View 1 RepliesI'm debugging some unexpected behavior and while tracing in to the .NET framework I see a bunch of stuff like this:
if (Logging.On) {
Logging.PrintInfo(Logging.Web, this, SR.GetString(SR.net_log_n_certs_after_filtering, filteredCerts.Count));
...
}
But (as expected by default) the execution steps right over these. Is there some way to turn on the logging? Or is that just something that the framework developers can do while making special builds of the framework?
I was adding login and logout functionality to my ASP.NET website. While I am able to make the user log in by checking the username and password but on some pages should be available only if he is logged in. I am doing this by storing the user's value in a session
Secondly, I am using a Link button which changes to Logged in as example. So, how does the user log out?
I've been working on my personal website as of late, and even thought it's not a big problem because I'm the only one that sees it, it's annoying nonetheless.
Whenever I go to my login page, it all works fine. If I enter a bad username/password, it will just print a simple text message error(intended). But, if I login correctly, then instead of redirecting to the root of my website as I intend, it will instead create a new tab in firefox and from there it will be in / (which is correct). The problem is why does it create a new tab? I didn't even think forms were capable of such a thing:
My full login page is at [URL] The gist of it is:
<form method="post" target="/login">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /> <br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password" /> <br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" />
</form>
And my server side code is also very simple:
if(RouteID=="login"){
if(AuthenticationModule.Login(Form["username"],Form["password"],false)){
//logged in correctly
Response.Redirect("/"); //just go to the root of my site
}else{
Write("You fail at life");
}
}
We are bulding an intranet for our company. Just to do things like log support calls, keep details of customers servers, computers etc.
What i want to do is have a table that will record changes for each page. If we have the servers table, if somebody updates the ipaddress i would like it to log the previous value, the date and time, the user that did it, the new value and what table and field they changed. Is this kind of thing possible? i would imagine i would need some code that would execute on the insert command that would programatically insert the details into the changes table.
I recently inherited an asp.net website made up of multiple .aspx and .ascx pages and being rather new to web development and especailly asp.net. I have the site create a cookie upon login to automatically log users back in if the page times out on them while they're entering information.
I need the site to automatically log users out when the site is closed. Obviously using the me.close event on each page won't work because we don't want it to log people out every time they navigate to a new page in the site.
I've tried setting the timeouts in both IIS and in the files of the website to longer but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
Is there an easy way to automatically log users out when they leave the site but not when they navigate from page to page.
I have enabled Logging in my Default website properties. There are around 10 virtual directories (websites) under my default website. For a particular website I need to enable "URI Query" option in Extended Logging Options. I want IIS to log this only for one particular virtual dir and not for the others.
Is there a way that I can exclusively decide logging options for one virtual dir ?
on my website i am running it locally.
When sometimes i try to login or add items to my cart it says connection interrupted but other times its quick.
I am using IIS 7
e.g. i click add cart and it just keeps loading and states
Connection Interrupted
The document contains no data. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection.
Shopping cart... why most of the online shopping website can add item to cart even without logging in? how did they do that in asp.net?
View 5 RepliesI'm using MS Enterprise Logging Application Block in an ASP.NET website.
For production launch, I will set up a log listener in one of these locations:
Sql Server database
Windows event log
Text files
Which has the least impact on performance?
NB - I can't switch to Log4Net or ELMAH at this point, so don't suggest that in your response.
We use windows authentication. User opens our website in tab1 and does some action but with out clicking on save he opens a new tab tab2 and opens the same website again. Now, if the user session in tab1 is active i need to warn users that the he is already logged on to application in some other browser and go to some log out page. But if the user session in tab1 is timed out then he must be able to continue with the website in tab2 as usual, but if he tries to do anything in tab1 he should go to session expired page.
I tried implementing it in following way.
I have a hidden field in each page which will be set to unique Id using GUID.NewID().
when user requests for a page the following code is executed.

I spent a day trying to make Ent Lib Logging work and log anything into database or event log. I have a web application and console application with the same Ent Lib config but only the console application is capable to log into the Event Log. I tried everything with permissions but I don't know what exactly I am doing — which services should have what. It does not work!
I read articles like this[URL] and I want to try to give the ASPNET account those permissions. I am using Windows 7 and I cannot find ASPNET user account. So where is it?
This is the config file which is automatically generated from Ent Lib utility and it works only on App.config, not on web.config:

I think my subject line explains my problem in a nutshell.. I have a login page, I login like I should and everything works.I logout and when I type/paste the address to the page, in the address field, I still reach it just like if I was still logged in..The page I type in the address field is in a subfolder, only suppose to be able to be reached by logged in users and in this folder,ith it's own web.config-file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>

View 1 RepliesI've to download files from our 38 clients secure websites. They are our data resources. Currently data collection process is manual. Logon to the site, login with username and password, then download files, save to local folder, close window once download is completed. We are trying to automate download process. Plan is to handle login part with code and directly show list of filename to User with check box , so User can select files and click to save.
Rest all will be handled programtically. Once download is complete the status for that file will change to "Saved" or "Download Complete. I'm working on Window 7, VS2008(C# asp.net). Trying to make it work with WebClient class. It'll be great if you can post some source code or guide me to link or post for solution.
Right now, I have all the employees of my company login to an external website using the company id, username and a password. We are trying to integrate it into an intranet portal which should provide seamless access to this website without requiring the user to enter these credentials.
Is there any way of doing this programmatically (.NET C#)? Very similar to screenscraping, Can I simulate the appropriate POST action and then redirect the user to the logged in page?

In a system I am creating, the customer requires all changes to data to be logged to a database table - with only changes being logged (i.e. if they only change 1 value on a form full of 10 fields, it'll only audit that one change). So essentially I need to be able to compare the old values to the new values.
This is of course easy - I've done this before, but it was rather messy - I would manually check each field in the database and compare it to the new one to decide if it should be audited. Is there any easier way, of perhaps automatically getting the changed column name/values? Or do I have to do it my 'messy' way?
Pretty much all of the changes to be logged are done using LINQ to SQL - so perhaps there's a way to compare the database table to the modified one, before calling submit changes?
Has anyone signed up to webspark ? I thought Id check it out, but whenever I try to log onto the site I get this error

I can nevr get access to the site, has anyone else used webspark or had this problem ? If you have used webspark, is it any good ?

And it can cause an error of using to different contexts (DB tables) for one datasource.So what should I do get generated SQL query?

How can I implement this so that the user can be logged in by virtue of clicking a specialized URL link?
