I have a short snippet of C# code like this:
HtmlGenericControl titleH3 = new HtmlGenericControl("h3");
titleH3.Attributes.Add("class", "accordion");
HtmlAnchor titleAnchor = new HtmlAnchor();
titleAnchor.HRef = "#";
titleAnchor.InnerText = "Foo Bar";
titleH3.Controls.Add(titleAnchor);
What I want is a way to return a string that looks like this:
<h3 class="accordion"><a href="#">Foo Bar</a></h3>
I have a hidden input on my form, and my JavaScript code writes there dynamically generated string based on the user behavior on the page.Later, I access to that inpput via server side code.Many users will be using this page at the same time, so what about thread safety ?I mean, could it be possible that userA has an access to that string generated by userB ? Or maybe server will read that string from each user's Web Browser ?
View 2 RepliesI have a textarea HtmlControl. If I write a paragraph in it, press enter and write another paragraph I can see on the page that I have two paragraphs. But when I submit the form and then try to access the paragraphs using myTextArea.InnerHtml the value that I get is of all the text in one paragraph with out any formatting.
How do I get the text out formatted in html <p> tags?
I have a simple ASP.NET page that uses the VLC media player to play a video in IE. I also have four buttons to control the playback:
Play, Pause, Stop, and Mute
The four buttons call JavaScript functions that access the ActiveX control. When I click on any of the buttons, I get the following error in the JavaScript function:
"Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'vlc' is undefined".
However, if move the object tag for the vlc player outside the form tag, then the JavaScript works correctly, and I can control the video playback.
My question is why must the object tag be outside the form tag for this code to work correctly?

The only problem is, it needs a scheduled task to run once a day to do some data mining. I spent many, many hours a few months ago researching solutions, but nothing seemed sure-fire.
If I have shared hosting and cannot remote in (e.g. mstsc and create a Schedule Task), how can I create a task that will run once a day on the backend of an ASP.NET website?
After all the research I did, I don't think it's possible. Per my last analysis, someone has to visit the site at least once a day to instantiate an instance of HttpApplication.
Does anyone have any solution to making sure an operation runs automatically, no matter whether anyone visits the site, and without anything but FTP access to the website?
Like I said, I've done A LOT of looking into this in the past, and it didn't seem possible. IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE implementing a solution, contribute your advice! But not postulating or conjecturing needed--it's far more nuanced and difficult than you're surely imagining.
I think I already know the answer to this but I think you know more than me so best to ask :)I've got a basic .Net 3.5 site using C#, with no database backend.I've had a request for a function to be added to some forms for people to be able to save the forms and come back later to finish them off.Is this possible?I would think not without a database backend to save it too,

I'm constructing a new cms with the option to create reviews and articles (blog items). Now if the user wants to write a review he/ she will want to add a lot of images in the text. Now my question to you is , what would be the best option to include those images (with keeping in mind that a CDN can be used later). I was thinking of the following methods:
Break an article in multiple blocks, each block can then include a picture and text. Just add the picture in the text via WYSIWYG editor (easiest option but not so versatile) Upload images separately and include them via tags in article text. Like Title{img_1}Content
I want to start creating sites with simple backends! I don't know much about databases though and I don't want to jump straight into creating sites with databases anyway. So I want to find out what the best way of creating a simple backend without using a database is.
I have an asp.net webpage which is a prices page detailing the prices of services at a hair salon. The prices change every 6 months so I want to give the client a simple backend so he can update the prices himself. The backend will just be a table of inputs populated with the current prices which can be changed and then click 'save changes' to update the site.
Now what is the best way of implementing this?
A) In the prices page, hard code an html table, within each cell code a <span> tag with an id for the price that will go within the span tag like id="menscut" and within the span tag hard code the price of the service. Then wirte a C# class called 'edit' that is used when the 'save changes' button is clicked on the backend page. When 'save changes' is clicked the 'edit' class parses the prices.aspx page and finds <span id="menscut">£20</span> and then changes it to <span id="menscut">£22</span> (or what ever new price has been entered in the backend) and then saves the new edited prices.aspx page over the old one on the server.
or
B) Don't hard code prices into the prices.aspx but instead store the prices in a seperate .txt or .xml file. Every time the prices.aspx page loads it runs a class called 'populate' which extracts the prices from the .txt file or .xml file and inserts them into the table in the prices.aspx page. And now the edit class instead of editing the prices.aspx page it edits the .txt or .xml file.
So which of those ways is better, or if they are fairly even pegged what are the pros and cons of each?
Or are there any other options I haven't thought of?
A friend suggested instead of having a backend class which verifies the user permission in every public function (results are cached and non static) i should have a more 'streamlined' site. When i dropped the backend i also drop the database code and merged them in the appropriate user permission (base user, logged_in_user, moderator).
The site code looks better now that merging them has decreased LOC (tons of LOC in fact) and i write Method() instead of backend.Method() which increases readability. However now that i have no backend how am i suppose to unit test my code? and what about things like user file upload with different extensions? (txt vs jpg vs FLAC)
experienced pros on the best way of doing something.First let me give you the broad view of everything.I have a main site (http://www.ffinfo.com/) which is built completely in ASP.Net using C# 4 and has a SQL 2008 backend and then I have an CMS I am custom building to administer the site.At some point I hope to have more people playing the Final Fantasy games and helping me collect data to add to the site so I am using the CMS to both add/modify data in the SQL DB and genereate new pages on the main site as needed.I want to compile the main site so it runs faster as my server has limited resorces and after a reboot or upload of new pages it takes a little bit for the first visit to run.Now here is the problem.
When I use the CMS to make a new page I currently copy over a .asp and .aspx file from a template into the appropreate folder and am good but if I want to compile that page along with any other new pages made I have to scower my FTP for them, download to the local machine,build and publish.This will very quickly become a lot of work,not to mention I can not really take advantage of OOP.
So my question is this, how do I go about doing this better? Have I taken the wrong approce from the start and need to find another road or is the road I am ok I just need to improve my transportation?
I'm trying to make a client-server app using SOAP. The communication btw the client and gateway will be done using SOAP messging. I was wondering if it's possible for the gateway to communicate with my backend servers using SOAP as well(blue lines)? will I need to create a second interface/port for the gateway and servers so they can communicate. or is there an easier way to do it bust still using SOAP
View 2 RepliesI have a search page which generates a GridView of results based on the search terms entered by the user. One of the columns in GridView is called a DOI (Document Object Itentifier). This DOI is used to find academic papers through [URL] when a user enters a DOI string. What I would like to do is redirect the user to the relevant webpage when they have selected the DOI in the GridView, however, the url for this page is always different. In the page, I have formatted the form tag like so: [URL] and in my GridView, I have formatted the row that I wish to have hyperlinked like so:
<asp:ButtonField DataTextField="DOI" HeaderText="DOI" CommandName="d"/>
Then, in my C# codebehind, I have the following event which aims to redirect the user to the required page, based on the tag they have selected:
switch (e.CommandName)
{
case "d":
searchResult.Attributes.Add("onchange", "window.open [URL]
break;
}
I don't think this code above makes any difference though as the form tag is already specifying the redirected url, nor do I think this task can be done with a html <table> object, as it only accepts static data, rather than a result set generated from a database, which is what I'm doing. I have also looked at the following post as a guide to this type of problem but, taking account of what it said didn't allow me to solve this problem completely. GridView with DDL and selected value
Idealy i would like to get a web-page that looks like the popup-windows that you get in Visual Studio when you click an object while debugging. So if the object contains any arrays, i'd also like to see what's in them, and for all those objects inside i would also like to be able to go deeper into those objects.
The reason i'm asking this, is that I can't debug my code locally (because it uses a web-service that will only run on the production), and I can't install Visual Studio on the production server, So i need to be able to actually debug on the production server. I can write my code locally though, and upload it to the production.

View 1 RepliesI am a .NET / C# back end guy. I am working on a app that will have about 200 different data entry screens. For me exposing DTO as a collection for CRUD (IUpdatable and IQueryable) is the easy part, I can do it in my sleep :-). What I am trying to decide is what type of front end technology will allow me to develop these data entry screens fast. They don't have to be fancy but they are not just plain grid either and on average they have about 15 form fields and some client side data validation (no db look up) Options I am looking at are
Use ExtJS on the front and REST / JSON on the back. ASP.NET RIA but I do not know SL (Well XAML) Plain ASP.NET / MVC One idea I had was the DTO will contain the meta data about the form (As Attributes) and the form can be dynamically generated, but I do not want to reinvent the wheel if there is an easier way. I have looked at RAD software but all of them look at the DB and generate screens. I'd rather want something that can look at my DTO and generate screens.
