How To Load A Stylesheet Based On The Client's Screen Resolution
Apr 7, 2010
I've been reading a lot of articles containing tips regarding in creating commercial websites and it seems the client's screen resolution is a factor here.
I'm wondering if there is a way in VB.NET to detect the screen resolution that your client is using? I really don't want to use JavaScript here, since the some clients disable the use of JavaScript.
And also, is there a way to load a Stylesheet based on the client's screen resolution? For example...
I can get client screen resolution using client side script 'javascript' but i dnt want to do that I also tried Request.Browser.ScreenPixelsWidth but it always return fixed width 680.
In my webform I have a datalist that displays images that are approximately 200px each. The datalist is set to RepeatColumns = 5, RepeatDirection = Horizontal (display 5 images per row). With the padding and spacing, each datalist row takes up about 1200px in width.
The problem is that if a user with a 1024x768 or 800x600 resolution visits the page, he'll see the horizontal scrollbars. It's not really a problem, but, well...
Is there any way I can call a javascript function in page_load that will get the screen dimensions, and send that javascript result to my serverside so that I can change Datalist.RepeatColumns?
My javascript function would probably use screen.width and screen.height, but how do I send those values to my codebehind?
How would one create a website that would look the same at any resolution? I've heard of making so it will fit for a 800x600 screen but then that just screws everyone that has a higher screen resolution. I've heard about using widths that use percentages and using iframes and things like that.
What's the best way to have one website fits all resolutions?
I'm creating a optimized web page for mobile devices with C#. Is there a way to offer a page for larger screens and one for smaller screens on android devices? With Apple i can differentiate between iPad and iPhone, but how can I do this with the galaxy tab or a regular android phone?I don't want to use any javascript in this case.
I designed my page (Using ASP .net C#) in 1024*768. if resolution of the screen decresed(ex 800*600) then vertical and horizental scroll bar appear. And if resolution of the screen incresed then right side of the screen is become blank. i want whatever the screen resolution is there my page is run fine after detecting the resolution of the screen and then run.
how do i create website which supports various screen resolution & Multi browser support (i.e 1024*768 ) and others using asp.net...
i have developed website in asp.net (vb) my monitor resoultion is 1024*768 but when i try to access my site in other monitor having the resolution more than 1024*768 then the controls are unmanaged .... in the webpage...
I am a newbie in web development I came from win form environment. how to set tabcontainer (ASP.Net Ajax Tool) width size according to users desktop screen resolution?
I'm making a new design for my website, but I want to keep the old one and possibly switch between the two.
Unfortunately, I've changed the content on the Master Page (luckily I have a backup). What I was thinking was to keep separate master files for each theme, and then just determine which one to server based on which stylesheet is loaded.
The only way I can think to do this is to keep a "settings" file on the website that has a "stylesheet=1/2/3/4/etc" line. Depending on the number there, the server will serve the correct master page.
Alternatively it might be easier to do something similar, but instead of serving a whole different master page, set a specific stylesheet to use.
I can read a text file (even encrypt/decrypt a file before and after it gets read for security), but actually giving the server the instructions based on what is read is where I'm lost.
I need to get client stats for browser (not full long description but short names, generally firefox,ie6,ie7,ie8,safari,chrome,opera and mozilla). Client resolution and OS ie. Windows Vista, Ubuntu .
I'm running into an issue which has me going in circles with the references I've been able to find online. I have an application which is using client certificate authentication (with a removable token). It works well as long as a user doesn't leave their computer. If the token is pulled and any timer events fire on the page causing a postback the application loses its authentication and ends up at an error page.
I've seen some sites which use a mix of (presumably) forms authentication and windows authentication so that the network authentication only has to happen one time and then a token is built which the session relies on for future requests. I had hoped to use something similar to this so that when a new user enters the application they are redirected to a secure page which will request the client certificate (same principal as windows authentication) and then create the token before sending the user back to their requested page. So far no luck with this.
If I try to setup a subfolder in my website with a different authenication scheme from the root ("windows" vs "forms") I'm given an error in Visual Studio about requiring a separate application in IIS for this to be valid. Working in a development environment this is not practical. Every other technique I've run across which tries to force one page (or folder) to use a windows credential is leaving me with an empty identity object.
Has anyone come up with a way of using a mix of authentication methods to reach the goal I have and still work inside of Visual Studio for development activities?
due to this code I am getting a pageload error? is that something wrong with this?this is the Error I am getting in IE.Webpage error details

I want a browser to go full screen as soon as my page loads. Is it possible in javascript. I know the shortcut key for this F11 but requirement is on page load only.
After reading the solution provided below. I achieved full screen but here i got a trap. I was using timer to make my page postback to get fresh data after every 5 second. And here I found after every 5 sec new window opens up but I want full screen to go only once and next time content gets refreshed there itself.
I have question regarding printer option page which pop up when i click on print button on crystalreportviewer and when i click okay on that pop up page it displays print preview of the report.
Is there any way to skip that pop up window(Printer Option) and just display (PDF)print preview screen instead?
(I am not exporting report to pdf, just want to display printview screen and when the user click on print button it will print out the page)
I have tried following code but i am getting error:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I have upgraded web application from VS.2008 to vs 2010. I was using previously ReportViewer 2008 control in a page and replaced with 2010 ReportViewer Control.
I have installed the ReportViewer Redistributable also in my local pc as well as in the server. Also as per the new requirement I have placed the Scriptmanager in the web page where the reportviewer control located.
While running the page, the reportviewer run the report and is not showing the data on the screen. It shows the blank screen. But If I export the data to execl or world it is showing the data. Also the page numbers in the reportviewer showing the total pages available in the navigation bar. I am sure the report is running and bringing the data to the screen but not showing it.
The below is the exact scenario, One form will be there and when user click on "Edit" hyper link other window will open to get more details. In that new window also I have a grid or a table which has other hyperlink which lead to open other window and in that window I will enter few details and save it....
I was wondering if there was a way to detect a browsers or client displays settings so that I could format a page accordingly? What I would like to do is create two separate styles that could be loaded dynamically depending on a persons settings.
Say one person with an older computer has their display settings set to 800x600, that persons page would be formatted to best accommodate that screen resolution and another person viewing the same page at a much higher resolution would have it formatted differently to best accommodate them.
I have an ASP.NET3.5 (C#) ASPX page that is internationalized in 10 different languages.
The page is very complex in its structured with dozens of nested views driven by a state machine pattern.
EDIT: I am using the meta:resourcekey syntax in every asp control, which allows to use declarative syntax for Implicit Resource expressions.
I have been asked to "brand" the page based on some query string parameter. Branding will mean not just loading different CSS files, but also having different text blurbs (in all languages).
Is there an easy way to "swap" resx files without having to get resources manually for each of the hundreds of literals and images that I have on this page?
In other words, let's say I have the following RESX files:
I have two websites (one asp classic and the other asp.net) which we would like to implement some kind of security based on the client's hardware. We want something other than a password which could be shared. The purpose is to be sure access to information on the websites is not shared.
We were contrmplating storing hardware info in our database and validating against that upun website entry.
I have been looking into ActiveX (it would be acceptable to limit our users to IE), although we do have users who would like to use I-Phones. I have done no ActiveX development myself but have found a few articles on the web about ActiveX but that whole approach looks complicated. And also there seems to be a 64bit issue making it even more difficult.
So, I wonder if anybody has any advice as to what the best options might be for securing the website access in a way that would prevent sharing?
I have four cascading dropdown control and now I want to load a gird data based on the value selected on that dropdown. This should be done by using ajax concepts..
