I have a rather complex page that dynamically builds user controls inside of a repeater. This repeater must be bound during the Init page event before ViewState is initialized or the dynamically created user controls will not retain their state. This creates an interesting Catch-22 because the object I bind the repeater to needs to be c...
Having worked with Classic ASP for about 2 years now by creating a few 100 simple web forms I can't see a good reason for switching to .net; however, I'm not that versed in .net so I'm sure I could be missing a few things. Some points that I often hear around work can be found here: http://www.packtpub.com/article/Classic-ASP (not that ...
When an AutoCompleteExtender is displayed in IE6 it seems to ignore z-index and renders below any select controls (like dropdownlists) in IE6. <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" /> <cc1:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="TextBox1" EnableCaching="true" CompletionSetCount="5" ...
I have a scenario where I need to make a call to a telephone(landline/mobile) or send SMS to a particular set of users only using ASP.NET and C#. The web application is not a mobile application. How do I go about doing these? What typically would be the hardware requirements? I would be extremely grateful if you could provide me with p...
Sometimes when I'm editing page or control the .designer files stop being updated with the new controls I'm putting on the page. I'm not sure what's causing this to happen, but I'm wondering if there's any way of forcing Visual Studio to regenerate the .designer file. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 EDIT: Sorry I should have noted I've a...
I have a web site in asp.net that uses a master page. In this master page I have a multiview control with one view that has all the content for the content pages and one view that has some local content to the master page where I show error messages from all content pages. In this error view I have a asp.net Label control that displays ...
Python frameworks always provide ways to handle urls that convey the data of the request in an elegant way: think http://somewhere.overtherainbow.com/userid/123424/ I want your to notice the ending path /userid/123424/ How do you do this in ASP.NET? ...
In my last job we ended up rewriting the complete ASP.NET stack (forms, controls, validation, postback handling, ajax library etc...) - the reason I was given was that the ASP.NET controls were not accessible enough, not were any of the third party controls that were assessed for the project. Can anyone point me to good accessible ASP.N...
I'm presenting information from a DataTable on my page and would like to add some sorting functionality which goes a bit beyond a straight forward column sort. As such I have been trying to place LinkButtons in the HeaderItems of my GridView which postback to functions that change session information before reloading the page. Clicking ...

I have a web application that should behave differently for internal users than external ones. The web application is available over the Internet, and therefore obviously to the internal users as well. All the users are anonymous, not authenticated, but the page should render differently for internal users than external. What I'm doing ...
This happened to me in Visual Studio 2008 pre and post 2008 sp1 on more than one computer and to someone else I know, so it can't be an isolated incident. Seemingly random, every so often I lose all syntax highlighting in my aspx page (the html) so that Visual Studio now looks like a really expensive version of notepad. Does anyone kno...
Our ASP.NET 3.5 website running on IIS 6 has two teams that are adding content: a development team adding code and a business team adding simple web pages. For sanity and organization, we would like for the business team to add their web pages to a sub-folder in the project. Root <-- development team pages go here .. Content <-- b...
Given an ASP.NET application, I need to run a maintenance process on a regular basis (daily, hourly, etc.). What's the best way to accomplish this without relying on an external process like a scheduled task on the server (assume I don't have access to the server - shared hosting environment). ...
I've heard Jeff Atwood, Joel Spolsky, and many other legendary people talk about how the ASP.NET Web Forms model sucks (so this question is kind of directed to them, hopefully Jeff is reading). Now, I highly respect their opinion, given their background and expertise, but truth be told, I absolutely LOVE Web Forms. I think the model is ...
Details: Only disable after user clicks the submit button, but before the posting back to the server ASP.NET Webforms (.NET 1.1) Prefer jQuery (if any library at all) Must be enabled if form reloads (i.e. credit card failed) This isn't a necessity that I do this, but if there is a simple way to do it without having to change too much...
What is the best book to learn asp.net for someone who has little programming experience? ...
One of the problems I have come accross having complext tasks on the browser is with automatic timeouts. Currently our site has a sliding expiration of 30 minutes. Normally this isn't a problem because we use asp.net and most of the time the users update one or two fields and then submit the form. This obviously keeps the session acti...
In my web application I include all of my JavaScripts as js files that are embedded resources in the assembly, and add them to the page using ClientScriptManager.GetWebResourceUrl(). However, in some of my js files, I have references to other static assets like image urls. I would like to make those assembly resources as well. Is there a...
