Embedding RadEditor in my page but Master page's CSS is screwing it up ..like Editor's content area is inheriting background-image property of the body tag when I want it to be white..drop down lists inside of Editor too are not displaying correctly..I don't wanna create whole new custom skin
View 1 RepliesIs there any way for me to override the values that are stored in a third party assembly in an embedded resource file?
Using Red Gate's .Net reflector, I can see there are 6 resource items, but I only want to change to of them when using it in my web application.
I have recently discovered that I am affected by this bug http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71515.html
Well,at http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71529.html they say the work around is to create a global policy assembly and redirect the assemblies that way since it is not read from the web.config.
How do you actually do what they describe there? There is a huge documentation gap in that area with Mono.Also,I can't just recompile the assembly to use the new Mono assembly versions because the assembly is closed source.(but it does work with Mono.)
I have a VS 2008 asp.net application which runs perfectly under the Visual Studio environment. I have deployed the application to my local IIS (IIS 7 on 64 bit Windows 7 on the same PC as my VS 2008). When I then try and connect to the default.aspx page, I get the basic page but no stylesheet or gifs appear to be downloaded. I have run the app using Live HTTP headers and get code OK 200 saying that the resources have been retrieved but they are clearly missing. I have my stylesheets and GIFs in 2 subfolders of the root folder ( ie is rootmyappCSS and rootmyAPPResources ).
I have changed the pathing etc (using ../ and ~/ notattions and still cannot get the stylesheets/GIFs to appear on my default.aspx page). The web logs do not show any errors. Does anyone know anything else I can try? Or point me to the next step in resolving this problem?
I want to add StyleSheets programmatically in the head section but one of the examples I saw seemed to need to many lines of code to add just one style sheet even though I may need a lot: Example Code:
HtmlLink css = new HtmlLink();
css.Href = "css/fancyforms.css";
css.Attributes["rel"] = "stylesheet";
css.Attributes["type"] = "text/css";
css.Attributes["media"] = "all";
Page.Header.Controls.Add(css);
I also use Page.Header.RenderControl() method but it didn't work either. Object null something error was thrown. I also used Page.Header.InnerHtml and InnerText += "<link .... "/> things but they threw the Literal error which is I think common error. I used this code :
List<Literal> cssFiles = new List<Literal>();
cssFiles.Add(new Literal() { Text = @"<link href=""" + ResolveUrl("~/Resources/Styles/MainMaster/MainDesign.css") + @""" type=""text/css"" rel=""stylesheet"" />" });
cssFiles.Add(new Literal() { Text = @"<link href=""" + ResolveUrl("~/Resources/Styles/MainMaster/MainLayout.css") + @""" type=""text/css"" rel=""stylesheet"" />" });
AddStyleRange(cssFiles);
private void AddStyleRange(List<Literal> cssFiles)
{
foreach (Literal item in cssFiles)
{
this.Header.Controls.Add(item);
}
}
It worked at first but when I change the pages it stopped working. I am using Master Page and I am writing these codes on Master.cs file and also some people recommended to use this.Header instead of Page.Header but when I built it throws an error which says I cannot declare that like this. It shouldn't be that hard to add many styles.
When developing large application using ASP.NET (MVC or classic, doesn't matter), especially in large team, it is easy to produce a lot of messy, non-traceable CSS definitions. After some time we can end up not knowing why particular definition exists and what is its real effect considering style inheritance and cross-browser differences. Needless to say, changing anything in that mess is a risk and there are hundreds of ways how small change could affect the system.
I know some solutions to organize CSS stylesheets better, like predefined CSS "frameworks" or DotLessCss engine, but I still find it quite hard to cope with CSS as there is no such relationship between HTML markup and CSS styles like i.e. between interface and concrete class in C# code. I know this is by design to make presentation separate from the structure, but I believe it might be useful to have such a correspondence at development level.
Ideally, I need something that can enforce the team not to make messy CSS or be able to clean that mess up automatically. Do you know any resources that may help me, or any guidance how to manage my CSS definitions easily? Let me ask for something a bit different:Despite of my several years of web experience, I believe I would feel much more confident if some of my CSS could be moved into C# code, the same way as some of HTML generation is done by MVC HTML Helpers. It saves me writing a lot of unnecessary markup, still allowing to do so if needed. And it is more unit testable, easier to refactor using tools like ReSharper etc. I don't need mergers and compressors of my CSS, I would like to be able to manage my CSS at declaration level. Maybe there are some tools like that I'm not aware of, or maybe that idea is just wrong and wouldn't be useful?
Currently my IIS is serving CSS files with no Content-Type header. How to change it? Should I change it on my application or in the server?
View 1 RepliesThe project I'm working on allows an end-user to modify CSS code to integrate the application as best possible. Most of the CSS values are stored in a database and need to be retrieved and parsed dynamically. I setup a Style controller, and gave each stylesheet an action, and then passed the configuration data through to the View. I set the ContentType to "text/css" and then generated the stylesheets. This works fine, but the problem I'm running into is this: none of the code works in the application. I include it in the head code, but it doesn't parse in the code. An example of what I do is this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<dynamic>" ContentType="text/css" %>
.element {
background-color: <%= ViewData.Model.BackgroundColor %>;
}
I include it like so:
<link href="/style/Basic" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
When I include the CSS code in a partial view and include it using the ViewModel (wrapped in style tags) in an action, then everything works fine. It is when I try to parse this as a separate file when it does not work. Is there something I am doing incorrectly? Or is there some kind of glitch?

i was wondering if visual studio 2010 can be used as an assembly editor too????if yes where do i have to go to create a first blank page for an assembly project?
View 1 RepliesBefore using any class in your website project/page we have to add it's assembly reference to our project. Right?
Now, when I am using SmtpClient class from System.Net assembly after adding the System.Net.Mail namespace in namespace node of application's web.config file but without adding assembly reference to the project, it still accepting and running the code. Why?
I enquired the machine's web.config file located at C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIG but didnt find assembly reference for System.Net there also.
So bit confused how it is working and where the assembly reference has been added and how?
I'm getting following warning
Assembly generation -- Referenced assembly 'System.Web.dll' targets a different processor
What does this mean and how do I fix this?
I just want to create Shared Assembly and use that assembly in our application.I am using VS 2005.
Step 1
I am trying to build a dll.
Create class library project <TestDllHell>.
Under that project add CalculationArea.cs file.
[Code]....
Then TestDllHell.dll add into GAC successfully.
Now I want to use it in my Website project so did the following steps but unable to view that dll in .Net Reference List Box.
•I go for Run regedit to edit the Windows Registry.
•Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft.NETFrameworkAssemblyFolders key.
•Right click on the AssemblyFolders key, then select New > Key. Enter the name of your assembly (without the .dll extension).
•Double click on the key's (Default) value. The Edit String dialog will appear. Enter the full path of the folder where your assembly resides. Note that all assemblies in that folder will appear in the Visual Studio list.
•IMPORTANT! You must exit and restart Visual Studio to see your assembly in the Add Reference dialog.
My question is that
How can I get that dll in my add reference assembly List .Net section?
And if I modify that dll(TestDllHell.dll) then again register in GAC then version will be different,So how can I told my client application that which dll you choose?
First off, suggest better ways if you want rather than patch up this code. I am just starting this project and it is first time I have tried to code a web site so anything you suggest is very much welcomed. I have spent the last 2 and 1/2 days trying to find workable answers to this but none I have found and tried seem to fit. If needed I can email screens shots or code. I am trying to construct a website that will have the same main theme throughout as far as the header, navbars sitemap, and footer go. Naturally the content will vary from page to page. I want to use a single master page and css stylesheet for this main theme and I will change the content format as needed per page because each page may vary somewhat.
However, about 15 of the pages will all use the same format for their content and this format will differ from the rest of the site but the format of the main theme will stay the same. So I am trying to create a nested master page to use to format the just the content area for all these pages while retaining the main theme for the header, etc.. I believe I should use a separate css file with the nested master page to handle the formatting of the content areas for these 15 pages. I have code that looks like it works when viewed in web developer but design view but does not work when viewd through a browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox). So far I have the following done in web developer.
If it helps the code and screen shots follow. Master Page called "Parent.master". For all theme throughout site Nested Master Page called "Lab.master". For the 15 like pages Primary stylesheet file for main theme called "StylesheetNew.css" For site theme Secondary stylesheet file to syle the 15 like formatted pages. It is called Labmaster.css Labs.apsx file to use as first of the 15 like pages.
Finally screens shots from web developer and browser. Sorry try as I might I could not capture screenshots and put them into this post. The problem is that web developer shows all the area (many lines high) with gray background and with the XXX text that I want to allocate for content in the 15 pages. Yet all the browser show is one line of text o a white background followed by the footer. It looks like the LabStyleSheet works in Web Developer but not in a browser.

I use the following my .net applications to resolve the path to an image or css file or javascript file.
<%=ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/myscript.js")%>
<%=ResolveUrl("~/images/myimage.jpg")%>
All my pages and controls inherit from a base page or base user control.
I have tried but didnt succeed in overriding the ResolveUrl method so that I could include some custom logic in the files path.
how I might override the ResolveUrl method? Alternative is to create my own custom method that does similar but would prefer to work with ResolveUrl.
I am using VS2010 & MVC2 to develop a web app. I noticed that HtmlHelper.LabelFor doesnt contain an override that accepts either a css class or html attributes. I was thinking about writing my own override for this, but am struggling with it.
The current LabelFor method accepts a lambda expression and automatically extrapolates the property name, display name (if specified via [DisplayName] attribute and value and generates the label. How do I write my overridden to do the same, but also insert any htmlAttributes specified such as class, style etc.
i cant seem to selectively disable serverside validation using annotations. Data annotations and unobtrusive validation is an awesome feature and has worked out great for us thus far but trying to localize it has been fruitless.
Basicly i have a property in a model object like this (it wraps a DTO)

I would like to create a WebService in .Net who expose multiple WebMethods
I need a WebService version per new implementation (WebMethod or New Property in Business Object), like this :
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class Service : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
[WebServiceVersion("1.0")]
public string HelloWorld()
{
return "Hello World";
}
[WebMethod]
[WebServiceVersion("1.1")]
public string NewMethodInVersion1_1()
{
return "Hello World";
}
}
With UrlRewriting or HttpHandler :
HelloWorld WebMethod only : http://localhost/Service/1.0/Service.asmx
HelloWorld WebMethod and NewMethodInVersion1_1 : http://localhost/Service/1.1/Service.asmx

I have a ProductService class that defines the following methods. It doesn't work, as I will explain further below, but it gives the compile error CS1061: 'ProductService' does not contain a definition for 'GetByid'. Unless I've dropped the ball on method overloading, why is the public overload of GetById not seen by other code?

return _entityContext.Products
.Include("Category")
.Where(p => p.Category.id == catId);

I'm creating a multi-tenant Asp.Net MVC 3 Web app, and using EF4.1 code first for the db model.For development I'm happy to use SqlServerCE in App_Data, and for production this will move to Sql Server 2008.
Say my context is called "MyModels", by default code-first looks for a connection string called "MyModels" in Web.config. This can be told to use a file in App_Data or changed to access a database in SQL2008. All fine so far.
But because of multi-tenancy, I'd like the SqlServerCE filename to match the unique id of the tenant (so App_Data would have "client_x.sdf", "client_y.sdf"; Sql Server 2008 would have separate databases). I can't work out how to direct to these different databases.
I've tried MyModels inheriting from DbContext and supplying a connection string (using a 'placeholder' conn string in Web.config and replacing "{clientId}" with the unique id), and I've also tried setting the connection string in the MyModels constructor:
base.Database.Connection.ConnectionString = xxx;
but this never seems to work. I always get the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
( it's not yet 'configured' to use SqlServerCE, and so is trying to connect to Sql Server)
Tracing the code, Database.Connection.ConnectionString hasn't been read from Web.config at this point, so I can't search and replace that, and, possibly, it's getting overwritten by the 'placeholder' conn string later in the pipeline.I reckon this must be quite straightforward and I just can't find the 'hook'.
I have been trying to implement ValidatorCalloutExtender but for some reason I can't assign different icons for "WarningIconImageUrl" or "CloseImageUrl". When I leave them blank then I get the default icons but when I try a different icon set then I keep getting "no image display or "X" for the icons.
I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem or am I doing something wrong since this should be pretty straightforward. The link below is the link I followed, everything works except the icons.
