I am using Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice in conjunction with the MDBF file that goes in the App_Browsers/Devices folder [URL] Now using Sea Monkey browser (latest version 2.0.7) IsMobileDevice returns true. Why might this be the case as clearly Sea Monkey is not a mobile browser. In fact, I had the understanding it used a lot of the same core as FireFox (which does not return true)
View 2 Replieshttp://mdbf.codeplex.com/ project is no longer supported from October 29, 2010. Can anybody please suggest what is the other source of ASP.NET mobile device database that can be easily integrated with existing ASP.NET website and will help with mobile detection and redirection.
View 4 RepliesI googled this topic and I came across with three different ways to configure browser capabilities: browscap.ini, browserCaps element in web.config and .browser files in App_Browsers. I thought .browser files is the latest way, but I don't seem to find up-to-date files. But I found quite fresh browscap.ini from [URL]
My first priority is to exclude common crawlers from the visitor stats. The second priority is to detect browser and os with correct versions (e.g. Opera 11 / Win7). Are there any libraries I could use? Is browscap.ini still a valid way and is it possible to use it without access to system files? Where can I find up-to-date .browser files?
I need to separate IE and FF browsers from others it's a pseudo-code :
If (CurrentBrowser == IE(6+) or FF(2+) )
{
...
}
else
{
...
}
in protected void Page_Load() event (think so)
if ((Request.Browser.Type == "IE") || (Request.Browser.Type == "FF"))
{
WebMsgBox.Show("1111");
}
no effects :-/ what is IE and FF types?
I have an ASP.Net site on which we're using control adapters. We have the adapters mapped to a "refID" of "Default." These adapters are working fine on all browsers except Chrome and Safari. For those browsers, they do not execute. I've given up trying to figure out why -- I have a question here on SO that no one has been able to answer, and I've been researching it for days now. It's just inexplicable.
I have tested the same code in my local environment, and it works just fine. Additionally, no one else can replicate my problem on other servers. It seems to be somehow confined to the machines at my client's site. Could they be somehow out-of-date? If this is the case, is there some way to "update" the .browser files? I'm half-tempted to just copy the .browser files out of the Framework directory from my machine over to theirs, but I'm curious is there's something more formal than this? Is there some other source of data that ASP.Net uses for browser detection other than these files?
suppose when user click on link or button for downloading file in asp.net then download start.so i just want to know how to detect that the file as been downloaded in client machine.is it possible to track from server side code. because i want to develop a file download sectionfrom where user at a time can download only single file. so in this case when file download starti will just capture client ip and store it in session and so when user click on another link to download another fileat the same when another file is downloading so in this situation i will check file is downloading from this ip and if yesthen i will reject user request and tell him that sorry already a file is downloading so try after when this download willbe over. when file download will be over then i will clear that session and in this way my purpose will be solved andrestric user to downlolad multiple file.this type of things is used in rapidshare,hotfile etc. so i just implement this
View 3 RepliesIn my JavaScript I'm trying to redirect to third party page. It can open a page either in a new window or inside a frame depends on a user settings. Something like this:
if (newWindow)
{
window.open(url, targer);
}
else
{
theFrame = url;
}
What I want to do is to display my custom page in case a third party site is down or page is unavailable. Basically in case of 404 error.
How would one go about detecting a page refresh / F5 key push on the controller handling the postback? I need to distinguish between the user pressing one of two buttons (e.g., Next, Previous) and when the F5 / page refresh occurs.My scenario is a single wizard page that has different content shown between each invocation of the user pressing the "Next" or "Previous" buttons. The error that I am running into is when the user refreshes the page / presses the F5 key, the browser re-sends the request back to the controller, which is handled as a post-back and the FormCollection type is used to look for the "submitButton" key and obtain its value (e.g., "Next," "Send"). This part was modeled after the post by Dylan Beattie at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/442704/how-do-you-handle-multiple-submit-buttons-in-asp-net-mvc-framework.Maybe I'm trying to bend MVC 2 to where it isn't meant to go but I'd like to stay with the current design in that the underlying database drives the content and order of what is shown. This allows us to add new content into the database without modifying the code the displays the content.

I have some questions regarding the entities framework. Once you create your DataModel, if later you modify it such as removing fields adding tables it is possible for the EF to auto detect changes or you have to refresh it manually? If you have to refresh it.. how do you refresh it to reflect new changes? Also do it affect in any way the data in the database?
View 2 RepliesI've searched high and low for a efficient and reusable way to detect, on a postback/server-side, if any input controls on a form have been changed and I haven't found anything other than client-side solutions such as DirtyUpdatePanelExtender. I've come to the conclusion that it must be either really simple or really complicated.Ultimately what I want to do is to perform a database update, or not, depending on whether or not the user has changed any input controls on the form. The only thing I've come up with so far is to save the original values as Viewstate variables and then compare them with the Request values on a postback, but that seems far from ideal.
View 9 RepliesI have a simple sql server table with around 20 fields in it. I have created an asp.net page which shows the ecords in a gridview & then the selected record in a formview. There may be cases of multiple users editing the same record so i wanted to use the conflict detection in a sqlDataSource to inform users of the conflict. I managed to get this working where i replicated all 20 fields to create the equivalent original_XXX parameter.
BUT i was wondering whether it is possible to show all 20 fields but only use 1 (the date modified field) to check for data conflicts? I have tried to implement this in the following way:
[Code]....
But i've had no luck in getting it working. The conflict detection simply overwrites the changes instead of not allowing the changes and showing the specified error msg (in the onUpdated event). The examples and tutorials i've seen all seem to indicate that each field would need to be compared BUT why can't i simply compare a datetime field which records the last time a record has been updated? Surely, there has to be a better way of resolving the data conflicts than comparing every single field with it's original value?
Nexus One is not currently supported by the Mobile Device Browser File, which leads to the Nexus One being identified as a non mobile device.
I know the user agent, and the capabilities are pretty similar to other Android terminals. With this information, how do I patch the MDBF to have the N1 be recognized as a mobile device?
I am using both the Mobile Device Browser File and a custom .browser file.
In the custom .browser file, there are several ControlAdapters registered. I would like to specify in my custom .browser file to use different ControlAdapters if the detected device is mobile (provided the Mobile Device Browser File lists it as mobile). How do I do that in my custom .browser file? I do not want to modify the Mobile Device Browser File.I am using something like this, but it is not working
<browser refID="Default">
<controlAdapters>
<adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu"[code].....
Since the mobile device browser file is no longer support, what is an alternative to it that requires minimum code changes?
View 2 RepliesI am developing a web based application for a Motorolla Mc 9090, it is a wireless barcode scanner running windows mobile 5.0.
The idea is to centralize the inventory in one database, by scanning items, serials, bins etc.
I have a set of pages each containg forms, where the user will have to scan an item, and automaticall the scanner has a carriege return (ENTER key) the idea was to have the user simply scan, and the page would automatically click the button posting to server for processing and then the server would reply.
For some reason i cannot get the focus() to work as well as the defaultbutton propperty of the form. There is also 1 more problem, the readOnly textboxes look the same as the non readOnly textboxes, even with the backcolor property changed.(guessing this is just MS)

View 2 RepliesI have a weird thing happening. I have two identical databases installed on one virtual machine but under two different instances of SQLServer. For some reason, periodically when saving from one it will save to the other instead. Using debug, I have verified that the connection string is correct and when the item saves, it still saves to the wrong database.I use session variable, and am of the belief that it might have something to do with it...and t hat when I go from one to the other it is still getting the connection string form the other for some reason.To make sure that it isn't a problem, I make sure that I completely close out one database before opening the other in a new IE window.I assume that when I completely close out an internet explorer window that it abandons all session states. Is that true?

View 2 RepliesI have a page with some controls and a next button. When the entered information does not match the database values, an error message is displayed.
After seeing the error message, the user enters correct data and clicks next. The code behind the next button makes the error message empty and invisible and goes
to the next page. On the next page the user clicks the browser's back button. The previous page is displayed with the valid data and the error message showing.
I had expected the error message not to be displayed.
