user can use and build out the UI. Then the user can navigate between available sub-apps and do their work in each. Finally, the entire app and all sub-apps need to be a layered design with presentation, service, business, and data access layers, as well as cross-cutting objects for things such as logging, exception handling, etc.
Anyway, my questions revolve around where to begin to plan something like this application. What technologies/frameworks would work best in developing a solution for this application? MVC? MVP? WCSF? EF? NHibernate? Enterprise Library? Repository Pattern? Others? I know all these technologies/frameworks are not used for the same purpose, but knowing which ones to focus on is a little overwhelming. Which ones would be the best choice(s) for a solution? Which ones work well together for an end-to-end design? How would one structure the VS project for something like this?
I'm looping through an array of controls and need to know which controls an end-user has the ability to (via JavaScript or directly) change the value that gets posted back. Where can I find such a list?
So far I have this:
Private Function IsEditableControl(ByVal control As Control) As Boolean Return TypeOf control Is IEditableTextControl _ OrElse TypeOf control Is ICheckBoxControl _ OrElse GetType(ListControl).IsAssignableFrom(control.GetType()) _ OrElse GetType(HiddenField).IsAssignableFrom(control.GetType()) End Function
I'm considering going at this myself because my requirements are particular and highly customized:
The grid is bound to a collection of complicated objects, each of which may contain child and grandchild objects. Depending on data and context, the template'd cells vary from TextBoxes to ComboBoxes to Calendars to a combination of controls.TextBox cells have Google-style auto-complete functionality. Also each TextBox cell can expand into a small TreeView pane that allows hierarchy-navigating selection of a value should auto-complete be insufficient.Values from other controls can be drag-and-dropped into cells.Columns are re-sizable and re-orderable. Clicking their headers sorts data.All of the above is AJAX / client-side / Web 2.0 of course.
Has anyone built anything similar from scratch? Or used an effective tool to accomplish this goal? How well would Telerik meet my specs? Is it right to have the hunch that something this specific is best done by taking a Microsoft GridView and extending it myself?
where he sells paper products, as well as custom posters, banners, and the like. He doesn't have a website, so he's hired me to create one for him, where users can place orders, check the status of their order, etc.Other than his requirements, I'm trying to come up with other common functionalities that I should include in the site; things like a company blog, an admin section containing a simple CMS and error tracking/logging, a contact form, etc. Just common things that would be useful for a business site that he (or even I) might not think of
Implemented shopping cart overview with the ability to delete previous added items.Allows connection to Paypal
(I've already found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1522832/looking-for-a-lightweight-asp-net-shopping-cart-that-is-paypal-compatible but the posted solution "shopping cart .net" does not seem to fulfill the third requirement, If I'm not mistaken.)
