I have two aspx pages that both use the same master page. Master page is more or less the default from VWD 2010 web application (Site.Master).
So both page A and B have the same:
[Code]....
The difference when shown in web browsers is (tested on Chrome and Firefox) that PageB looks like it has one more blank row/space on top of the page. How is this possible?
I have over 300 content pages to create. Each has some standard styling. I would like to generate these pages, and was just wondering if there is a utility in web developer 2008 express to do so (otherwise I will just build one - but it would be great not having to do so!)
View 1 RepliesI have a few pages that are completely static. They only change at build time. But they are expensive to create. For the ones that are kind of expensive to create, I cache them for very long times using the ASP.NET output caching. But for one page, I really want it cached forever and ever or until the the next build.
What is the most expedient way to make this happen? Is there a build in feature that achieves this or a 3rd party tool?
(yeah, for the moment I plan to do the "view source" and copy paste thing, which isn't a very elegant build step)
I have a main master page, say MasterPageMain, and a couple of folders with couple of pages in each folder which act as a child page to that master page - MasterPageMain.
Now, I have about 10 pages in one of the folder which follows a certain pattern and they could really use a nested pages since any change on some parts needs me to change all the pages which is a pain really.
I already added a Nested master page, say NestedMasterPage - which is a child of MasterPageMain
I tried to change one of the page's <%@ Page directive to NestedMasterPage, immediately, there were a lot of errors. plus I dint know where the NestedMasterPage's children content would go.
What do I need to know in order to do this succesfully?
ps: I dint do this initially because I only had 2 pages, and I dint need this at that time, as the project grew, now i see that I should have changed it much earlier..
I'm in a little bit of a bind and have some weird behavior happening with a multiview control behaving differently between two machines, and of course, the production machine is the broken one. The page renders the correct content on both machines, but if I save the html file the production machine's source is wrong.
For example, if for step 1 the output should be just the letter A, and step 2 the output should be just the letter B, and step 3 the output should be the letter C, here is what happens:
Step 1:
Production - The source and output are both the letter A
Dev - the source and output are both the letter A
Step 2:
Production - the source is the letter A and the ouput on the browser is the letter B
Dev - the source and output on the browser are both the letter B
Step 3:
Production - the source is the letter A and the ouput on the browser is the letter C
Dev - the source and output on the browser are both the letter C
Is this some issue with SessionState? I'm very new to Multiviews and by no means an ASP expert.
How can we add titles to each content pages which inherits from mater pages in asp.net?

How to I put this form on my page? The problem is I have a master page which wraps the content pages content in the ASP.net form, I can't nest the forms.
how can i add title and meta tags for content pages in a project base on master and content page(dinamically) ?
i used the blow method for master page :
[code]....
and the error is :(in line *)
Error 17 'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition for 'SetMetaTags' and no extension method 'SetMetaTags' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I'm attempting to set a class on the body tag in my asp.net site which uses a master page and content web forms. I simply want to be able to do this by adding a bodycssclass property (see below) to the content web form page directive.
It works through the solution below but when i attempt to view Default.aspx the Content1 control loses its content.
Here is how I'm doing it. I have a master page with the following content:

My requirement was to share master files among diff projects i read this doc [URL] so i use this technique to share msster pages among my diff projects in a soln but i dnt know how to reference such shared master page as if i use such
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" MasterPageFile="../masterPages/masterInvGen.Master"
Is it possible with ASP.NET Master Pages to create content pages dynamically?That is, I know we can create content dynamically, but the content pages themselves,can those be created programmatically? I want to give my users the ability to define new content pages (i.e. Categories: Sofas, Tables, Lamps, and add/delete as they see fit) through a management panel. The resulting content pages should have proper URL naming, so that they index properly.An example: http://www.example.com/products/Lamps/contentpage.aspx.Is there a demonstration of this somewhere I can view?
View 4 RepliesI'm looking for a good search component to plug in to an ASP.NET MVC 2 website. I've seen a few non-mvc ones before. Our website is comprised of 99% static mvc pages so I need something that will index and search the entire site (and not use database fulltext search).
View 4 RepliesDoes output caching help boost the performance of asp.net mvc pages that just consist of html, css, images, and javascript?
View 1 RepliesI think I might be missing something obvious but I'm not sure. The other day I was trying to run throught the windows live ID domain verification process on my asp.net mvc site. Part of the process requires you to download a text file and put it in the root of your site which your domain points to. When I would click the verify button in the windows live app verification process it would fail. In a browser, I could hit the request the text file and get a 200, which puzzle me. I then used this site http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/ to check for any redirection issues. Suprisingly when I enter in the url to check, in my case http://www.whatitcoststobeme.com/741KXPjf42zgZRnV6O1LsO92.txt, it returns a 500 error. I ran this same test against a non-MVC site and the verificaton process passed plus the redirection checker return a 200 ("direct link" on their site). The environment this was tested in was IIS7.
why this is happening with static content on a ASP.NET MVC site? I want to say it's something to do with the url routing handlers.
so I see these opinions/tutorials about serving static content to support views, from files that co-reside in directories with those views:http://forums.asp.net/p/1258895/2347379.aspx#2347379http://haacked.com/archive/2008/06/25/aspnetmvc-block-view-access.aspxIn the second article, Phil says view-adjacent static content was default-enabled at the time (over a year ago). Unfortunately, though, I reference:
[Code]....
and by default ASP.NET is trying to find it adjacent to my view, which (voila!) is disabled by default. Grr. :)What is the out-of-box IDE-assisted way to reference view-specific static content that doesn't require hardcoding directory tree structures into my path, and also doesn't require ALL of my assets to be in a single folder?Or, if I do it the "unpure" way like I'll probably do if I don't get other ideas (by modifying /Views/Web.Config HttpFileNotFoundHandler), should I block anything unsafe besides .ASCX, .ASPX, and .MASTER that is likely to show up in my views folder?
I had an ASP.NET 1.1 application that I converted to 2.0. I deployed the application under IIS 7 on Windows 2008 Server. I can browse images and static html pages but I can't browse .aspx pages. When I try to run any .aspx page, my browser says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". My application pool is set to .NET framework 2.0 with Integraded in Managed Pipeline mode.

I have checked the post back state and the session works well.
View 4 RepliesI have an HttpModule for handling errors up and running in the visual studio development environment. It works well. To the client, there are hard 404s and no apparent redirects. Google Analytics should be very happy with this.Debugging in Visual Studio 2008, when one navigates to localhost [port]/this page doesnt exist.html, I get a our 404 error page and the hard 404. It also works on the development server for localhost:[port]/this_page_doesnt_exist.aspx.When I port it all over to our IIS7 web server, I've got it working exactly as it should for the static html files. However, I've determined that my module isn't getting called at all for aspx files. If I turn customErrors Off, I get the standard ugly 404 page. (If customErrors is RemoteOnly, these do kick in.)The clues seem to be pointing at some IIS setting that I don't have properly tweaked, but I can't for the life of me find it. Any ideas?

I just did an audit of one of my web application page (built using ASP.Net and running on development server) using Google chrome's developer tool. One particular warning caught my eyes:
Serve static content from a cookieless domain (5)!
Here is my screen shot [URL] as well. I would like to know is it possible to avoid cookies for these kind of requests. I see that there is no cookie requests for javascript files as well. I it possible to avoid cookies in the header for these files as well? and why didn't the browser attach cookies for javascript files and attach for CSS and image?
I have a domain which is receiving quite a few hits per day and have been asked if I can serve the static content from a subdomain. As the site is quite extensive and already written, I was wondering if there is any way I can use URL rewriting to change:
www.example.com/image.gif
to
static.example.com/image.gif
I have a solution which works using 301 redirects but from what I understand, this is counter productive as 2 requests will have to be made per image. I don't really want to go through all the aspx pages and css to hard code the new url as it will cause problems further down the line - some parts of the site are still being developed and static content could change at any time. I tried using rewrite (as opposed to redirect) to change the url but it came out something like:
http://www.example.com/http://static.example.com/image.gif
How would you achieve this? I have full access to dns and the server (win 2008r2 / IIS 7.5) so can make any changes if url rewriting is not the answer.
i declared a static variable in global.asax file like below
<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">

}
i want to access this variable in aspx page. how can i access this variable.
I'm building an HTML5 application (with ASP.NET back-end) and i want to develop it in such a way that i can run it locally with all my resources (such js and css) not minified (so i can debug it easily). However when i build the final version i want merge and minify the resources. At the same time i want to create several versions of the app targeting different platforms (iPhone, iPad, desktop, etc) by adding appropriate css.
I thought that the final output should be a set of html files (so the get cached nicely). I could use ASPX and just control the output by a query string parameter, but i don't really want to have the form tag on my page.
So the questions are:
What are the pros and cons of using static html pages generated from a template versus a dynamic ASPX page? (apart from being able to run on any web server)
If ASPX approach good enough then how can i get rid of the form tag that's required by ASP.NET?
UDPATE
Another factor in favor of static html pages is the fact that the files are served instantly, whereas ASPX may take awhile to load if the app has recycled.
The back-end is ASP.NET 2.0.
I have a page that loads RSS feeds and list them in columns. It works fine with HTTP feeds, but I have a couple of feeds that I follow that are HTTPS. When I try to use the page for the HTTPS feeds, the page shows up blank.
string rssURL = "[URL]";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.XmlResolver = null;
doc.Load(rssURL);
I don't get any errors, just a blank page.
I have a small websolution that needs the user to input a password. I have two input boxes
<input type="password" runat="server" id="m_txtPassword1"/>
If I set some chars to the Value-property of the control like this:
m_txtPassword1.Value="someChars";
The password box is rendered empty. No bullets are shown. If I look into the rendered html-source, also no value-tag has been rendered. If I change the type to
<input type="text" runat="server" id="m_txtPassword1"/>
the chars are shown. Is this by design? How can I disable this feature? I don't want to put a real password into the value-property, I only want to show the user that there is already a password set, and this is IMO done best with some 8 bullets in the input-control. But for this, I need the possibility to set the value-property of the control.
Update
For all, having the same problem: I have tried to declare <asp:textbox id="m_txtPassword1" runat="server" TextMode="Password" /> with the same result. Also m_txtPassword1.Attributes["value"]="someChars" has not helped.
As a workaround, I declared the password-boxes as plain html without the runat="server" and have set the value-property in markup (via two properties from the code-behind). Not nice but I really want to show the user that he has already entered a password.Another workaround would be to set the value through javascript on load.
