VS 2010 - Create Download Link For Windows Forms Application On Website Page
Mar 2, 2011
I want to create a download link for my Windows Forms application. I know you can do that using ClickOnce but I don't want a ClickOnce app so a added a setup project to my application that I just got to work the way I want so now I want to make it downloadable from my website. Should a I a web service or a WCF Service to do this or something else and what else should I do?
This should be pretty simple but I don't work on my website code too often so I thought I would ask about this. I have a download link for an application of mine on my website and I wanted to keep track of how many downloads are taking place so I want to create a counter. I added a table to the SQL database I already have on my website with the columns Downloads and CountID which is listed in the column properties as identity specification. At first I just had the column Downloads but when doing a query I was having problems so I added CountID and that made the query easy to do.
When the link on the download page on my website is clicked I wanted Downloads to increment by 1 each time. I used Visual Web Developer to build my site. Should I use a Web Method to increment that or is there a more direct method. I also noticed when I'm working in Visual Web Developer and I have the designer open for a webpage that in the toolbox items you have table and the icon looks the same as a table for an SQL Database. Should I perhaps use that? Add a table to this webpage and work with that?
I am planning to sell digital goods on my website (Asp.net). After successful payment the customer will be redirected to the download page of my website, which will display the link to download the digital content stored in my server.
I want to secure the location of the file, by creating a disposable link to the file. Every time a customer visits this page a new download link will be generated for the same file. Also this link should expire after it is downloaded for the first time.
Is it possible to do it in asp.net ( C# preferably )? if yes how can i do it?
I watched old videos that suggest to test the asp.net website load using Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool. But there is a broken link to get the download. tool to test website performance?
User's need to "download" an excel sheet with data.
However this sheet need to be created on the fly (user's can check of which data they want exported).
From the user's point of view, it will just be a link "Download Now".
From coding point of view I will have an IList<MyClass> where MyClass say got members like EntryId, FirstName, LastName etc.
I do not want all fields to be dropped into the sheet (so I will need control over that in my code)
This sounds like what I'm after (since I'll always only have one sheet)
Create an HTML document and save it with a .xls extension - Excel will open it and treat it like a native Excel file. This method is very simple and, of course, free - however, it won't allow you to have more than one worksheet in the Excel workbook...
I am writing a web service for a customer. I tested it locally fine using a consumer, but he is having an issue calling it from his jquery, so he asked for logging.I figured I would use the Windows Event Log for this purpose. after I added the event log and was testing it locally via the consumer, I had an error saying The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security. So what I did to solve that was restart Visual Studio with administrator privelege so the event logs could be searched. And I am writing to my event log locally with no other issues.
My question is, when my customer intalls this new version of my web service, will it be able/unable to search the logs and if unable, how can it be given admin privelege so it is able, or again is that a bad idea?
I have a few linkbuttons that each open the save dialog to let users save file to the local machine. But after any link is clicked the page is dead afterwards (nothing works) and page has to be refreshed.
So do I have to force refresh after download is complete or does it have to do something with postback?
i m creating asp.net Mobile website page to download symbian .sis file to mobile ,but its not geting download properly.its working perfectly on desktop.
I had another thread on this problem but I wanted to start this one so no one had to look at the code I posted in the other thread. I have a successful connection but want to display data from the SQL database on my website in my Windows form application. Here's the code I have so far. Used some of the ADONET Tutorial1 here. The table Ray Rover Activation has a number of different columns but to start out I just wanted to see if I could display data for the EmailAddress column.
Code:
[code]....
If I comment out the Sub DoStuff I don't get any errors but neither is anything displayed other than the messagebox message. If I don't comment out DoStuff then I get an error, "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'". Maybe someone could enlighten me some on what I need to do get the data in the column EmailAddress to display.

I thought about hash code, but the problem is: the value will be stored on user browser history (querystring).
how to pass a one-time valid key (a key that is valid for only one use) using querystring?
