I recently (a few days ago) installed .NET 3.5 SP1 and subsequently an aspnet_client folder with a bunch of Crystal Reports support code has been injected into my .net web apps. Anybody else experienced this? Am I correct in saying that this is a side effect of SP1? What is this? ...
For .net 3.5 SP1, Microsoft have the new client profile which installs only a subset of .net 3.5 SP1 on to Windows XP user's machines. I'm aware of how to make my assemblies client-profile ready. And I've read the articles on how to implement an installer for ClickOnce or MSI. But I've been using Inno Setup for my project so far and I'...
I have a problem with IIS 6.0 ceasing to work for an ASP.NET application after installing Service Pack 1 for .NET 3.5. I have 2 identical virtual dedicated servers. Installing SP1 on the first had no adverse effect. Installing it on the second caused ASP.NET pages to start returning 404 page not found. Static .html pages working okay o...
I want a data structure that will allow querying how many items in last X minutes. An item may just be a simple identifier or a more complex data structure, preferably the timestamp of the item will be in the item, rather than stored outside (as a hash or similar, wouldn't want to have problems with multiple items having same timestamp)....
What's the best way/tool to display nice diagrams with entity relationships in ASP MVC views? I.e. servers and and applications, or servers with other servers. Are there any third party tools out there that can do this? I've been searching around things like Telerik, but it's really hard to google for this! ...
I need to programatically determine whether .NET 3.5 is installed. I thought it would be easy: <% Response.Write(Environment.Version.ToString()); %> Which returns "2.0.50727.1434" so no such luck... In my research I have that there are some rather obscure registry keys I can look at but I'm not sure if that is the route to go. Does a...
I'm having trouble reading a "chunked" response when using a StreamReader to read the stream returned by GetResponseStream() of a HttpWebResponse: // response is an HttpWebResponse StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); string output = reader.ReadToEnd(); // throws exception... When the reader.ReadToEnd(...
The System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherObject class (which DependencyObject is based on) contains a useful function, called CheckAccess(), that determines whether or not the code is running on the UI thread. When I wanted to use it yesterday, I was puzzled to find out that Intellisense didn't show the function (nor VerifyAccess(), which...
I'm packaging up a .NET 2.0 based web app for deployment through a Windows Installer based package. Our app uses Report Viewer 2008 and I'm including the Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2008 installer. When I check the download page for Report Viewer 2008, it lists .NET 3.5 as a requirement. Is having .Net 3.5 installed real...
I've got a System.Generic.Collections.List(Of MyCustomClass) type object. Given integer varaibles pagesize and pagenumber, how can I query only any single page of MyCustomClass objects? ...
Hello, I'm currently using VS2005 Profesional and .NET 2.0, and since our project is rather large (25 projects in the solution), I'd like to try VS 2008, since its theoretically faster with larger projects. Before doing such thing, i'd like to know if what I've read is true: can I use VS2008 in ".net 2.0" mode? I don't want my custome...
Is there a pattern using Linq to dynamically create a filter? I have the need to create custom filtering on a list, in the past I would just dynamically create the SQL...it doesn't seem like this is possible with Linq. ...
Where can I find a good tutorial on learning ASP.NET MVC using VB.net 2008 as the language? Most in-depth tutorials that I found in searching the web were written in C#. ...
What's the best lifetime model for a DataContext? Should I just create a new one whenever I need it (aka, function level), should I keep one available in each class that would use it (class level), or should I create a static class with a static DataContext (app-domain level)? Are there any considered best practices on this? ...
Today I was listening to the Hanselminutes show about .NET 3.5 SP1...What's inside, and they twice mentioned the Office 2007-like Ribbon control that is included in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1. I am very interested about this, as I was previously looking at purchasing this from a 3rd party vendor (likely DevComponent's DotNetBar...
Here's a wierd one. I'm reusing a code base that unfortunately, must not be updated. This code makes a call to HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString. Ideally, I need to push a value into this collection with every request that is made. Is this possible - perhaps in an HTTP Module? ...
I am attempting to update a project from ASP.NET MVC Preview 3 to Preview 5 and it seems that Controller.ReadFromRequest(string key) has been removed from the Controller class. Does anyone know of any alternatives to retrieving information based on an identifier from a form? ...
It'd be really nice to target my Windows Forms app to the .NET 3.5 SP1 client framework. But, right now I'm using the HttpUtility.HtmlDecode and HttpUtility.UrlDecode functions, and the MSDN documentation doesn't point to any alternatives inside of, say, System.Net or something. So, short from reflectoring the source code and copying it...
I use asp.net 3.5 and have also begun looking at 3.5 sp1 I like the clean urls that mvc tends to have but use asp.net webforms for my primary development. I normally use a url rewriter in order to accomplish this type stuff. When I say clean urls I mean like /products to get a list of products and /products/Product_One to look at the in...
I have an extender control that raises a textbox's OnTextChanged event 500ms after the user has finished typing. The problem with this is that OnTextChanged get raised when the textbox loses focus, which causes problems (because of the postback). What I'd like to do is give the extender control its own server-side event (say, OnDelayedS...
