C# - Create A Process Of Merging Letters And / Or Envelope Templates From Web App
Aug 24, 2010
I need to create a process of merging letters and/or envelope templates from a web app. We are using VS2010, C# (.net 4.0), asp.net, and Office 2007. The user selects a bunch of accounts from a list, and I need to collect the info for those accounts for merge. One catch is that if I look up an account and one of the two account holders has passed away, I need to change the greeting based on that info. For example, in most cases the letter would say something like Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith. But if bob is dead, then it would just say Mrs. Mary Smith.
I also need it to open on the client side in word ready to print. So if the letter is 1 page, and the user selects 100 accounts, the word doc should have the letter merged with the 100 accounts just waiting for print. What is the best way to do this?
I have a page that is called from loads of different pages that basically sends emails. It has text boxes for Subject, From Address etc. and a textbox like the one I am typing in now (on this site) which allows users to format a html message.
I have created my project template but I want to put my own wizard to ask user about filename with database name that user want to attach in project. and with this name I wanted to start my own windows application to create that cs files / classes of that tables and automatically saved into that project folder..
have gone through the N2 CMS documentation at length and can see no obvious set of steps to accomplish this.The task is to create a new Web Forms CMS app based on N2. Basically to take the Stripes theme and customize it.I originally downloaded the full source code and got it working on my development machine with SQL Server. After this I made various attempts at copying the files necessary to run the application into the new Web Forms folder in wwwroot. I got a lot of the same runtime errors that I see others getting, relating to missing DLLs, browser control adapters, and the like.
My current approach, per the "howto_install.txt", is to use the Publish function to move the required files to my wwwroot folder. This is really not desirable if I want to work on CMS sites for three different clients - think about it. Either way, when I bring up the new site in the wwwroot folder now, the home page link on the home page, all image links, and all admin links are now broken (this happened after moving site to IIS7). The install document mentions copying the "N2 management files" to the new folder - can anyone explain what is meant by this?Can anyone assist in outlining the basic steps in getting a new Web Forms N2 site working with full functionality in the wwwroot folder?
I am new to sharepoint I am familiar with creating webparts and using them in sharepoint, but how to create an entire site as template and make it to use in another sites
If I wanted to create a custom HTML helper and take advantage of the new in-built templating feature, how would I do that? It appears the templating features are internal?
m trying to create websites dynamically according to some htm templates.So far so good, I can read the html using the "System.Net.WebRequest" methods.Now I want to load from such templates some usercontrols... explain it:HTML-template look like this:
[Code]....
"%UC1%" and "%UC2%" would be place holder for some usercontrols..UC1:
[Code]....
Now, I want that some .aspx page reads the html template (this is done) and replace the found placeholders (eg: %UC1%) with corresponding UserControl.

I want to create HTML templates to send my subscribers e-mail message. I put HTML tags into a text file and changed the required format items every time I want to send an e-mail with values from my database using string.format():
[Code]....
[Code]....
I think the application will be slower as string.format() searches for more format items.
I have recently found this snippet of code but I am unable to get it to work. Does anybody know if the $index syntax has changed in the latest version of the client templates?
You can create a thread given a delegate to method, can I create a process in the same way? I want to do that to be able to close the child process from task manger if something goes wrong.
We are working on a SharePoint Site where we have created lot of webparts. Now so far we have been creating SitePages for these webparts manually and adding webparts to those. It takes lot of time in any environment and its difficult to move from environment to environment.What is the ideal way of doing it? How can we automate sitePage creation process and hopefully add webpart to it by some scripts?
In my ASP.Net (2.0) Web Service implementation (The implementation class derives from
System.Web.Services.WebService with WebServiceBinding confirming to WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1 .
The SOAP response sent out by the Service has two elements missing :
1> The XML header itself : (<?xml version="1.0">)
2> The opening and closing Envelope tags with NameSpace ("<S:Envelope xmlns:S=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>" and "</S:Envelope>" ).
This results in "breaking" of my client unless the above mentioned headers are inserted at the client end, and my intent is to avoid bypasses at the client end as far as popssible.Is this the default behavior ?

If I watch the processes tab in Task Manager on the web server I see "cmd.exe" under the context of 'administrator' but it just hangs. For test purposes c:SendV80s.bat: copy c: oot.ini c:zzz.txt
If I logon onto the webserver's console and execute SendV80s.bat it works and exits without issue. But when I execute the same batch file via the Submit button it gets stuck executing in Task Manager/Process. I believe this has something to do with the fact that cmd is not running in a full environment/desktop context. I just noticed this on the actual console of the webserver (not in my RDP console but console 0 instead)
A pop-up box stating: CMD.exe Application error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click OK to terminate the application. And when I click on the OK button my ASPX page's WaitForExit is satisfied and the continues processing normally.
I know that similar questions have been asked all over the place, but I'm having trouble finding one that relates directly to what I'm after.
I have a website where a user uploads a data file, then that file is transformed and imported into SQL. The file could be up to 50mb in size, and some times this process can take 30 minutes or sometimes even longer.
I realise I need to palm off the actual work to another process, and poll that process on the web page. I'm wondering what the best approach would be though? Being a web developer by trade, I'm finding all this new Windows Service stuff a bit confusing, and I just wanted somewhere to start.
So:
Can I do / should I being doing this with a windows service? if so, how?
Should I use WCF? If this runs under IIS, will I have problems with aspnet_wp.exe recycling and timing out my process?
clarifications
The data is imported into sql, there's no file distribution taking place.
If there is a failure, it absolutely MUST be reported to the user. The web page will poll every, lets say, 5 seconds, from the time the async task begins, to get the 'status' of the import. Once it's finished another response will tell the page to stop polling for status updates.
queries on final decision
ok, so as I thought, it seems that a windows service is the best idea. So as to HOW to get it to work, it seems the 'put the file there and wait for the service to pick it up' idea is the generally accepted way, is there a way I can start a process run by the service, without it having to constantly be checking a database table / folder? As I said earlier, I don't have any experience with Windows Services - I wondered if I put a public method in the service, can I call it somehow?
I keep receiving an exception with the message "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". Im absolutelly sure that i'm submiting my correct username/pwd
I've developed a popup email .aspx used on our intranet based web app that is auto generated with .pdf's attached. I'm developing with VS 2008 ASP.Net 3.5 C# and System.Net.Mail.MailMessage. I can create and send the email with no issues. The problem is with any attempt to open or delete the attachments I get the above error. The .pdf's a copied with the following code:
FileStream fsr = new FileStream(inFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read); BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(fsr); byte[] bytes = new byte[fsr.Length]; reader.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); FileStream fsw = new FileStream(outFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write); BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(fsw); writer.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); // clean up writer.Flush(); writer.Close(); writer = null; fsw.Close(); fsw.Dispose(); fsw = null; reader.Close(); reader = null; fsr.Close(); fsr.Dispose(); fsr = null; Later after sending the email I: mailMessage.Dispose(); mailMessage = null; foreach (string fileName in attachments) { if (File.Exists(fileName)) File.Delete(fileName); }
The error occurs at: the File.Delete(fileName);
how I can delete or reopen these files after sending the email?
I have a .NET infra code running both within the IIS worker process and within a desktop client app. How can the .NET code determine whether it is running within an IIS worker process?
I know that I could check the name of the process (w3wp.exe, for instance), but I would like a more robust approach. I wish to make a side note. This is not a production need. I need this information to enable certain scenarios useful during the development and testing phase. Specifically to ease the testing of secure vs non secure configurations.
When I hit the run button (in my Default.aspx), a process starts (this process contacts a webservice to get some files, etc). How do I: Ensure that only a single process is running at a time (i.e. if I refresh the browser, I don't want to start the process a second time)Track progress - there are 4 points of the process (at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) that I want to track, and when each part completes, I want to update the progress bar. I have a status object for the running process, but the question is how to update the progress bar automatically? Do I need to use threads to achieve the above two?
