WebMatrix :: Image Retrieval From Db Only Getting SystemBytes[]?
Feb 7, 2011
I have been following various guides online and they seem to be great and i learning a great deal and i have my learning set out however i have come across a stumbling block "yet again"
I was following Mikes SQLce image upload guide and I got it, I understood it all "in theory"
[URL]
however what i couldn't figure out is when i want to display that image on a separate page or pull it back into a webgrid it just showed me SystemByte[] and not the image. Or a long string of writing that started -System........
I tried stripping Mikes code thinking well he is pulling the Image from the DB once the postback is done so why cant I do it on another page or in another <Div>. ?
If im not mistake it has somthing to do with this line
What is the best approach to storing images in a file system. Currently I am separating the images by day, month and then year. I am also hashing file name so that no two files will be stored with the same name. Lastly, how would I go about using the image file address in a forum?
I am working my way through image upload tutorial and have a question. Is it possible to preview an image that is being uploaded without using javascript and using only razor and html? If so,
I've found a Webmatrix help article that says MS Webmatrix "publishes the (SQL Server or MySQL) database by creating scripts that run in a database that has been created for you by your hosting provider." That is wonderful, except I can't get it to work when I'm trying to publish a MySQL database (backing wordpress) through FTP (my hosting provider does not support 'web deploy'). Again, no problem, since it is already documented that " FTP protocols cannot be used to publish MySQL database. " But this does not excuse Webmatrix from generating MySQL database install scripts for me. During the publishing step, no database install script is generated - at least that I can tell - and there is no manual option to create a database export / backup / install script.
In short, as Webmatrix goes, I'm dead in the water trying to get my database uploaded to my hosting provider. Does anyone know the trick to force Webmatrix to create the MySQL database install scripts on my local box? Once created, I can take-over the upload and install process.
I'm wondering if it is possible to include Microsoft.Data.Entity.CTP.dll reference to WebMatrix site and if the Compact edition of the database would support it? I'd kinda love use something like
code-first development in my WebMatrix project. I think is even easier than writing SQL-s into the code...
I started the Bakery site demo...everything runs fine on my local machine.When I publish the site to production server in w2k8r2+iis7.5 and with .net 4.0 (integrate) pool, my bakery apps not able to connect to the .sdf file.
Error I got is :
Connection string "bakery" was not found. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Connection string "bakery" was not found.
Source Error:

Line 3:
Line 4: FacebookSocialPlugins.Initialize("[xxx]", "[xxx]","bakery");
I struggle with publishing 2 databases from WebMatrix using WebDeploy. On Publish settings screen I specify 2 different connection strings, but on Publish Compatibility screen Database names in both destination connection strings are equal. When I return to settings screen, original value is replaced there as well.
How destination server connection strings are evaluated? Here are connection strings from the root web.config file, which are set by hidden parameters in my parameters.xml:
If I create two websites using the starter site template logging into one shows me logged into the other.
Here are the steps:
Create starter website called website1 Create starter website called website2 Run both websites in the same browser, firefox Register an account in website1 Log out of website1 Log back into website1 Refresh website2 and it shows my login name from website1 Has anyone else encountered this?
I'm often experiencing that keyboard shortcuts stops working in WebMatrix. This is very annoying as CTRL-S, CTRL-C, CTRL-V, etc. stops working, all of which are heavily used when programming. It's obviously hard to explain how to reproduce this, but I waswondering if someone knows a quick-fix?
There I was, happily coding webpages, when suddenly it wouldn't run them anymore. Now when I click run I get an error message that looks like this: Server Error in '/' Application.This type of page is not served. Description:The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.cshtml' may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /quiz/intro.cshtml Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.1
My hosting company states they support .net and razor. However after uploading my website made with webmatrix and razor *.cshtml pages. When i visit my website all i get is 404.17 error messages. As an testcase i decided to add an standard .aspx page. Visiting that page gives the same 404.17 error message :-( .
According to my webhoster my web.config is wrong. However that one is generated by webmatrix. Besides my *.cshtml *.aspx a lot of files and directories are added to the bin folder. What can i check and what should my hosting provider check. When using the check compatibility the asp.net version is shown as unknown? My hosting provider claims my site is running asp.net 4.0 in integrated mode and that should be enough.
It's unfortunate that Microsoft WebMatrix (beta) doesn't recognize that files has been modified. I suggest you implement a feature similar to Visual Studio, allowing the user to decide what to do if the file has been modified outside WebMatrix. Especially when you have a button to launch the project in Visual Studio, it should have better support for "dual-development", cause at it is now, code can be overwritten by mistake easily.
I got the first beta of WebMatrix, downloaded Drupal, and got a site more or less going. I then tried to move it to two different hosts - first the IIS server running on my own domain controller, then to my hosting service. I dumped the DB with mysqldump, and imported it to the databases running on each server. Then I ftp'd the code and configuration files to both servers, and made appropriate configuration changes (primarily the mysql connect string).On both servers I have the same problem: The site comes up in its home page and looks great, but as soon as I log in as the site admin, I get a 404 (not found) error. Since it looks like virtually everything in Drupal is driven from the database, I really haven't the faintest idea where to start debugging this.
I was looking over the Create a Movie Database Application in 15 Minutes with ASP.NET MVC (C#), and it used entity framework and I saw this code.

I am just wondering, does this mean, this code actually downloads ALL the data from the SQL server for that table, and then filters where the Id matches, and then is stored in the var originalMovie? I have seen the "Linq to SQL", does this send this as sql query to the SQL server, and therefore only the relavent rows are returned from SQL server?
In our organization we had to write code to store and retrive documents in many apps. Now I would like to write a service/library that can be used my other devs. Not sure how to start about that? What should be my first step.
I had a web application. We needed to move it to anotherserver, after we moved that, the membership database (aspnetdb) did not work.....finally i solved the problem, and now I have another problem. although in the web.config enablepasswordretrieval is set to true, and the type is clear, i get error in password retrieval.

I am having all sorts of trouble with webmatrix hanging on me and was wondering if someone could test the following to see if it is isolated to me?
If I create a new empty site and add a single php page to it and then try to type the following line webmatrix will hand as soon as I get to the ? after src="
right now I playing around with WebMatrix and I followed the tutorial from http://www.asp.net/WebMatrix. Chapter 6 (displaying data in a grid) described how to use a WebGrid helper very clear, but the data in the example is always retrieved from an SQL DB.I want to use the same XML file from chapter 7 (Displaying data in a chart).Using the code:
... var DataSet = new DataSet(); dataSet.ReadXmlSchema(Server.MapPath("/App_Data/QCFiler.xsd"));
