View 1 Repliesam working on website in asp.net mvc. There is form where user is asked to put some information along with the Tags similar to stackoverflow. this tags information is saved in the same table in field Tags.Now I want to show them a help to select tags from the list (same as in stackoverflow).how can i extract it from the table. Wont it be too much to run the query again and againfor each letter they type, because I will be extracting unique tags from my table. Or should i have another table tagslookup where i should save unique tags.
View 1 RepliesI am aware Stackoverflow isn't open source, but i have seen a MIX video of phil haack creating a stackoverflow-like app called 'haackOverflow" .
PS : I'm looking for a app that is developed in ASP.NET MVC(with best practices). i have found music store, nerd dinner,and MS town hall app.
Firstly, This question may be asked. But I could not get the information i am looking for.
I am creating a website which should take to [URL] where the user enters his account information and it redirect back to my website similar to how stack over flow is doing when we click on gmail image.
I am trying to implement a website in .net.

I clearly dont want other types of openID implemention where u enter the open id and pick ur open id provider.
I have a ASP.NET MVC 2 app I am building and users are allowed to post data in certain sections. I would like to display the "Posted At" in the same format that Stackoverflow and Facebook do. i.e. On this site when I post this question it will display "asked 3 seconds ago" then "asked 3 mins ago" and after a few day it will display the date. My app is C#,
View 2 RepliesI have downloaded TheWorldsWorstStackOverflowClone. One of the project is called TheWorldWorsts.ApiWrapper, which basically is the core of accessing the API. There is a class called ApiProxy.cs, which has all the methods for the API call. This is good.
Now what I want to do is I am trying to collect data from this API interface and store it in a database. I know the limit to the API call is 10k per day. I.e: I want to be able to call the method in the ApiProxy class 10k times per day, done automatically. How can I do this?
The non-automatic way would be to create a dummy site where when every time I access the site it does all that process, but this not efficient. It seems that I have to write some kind of a scheduler by deploying a web service, but that is too complicated... as explained here. Any other simpler methods?
I am a fresher and I have got a project in asp.net and c#. I have to create a forum, something like stackoverflow, so I have studied asp.net, c# and sql server 2008 but now I am unsure how I should start work on this project.
What technology and what part of asp.net, c# and the database will I use more? I have 3 days to study so I want to know which parts of asp.net, database and c# I have to cover in 3 days.It's my first live project, will I have to study any other languages or are the ones listed enough?
I use ASP.Net web form and ADO.Net.I would like to show the data list like stackoverflow because I don't want to use GridView. I've some data fields to show example.
Title
Description
Date
Keyword
what control I should use and that control will attach with Pager for the data list.
I'm wondering building a website like StackOverFlow (approximately the same features using ASP.NET ) How much Work-power and time does it take in your opinion . My boss has asked me to estimate for work-power , time , cost and suitable technologies .
View 6 RepliesI am wondering how does this website - stackoverflow handle the user authentication? It accept yahoo, google, facebook, myspace, openID etc to login. And most importantly with asp.net.I want to build something like this too.
View 1 RepliesTechnologies involved:
ASP.NET Web-forms
Javascript (jQuery for instance)
Case,To make it clearer let's give the Stackoverflow Users list as an example. This list can be manipulated at client-side. I can search, page and so forth. So obviously we would need to call jQuery.ajax to retrieve the HTML of each page given a search. Alright. Now this leaves me with the first question:
What is the best way to render the response for the jQuery.ajax at server-side? I can't use templates I suppose, so the most obvious solution I think is to create the HTML tags as server-controls and render them as the result of an ASHX request? Nice. That solved we have yet another problem:
When the user first enters the Authors List the first list page should already come from the server completely rendered alright? Of course we could render the first page as well as an ajax call but I don't think it's better. This time I CAN use templates to render the list but this template couldn't be reused in case 1. What do I do?
Now the final question: Now we have 2 rendering strategies: 1) Client and 2) Server. How do I reuse code for the 2 renderings?
suggest any jQuery/Ajax pager solution for asp.net mvc application.
Main requirements are:
1) source code available ( will modify a little if necessary)
2) page shifting have to be without full postbacks based on jQuery/Ajax
BTW, what pager code has Stackoverflow?
Is there a way to force the MVC automatically generated code to follow the conventions you have set in your preferences? For example, I keep all curly braces on the same lines as their declaring class, method, etc, but when generating a controller, it completely disregards my settings. Is there a setting someplace to force the same code generation as other parts of project?

I've a requirement to be able to generate PDF's within our (ASP.net) application. We need to meet the following requirements:
The text will be largely dynamic and must be added programatically. we'd like to base these generated documents off PDF templates provided by our designers. Some of the sections/pages may or may not be visible depending on certain conditions - we'd like the content to 'flow' upwards to fill the space when something is removed. Some of the pages may need to repeat, depending on certain conditions.Some of the PDF templates will be out of our control (we're populating application forms supplied by third parties), so being able to read in a blank PDF and populate it would be good.
I've looked at iTextSharp and it seems to do most of these things (i.e. I can take a PDF, edit it to include form fields where we need to fill data and then use iTextSharp to read that in as a template and populate the data), however, I'm not sure how then to go about potentially hiding whole sections and/or repeating pages.
I am trying to use the code available here to generate thumbnail images of url's that are returned as part of a search function in my website. Everything works fine when I am running through the development server in Visual Studio 2010, but when I push the code out to the server (Windows Server 2008 64bit w/ IIS 7 running in Integrated Mode) the code never returns a thumbnail. Is there something I need to do to get this working in IIS 7?

View 1 RepliesDoes ASP.NET always apply the "ct100$..." prefixes to element IDs, or in some cases does it optimize this away if the element is guaranteed unique anyways. Recently I have seen builds differing in the ID prefixes being applied, one having the prefixes and one not but both deriving from the same source. Can anyone provide any more detail this, and on the workings of INamingContainers and ID generation?
