C# - Best Place To Hold Credentials Besides DB Or Registry?
Jan 19, 2010
Is there any other place that makes sense to store credentials for third party APIs that you use to make API calls for Facebook, PayPal, etc.? I'm tempted to store sets of credentials (Sandbox, Live), etc. in my web.config and the in a Profile.cs class create a couple methods to go out and populate the profile custom object's properties with the values from my web.config based on an enum that holds the type of Profile account I want to get details for.
So for example I have an enum for PayPal called PayPalProfileType that has value ExpressCheckoutSandbox and ExpressCheckoutLive
In the constructor I'm passing in one of these values then calling a method SetSandboxValues() or SetLiveValues() dependong in what value was passed into my constructor. The SetSandBoxValues for example would set my Profile.cs's properties like ApiUserName, ApiPassword, ApiSignature with the values grabbed from my web.config in a section that has all sandbox values in my web.config.

I'm working on an ASP.NET project for the first time in about three years; in the meantime I've been working with Python/Django, PHP and Obj-C. Anyways, picked it right back up... except something that is totally killing me right now, and I have a feeling it must be staring me in the face:
I'm trying to bind to an LDAP server, for the purpose of authenticating users. The way it works here is, you bind on your own credentials, use that to find the Distinguished Name of the user you're authenticating, then you bind again on their DN and their password. If the bind is successful, the password was correct and the user can be authenticated.
Here's the problem - the first bind (on the fixed credentials, the ones with the ability to search for users and their subtrees) works fine. The search works fine. The second bind fails, no matter what, with the LDAP error INVALID_CREDENTIALS. This happens even when completely valid credentials are supplied.
Here's the code, with the usernames and passwords redacted, of course...

I have an aspx page with a bunch of aspx controls, nothing unusual.
In this page I also have an html select control and a simple input control with type="submit". When I hit submit, the request goes back to the server, where I am trying to get hold of the value of the select control, but how can I do that? I tried looking for it in the Request.Form scope, no luck. My code looks like this:
<div id="divSearch_ctl00_ctl01_CustomContent_BasicCustomContent_RoyaltiesGrid1" style="display:none;">
<span>From</span>
<select> [code]....

I am building a web application using asp.net (c#) and lingtosql. When I perform update operations on my db I update my classes. I use gridview to bind to update information. When I relay solely on the database the page's take very long to load. When I relay solely on the cache, I have old data. What workarounds do I have for have asynchronous cache updating, yet not overload the database with endless requests (I'd like to update the cache only if there has been a change in the database itself, and perform the update operation asynchronously).

I'm trying to create a page that will display a survey that has multiple pages... everything displays fine, but I'm doing something wrong on the timing as my dynamic controls (for the answers) are disappearing when I post back. (so I can't get the answers or perform validation)
1) I have a Repeater control on my page that is populated in Page_Load !IsPosBack that is acting as navigation. It displays each page name, and each Repeater Item contains a LinkButton whose OnCommand event does:
2) There is a second Repeater on the page that is populated with Questions corresponding to the selected Page (from the step above) This is just a DataTable created and then DataBound to the Repeater.
3) The Questions Repeater control has an OnItemCreated event that dynamically generates the proper control for the Answer (TextBox, DropDownList, RadioButtonList, etc...) and places that control in a Placeholder in the Repeater Item.
This all works for displaying, but when I attempt to click a Button, I cannot access the controls generated in step three, and all of those controls disappear from the Repeater.
I have tried creating databinding the Questions repeater in Page_Init as well as dynamically creating the answer controls in a (foreach RepeaterItem...) statement as opposed to OnRepeaterItemDataBound... but now my buttons (located in the FooterTemplate) refuse to post back at all...
added a Test button for postback, but that doesn't work either.

I have a quicktime movie(Size: 1.5 mb Format: .mov) that I would like to play on the site when the site loads.
This movie will melt in with a backgroundpicture so it is important that there is no borders of any possible control that can hold this QuickTime movie to put the movie in the exact place.
I wonder what control that can hold a QuickTime movie like this ?

I have a Library ( DLL ) that has a method with the following:
var masterKey =
Registry.
LocalMachine.
OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dynamics\5.0\");
When running this method in an WinForms applicaiton, masterKey is not null and when running this in asp.net masterKey is null!
I've checked the executing user with WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name and the same user is executing both applications. The asp.net application is executed in visual studio ( debug: F5 ) and so is the WinForms application. I've set the permissions to none what so ever and this gives me "Access Denied". And when I add the group Users I get null. Which would mean that I can fold up the strucutre and see that it's there, but I cannot access the keys/entried.

I have a Dialog (Modal), where I'll register one (or several) contact.
the contact goes to a gridview, where they may be edited or deleted.
the data in the Gridview, can only be saved in the database at the end of the process.
How can I achieve this?
Modal code
[Code]....
OBS.:
I don't have a good sample of CSharp or html code, 'cuz i don't know how to achieve this. All my code look messy atm (trying a lot of things already) My GridView is an ascx, and the modal is in the same ascx. I belive some temporary table, or something like this will help, but i never did something like it (looks like a shop cart software), and i don't even know how look for it.
EDIT:
i did this code:
CSharp code:
[Code]....
i create one temporary gridview, but the data is empty, i tried pull it from my text in the modal, but i was not able to, i'm i'm not familiar in how i'll get the data from gridview to my database. (i believe this is the easier part, then i not focused at it in the moment)

However I'm not seeing center aligned text. What am I doing wrong? Also, will I need to make whatever changes to the JQuery .css files as well? Basically what I'm aiming for here is a single master page that I can use to hold all .css and javascript code so I don't have to reference it everywhere else.

I've been using this programming style, that I've seen in an example and just started using it, because it does the job... I would like to know other programmers' opinion about it...
So the situation is when you have a GridView, or a control based on it like the RadGrid, and you want to keep track of a data table while you are adding, editing, reordering and deleting rows.
Using the session to hold the data table (or list of data) may not be the best solution, because the user may open two identical web pages... Using the ViewState to hold the data may be and option... I have been using an approach like the following:
[code]....
So using a static List variable, of a custom object (class), declared in the code-behind of the Aspx page, and updating it whenever the data is edited.
