Using A C# Handler To Serve Up Wav Files Cuts Audio Short (only A Couple Of Seconds)?
Nov 22, 2010
I've got a c# handler that serves up audio files I've generated using text-to-speech. When the files are written to disk they sound fine, but when I try and play them in a browser (via the handler) using a quicktime plugin it cuts them short at about 2 seconds.
Inside the handler I'm using the following code...
For our application we provide users with file downloads that utilize handlers to serve the files. Currently, the way it is served to the user is through window.location. When using this, at times, it causes issues under IE8. When an error occurs, it cannot be caught under the page that called it.
A) Is there a way to serve an ashx file handler to the user where the page that called it can catch any exceptions made from thje handler B) What is the correct way to serve the handler, eg. window.open, window.location, etc. Would return false at the end of the javascript solve this? Are there any other ways
Are there any free products or ninja methods to merge PDFs in a commercial application and serve as one PDF for the end user? I see iTextSharp does this, but we cannot comply with the GPL license and I was looking for a free method before a paid method.
I have an audio gallery in which i want to give play option to user. I find embed code of html but it just play a file in background i want to give user a control to play or stop as it is available in mediaplayer or any other player. How can i do this?
I want to play video / audio files on asp .net page.
client has following requirements
1) It can play all the popular formats
2) It can use installed player (if windows media player or any other) or it can run inside browser (i.e. Flash player)
I have already explored different options i.e. silverlight, Windows media services & flash player Among these three silverlight is discarded as there very few browsers having that plug in.
I want to embed video/audio files using Object tag, the above code works fine in IE with controller but in firefox it plays the video but controller doesn't shop up?
does any one have html code snippet which works in all browsers for all audio/ video mime types?
For a church website I'm managing, there is a need to place audio files (sermons) on the website. There will be two categories of audio files; one will be a sample size of the audio file, around 5 minutes in length. The other will be the full-length of the sermon (30-50 +/- minutes).
I have decided the best setup would be to place the audio files on the server. I would then store the audio information, as well as the path to the audio file, in a database. I had thought about placing the audio files in the database as a BLOB, but it seemed inefficient. My concern, is with tools like Mozillza plug-in "Download Helper" , it is so easy to simply grab the media files off the server. This would not be a big deal, except we want to sell the full-length audio files. I am running ASP.NET 3.5 on IIS 7.

I am working on an ASP.NET Web application and I want it to have audio playback functionality. I can do is using directories. For example, using the ASP.NET Audio control like :- , is pretty easy and straight-forward and works accordingly. But, the trouble comes when I'm using a database and the control. I am totally new to data binding in ASP.NET. I don't like using JavaScript, but i am comfortable using it, but I would prefer C# solution (I know beggars can't be choosers).
I have a database containing only one table called tblAudio. This table has two fields only for the title of the audio file (type NVARCHAR(MAX)) and the field for the actual audio (type VAR BINARY(MAX)). I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional with SQL Server Express Edition. The table has a single record with the relevant data in their fields.
I have secured some files on my webserver by putting them into the App_Data folder in the root (I do not have the option to secure folders using the ASAPI filter)The user gets access to these files by requesting them through a handler, fx. by requesting ~/Handler.ashx?file=App_Data/MySubFolder/MyFile.jpgNow, I want to make all the content in a specific folder called "Members" (a single subdirectory of the App_Data folder) available only by passing a specific password. That is by requesting ~/Handler.ashx?file=App_Data/MySubFolder/MyFile.jpg&password=xxxxIn my Handler.ashx I have written some logic seeking if InStr(context.Request.QueryString("file"), "Members") = 0 before sending the file.If inStr <> 0 a password is required.Is this a good way to secure a folder in and its content? Is there a way of getting access anyway, like using some kind of "sub-directory" line in the path (the same way as you can request parent directory by using "../../Myfile.jpg)? I know there will be a problem if someone fx. legitimately tries to access the file App_Data/Members.jpg
above method to save and retreve files from sql server database. I have uploaded around 50-60 images as jpg. But it taking so much time to get display online. but it's working faster when accessing from local database.
There's the page where images are displaying [URL]....
Is the speed for images retreiving from sql database is slower as compared to retrieving images from folder..?

When I have a HttpHandler class in C#/ASP.NET mapped to a file extension in IIS any file with that extension fails to download/display in web browsers (it's downloaded as a 0-byte file in some browsers and nothing at all in other browsers). After removing the application mapping for the HttpHandler in IIS so it doesn't call the IHttpHandler class in C#, the web browser downloads the file successfully.
This was tested with an IHttpHandler class in C# that has an empty ProcessRequest method.
I am building a search where I need to implement couple of features in it among others.
1- It should bring all synonyms, like if someone searches for couch, it should bring in matching results for that couch plus linguistic matches like (sofas, cushions etc). To accomplish that I am using Full Text Search. In my query I use FreeText but it does not yield the required results. That's what I do,
select * from Furn_Products Where FreeText(FurnName, 'Couch');
It should bring Names containing Cushions, Sofa and Couch off course but it only brings Names with Couch which I could also do by simple Like query. 2- I need to check for typos, like if someone types soofa, it should bring in results for sofa, couch etc.
I'm using VS 2008, .net 3.5 and C#. I'm using Ajax Modal popup to dispaly a panel that has HTML file upload control when user clicks on the update button in the gridview control. The prolems that I'm having:
1. After i click the upload button in the popup, everything is processed but then the popup would close itself. I would like it to stay there with the proper message displayed and only close when the user clicks on the cancel button.
2. When I click on the Upload File button, a Page_Load event is raised to the page, CtuMain.aspx.cs, but this is before the popup code upload the file. I would like to enable or dis-able my gridview's editWorkingDoc and btnUpdate buttons based on if the file upload is successful or not. I thought a Page_Load event to the CtuMain.aspx.cs is supposed to be raised when the popup closes but that is not happening. How can I fix this?
I have been learning ASP.NET my self and is about to dive into the nitty gritty by creating a club website for a club.
It will be basically pretty simple. It will have around 4-6 pages consisting of:
1. Homepage/News
2. Gallery
3. About
4. Contact
5. Calendar for events
My question is should I use MVC to develop such website? As I am totally a noob in MVC development, but if it is better then I would need to learn MVC first, otherwise I'll just do it the standard way.What should I use for the calendar of events?
