This is fetching the IP address alright, but now I want to know the country of the visitor and USE that country name to redirect the visitor to some webpage accordingly.
I came across this library but have no clue how to use it in the project. Actually I do, but I am not sure so I am asking.
http://ipaddressextensions.codeplex.com/
When I download from the above the ZIP folder has a DLL file and an XML file. Now, what do I do with these two? Like include in the project. Then what do I type in the code file?
Something like the following.
if (countryName=="France") { response.redirect("www.mysite.fr") [code]....
How do I go about it? Also do I really need to type SO many if blocks for ALL the countries. How do I shorten this code?
In .NET is it possible to get the HttpContext of the current page from within an external class?
So, for example in my page test1.aspx codebehind I've got:
Dim blah As New FeedWriter() blah.Run()
But inside FeedWriter.vb, can I get the HttpContext of test1.aspx? Or would I have to pass it in to Run()? (I'm unwilling to do the latter because FeedWriter implements an interface which will need to be re-written if it's to take arguments)
I'm trying to figure out how to save my XML file in the outside location.
I have a Main web app that uses an XML file as a datasource for one of it's pages. This XML file is generated manually by accessing a utuility page in the same app. I created a utility app that resides outside of the Main app ( it's on my C:/Inetpub/wwwroot) but it should save an XML file in the directory of the Main applicatoin. My utility works fine if I need to save to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/XMLFiles) but I when I try to access the file at the Main application something like that:
It gives me an error: System.Web.HttpException: Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory. If I just type full URL it says that URI cannot be resolved.. How can I access that Tests.xml file to update it?
I have an ASP.NET web app and am attempting to reference an external config (using enterprise application blocks configuration) for some of the configuration but it is not entirely working. I previously had all of the configuration info in the web.config (and it was working), but we are wanting to share some of this configuration information between multiple apps. When I put configurationSource tag in the web.config, and read the configuration through the WebConfigurationManager object, it loads some of the external config info (Logging) but not the connectionStrings and not the custom section I created. So it's reading it (logging is working), but some dots aren't being connected and my connection strings aren't coming through.
Again, it worked when it was all in the web.config. I am running .NET 3.5. Any idea what needs to change to be able to reference an external configuration source and have it all come through?
It's been so long since I've done this that I don't remember how.
Basically, I am creating a Web Application from scratch. I have dragged the LoginBox to the page and went to "Administer Website". Unfortunatel I see no where where I can choose to have the application talk to an externally-hosted database as opposed to defaulting to the "App_Data" folder. I am hosting an SQL instance named "SQLEPXRESS" on my development machine and have configured a database and user. I wish for the site to use this database and user and have set the connectionstring as follows in the web.config:
Yet even after adding that I see it showing no where in the "Administer Website" section. Please walk me through getting my application to talk to this database and configuring the necessary tables. I remember there needing to be some sort of exe I needed to run to do this, but my Google and forum searching is failing me.
I have a windows application that stores a file on the current user's isolated storage, lets call this user Adam. On the same machine I have a Web service (The Web Service's application pool is running with Adam's credentials) that uses the same dll to access the file on the isolated storage but it is trying to access a file on the Default User's profile instead of the real user's profile (in this case Adams Profile)
Why is it trying to look for the file on the Default User's profile Instead of Adam's Profile? How can i make it look for the file in the right profile?. I'm running it on Win 2003, C# and .Net framework 3.5
We have had complaints of users losing data that they entered in textboxes in our ASP.NET 2.0 web application. Users are authenticated using Web Single Sign On method. My boss would like to save the client data in a file on their local disk in case they lose connectivity. I know this is not allowed with the default security of ASP.NET.
Would it be possible to programmatically change the ACL permissions for the NETWORK SERVICE account to access the isolated storage folder on the logged in user's local disk? Is there a better way to achieve this goal of persisting user data to a file?
We have an issue with an internal application, where accessing it from LAN (private n/w) works fine, while access from external n/w throws up erratic behavior.
The Current System :
an aspx page (asp version 1.0) hosted on the IIS server (6.1). The front end is a vb form that connects to a sql 2000 database.
Users' credentials authorized using NTLM security.
Access from an external n/w - a reverse proxy configured with an ISA server 2006 to authenticate credentials.
Domain Controller - Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
The issue when accessed from external n/w :
everytime an entry from a drop-down is selected from an Ajax enabled control, instead of the fields populating, the page gets refreshed and the content of the box are cleared.
Also, clicking on other items that normally hyperlink to other pages, results in nothing happening.
Upon investigation, we realized that :
Everytime it fails, a string - "&AuthResend" followed by an alpha numeric string is attached, which attempts to authenticate the user's credentials everytime a request is made to the server.
ISA error logs yielded the following error msg :
"12210 Internet Server API ( ISAPI ) has finished handling the request. Contact your system administrator. "
This behavior is inconsistent except when accessed from Google Chrome, where it fails each time.
We have applied all the recommended hot fixes from Microsoft's KB pages.
As indicated in the Subject, I have a web application (say APP) that should feature an e-Mail Notification Service (ENS). Activation of the Service is controlled by a Button in a dedicated page where some parameters are also included to set running Period (FromTime - ToTime), Interval, Recipients, etc.
When said button is clicked, it should maintain those parameters into database then launch ENS. Since ENS is expected to run for good according to set parameters, it logically should run as an external application/service, independent from APP.
When ENS starts, it needs to consult database to fetch parameters, then schedules its Timer to periodically check database for some transactions that when found, should trigger ENS to dispatch e-Mails to concerned Recipient(s).
CHALLENGES:
1. Launch ENS as an external application on button click from APP.Achieved by using System.Diagnostics.Process class. However, I encountered a problem in verifying if the process is already running before starting it. The root of the problem lies in ProcessName property. Since ALL web applications must be launched via IE, hence, have iexplore as their ProcessName, which is also applicable to all processes started through IE, it is very likely to have multiple processes utilising IE. How to check which is which? I couldn't figure out that.
Eventually, I ended up with a workaround: when the Process is started from APP, capture its ID and save it to database, then use this ID with GetProcessById() method for later verification. When the Process is terminated, reset stored ID in database.
2. What sort of application should ENS be: Windows Application or Web Application?
In either way however, ENS will always run invisible in the background being a Process. If this is the case, how about creating it as a Windows Service instead?
I did a lot of reading but still confused. However, the choice is limited now to either Web Application or Windows Service. Which one is more convenient to the task in hand?
3. What Timer to use?
I tried System.Timers.Timer in a test web application but it didn't fire! Then I used ASP AJAX Timer and it worked pretty well (I still need though to try running it from APP to judge its functionality). I came across some recommendations to use System.Threading.Timer but haven't tested that yet. Would it worth the trial?
4. ENS as a Windows Service.
If I create ENS as a Windows Service, would I be able to communicate with database? How would this influence the Timer to use?
I've noticed as my website gets bigger and bigger, the time my laptop takes to display my page is much longer then say a new projects with minimal references. I think there are two variables at play that affect ASP.NET warm-up time:
The quantity of external references The time it takes for a worker process to new() up each instance per worker process Additional time for the WCF objects as the ServiceHost may be in an external DLL First, are those the correct variables to take into account when considering ASP.NET startup time? Next, it appears that web.config may dispatch other objects for use with certain filetypes (*.svc, *.aspx, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF), etc. ). This too may cause delays in ASP.NET.
Last, my project is created as a "web project" not a "web site". Not sure if this has an impact. Is my theory full of holes, or is there something I can do to make development on a old laptop any better?
When user click Build button Phython script needs to run.I execute this by using process but so many processes created when so many clicked the Build button, server hang.
Being new to integrating sharepoint documents into web applications I am struggling with the following task, so anyI have a page in my web application that needs to display a document from sharepoint.I use the appropiate sharepoint web service to get a list of all the documents in the sharepoint list, I then pick out the one I would like to retrieve and get the path to the document so i would end up with something like:
Company%20Hire/Hire%20Site%20Price%20Lists/0.pdf Within our network I can do following: iframePdf.Attributes[ "src"] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SharepointUrl"] + _filePath;
This would display the document in iframe... problem I have is coming from outside the network the sharepoint site can't be accessed (due to firewalls etc). We do have a vpn back to our network on the external server our web application sits on. If i was to use the document url in a browser on the server I am prompted for credentials and then get to view the document.Is there a way for the web application to use the vpn, use credentials i give (e.g through impersonation) to access the document and display it to exernal clients?
Is it possible to embed an external application inside the browser (IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox) so it will look like a native web application but actually having access to the USB ports of the client machine? I have heard that I need to make an ActiveX control. I would like to use the .Net framework, but if that is not possible, maybe using Java or C++ will be fine.
I have to make an application that will allow to the users to connect an external device to an USB port, this device will take a backup of the information contained in a SIM card and send it to the user's account online agenda. So the user can restore it later using the same application. This should be a web application or at least look like one.
If the first is not possible. Is there any way to launch an external application from all the browsers, and then pass information to the browser window to allow it to refresh after the backup has been made?
I have an ASP.NET application running on multiple IIS6 web servers, with a SQL Server 2005 database back-end.
I need to:
monitor the database for the completion of an external job event, and then have exactly one web application instance submit some information to a web service For (1) it seems like a SqlDependency would be the best approach (or just plain old polling). Each web application instance would register such a dependency when it starts up. (I don't want to configure a 'master' instance because the failure of that instance would mean the task doesn't proceed, even if other instances are available. Thus my design is to ensure that if there is an instance available to do the work, then the work ought to proceed.)
For (2) I have been thinking of having some sort of flag in the database that the web application instances try to update once they receive the SqlDependency notification in (1), along the following line (greatly simplified):
UPDATE StatusTable SET TaskStatus = 1 WHERE TaskStatus = 0
SELECT @@ROWCOUNT
that only one application instance would have been able to update the TaskStatus, and thus only one instance would have a @@ROWCOUNT > 0. This would then be the instance 'elected' to submit the information to the web service.
I am working on Windows 2008 Server (64-bit). I want to execute my web service as a pure (native) 64 bit service. All the assemblies referred by the web service are currently built as 'AnyCPU'.
When I publish the web service to IIS, and configure it to run under a 64-bit application pool (by setting 'Enable 32-Bit applications' = false), attempt to access the web service gives the error 'Application is not a valid Win32 application' because of a BadImageFormatException. This appears to indicate that somewhere an attempt is being made to load a 32 bit assembly. But the error does not provide any information about which assembly was found with an incorrect format. I have checked all the assemblies in the bin folder using corflags and they are bit agnostic.
I tried using the fusion log and identified a bind failure with VJSharpCodeProvider (though my service is coded only in C#). The runtime is not able to find the VJSharpCodeProvider because it is present in the GAC as an x86 assembly.
Is VJSharpCodeProvider the cause of the problem? I guess this is not the case because of the type of exception (BadImageFormatException). If I am correct, then how do I identify the assembly that is causing this exception?
If I change the property 'Enable 32-Bit applications' to true for the application pool, the service works fine, but I need native 64-bit execution.
I'm developing a Web tool in ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX . Its working fine in Local Server. When i deployed it in Development Server and executing the Application , I got an error
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled.
Details: Error parsing near ' I didn't use any Response.Write in the Application. How can i solve this issue ? Any body knows the solution for this ?
I have developed an ASP.NET MVC Web Application to execute PowerShell scripts.I am using the VS web server and can execute scripts fine. However, a requirement is that users are able to execute scripts against AD to perform actions that their own user accounts are not allowed to do.Therefore I am using impersonation to switch the identity before creating the PowerShell runspace:
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(config); var currentuser = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name; if (runspace.RunspaceStateInfo.State == RunspaceState.BeforeOpen) { runspace.Open(); }
I have tested using a domain admin account and I get the following exception when calling runspace.Open():
Security Exception Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file. Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.
The web application is running in full trust and I have explicitly added the account I am using for impersonation to the local administrators group of the machine (even though the domain admins group was already there).I'm using advapi32.dll LogonUser call to perform the impersonation in a similar way to this post (http://blogs.msdn.com/webdav_101/archive/2008/09/25/howto-calling-exchange-powershell-from-an-impersonated-thead.aspx)
I want to execute my asp.net application where Windows XP Service Pack 3 is installed + VS 4.0 framework is installed and IIS 5.1 is installed. The program is not running yet.
