C# - Language Choices When Porting A Classic Asp App To .NET
Sep 7, 2010
That out of the way, here's my situation: We are looking to port our existing classic ASP application to .NET, but we're unsure of what language to use for the new app.
I personally would 'prefer' C#, as I'm more familiar and comfortable with that languages way of doing things, but, the original code is VBScript, so it would possibly be easier to port to VB.NET ... One possible situation I fear would be that, because the code is so similar between the two variants of VB, that we might end up getting stuck on something that is not similar between the two, even though it looks like it would work. A shift to a wholly different language might avoid that kind of situation.
Does anyone have any practical examples of this kind of situation? Insights to illuminate the issue with? Do the potential benefits of a complete paradigm shift outweigh the gains from a high degree of 'copy-and-paste-ability' ?

I've been tasked with porting/refactoring a Web Application Platform that we have from ASP.NET to MVC.NET. Ideally I could use all the existing platform's configurations to determine the properties of the site that is presented.Is it RESTful to keep a SiteConfiguration object which contains all of our various page configuration data in the System.Web.Caching.Cache? There are a lot of settings that need to be loaded when the user acceses our site so it's inefficient for each user to have to load the same settings every time they access.

We have a requirement from a client for porting an ASPX website to sharepoint :
Though the site is being served in ASPX there are no form submissions so effectively, they are just static pages without any server side processing required.
However, there is a common header and footer being used.
Here are some of the features being used in the existing site :
sifr for font substitution (using non standard web fonts) flash animations javascript and some jquery common header and footer for all pages
My question is how feasible is it to port this website to sharepoint ? Can i use sifr (or flash for that instance) in sharepoint ? or do i have to port it to silverlight ?
What is the general procedure for converting web applications to sharepoint ? Also i came across this [URL] for migration of website to sharepoint.
Can javascript be used in sharepoint ? How can i have common header and footer in sharepoint documents ?

My employer is changing hosting providers.Our current hosting provider offers MSSQL which we use for the database used on our website. The host we are changing to is insisting that we switch to MySQL because they only offer an older version of MSSQL and are concerned about compatibility issues.I have absolutely no experience working with MySQL and am a novice with MSSQL as well. What is the best way for me to port a database from one to the other?I have downloaded MySQL and Workbench... I've also downloaded the .Net connector as a zip file but am not sure where to extract its contents.

Here is the thing. I have an aspx page with NO master page. I have two resource files with the same name (and specifying the language) in the App_LocalResources folder. If I do something like text="<%$ Resources:lblUser %> works fine. What I do to test it is change the browser's selected language.
But, if I do the same in a MasterPage or in a Page that is inside a MasterPage... when changing the Browser's language and refreshing... I'm still getting the default language...
I've been reading some threads about this but the situation was a little bit different.

I have a combo box that looks great in the designer, the list of choices are perfect. But when I view the ASP code, or the published webpage the choices are seriously garbled. I have tried adding items, but it does not seem to regenerate the code. Any ideas why it happened and what I should do? I do most of my editing through the designer GUI. Note the blank items and even items mixed up together: TVCricket
asp Code:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlFoundOut" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem Selected="True">(Pick how you found out about us)</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Another Store</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Banner at Arena</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>TVCricket</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>West NewsmagazineClear</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Driving By</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Friend/Co-worker</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Internet</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Mall Sign</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Online Phone Book</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Phonebook (paper)</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Radio</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem></asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem></asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Other</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Other Magazine</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Other News Paper</asp:ListItem></asp:DropDownList>

I have a general question regarding usercontrols' parameters. In the built in web controls, such as the 'runat' parameter, when you begin to type 'runat' in Visual Studio, it gives you an Intellisense choice of 'server'. Or in the RequiredFieldValidator controls, the 'Display' parameter has 3 choices: Dynamic, None, and Static.
My question is, how do I incorporate this feature into my custom Usercontrols?
For instance, I created a usercontrol with a parameter called 'BorderColor'. This parameter will change a textbox's border color to the specified value. The possible values are: Blue, Red, Green, Black, Purple, etc. How do I have Intellisense display these choices when the BorderColor parameter is typed in?

I am working on an ASP.net Forms Application that keeps track of information about different offices in an organization. The offices are organized into a hierarchy.
Some users of the program will have access to certain information about all offices in the hierarchy. Some users of the program will have access to only a small part of the hierarchy.
When a user browses for information they are authorized to see, I would like to present the user with a prompt to choose which office in the hierarchy they wish to see information from.
I want to accomplish the following:
A) I want the user to be able to easily navigate the hierarchy of the organization to locate a specific office.
B) I want the user to be able to navigate the hierarchy without refreshing the page.
C) I want my interface to be able to handle a hierarchy at least four layers deep with less than 100 nodes.
I see that Microsoft includes a TreeView control in the standard collection of ASP web controls.

I am searching for a combobox like control but where a tree will be shown in the dropdown(instead of a list) and multiple choices have to be possible.
I have thought of implementing this [URL] in combination with a jquery dropdown button but it will be alot of work to get there.

I'm not expecting a full solution here (unless you really want to), just some tips and pointers.
I have a User table and an Area table. The User table has userID, userName etc., and the Area table has areaID, areaName etc.
I'm binding the list of Areas to a checkboxlist where the user MUST choose between 1-3 options. I'm using a stored procedure to update the DB.
Is there a common solution to this problem that I haven't found?
I have thought about saving it as a comma separated string in a field in the user table. This looks like a temporary and ugly solution though, do you think?
A nicer solution would be to create a UserArea table where I save the ID's as foreign keys from areaID and userID. But I don't know how to write this stored procedure where I update and insert the choices made.

I am using AppCode and have 6 arrays of information I want to display on my web page. However I only want three to be visible at any one time.
________________________________

button button button
i.e. a table like the above.
I have created the layout and the choice buttons etc I am using querystrings to pass the changes to the webpage.
The problem comes however when trying to write the code for the table diplay. Now each has a slightly different layout.
My initial thought was to write a function within the aspx/html page for each table, then in each column of the master table one of the functions can be called to populate it. Each of the functions will contain the HTML tagging for that information. However I dont seem to be able to achieve this as when I try to right a sub or function it doesn't like it. I have also tried to write the functions into the code behing but again this didnt work.

I want to bind a field in a View to a property in a ViewModel. The object is "Program" and has the properties "Name" and "Level". So the user should be able to set the name of a program and the level of experience he/she has with this program.Program is a table in an Sql Server database, and is accessed through Entity Framework. So it would be easy enough to bind the Level property in the ViewModel to a textbox:
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Level)
But I want a dropdownlist with a limited number of levels (1-5). So how do I do this and still have the dropdownlist bind to the ViewModel property?

If I want to be able to have a table Consultant, which is the user and their personal information, and I want this user to be able to select their proficiency in a number of Programs (software) on a scale from 0-5 (zero being no experience whatsoever), how do I do this best?
I mean I could have a Consultant table with a one-to-many relationship to a Program table, and then have all the limited Programs availalbe loaded by an XML file or something, and for each Consultant associate all the Programs and their Levels of proficiency. But that seems very wrong and inefficient.
It seems to me I should have a table with all the (limited number of) Programs, and then by some sort of association between the two by Ids. But I can't get my head around how to do this. I'm thinking many-to-many... But first, is this correct? Secondly, how do I do this in an Entity Framework Model? I usually create my database code first, i.e. create the EF model, and then generate database from model. Will I get a junction table where I can add the Level field, because basically a Consultant HAS A Program with a Level, or actually a list of Programs each with a Level.

I'm creating my first server control, and have it working where I can set up an enum and the user can set a property's choices, based off of that enum. But I'd like it to pull records from a database and populate the list of choices for the property from a database. This would allow me to add a new "Host System" to the database, and the other designers wouldn't have to get a new copy of the dll.

Alright, I am completely baffled by this one. When filling out this page in IE8, it will SOMETIMES clear all entered data (including radio choices) when you select Yes, No, or Not sure (line 892 in the code). This is a postback question, as it should potentially show more questions. This problem does not happen in any other browser, and rarely in IE8. I have no idea what is causing it, the code I am using has been used in similar applications and I can't find any change which results in this behavior.
The full code can be found here: http://pastebin.com/a12cPzyF
