Using the viewer control for display of SQL Reporting Services reports on web page (Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms), can you move the View Report button? It defaults to the very right side of the report, which means you have to scroll all the way across before the button is visible. Not a problem for reports that fit the window width, b...
I need to script the creation of app pools and websites on IIS 6.0. I have been able to create these using adsutil.vbs and iisweb.vbs, but don't know how to set the version of ASP.NET for the sites I have just created to 2.0.50727.0. Ideally I would like to adsutil.vbs to update the metabase. How do I do this? ...
When I'm working with DataBound controls in ASP.NET 2.0 such as a Repeater, I know the fastest way to retrieve a property of a bound object (instead of using Reflection with the Eval() function) is to cast the DataItem object to the type it is and then use that object natively, like the following: <%#((MyType)Container.DataItem).Propert...
I have nUnit installed. I have VS2008 Team Edition installed. I have ASP.Net MVC Preview 4 (Codeplex) installed. How do I make Visual Studio show me nUnit as a testing framework when creating a new MVC project? At this point I still only have the Microsoft Testing Framework as a choice. Update: I installed nUnit 2.5, but still wit...
For my Enterprise software solution (so open source is not so good) I want to implement a flexible dashboard which is component base. So I can keep changing it by adding new components, withouth having to wait for the next version. my gold standard is pageflakes any suggestions? ...
Hey-- I'm developing a site in Visual Web Dev Express, and when I run/debug, I'd like to be able to set my application's document root so that I can use safer paths, like "/css/style.css' instead of "css/style.css". How would I accomplish this? ...
Is there a simple way in .NET to quickly get the current protocol, host, and port? For example, if I'm on the following URL: http://www.mywebsite.com:80/pages/page1.aspx I need to return: http://www.mywebsite.com:80 I know I can use Request.Url.AbsoluteUri to get the complete URL, and I know I can use Request.Url.Authority to get the...
I'm currently writing an ASP.Net app from the UI down. I'm implementing an MVP architecture because I'm sick of Winforms and wanted something that had a better separation of concerns. So with MVP, the Presenter handles events raised by the View. Here's some code that I have in place to deal with the creation of users: public class Crea...
What I want to achieve is this. I want to give the user the ability to upload an image file, store the image in BLOB in SQL Server, and then use this image as a logo in other pages of the site. I have done this by using Response.Clear(); Response.ContentType = "image/pjpeg"; Response.BinaryWrite(imageConents); Response.E...
I'm getting into ASP.NET (C# - I know it doesn't matter for this particular question, but full disclosure and all that), and while I love that the asp:-style controls save me a lot of tedious HTML-crafting, I am often frustrated with certain behaviors. I encountered one last night when working with Master Pages: my <asp:BulletedList ID="...
I've been using user controls extensively but never use a HttpHandler and was wondering if I am doing something suboptimal or wrong ...
I'm trying to build a C# console application to automate grabbing certain files from our website, mostly to save myself clicks and - frankly - just to have done it. But I've hit a snag that for which I've been unable to find a working solution. The website I'm trying to which I'm trying to connect uses ASP.Net forms authorization, and ...
We've got a page with a ton of jQuery (approximately 2000 lines) that we want to trim down b/c it is a maintenance nightmare, and it might be easier to maintain on the server. We've thought about using UpdatePanel for this. However, we don't like the fact that the UpdatePanel is sending the whole page back to the server. Looking for...
I have a form view, in the edit template I have two drop downs. Drop down 1 is explicitly set with a list of allowed values. It is also set to autopostback. Drop down 2 is databound to an objectdatasource, this objectdatasource uses the first dropdown as one of it's parameters. (The idea is that drop down 1 limits what is shown in drop ...
I have an ASP.NET webforms application (3.5 SP1) that I'm working on, and attempting to enable gzip fpr HTML and CSS that comes down the pipe. I'm using this implementation (and tried a few others that hook into Application_BeginRequest), and it seems to be corrupting the external CSS file that the pages use, but intermittently...suddenl...
The ASP menu control emits tables instead of div's, and I don't want to bother learning control adapters. I want it to emit CSS-friendly code, and I need to be able to style the menu items individually. Nice transition effects are a plus, but at this point I'd settle for something straightforward and reasonably priced. ...
We have a situation where users are allowed to upload content, and then separately make some changes, then submit a form based on those changes. This works fine in a single-server, non-failover environment, however we would like some sort of solution for sharing the files between servers that supports failover. Has anyone run into this...
Hi, can you recommend some good ASP.NET tutorials or a good book? Should I jump right to ASP.NET MVC/html/javascript or learn web forms first? Thanks ...
I need to see the contents of the viewstate of an asp.net page. I looked for a viewstate decoder, found Fridz Onion's ViewState Decoder but it asks for the url of a page to get its viewstate. Since my viewstate is formed after a postback and comes as a result of an operation in an update panel, I cannot provide a url. I need to copy & pa...
In a recent project, I built my own MVC framework in PHP. One of the things I implemented was a routing system. I used Apache's mod_rewrite to send all requests to index.php, and then parsed the URI to extract information and route the request. I'm dabbling in ASP.NET now, and I'm wondering if/how I might perform something similar. Is ...
