Precedence Of Settings Such As Viewstate At Different Levels?
Feb 4, 2010
In ASP.NET, what is the order of precedence with setting viewstate and similar properties? These can be set at web.config, page level and also at the control. If I turn it off at both web.config (global), page level, but on at the control level, for example, what is the result?
Some settings in asp.net like viewstate can be controlled at the site (web.config), page, or control levels. What is the order of precedence? What happens, for example, if I set viewstate of site and page levels but on at the control level?
Also, is viewstate for a control the same as control state? Furthermore, what events to use for loading and saving viewstate for controls (is this the same thing as control state?) and also for custom controls?
Similarly, which events should I use to render controls? Is this PreInit and Load? Is this the same for custom controls?
I am attempting to use the MapPageRoute feature in Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 with a asp.net webforms application.
What I have noticed is that if I define a page route called "Default" like below and the page Default.aspx exists in the project, then the route does not work.
If I change the name of the Default.aspx in the project to Default_1.aspx, then the route works fine.
There seems to be some order of precedence going on. Is there a way to make my route definitions evaluated first so I don't have to rename my pages to use the routing engine?
I need to set file extension precedence. I want the browser to show default.html before default.aspx. Is there a way to set this up in a web.config file?
I am having the doubt in string manipulation. I am having the following string value string input="(Grade=A && Standard='12')||(City='ABC' || Region='India')&& (Name=='John')"; I would like to do the precedence condtion so that i want to split the above string in the followung form to identify the precedence group.
We have many different clients, and each client can have multiple user accounts.Right now, we have user settings set up on the ASP project, and a WinForms application can see these settings, depending on which user logs into the winforms application. They are specific to the user. I want to make them specific to the client, so users can be in "groups" by their client, and all users in the group would see/update the same settings.
Now here is the weird thing. First i am running it locally on the built in vs2008 web server.I load my control in fine, do a postback from a linkbutton, locally on my machine it all works fine, no issue.However when it goes onto my host, it falls over with the message:
Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request.Now i also load controls dynamically and use postbacks and things in the admin area of the site...and that works fine, however my front end just keeps failing? See the code behing below:
have a .net website that i have been developing where the majority of pages are accessible to anybody but a few pages are restricted to members. This have been done thru the .net membership provider.This all works fine but what im trying to do now is run a closed beta test.So i want to put the application online but require any visitors to the site to have to go thru an initial beta login screen that has one common username and password for all users. Once past that login the site needs to function like it would if that login step had not occurred. That is, users would have to signup or use their own personal logins to access the pages restricted to members
I have been getting this error a lot lately with some of my users, and I had a couple of concerns with view state and I have read so many articles but I am still lost..
1. I use masterpage on all the pages and I need viewstate for some of the pages but..
There is a page where a user will fill out the information and then submit this data to a cgi server, and it is where I get most of the Client Disconnected errors, what would happen if I disable viewstate when they click on that button?
Now when a user browses from one page to another, does the view state from the previous page get deleted? If not how would I delete it?
Does the master page have its own viewstate? Would I be able to make sure none of items on my master page are using the viewstate?
I have a shopping cart page (Cart.aspx) that has a button that will (sometimes) post to a third party payment gateway, if payment is necessary. The payment gateway will process the payment and then do a silent post to my website (Order.aspx) so I can update the order status.
Order.aspx always throws an invalid viewstate error, even though viewstate is disabled on the page.
What's happening is that Cart.aspx (which has viewstate enabled) posts to the payment gateway, and the gateway will post it back as part of the silent post. Even though Order.aspx has viewstate disabled and validation disabled, it still tries to validate the __viewstate field it's being given.
I know setting EnableViewState=false will disable the rendering of the __viewstate field, but if another page provides the field, shouldn't it still skip validation? I tried calling ViewState.Clear() on the Page_Init event of Order.aspx, but ViewState is apparently empty. how to get around this? I don't want to disable ViewState on Cart.aspx (in some cases it may be necessary), but I can't figure out how to clear it on Order.aspx.
I have two levels of authentications in ASP.NET application.I have a [Code].... user that have full access to all the websites and [Code]....user that have limited access.I want to destroy all open sessions before do any new login, no matter who will do the login.Where should I place my code to destroy all open sessions before I do any new login?
I am trying to create a menu with multiple sub levels

The values of these menus and the urls are populated from the database. Currently I am using a TreeView to achieve this functionality but looks like treeview has lots of overheads.Could you please help me to construct the same functionlity using the accordian and repeater control
I need to design a system that will control access to certain information. The requirement from the user is to use access levels e.g.
Level 1 - Support Level 2 - Manager Level 3 - Senior Manager Level 4 - Department Head etc.
If a certain piece of information is marked as Level 1, then all roles should be able to view that piece of information. If it is marked as level 3, then only the Senior Manager and Department Head can view it, but the Manager and Support roles can't view it.
Questions
When I assign the access level to a piece of information, will I have to assign multiple roles to it in order for me to achieve this functionality? Is there a better way of doing this?
I am building a subscription based web site, which currently has three subscription levels, i.e. Horses, Soccer, and Horses and Soccer. I was thinking of implementing standard role based authorization, where a Horses subscriber would get roles including those to use the Horses section, etc.
Should I use a standard role provider, and when a member subscribes to the site, assign roles for his subscription to him, or use a hierarchical role provider, that when asked for the roles for a member, only then uses the member's subscription level to 'calculate' a set of roles for the member.
i want design of page like this. At the top of page is first level of menu - Main Categories. On the right site of the page is submenu (level 2). Can i achieve this with bult-in component like Menu control and sitemap file? I want to try create menu this way.
I'm creating a navigation menu. I've to render repeater control ul-li tags and menuitems can range upto N levels. I need to add a child repeater control dymnamically to parent control?
EDIT: Example - ul-li can goto n levels <ul> <li> <ul> <li> <ul> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> </li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> </li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul>
I have four categories, which I would like to show up in my breadcrumbs:
ex:
Home > Poems TOC > MyPoem
Home > Songs TOC > MySong
can I structure the xml in the Web.sitemap doc, so that even if the files are in the same directory, they will dispaly as above. (the TOC entries are table of content pages, which call the actual content pages)
