Hopefully a picture is worth a thousand lines of code because I don't want to have to strip down all of the ASP.Net code, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to provide an example (but I'll supply what I can upon request if someone doesn't say "Oh, I've seen that before! Try this...") [Actually, I did post some code and CSS - see bottom of questio...
We want to run a daemon that exposes itself via ASMX, using Mono 2.0 (or later). Instead of dealing with the ASP.NET hosting APIs, we're thinking about just starting a daemon thread in the Application_Start event. XSP2 shouldn't restart the appdomain, so our daemon will be safe. Are there any downsides to this (besides being a bit odd)?...
I'm having some trouble getting log4net to work from ASP.NET 3.5. This is the first time I've tried to use log4net, I feel like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. My project references the log4net assembly, and as far as I can tell, it is being deployed successfully on my server. My web.config contains the following: <configSections...
I'm currently using Subversion to manage my ASP.NET website. I'm finding that whenever I go to upload my website to my server, I'm copying a large number of hidden .svn folders and whatever contents may lie within them. Does anyone have any suggestions for avoiding this? I don't particularly want those hidden .svn folders on the product...
I am very impressed with the ASP.NET MVC stuff--and I've seen the various blogs and am quite anxious to dig in. But where are the docs? I can't find any docs on the System.Web.Mvc namespace, or any of its related namespaces. Google searches limited to msdn.microsoft.com don't turn up anything, nor does just googling. I know there are a...
On an ASP.NET MVC (Beta) site that I am developing sometimes calls to ActionLink will return to me URLs containing querying strings. I have isolated the circumstances that produce this behavior, but I still do not understand why, instead of producing a clean URL, it decides to using a query string parameter. I know that functionally they...

what is difference between Server.Transfer & Response.Redirect & what are advantages & disadvantages of one over another ? ...
I have a composite control that adds a TextBox and a Label control to its Controls collection. When i try to set the Label's AssociatedControlID to the ClientID of the Textbox i get this error Unable to find control with id 'ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_MatrixSetControl_mec50_tb' that is associated with the Label 'lb'. Ok so a little...
I would like to move items from one list to another on a page, and I'm pretty flexible about what type of a list it is. What's the best way to do that? ASP.NET Ajax? jQuery? Anything else? ...
For example, I have a custom control called SampleControl. To simplify things for this question, pretend I'm making just a Panel Control clone from scratch. <CC:SampleControl ID="Sample1" runat="server"> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Hi"></asp:Label> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1"></asp:Label...
Guys, I’ve been writing code for 15+ years, but managed to avoid “Web Development” until 3 months ago. I have inherited a legacy Asp.net application (started in .net 1.1, we’re now on .Net 2.0), it’s the administration tool for our product. In several places the admin tool simply maintains long lists of values. The list (could be 200+...
Hi, Lets say I have a single object of type Car which I want to render as HTML: class Car { public int Wheels { get; set; } public string Model { get; set; } } I don't want to use the ASP.NET Repeater or ListView controls to bind because it seems too verbose. I just have the one object. But I still want to be able to use the data...
Currently I am working with a custom regular expression validator (unfortunately). I am trying to set the Regex pattern using a server side inline script like this: ValidationExpression="<%= RegExStrings.SomePattern %>" However, the script is not resolving to server side code. Instead it is being interpreted literally and I end up wi...
Currently we're using Web Application project, so we have a gain with compilation. But as far as I know, the aspx pages a still compiled at the first page hit. So does precompilation give a perceptible performance gain ? (first hit exluded). What type of web site (hits/sec, number of users) will benefit of it ? ...
I have a site, and it will be sold to different clients but for maintenance reasons, we will be keeping one codebase. So this means that this one codebase will have to be dynamic enough to have different styles and so forth, depending on the client. The domain would be a subdomain-type system, so: projectname.clientname.com , projectnam...
Hi, Using the client-side ASP.NET AJAX library, I have created an instance of a client component with the $create shortcut-method (http://msdn.microsoft.com/da-dk/library/bb397487(en-us).aspx). The object is attached to a DOM element. Now I need to get a reference to the instance, but it is neither registered on window or on the DOM ele...
I have a CompositeControl that contains a DropDownList. I have set the AutoPostBack property of the DropDownList to true. On the page, I have: <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel" runat="server"> <ContentTemplate> <MyControl:Control ID="CustomControl" runat="server" /> </ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel> I've also tri...
I’ve been asked if we can optionally “single-instance” our web portal. See this post on Hanselman's blog for the same idea in a WinForms app. Suppose we have 2 shortcuts on the same client machine: http://MyServer/MyWebPortal/Default.aspx?user=username&document=Foo http://MyServer/MyWebPortal/Default.aspx?user=username&documen...
So a webapp I've been working on broke, and I made some fixes... it still crashes, but in the YSOD it shows me the old code. I'm running this from the VS 2005 IDE. It won't hit any breakpoints, and it crashes on line 249, which is clearly commented out. I've cleared out my debug/release folders and rebuilt it; restarted IIS (just in case...
