MVC Dynamic Stylesheets - Parse As Separate File When It Doesn't Work
Aug 24, 2010
The project I'm working on allows an end-user to modify CSS code to integrate the application as best possible. Most of the CSS values are stored in a database and need to be retrieved and parsed dynamically. I setup a Style controller, and gave each stylesheet an action, and then passed the configuration data through to the View. I set the ContentType to "text/css" and then generated the stylesheets. This works fine, but the problem I'm running into is this: none of the code works in the application. I include it in the head code, but it doesn't parse in the code. An example of what I do is this:
When I include the CSS code in a partial view and include it using the ViewModel (wrapped in style tags) in an action, then everything works fine. It is when I try to parse this as a separate file when it does not work. Is there something I am doing incorrectly? Or is there some kind of glitch?
I am using some code I found that generates a random password. I am in the habit of putting code in a seperate file. The code was written in the same file and I'm trying to move it to a seperate file and get the following message. Also, below, I posted the original code (code on same page as aspx) and what I did (code in seperate file).what adjustment needs to be made to make the seperate code file work?
Compiler Error Message: BC31143: Method 'Public Function GeneratePassword(length As Integer, numberOfNonAlphanumericCharacters As Integer) As String' does not have a ignature compatible with delegate 'Delegate Sub EventHandler(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)'.
Ive got an ASP:Menu in my page and want to display a background image for each item, and have that background change when the user hovers over, or selects it.
However, the UnselectedTab style applies when the page loads but then the style doesnt change on either select or hover, ...
I've done a search and read a few things, All i'm trying to do is set a variable in the code file and call it in the page file asp.net vb.net 3.5. I've tried like this in the code file:
[Code]....
And in the design part of the page:
[Code]....
But it says that name isn't declaired. What am I doing wrong?
First off, suggest better ways if you want rather than patch up this code. I am just starting this project and it is first time I have tried to code a web site so anything you suggest is very much welcomed. I have spent the last 2 and 1/2 days trying to find workable answers to this but none I have found and tried seem to fit. If needed I can email screens shots or code. I am trying to construct a website that will have the same main theme throughout as far as the header, navbars sitemap, and footer go. Naturally the content will vary from page to page. I want to use a single master page and css stylesheet for this main theme and I will change the content format as needed per page because each page may vary somewhat.
However, about 15 of the pages will all use the same format for their content and this format will differ from the rest of the site but the format of the main theme will stay the same. So I am trying to create a nested master page to use to format the just the content area for all these pages while retaining the main theme for the header, etc.. I believe I should use a separate css file with the nested master page to handle the formatting of the content areas for these 15 pages. I have code that looks like it works when viewed in web developer but design view but does not work when viewd through a browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox). So far I have the following done in web developer.
If it helps the code and screen shots follow. Master Page called "Parent.master". For all theme throughout site Nested Master Page called "Lab.master". For the 15 like pages Primary stylesheet file for main theme called "StylesheetNew.css" For site theme Secondary stylesheet file to syle the 15 like formatted pages. It is called Labmaster.css Labs.apsx file to use as first of the 15 like pages. Finally screens shots from web developer and browser. Sorry try as I might I could not capture screenshots and put them into this post. The problem is that web developer shows all the area (many lines high) with gray background and with the XXX text that I want to allocate for content in the 15 pages. Yet all the browser show is one line of text o a white background followed by the footer. It looks like the LabStyleSheet works in Web Developer but not in a browser.
I've been told by my host that I need to enable FullTrust in my webmatrix website because I keep getting an error. (BUT, I have used a different host, and everything on my site works perfectly with them without modification). Anyway, I used the code my host suppllies in their KB, but that just generates a different error. So I looked up full trust on google and used about 5 different code samples to enable full trust but they all generate errors! even the ones on MSDN. And googling "Full Trust WebMatrix" doesn't really bring anything helpful either.
How can I successfully add full trust to a web.config file that is made using WebMatrix?
I have a input of type file and when i try to do a Request.files when the input is wrapped in an update panel...it always returns an empty httpfilecollection. Why???
This is the codebehind: (At HttpContext.Current.Request.Files...its always 0 for the count.)
I'm generating the rdlc at runtime and I'm using LoadReportDefinition(memorystream) to provide the definition to report viewer. It works fine but when I export it to pdf or excel, the file extension comes in as .xls[1] or .pdf[1].
I have tried giving the DisplayName property but it doesn't work.
I have a form in aASP User Control (.ascx) file. Maxlength does not work for the multiline textboxe hence it is generated as a textarea, which has no support for this attribute. I could maybe use some asp validation, to prevent submission of too much text, but I want to prevent it to be possible to even enter too many characters, just like is possible for single line textboxes... I don't know if the control has any onload event that I could use to add attributes to the textbox from code behind and and combined with javascript fix this or anything..
I'm running .NET Framework v4.0.30319 so the Framework shouldn't be an issue. I'm not using any DLL files or bin directories. How do I setup the IIS/Virtual Directory if I'm using Forms Authentication for the whole website using VS2010?

I need to pass the credential of the logged in user to the DB, which is on a different server, is it that Impersation can only work if the DB is on the same machine as the web server? How can I flow the credential to the the server?
this is an extremely frustrating situation. We have just upgraded to Visual Studio 2010, and very nice it is, except for when it won't do something really simple, like Publish your ASP.NET Web Application to a folder on your desktop.For some unearthly reason, what used to work flawlessly in 2008 is now generating an error: It stops Publishing, after successfully Building, saying:Error: Copying file ImagesProfile32_32.JPG to objx64ReleasePackagePackageTmpImagesProlfile32_32.JPG failed. Could not find file 'ImagesCelebrityProfileImages32_32.JPG'.The problem is that there isn't any reference to that file in the project code (in the database, yes, but not in the code itself), and we don't want to store such images with the project (and they're not).Why (and how) has it suddenly decided that this unreferenced image (and presumably more if I get it to move past this one) is suddenly necessary to run the project? How can I stop this from happening?
I am a new to WCF. I have written ajax to use a web service before, but on this project I am trying to use ajax to WCF.After I build the project and wcf using ajax, I receive the return successfully. But, 10 or more minutes later I don't get a return, the ajax calls the error function, and the fiddler returns nothing.
If I rebuild the project without any source modifying, I receive the return successfully again.
I am using Entity Framework to contact my data base. as part of my web code I am using Linq to entities, and I want to determine the number of elements in an anonymous type list. I can't get it to work, I get the exception: "LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'Int32 Parse(System.String)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression."
var questItem = from chapters in context.TestChapter from questions in context.Question where chapters.ID == int.Parse(Request.QueryString["id"]) where questions.TestChapterID == chapters.ID select questions.ID; int numOfSteps = questItem.Count();
I'm trying to do: I have a webform with a datalist. The datalist shows projects (projectname, image and an imagebutton). When a visitor clicks the imagebutton two events should take place:
- First: data should be send to SQLdatabase (projectID, name of project, sessionID, datetime etc).
- Second: a pop up window must be opened to an existing webpage of the facilitator of the project, using an url which (is in my database).
The problem is my two seperate pieces of code-behind work fine, it's just that they won't work together. Here is my code: The imagebutton:
I'm trying to parse a HTML file to retrieve certain info in my asp.net app. I've looked at the html agility pack but found that also quite difficult. :-) As my HTML should be pretty standard I'm hoping regex is quick and easy. I need a regex that will look through the html file (which I've loaded into a string) and find the below line and take out the DATATOEXTRACT (which will be some sort of text, the name of a recipe in this case) so I can put it into a variable:
I need to parse through the aspx file (from disk, and not the one rendered on the browser) and make a list of all the server side asp.net controls present on the page, and then create an xml file from it. which would be the best way to do it? Also, are there any available libraries for this?
For eg, if my aspx file contains <asp:label ID="lbl1" runat="server" Text="Hi"></asp:label>
my xml file would be <controls> <ID>lbl1</ID> <runat>server</runat> <Text>Hi</Text> </controls>
