I see on the bottom of blog pages a sharing buttons (Twitter and Facebook), where if clicked the link behind (which is normally the blog page url) the fshare button takes the clicker to the blog site facebook page respectively.
How does one do this in asp.net 2 , does one one use the <%# %> in the url part of these share buttons, are there any examples of how this is done?
With Twitter's new OAuth interface, their API is now many times more complex than what it was. And I haven't even looked at Facebook's API yet.
What I'm wondering if there is a method that employs some higher-level, existing code or interfaces to make this a simpler task.
All I want to be able to do is initiate a Twitter tweet or Facebook share on the user's behalf and be able to control the initial text of those messages, from an ASP.NET application.
I found some similar questions on SO, but they had no answers. EDIT: I know there are things like AddThis and ShareThis, but I need something that will give me control over the default message. It must contain a link with a code that is specific to the current user.
If you could give me some guidelines It would mean a lot to me. what type of authentication I use, how to do id from localhost, how to modify web.config file etc
View 1 RepliesI have 2 asp.net mvc2 projects in a solution. One is normal site for visitors use and the other one is admin back-end which is going to be separated by sub-domains like [URL] and [URL] The scenario is like admin will add a new item(e.g product) with image and [URL] will use that image to display product. Both application are sharing one db. so there is no problem to get the item details that is coming from the db. but for item image that has been uploaded in admin directory([URL]- any idea how to get it from general domain [URL]to display? Also what is the best way of separating the resources like image files or even css or js files across sites and how to access them?

View 3 RepliesI have 2 projects, where they both can upload attachments into a directory.
The problem is how do you get the projects to be able to access each others attachments or even save these attachments in the same folder...
At the moment my ProjectA saves uploads into its "uploads" folder... But when you are running ProjectB it doesnt have the same uploads folder (if that makes sense)
e.g.
ProjectA uploads folder: localhost:50732uploads
ProjectB uploads folder: localhost:50331uploads
I want these projects to be able to view attachments that the "other" project has uploaded.
it's possible for multiple projects to reference/share the same bin folder?
View 4 RepliesI have a web application (MainApplication) where many of the pages contain a custom Web Control that looks for some content in a cache. If it can't find any data within the cache, then it goes out to a database for the content. After retrieving the content, the Control displays the content on the page.
There is a web application (CMS) in a subdirectory within the aforementioned web application. Users use this CMS to update the content pulled in by the MainApplication.
When a user updates some content using the CMS, I need the CMS to clear the relevant portion of the cache used by the MainApplication. The problem is that, as two different web applications, they can't simply interact with the same static cache object.
The ideal solution would be to somehow share an instance of a cache object between both web applications.
Failing that, what would be the best (performance-wise) way of communicating between the two web applications? Obviously, writing/reading to a database would defeat the purpose. I was thinking about a flat file?
I begin with MVC and this technology is very efficient !
I would like to create several applications mapped with a common applicaton Users Accounts. The aim is to isolate logical parts. The problem is always the same : how to communicate easily between users db and appli db ? Do I continue to use my poor View mechanism from SQL Server (db1.Users.UserId inner join db2.Users.UserId) or is it a better way with super MVC?
Is there a way to define a <Columns> outside of a GridView in my .aspx file such that I can use those <Columns> in multiple GridViews in the same page? I have two GridViews that will have the same DataSource type, just with different content, and I'd rather not repeat all my customized TemplateFields in each. This seems simple enough, it's just I'm new to ASP.NET. Coming from WPF, it feels like I should be able to define my <Columns> in some parent "Resources" area, define its TargetType, give it a key, and then reference that key wherever I want those <Columns> to appear.

If there is a self contained web app, let's use the Screw Turn Wiki as an example, that utilizes the App_Data to store the MDF, is there any way another web app, living in the same domain, can also use that MDF?
Example IIS Setup:
http://wiki.domain.com | c:webwiki | port 80
http://www.domain.com | c:website | port 80
My WWW web app would like to pull some data from the WIKI app. Without moving the MDF to a full fledged SQL Server is there a way to do this? Also note, the WIKI app is an installed app so I don't have access to its source.
What is the best method/technology to sharing the same data access layer between WPF, Silverlight, and ASP.NET? I am using ADO.NET Entity framework, and was thinking of a creating a DAL using the Repository pattern.Then using the RIA Services as a dummy middle man to connect Silverlight and ASP.NET. Is this a solid plan or are there other better solutions out there?

I have an asp.net application and webservices (asmx) that reside in the same application but not in the same folder of the aspx files. I aslo have a winform application that uses the webservices. I have marked the webservice methods with [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)] but I am not able to share the same session values that are on the application in the webservices. The winform application has access to the sessionID from the application and I am using the following code
Uri uri = new Uri(ServerServiceUrl);
_cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
_cookieContainer.Add(new Cookie("ASP.NET_SessionId", SessionID, "/", uri.Host));
My question is: Is there something that I am missing or doing wrong that I cannot access the application sessioin from the webservices?
I have 2 applications. One on asp.net webforms [URL] which should provide authentication, user logs in and I can use the cookie to authenticate on my asp.net mvc app located at [URL]. All I'd like to do is able to access the cookie so I can get the userId that was stored in it using the FormsAuthentication.
They use normal authentication provided by microsoft;
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms domain="test.com" loginUrl="Default.aspx" protection="All" path="/" requireSSL="false" timeout="45" name=".ASPXAUTH" slidingExpiration="true" defaultUrl="Default.aspx" cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" enableCrossAppRedirects="false"/>
</authentication>
This cookie should be accessible to any submain on [URL] right?
We have about 50 web-sites, running in different application pools, that read from a common cache database (using Microsoft Enterprise Library Caching application block). We currently have a console application which populates the cache at 3AM every morning. However, we want to get rid of this application and get the cache to automatically refresh expired items, using the ICacheItemRefreshAction interface.
We were going to create our cache object in the Global.asax of each of the 50 web-sites. However, my concern is that if we set a cache-expiration policy in Global.asax, that each of the 50 web-sites will trigger a refresh action, causing the data to be re-cached 50 times. We don't want only 1 web-site to set the expiration policies, as then the 49 other web-sites will have a dependency on that 1 web-site, and that's an architecture no-no.
Is there a way to share user controls between various projects ?
I have created user controls like login control, menu control, header control, lost password control and etc and they are all connected to sql database for data.
I would like to share these between various web site projects, it means I have same functionality and the only modifications I can do is within CSS styles.
Do I need to copy modules or is there a way to keep them as shared classes/modules and call what I need every time I need it?

In asp.net, I have a parent and a child control. Within the child control I have a dropdown list. Based on dropdown list's selected value I would like to toggle Visibility of Panel in parent control. For instance if I select Show in child control dropdown list, I need to pass true to parent control to make Panel visible and vice versa. How should I do that. I have read that can be done via the event handling and have seen certain scenarios but I am not clear on that.
View 3 RepliesI have multiple projects that need to share resource files (.resx) Suggestions have been made to move resource files to a separate assembly and have web projects reference it. Is there an example of how to do this?
Do I create a new Class Library project and move App_GlobalResource folder inside of that? I don't think that will work because code classes that are generated for resource files are marked as 'internal' which means that they can not be accessed outside of this assembly.
I am trying to live stream my desktop over http to one or more users. The immediate goal is just to share the desktop in real time in read only mode for several users. In future we might allow the users to control the desktop as well by mouse or keyboard. I have these queries in this context- Is HTML5 + H.264 right for this or do I need to go with Flash?In either case what are all the components/servers I need for a live streaming infrastructure? (Like desktop, encoder, streaming server, web server, media player etc)? It will help compare the options, if You can post your preferences for each of these components/servers.
