Trying To Put Together A "message Board" Type Of Section On Intranet Site?
Jul 14, 2010
i was wondering if this was possible.. any tips or thoughts are welcome!!
i'm trying to put together a "message board" type of section on my intranet site.. right now theres an ajax timer that just ticks and checks for messages.. so basically its "real time" messaging.. however.. the tick events do pose some annoying problems with other portions of the site..
so i was curious.. is it possible to hit a button.. post the message.. and have that trigger IIS.. or something.. to tell all actively connected sessions.. to update.. this would eliminate the need for a timer.. or anything like that
I want to include a message board into my website. I am using MySQL database and GridView to populate the Diary and Guestbook pages. I have, for test purposes, included an additional message board column in the database and displayed it with a single column Gridview. However, the adaptability is restrictive and it seems to be over complicated for a simple message board.
I have built my intranet using MS Visual Web Developer Express 2008. There are several secured areas and my manager asked me to find out if tracking the traffic is possible. Things that I would need to track include:
Which unique user ID's logged in and when? How many times did the same user login? Last login What info was accessed? What page(s) had the most hits? Would I need a database for tracking purposes? Would this info be available with a "dashboard" interface?
I was asked if I could make some kind of alert to pop up 3 different statuses, a green light for - server good, a yellow light for - the server is experiencing technical difficulties and not may be running properly and a red light for - server is down.
So how would I go about doing that in an employees Intranet page so they can see if there is problems with the server if they are trying to log in and work.
I know they work with Visual Studio 2010 and probably work with IIS - so just in case if they work with Apache.
I've an ASP.NET application hosted inside a local area network. The application host machine has access to the internet while the local area network clients do not.
There is one requirement where I've to show a web page with rich content (images) in an IFrame from internet (public network) address.
However since internet access is not available on the client, this somehow has to be done from server and then needs to be served to client.
I'm in the D820MySite_Developers group. When I attempt to login, it wants my password. I thought that with Windows Authentication it should not prompt for the password. If is use <allow user="*"/> it does not.
1. Is this the correct behavior?
2. My aspnetdb does not appear in the App_Data folder. Should it and is this causing the problem. If it should be there, how do I get it there?
3. I was under the impression that by using Windows Authentication, I can prevent users from accessing pages by folder. Is this provided by IIS or is this provided by Windows (using Windows Explorer)?
We would like to use AD authentication with our Intranet site to control what pages different users can access. I'm very new to ASP.net and would be interested in links to a how to description. We are using Visual Studio 2008.
I can log in with my own credentials, but I have virtually all the rights in AD. User2 can not log in. The website is set to use Windows authentication in IIS manager. And I've tried setting permissions in IIS manager and NTFS permissions for the folde
An abstract high level idea of where to begin as I am totally clueless at this point.
Background:
I am setting up an intranet site (ASP .NET) where users from our local user group (who are also added in our user table) will have access to web applications they are given access to. Right now I am developing from my PC and using SQL Server 2005 Express as the database, but the final site will be hosted on an application server with IIS 6.0 and the database on an instance of SQL Server 2005. I am a .NET newbie and it's a daunting task, but the experience is worth a million dollars.
Details:
We are using Windows Athentication for our intranet site. Therefore I am not using ASP .NET's membership data sources. Rather all the user information will be stored in two tables tblEmployee (all employees in my company) and tblUser (all users of the intranet site).
(I have set up these tables and I can change them any time).
What I need to accomplish - When an user goes to the intranet site, I can get his/her domain username. I need to check if this user exists in tblUser (domain username is same as UserID in tblUser). If user exists, we display all the applications he/she has access to, else display a "no access" page.
Specific questions:
What are some of the things I need to "learn"? (as I said before, I am a .NET newbie, but a fast learner too) I need to use URLAuthorizationModule for validating a page request. How do I hide the username from the URL? I was thinking along the lines of using a session ID... but then how do I know who the user is? I am sure these is a way to encrypt the UserID, just can't find it.
I am trying to build a web app for an intranet site that for security reasons needs to make the user type in their Windows or Active Directory username pwd manually. I have previously worked with Integrated Windows Auth but in this case, we do want them to use type in their AD credentials.
I have been trying to look up how to do this and frankly I am a bit lost. It should be a fairly straightforward task and am hoping you can point me in the right direction, with some tutorials or examples. We will be using SSL so, dont have to worry about passing pwd in cleartext over the wire.
My environment is visual studio 2008 in C#, .net 3.5 if that matters.
My company uses Google Apps for our e-mail/business app provider. Every employee has an account here.I'm looking into creating an asp.net web app that would allow users to sign-in (using their Google Apps account) and then accomplish certain things (first goal: keep a current record of the employee's skillset).Before I get started, I wanted to find out if an OpenID login system using Google Apps is any more difficult than doing it the standard way, or if I need to be aware of any pitfalls.
I have written my ASP.NET web site code in Visual Studio 2008. When I'm uploading it to the remote server I'm getting an error message about a problem in the web configuration file:
Section or group name 'system.web.extensions' is already defined.Updates to this may occur at the configuration level where it is defined.What is the reason for this error?
I'm getting this message when going to a web app that accesses my service.
"The content type text/html of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8)..."
The thing is, it happens once in a while even when no changes have been made to the service or the web app. And I can make it go away most of the time by going directly to the .svc?wsdl page in my browser and then coming back to the web app.
I have a simple intranet site. It has a role based authorization in the web.config file.
Any user's in a specific role called as "Apr-Sales-Writers" will be authorized to use those pages. If not, they will not be authorized. So far so good. Works fine. But we added additional functionality where a new active directory group (means new role) has to be added and user's belonging to this new AD group should be given access to only specific .aspx pages on the intranet site. I am using a web.sitemap and it looks like this.
If the user's belong to say AD group "Apr-Sales-Writers", they should access only default.aspx and salesData.aspx pages. User's belonging to new AD group (which I did not include in the web.config file below), should have access to other .aspx pages.
I have LOGIN PANEL for student, and I want to disable it in different page. And only the admin can enable and disable it. I dont know the logic behind here.
I am trying to create a forgot password section within my login section and it doesnt seem to work.
In my forgotpassword.aspx page my code looks like this:
[code]....
According to our records, you have requested that your password be reset. Your new password is: <%Password%>
If you have any questions or trouble logging on contact a site administrator.

I'm very, very new to the asp.net world and I was running through the create the movie db tutorial that is located in the learn asp.net mvc section of this website. Everything is fine until I create my home controller and edit it like on the site. Here is the first part of the code I have that has the error in it:
privateMoviesDBEntities _db = new MoviesDBEntities();
This is all on one line in visual studio but i get an error saying that the type or namespace 'MoviesDBEntities' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?). I have checked the spelling and I have the using MovieApp.Models; up above so if anyone has any insight that would be great.
I have also tried performing the manager contact sheet tutorial and get the same error in this section of the code.

I'm in the mid of doing an asp.net web project for learning purpose and realize that I always wanted to add additional logic in order to insist on the story board of web pages. For example, after a successful registering, new users are took to the congratulation page. But if any logged in-users can go to that page too if they know the address (and suppose they incline to do so!). I'm tired of checking of which page did they come from, especially pages that allow multiple source pages. Is there a beautiful way to keep the story board? I mean Easy. By the way, consider this code snippet: Number of users online: Why do I still get 1, after I - the only testing user - logged-out? Do it have something to do with session id?
I have to create an online notice board. It should work like this-
Whenever user logon his/her system. There should be a window opened displaying upcoming events, news, birthdays etc. In this there can be data fromm database(sql server).
