Jan 4, 2011As the title says then the question is relative simple however I cant decide whether a resource file with strings in is better than hard-coded strings...

VS 2005 / ASP - Cannot Find XML File Unless Hard Coded
Feb 24, 2010The simple website I am trying to build is a list of banks with their corresponding website. I also wanted the ability to add banks/website with the use of some text boxes and a button click event. I've got this fully working until I publish it. When I try to run it on the webserver it say it can not find the specified file c:windowssystem32inetservURLs.xml Now I understand the problem I just can not seem to fix it with out hard coding the path of the file into code.
Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

'Create a New Element
Dim bankNode As XmlNode
bankNode = Doc.CreateElement("bank")
'create and add sub elements for this node
Dim nameNode, addressNode, dateNode As XmlNode '
nameNode = Doc.CreateElement("name")
addressNode = Doc.CreateElement("address")
dateNode = Doc.CreateElement("date")
bankNode.AppendChild(nameNode)
bankNode.AppendChild(addressNode)
bankNode.AppendChild(dateNode)
'add the text data
nameNode.AppendChild(Doc.CreateTextNode(tbWebsite.Text))
addressNode.AppendChild(Doc.CreateTextNode(tbAddress.Text))
dateNode.AppendChild(Doc.CreateTextNode(DateTime.Today))
'add the new element to the end of the list
Doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(bankNode)
'save it

Crystal Reports :: Connection To Db Seems To Be Hard Coded?
Apr 7, 2010I built a crystal report using crystal report 2008, and have it working fine aganist my test db. in my c# code that loads the report I put this in:
[Code]....
but problem is when i pushed this change to production, the report was stilling pulling test data, even though the web.config entry (LocalSqlServer) was updated in production to use production db. Could I have setup the crystal file incorrectly? When I'm creating the crystal file and connecting it to the db, is there something that I need to check or uncheck to tell it I'm going to dynamically supply the db connection rather than having it use the one I used to setup the report?

Bind Datafield To Dropdown List With Hard Coded Values?
Jan 19, 2010I have a dropdown list with hard coded values:
<asp:ListItem Text="One Day Shoots" Value="1" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Multi-day Shoots" Value="2" />
I want to use this to insert and edit values from a db. For example when adding a record the user selects 'One Day Shoots' and 1 gets inserted into the database. Then if the user goes to edit the page since the value in the db is 1 then the 'One Day Shoots' is selected.
One way I considered accomplishing this was by using a hidden feild - when the user selects something in the dropdown list the field is updated with the value, then when the user actually adds the record the value in the feild is submitted. I'm pretty sure this would work but is there a better way?
Web Forms :: Removing Hard Coded Connectionstring From DropDown List?
Jun 15, 2010I'm relativley new to ASP and am using VB for the coding. I have a page that has a few fields on it, one being a drop down list that get's populated from a SQL Server.
I used the GUI to generate this form (see below), the connectionstring:Prod1ConnectionString that is stored in the web config file is hard coded. I want to change that I use the connection string that is passed as a Session parameter. I've been looking for hours for an example of how to remove the connectionstring from the web code and place the proper code in code behind script on the load_page event.

View 1 RepliesApplication_Start Versus OnInit Versus Constructor?
Jul 23, 2010I've gone rounds with this ever since I started programming classic ASP 12 (or so) years ago and I've never found a great solution because the architecture of ASP and ASP.NET has always been a swamp of bad practices, magic shared singletons, etc. My biggest issue is with the HttpApplication object with its non-event events (Application_Start, Application_End, etc.).
If you want to do stuff once for the entire lifespan of an HTTP application, Application_Start is the obvious place to do it. Right? Not exactly. Firstly, this is not an event per se, it's a magic naming convention that, when followed, causes the method to be called once per AppDomain created by IIS.
Besides magic naming conventions being a horrible practice, I've started to think it might be a reason there exist no such thing as a Start event on the HttpApplication object. So I've experimented with events that do exist, such as Init. Well, this isn't really an event either, it's an overridable method, which is the next best thing.
It seems that the Init() method is called for every instantiation of an HttpApplication object, which happens a lot more than once per AppDomain. This means that I might as just put my startup logic inside the HttpApplication object's constructor.
Now my question is, why shouldn't I put my startup logic in the constructor? Why does even Init() exist and do I need to care about Application_Start? If I do, can anyone explain why there is no proper event or overridable method for this pseudo-event in the HttpApplication object?
And can anyone explain to me why in a typical ASP.NET application, 8 instances of my HttpApplication are created (which causes the constructor and Init to run just as many times, of course; this can be mitigated with locking and a shared static boolean called initialized) when my application only has a single AppDomain?

I guess there's a best practice for this kind of scenario.

View 1 RepliesHow To Get Resource File By Code
Feb 24, 2010I'm using labels with resource keys. Right now i made a control, with also a lot of resource key's in it, i thought the page where i put the control in would read the resources, but it wont. So 2 solutions needed.
The nicest thing would be if i could 'bind' the resourcefile to the ascx file. But how?
Otherwise i need to get the values to the ascx file, but how can i do that?
How can i get the value of the resource file, of course het sould auto select the correct language resx file. With this it works:
<asp:Label ID="lblHeaderClickCategory" runat="server" Text="lblHeaderClickCategory"
meta:resourcekey="lblHeaderClickCategory" Visible="false" />
But its quite stupit to need a label to get the value, it shoudl be possible by code.

Pros/cons Of Reading Connection String From Physical File Versus Application Object
Apr 9, 2010my ASP.NET application reads an xml file to determine which environment it's currently in (e.g. local, development, production).
It checks this file every single time it opens a connection to the database, in order to know which connection string to grab from the Application Settings.
I'm entering a phase of development where efficiency is becoming a concern. I don't think it's a good idea to have to read a file on a physical disk ever single time I wish to access the database (very often).
I was considering storing the connection string in Application["ConnectionString"].
[code].....
I didn't design the application so I figure there must have been a reason for reading the xml file every time (to change settings while the application runs?) I have very little concept of the inner workings here. What are the pros and cons?
