C# - Allow Developers To Enter Role Information Into The Web.config?
Oct 10, 2010
I'd like to mimic the behavior of the "profile provider" that is available in .Net. The profile provider acquires profile properties from the web.config and those properties are immediately available as an enum for use in the code behind.I'm unsure how to do this, and wondered whether someone may be able to help.Essentially I'd like to allow developers to enter Role information into the web.config, and then have this role information available for use within an enum in the codebehind.
Usually in sub-folder we will limit the access right to some roles and this feature requires pre-defined database schema.
However, if i still want to use this role feature of asp.net, but I do not like the pre-define database schema, I want to extract role information from my own database table and bind it to the role.
A client has approached me requesting that I quote to build a project in .NET. One of their reasons for this is because it's easier to find a .NET developer than it is a PHP developer.I've tried searching google, but I can't find any stats on this. I suspect that there are more PHP developers, then .NET, I certainly don't know any .NET developers, but know a few PHP developers.Does anyone have a link to any stats which should how many developers their are for each path?
How can additional information such as first/last names, department, city, country, etc, be most easily incorporated into role/membership for insert, update, and delete?
can i get information about the computer that enter my page , like the currently logged user on that computer and the ip address . and if i can get the currently logged user name , isn't that considered as security risk .
So I have an ASP.net application, with an ActiveX Control which brings up a pop up
When I point to the application directly through IP there is no problem with the pop up eg. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/MyApp (under Default Website in the IIS -- IIS 7) Problem arises when I set up the IIS to point it to a domain [URL] which points to the above IP (under another "Site" i.e. not the "Default Site in IIS 7)
I then get this weird
Microsoft .net Security Warning Never enter personal information or passwords into a window unless you can verify and trust the source of the request.
Source: [URL]
The site is in the trusted list -- just like when I was using the IP only . Is there any setting in the IIS I need to tweak for IE to trust me fully.
I have a sitemap defined in a web.sitemap file and I'm also doing role-based authorization for locations using web.config. I'm using the web.sitemap to generate a menu structure on a Master page, and I wanted to somehow hook the role-based auth from web.config into my menu to hide links to pages that would be denied access from the roles auth.
Is it possible to read the list of <location path=""> and associated role authorizations (allow or deny) from web.config so I can check that against the web.sitemap when generating the menu structure?
We use Sharepoint to control our websites. We build the sites, then load them into the sharepoint server. My question is if I use windows authentication, how can I get my role security in my web config file to coencide with the asp.net controls that use the Forms authentication. Is there a differenence? Our security uses a session variable for security but there is no where to set up their permissions except in active directory. I hope this makes sense because I would like to implement the LoginView with Role groups but how can I give them the role="administrator"? Do I have to go into active directory and give them these permissions(would take awhile due to the size of the company)? Or do I have to set up priveladges in the web.config file for each user(difficult I think)?
I am not able to reproduce the problem in stage or development. It only appears when the website is under heavy load.
I think it is solvable if somebody who has a very good understanding of the internals of FormsAuthentication would have a look at it by logging into our system. It should be at least Scottgu!
Somebody told me that Microsoft Premier Support is a good choice for this kind of problems. We have no MSDN subscription or other connection to microsoft that enables us to use MPS.
Is there a way to get support on a incident base? Are there other ways to get this kind of support?
I've searched some FREE Controls, Templates, WebParts, Themes for SharePoint 2010, and its really hard to find good and free examples. Turned back into StackOverFlow and there is no Community Wiki for it. I want to open a Community Wiki about All Free SharePoint 2010 Controls, Templates, Themes, WebParts, etc... to collect them all in one topic.For example, there is a site about MOSS 2010 Free Controls in here. This site containt most MOSS versions controls, web parts. I want SO Users to add most usefull web sites for SharePoint 2010 Developers such as Free controls, themes, tools, etc.
I'm taking over a project built by other developers and they used Linq-To-Sql, which I've used, but not with stored procedures.
Most of them work, but some don't because the stored procedure returns a dynamic select statement. So L2S doesn't understand what return type to set for the stored procedure and it return an "int" instead of a "ISingleResult<some type>".
Even if I manually change the return type to what it should be in the data context and save (I know you aren't supposed to), the stored procedures revert back to the "int" return type. Is there any way to make them always return a particular type?
I am used to use Firefox's FireBug and It is really good. I can see all the info I need.Right now I am dealing with an application that is only compatible with IE, I am using the developer tools of IE but it is not as intuitive as Firebug and I can't figure out how to see the size of the packets sent from the client to the server, so far I see the time spent in each request.
So, is it possible to view the size of the packets sent with IE8 developers tool?
We're migrating one of our sites to ASP.Net. We do not want to use integrated security, which uses the windows account to connect to sql server (not going to get into why, its just out of the question). We created a username and password to connect to SQL Server, and would like to use that username and password, however, we also do not want other developers to see this information (easily read from the web.config).... I know it can be encrypted, but it can just as easily be decrypted by the developers - plus encryption has a performance hit.
I know this question could be similar to others but really I'm looking for reasons why VB6 developers should switch to C#. My company recently approved project to be written in C#, so we have a lot of VB.Net programmers, however, we have some legacy app developers as well that are in VB6. We have a time frame to re-write those apps into .Net web apps. So no matter what they will have to learn new stuff.
One of the developers today specifically asked "why should we switch to C#?" I responded that the community largely has decided that C# is the way to go with about 80% of the examples in C#. I am a VB.Net programmer and I am excited to finally cut my teeth on C#, however, being that I'm so new I'm not sure I can answer the "why?" question. My reasons are more because I want to learn it. So without descending into a VB verses C# I really am curious if there are any resources that I can send to these developers to calm their nerves.
I have a co-worker who supervises a group of ASP.NET developers who are doing lots of ASP.NET/SQL Server apps. My co-worker was very technical at one time, but his last programming assignment was writing Fortran code in the 1980s.
He has asked me to help him gain a deeper knowledge of ASP.NET Web application development to equip him in his supervisory role. I will be spending an hour every other week with him providing training, and he will probably not have a lot of time to commit otherwise.
What would you recommend as topics to cover, tutorial resources, etc. so that I can help him get up to speed in his role as a supervisor of ASP.NET developers?
asked in forums but I could not find any forum, newsgroup or discussion boards for "trainers" (teachers, coachers) and supporters (writers of courses, sysadmins of labs, et al) of professional courses for IT developers Might be the certified by major vendors trainers have the sites with forums but they are closed to non-certified "colleagues". Are there? I even do not know!I train as a hobby, sporadically, and I am not certified as trainer, at least by private entity. I daresay I spend on preparation to train more than I earn from training
Recently we've developed an E-Commerce web application for a client. We are at the stage before launch and the client is not happy to disclosing live merchant account details to us because they don't want us to potentially being able to see their clients' data.
Since we are going to maintain their website (running off their servers but we will still have access to the site files) I cannot see an easy solution to this other than trust.
How to implement and maintain E-commerce application when business don't want to disclose merchant details to developers?
When adding a role (making use of asp.net's role provider), i cannot find a method to add a role including a description.the asp.net Role table in SQL makes provision for a role description, however the only method available is:Roles.CreateRole(string RoleName);here is no overload to include a description.Is there an out of the box way of including the description? or should i go about this myself?
I am making an online form (literal form) that needs to have a certain function: when the user enters a 5-digit number, the form should automatically query the MS SQL DB and retrieve information associated to that number and populate other form elements (text boxes, etc.) accordingly.
So say the # was 12345 and in the DB, the record matching 12345 has name=Fred. So, when I enter 12345 into the form textbox, the name text box should be automatically populated with Fred in it.
If this is not easily achievable, I guess a submit button beside the 5-digit number text box can do.
I am still learning my way around ASP.NET and Visual Studio 2005, however I have ample experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C/C++. The ASP.NET app is to be written in C#.
