I searched all over this site and the web for a good and simple example of autocomplete using jQuery and ASP.NET. I wanted to expose the data used by autocomplete with a webservice (and will probably do that next). In the meantime, I got this working, but it seems a little hacky... In my page I have a text box: <input id="txtSearch" ty...
Currently i have a NotInheritable class in App_Code that hold some variables that need to be access thur-out the application but i don't think it's a good way to manage global variables. ...
Is there a cookie automatically placed on the user's machine? Or is it somehow associated with the requester's IP address? Or maybe in the ViewState? Elementary question, I know, but I've had a hard time finding an answer. ...
Is the source code for the common login controls available? Those are the controls which are available under Login section in Toolbox: Login, LoginView, PasswordRecovery, LoginStatus, LoginName, CreateUserWizard, ChangePassword Eventually could you point me to a good source of custom implementation of functionality that those ...
In our web applications, we seperate our Data Access Layers out into their own projects. This creates some problems related to settings. Because the DAL will eventually need to be consumed from perhaps more than one application, web.config does not seem like a good place to keep the connection strings and some of the other DAL-related...
I have a list of error codes I need to reference, kinda like this: Code / Error Message A01 = whatever error U01 = another error U02 = yet another error type I get the Code returned to me via a web service call and I need to display or get the readable error. So I need a function when passed a Code that returns the readable des...
Out of the several ways of accessing the SharePoint model of a SharePoint Services 3.0 site from an ASP.NET application, two seem to be very similar: SPWeb site = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context); SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web; It is my understanding that both of these methods need to be executed from within an ASP.NET applicati...
I've been trying to create a custom control that works exactly like the Panel control except surrounded by a few divs and such to create a rounded box look. I haven't been able to find a decent example of how to do this. I need to be able to place text and controls inside the control and access it directly without referencing the panel...
How do you create a custom control (not an ASCX control) and, more importantly, use it in your project? I'd prefer not to create a separate project for it or compile it as a DLL ...
I have a software diagnostic page on which I would like to list the File Version information of a couple of COM DLLs. The page is running under the normal, restricted ASP.Net account (NETWORK SERVICE). Given the ProgIDs of a COM library, what's the best way to go about getting the physical file path or otherwise accessing the file versi...
I can see line numbers in my error logs in our development environment, in which VB.NET 2005 and ASP.NET components are compiled in debug mode, with PDB files copied to the server on deployment. I don't see line numbers in production, where things are compiled in release mode, and presumably no PDB files are created or deployed? Can som...
I always have this notion that writing SQL queries in the code behind is not good compared to writing it using a SqlDataSource SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Categories", myConnection); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); ad.Fill(ds, "Categories"); myGridView.DataSource = ds; myGridView.DataBind(); vs. <asp:SqlData...
I am in the process of writing an application that will need multiple forms of authentication. The application will need to support authentication to Active Directory, but be able to fail back to a SQL Membership Provider if the user is not in Active Directory. We can handle the failing to the SQL Provider in code based on the username...
I've been preaching both to my colleagues and here on SO about the goodness of using parameters in SQL queries, especially in .NET applications. I've even gone so far as to promise them as giving immunity against SQL injection attacks. But I'm starting to wonder if this really is true. Are there any known SQL injection attacks that will...
I have a relatively simple site that I'm working up for an intranet environment. The pages have a hook to display a simple bit of text (possibly with a bit of HTML for markup purposes) for help when the user clicks a link on the page. I'm debating whether to put the help snippets in their own XML file or create a section in web.config. T...
I have a web application which references an external .dll (lets call this productA.dll) I have updated my GAC, my web.config, and my references, checked the versions and everything looks consistent. However, when I run my application, methods that I use from productA.dll cannot be called, and I get a "the specified module cannot be fo...
I'm currently building a Gridview that has expandable rows. Each row contains a dynamically created Panel of Form elements. Right now, I have a javascript function that expands (or in my case, makes visible) the panel when an Image is clicked on the Gridview row. My question is... is there a more efficient way of doing this. Instead of ...
Why are the code-behind pages for an ASP.NET web application locked at run time? I have older projects (probably defined as "web sites" instead of "web apps") where I can edit the code behind, refresh the browser, and see my changes. With the web app, I have to continually close and reopen the browser if I want to see my changes live. Is...
Is there a way to monitor the size of the cache on your web server? I just want to see how much of my server's memory is being taken up by the cache. ...
