C# - Serializing Request.Form To A Dictionary Or Something?
Jan 7, 2011
i need to pass my Request.Form as a parameter, but first i have to add some key/value pairs to it. I get the exception that the Collection is readonly.
I'm using HttpModule to capture requests to the web server. Before processing the page I'd like to check the values contained in some keys of the Request.Form collection and according to some logic change if necessary. I'd like to do this when BeginRequest event is fired. The problem is that the Request.Form collection is readonly.
Simple question. I have an mvc controller that has method:
[code]....
The form is a non-trivial form with a simple textbox.
Question - how on earth do I access the parameter values? I am not posting from a View, the post is coming externally. I'm assuming there is a collection of key/value pairs I have access to. I tried Request.Params.Get("simpleTextBox"); but it returns error "Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.".
when i browse the page with firefox and click on the input Request.Params["btnshoppingCart"] != null or Request.Form["btnshoppingCart"] != null is statisfied.
When i browse the same page with internet explorer 8 and click on the same input Request.Params["btnshoppingCart"] != null or Request.Form["btnshoppingCart"] != null is not satisfied. When i used the watch i saw that there is no key by the name of "btnshoppingCart" in either Request.Form or Request.Params if input is clicked from internet explorer. However when it is clicked from firefox there is value "shoppingCart" inside Request.Form and Request.Params against "btnshoppingCart" key. One more strange thing that i observed was that are two keys "btnshoppingCart.x" and "btnshoppingCart.y" inside both Request.Form and Request.Params whenver clicking is done from both internet explorer and firefox. This is happening against all inputs of type image irrespective if the input is present inside a html form or not. Forms are created like this
<% using (Html.BeginForm("Action", "Controller", FormMethod.Post)){%>
The version of internet explorer is 8.0 and firefox is 3.6.6
I am creating a Payment request form that my customers are going to fill out and submit so they get paid I would classifi it as an invoice. Does any one have any examples or point me to a good place to read about creating this type of form and the database tables to support the application?
The form will basically have some fields they will fill in for the header then in the related stuf come charge amounts with there types aka partnumbers of sorts and also the ablity to put in there own types / aka partnumbers and there amounts. I wont be housing any amounts they will supply all the information of payment amounts and types.
I know there is a couple answered questions on here regarding "request scoped" globals, but I want to nit-pick on something specifically and maybe squeeze some extra enlightenment out of one or two of you.I have an ASP.NET C# Website and a static Dictionary of objects (loaded from DB once on Application start). Each page request will need to do a lookup in the Dictionary (based on a key derived from the request url/etc) and get the appropriate object.The issue is I'm trying to maximize efficiency by reducing the lookups to the Dictionary per Request. Doing just a single lookup within a Page itself is easy enough and I can pass the object to sub controls, etc too.. but global.asax is separate from the Page and it also needs to use the object (in Application_BeginRequest and Session_Start).
So is doing a Dictionary lookup once in Application_BeginRequest, once (when necessary) in Session_Start and once in the Page negligible speed wise, even if there are many requests coming in every second?I would like it if I could just have a Request scoped global variable that I can easily call upon.. the only one I see available though is HttpContext.Current.Items and that is a Dictionary itself.Am I beingridiculously nit-picky with my concern over efficiency? or will these milliseconds (nanoseconds?) get me in the long run when more and more requests are being made?
PS. I currently only have around 100 objects in the Dictionary although this may increase in the future.
I have a class that maintains a static dictionary of cached lookup results from my domain controller - users' given names and e-mails.My code looks something like:
private static Dictionary<string, string> emailCache = new Dictionary<string, string>(); protected string GetUserEmail(string accountName) { if (emailCache.ContainsKey(accountName)) { return(emailCache[accountName]); } lock(/* something */) { if (emailCache.ContainsKey(accountName)) [code]...
On a windows 2008 web server, I get the following error whenever posting a form containing html tags in textboxes:
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (widget$txtText="
This is a common error and you fix it by either doing Page ValidateRequest = false or in the web.config with pages validaterequest = false. However, on this specific server, it completely ignores the validaterequest = false and throws this exception anyway. Has anyone seen this behavior before and know what else I can do to prevent this error? I've seen it in 2 web apps now on the same server, it's really weird.
I am building a DropDownList control dynamically. Constraining this discussion to within just the OnInit() method / state in the asp.net lifecycle, is the only way to see the dropdownlist's posted value to look at the Request.Form NameValueCollection? I m aware that the dropdownlist's viewstate is restored by the time OnLoad() is reached, but I need it's value before then (im pretty sure LoadViewState($object) is of no use?)
I have checkboxes that I have created using Literal now on postback I get the checkboxes which are checked in the Request.form.Allkeys. However I don't know how to read those values how can I use them? how can I count how many values are in there and how can I find some values in there example I want to find if the request.forum.allkey contain forumaName0 ..
Im dynamically generating an HTML Select Box, lets call it myselect. Im creating this select box based on some database values Im generating an HTML Select Box.. almost like a string that Im just spitting out to the page. So it's never a control in the codebehind, just part of a string thats rendered as HTML by the browser. If I submit my form, and in my codebehind I perform:
Dim myVal as String = Request.Form("myselect")
That code will give me the VALUE of the myselect select box. How can I refer to this control to cast it as a System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlSelect control? Request.Form seems to give me the value, but I want to reference the object itself..
I have a news list and when I click on every each news, it navigates to another page where I can see news details. What I need is I want to request every news title in news details page and show it in <title> section in <head> as the pages title. It means the <title> tag in news-details page must be dynamic and will change depending on every news articles title. But I don't know how to do this because the only parameter that will be sending from news-list page to news-details page is news-id and not news title.
I have some code which is rendering some custom attributes of Hidden Control (without runat=server).
Something like,
And I have a lot of these hidden elements on my form.
When I submit the form, I am looping through a set of ids, say 1200 to 1250, so I will read controls based on that, and also hidden with Request.Form["hdn "]
Now problem is, as we know we get value attribute from form when we do Request.Form["id"] for hidden, I want to read my custom attributes from hidden element. Is there any way? Note that, I can not touch the rendering part here.
I'd like the user to specify a RSS feed address and serialize the information from it. I am not interested in the XML format, but populate a strongly typed object from the XML. My question is, is there a standard that all RSS feeds support (Do all of them have date, title etc)? If so, is there a XSD that describes this.If not, how do I handle serializing a RSS feed to an object in ASP.NET?
EDIT: The SyndicationFeed's Items have the following properties:
Title.Text -> Gives us the title Summary.Text -> Gives the Summary
Q1 - The Summary includes the html tags. Is there a way to strip them? I am interested only in the text Q2 - Do all RSS feeds have full content in the Summary element? I see that some RSS feeds have only a few lines for Summary while others have the entire content of the post.
I have a few friends that I swap videos with and I am to design a meeting request form. The form should allow me to enter the contact details, the details of these friends I am swapping with and a suggested date and time to meet for the exchange. How do I go about this code.
