Web Forms :: Scheduling Timed Routine In Application_Start?
Aug 19, 2010
I'm looking at automating some reporting that I'm going to be generating. I want the reports to be generated and emailed at a particular time every day. These times will vary, and so will the types of reports.I was wondering if there were any better solution to creating a routine with a timer that executes at a set time every day? If I include this class and routine in the Application_Start of my Global.asax, will it always be running, or is there some awesome EventListener that I'm not aware of?
I have a web form with lots of code behind a button. I want to create a class, put all the code form the button into the class. But how do you call routines in the button from the class?
My webform has 4 fields: Food Rent Utility subTotal
I'm using DynamicPopulateExtender for Food, Rent and Utility to update subTotal whenever there's a value enter.
Question #1: Do I use customScript or ServiceMethod that link to the function below
Protected Function UpdateSubtotal(ByVal nEntry As String) As Integer Dim oldSubTotal = Eval("Subtotal") 'Bind("Subtotal") = oldSubTotal + Eval(nEntry) <--- I know Bind("Subtotal") don't work because Bind is not declared
End Function
Question #2: How do I update Subtotal value on the webform?
in .vb file, in a class i have created a button control, assigned its ID, and other properties.
In code behind file of a aspx page i have created object of that class.Run the page and browser Button control is coming. Now i want to do something in its click event.
But i am confused how to define that one, since presently there is no any button control instantiated.It is getting instantiated at the runtime.So, how to define its click event or any other events ?
I need to find an API for scheduler in SSRS and call it from a ASP .Net Web Page/HTML page, which performs a scheduling operation and calling this API should directly get linked to a SSRS Scheduler.
Hi I have a situation where I want to set the initial visible property of an Image to False and then in my code change it to True and then run a sub routine. My problem is that no matter how I order the code the sub runs before the image becomes visible. When I debug the image only becomes visible when it hits End Sub. Is there any way around this? Here's my code:
I've been using different routes.MapPageRoute registrations that were dependent on the domain (I have multiple pointing to the same web application). I was accomplishing this by determining the domain (or sub-domain) using Context.Request.Url.Host within RegisterRoutest. Of course, this all is kicked off at Application_Start, which worked in IIS6, but now I've moved to IIS7, and Request doesn't seem to be available at Application_Start anymore. Can anyone suggest a way to get the domain at Application_Start, or is this simply not possible with IIS7?
Here's an example of the code I've been using in my Global.asax:
I'm trying to do a number of large queries in the same routine, and have a label in an updatepanel update after each one. I must be doing something wrong, however, because whenever I fire up the routine, my label won't update until the last query is done. Isn't it possible to do UpdatePanel.Update multiple times in the same routine/event? This is the code I'm using:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click lblStatus.Text = "Busy with task 1" UpdatePanel1.Update() LongTask() lblStatus.Text = "Busy doing task 2!" UpdatePanel1.Update() LongTask() lblStatus.Text = "Done!" UpdatePanel1.Update() End Sub
Private Sub LongTask() conn = New SqlConnection(connstring) conn.Open() cmd = New SqlCommand("Select * from very_large_table", conn) cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text reader = cmd.ExecuteReader() End Sub
When the form loads, the lblStatus is emtpy. When I click the button, I see the page loading until it displays 'Done!'. I don't see the other texts. This is the page source:
In my application, there's a module that displays a user's assignments. Sometimes these assignment descriptions are pretty long that's why I display up to 500 characters of the description. However, because I use an HTML editor in the app, if I blindly grab the first 500 characters, there's a good chance the description will look very funky due to missing HTML tags. So, I first need to strip off all the HTML tags, then grab the first 500 characters. Before I re-invent the wheel, I wanted to see if someone else has already tackled this issue and would be kind enough to share his/her code with me.
I have a GridView with Cell 0 containing the ID that I need to pass to a Public Sub.
I cannot figure out how to pick the value from Cell 0 in order to pass it to the Sub. I have tried experimenting (see the Dimmed EventID below) but have failed. Here is my code:
Protected Sub gvAppointmentsCalls_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles gvAppointmentsCalls.RowCommand Dim EventID As String = gvAppointmentsCalls.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Text If e.CommandName = "gvAdd2Outlook" Then Send_iCal_Call(EventID) End If End Sub
If I type the value directly e.g. Send_iCal_Call(123) then it works perfectly.
Public Sub Send_iCal_Call(ByRef Event_ID As Integer) ' My code in here End Sub
I am working on a marketing module. This module will allow the admin to setup marketing plans; emails and sms sending to a list of receipients. The admin will select a specific date and time on which the marketing campaign will execute (i.e send emails and sms to a list of users).
Now the problem is that I have no idea of what I shall use to monitor the server time and how I can run a timer to check the date and check campaigns dates.
In my company app they are doing the following. I do not understand that what initialize does? Do we need to Initialize assemblies before using them? and what kind of assemblies needs to be initialized?
I have created a report (rdlc) in visual studio 2005 web form. However, the client now wants the report to be sent by email at scheduled times. How can i add a scheduler to the report?
I am writing a web application and one of the save routines calls another sub routine as passes two parameters byref. the sub routine gets the data required and assigns it to the passed parameters.
When I look at the results in the main sub the passed parameters are not set, why?
Code: Private Sub GetSiteDefaults(ByRef sCleanerCode As String, ByRef sCheckerCode As String) Dim sqlDASites As SqlDataAdapter Dim sqlDTSites As DataTable Dim sqlDCData As New SqlConnection sqlDCData.ConnectionString = conStringHQ.ConnectionString.ToString sqlDCData.Open()
I´m making a gridview with a sql query where I also do an upload to an FTP address for each column. It works and several files are being send but after 2 minutes I got "the operation has timed out". I have tried setting this in the web.config but it does not solve it:
httpRuntime maxRequestLength="6024000"
What can I possible to? Is the page timing out due to the sql connection or just the webpage request?
May I ask for your idea regarding a scheduling system? I'm in a task of creating a scheduling system for my team and this will include the team leader will assign a shift on 1-15 cut-off schedule and 16-31 cut-off per month. How can I design my database? If you work with this before.
I am working on the prototype for a scheduling application on an intranet system. The application is for scheduling and tracking promotional workers at various locations on various dates.
Currently, only for prototyping, I am generating a data table of location/date, and from this I iteratively build an HTML table (asp:Table control). On visiting each cell, I query for people working that location-date and populate the cell accordingly. This is very inefficient, and will at worst be improved by querying cached data for the whole location/date grid.
I'm looking around for established patterns and techniques for dealing with scenarios like this in HTML in general, maybe a visualization library for jQuery or something, and for ASP.NET in particular, maybe a library for implementation on a GridView etc.
i want to create a registration form, which contain free and paid option if user registered through free then after3 days ne/she will get a msg regarding registration... So i follow the steps of this site...........but i culd not understand the code , where we define 3 days limitation ...
As part of the web application I am working on there will be functionality to export data from the web application into a windows application copying the data between the database for the web application and the windows application. The databases for these two programs could have been combined but are being kept apart for simplicity.The utility to export the data can be triggered manually from the web application but it is also required that this task can be scheduled to run by the user (once a day, on web app shutdown etc)
I envisage this to be run as a service - I have created services for windows applications before but this is the first time I have needed to create this for a web application. Searching on goggle, I have found an msdn magazine article that suggests creating a web service and then creating a windows service which would call into this web service. So in my situation, I am thinking that I would create a web service which would contain the data transfer functionality between the web application and the windows application. Then I would create a windows service which would be installed as part of installing the web application, which would then call into the web service (at pre-defined intervals) using settings configured by the user within the web application (so that the data transfer functionality can be scheduled).Does this seem the correct solution? I would appreciate any advice on how I might achieve the above.
I'm looking for a control I can use in an ASP.NET app for scheduling work shifts. My primary requirement is to have locations on a y-axis, dates on the x-axis, and then at each intersection, have a block divided into shifts, and each shift containing a short (1-3) list of employees working that shift.
I am using a adapted version ofhttp://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/45/Programmatically-accessing-data-from-DataSource-controlsDon't we need something like a closing-routine / close connection command after getting data from the database?If yes: What is the correct closing command?
