View 1 RepliesI have two websites. One site contains nothing but image files. This is a sub-domain of the main website. The main website allows the user to search a database of information and displays that information. I create a grid with a link to the file. In my row_databound function, I want to check to see if that file exists on my other website. If it doesn't I remove the link, otherwise I leaves a link to that file. how to verify that the LINK actually goes to a file that exists?

What is the way to :
1) Check if a file exists on an FTP site.
2) Sample the size of that ftp file (3) times to ensure the file is ready for downloading.
We have some classes doing this already but they are using WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails and then searching there in if file exists. I am hoping there are some clean ways to do this.

View 1 RepliesI'm having some trouble trying to create a page for my web app. I'm not trying to write a simple download/upload page. Should also say that I'm not trying to write a complex one.What I need to do is in the PageLoad check if the user has installed one particular software and then show the right message to download and install OR run it from the user's actual installation. For this scenario I've tried to use different file upload controls to check if the file was on the client machine, but none of then can do this, since, for security reasons,I can't programmatically set the path and file to upload.

I am very new to this and have watched a lot of the videos. While trying out VWD2010 and SQL2008 Express, I come across many things, I just don't know how to do. Here is the latest:
I have a Table
UserId - Int - AutoIncrement
FirstName - Var(10)
LastName - Var(10)
I also have an ASP web page that allow the user to enter a first name and last name. It also has a button to submit. What I would like to do is have a Select statement check to see if the name already exists, then send a comment back to the user via a label. If it doesn't exist, then I would like to Insert the info and then again inform the user via label.
SelectCommand="SELECT COUNT (UserId) FROM Users WHERE ((FirstName=@FirstName) and (LastName=@LastName))"
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO User(LastName, FirstName) VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName)"
<InsertParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbFirstName" Name="FirstName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbLastName" Name="LastName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
</InsertParameters>
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbFirstName" Name="FirstName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbLastName" Name="LastName"
PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
On the code behind, I get lost. (Obviously this doesn't work, but I don't know how to go about getting a results back. Protected Sub bSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bSubmit.Click
SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty)

(check return value, if <>0 then

else
SqlDataSource1.Insert()
lblResults.Text="added!"
end if)

It is also important to filter down by CompanyID which is held in a Profile table. So the value can be equal in records where the CompanyID does not equal the loggedin Profile.CompanyID. So a user with a CompanyID of 2 can have a value in the table for SubType as "laptop" but a user with CompanyID of 3 can still enter "laptop" if there is no match for "laptop" and companyId = 3.
Is there any benefit (performance wise) to check if a record exists before updating it or do I just go straight in with an UPDATE WHERE?
