This is one of the things I've been hearing in Django VS ASP.NET discussion. I personally find it hard to believe but I never tried Django. So my question is: assuming that I am equally familiar with both python and the .NET framework but I do not know anything about Django or ASP.NET (with Visual Studio), is Django faster than ASP.NET ...
I was trying to raise a post back event by div tag. I don't know how to do that. AL I could think of is javascript, but that is not what I want. I need to call function of a class inside a event handler. ...
I have a web app on our intranet (VS 2005). There are a couple pages that don't require the user to be logged into the app (feedback and the default page). I am trying to get the domain and username to display and/or send with the feedback. Is there a way to do this without requiring the user to log in? I've tried this.Request.Server...
I have a Guid.NewGuid() call that is creating an Empty Guid. What would cause such a problem and how can I fix it? Edit: The code: <WebMethod()> _ Public Function CreateRow(rowValue As String) as String Dim rowPointer As Guid = System.Guid.NewGuid() Dim rowPointerValue As String = rowPointer.ToString() Try Dim r...
I have a site built with MVC Preview 2 and have not got around to upgrading to latest release, mainly because of the number of changes required and I have not had time. Anyway, last night my host installed .NET 3.5 sp1 and it killed my site. It is an identified problem (thats what you get for using pre betas) on this site http://haacked....
I have a few questions about when and how viewstate is encrypted in asp.net 3.5. For instance, if I have a machinekey entry in my web.config like: decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="AES" decryption="Auto" /> Is viewstate encrypted at this point? Or do I need to specify the viewStateEncryp...
We have an HttpHandler that deals directly with binary posts over HTTP from custom client software. The client software occasionally sends data which results in IIS 7 responding with a 400 - Bad Request. Since the "400 Bad Request" is special in that HTTP.SYS transparently handles it in kernel mode without notifying user mode of anything...
This case is going to sound complicated, but it's not that bad. The javascript at the end of this code seems to be sound. EDIT: Here's the page running on a live server. The first example doesn't alternate between open and closed because I ripped out a lot of code in order to narrow the example down as much as I could. http://69.64.80....
Existing code is using an asp:repeater to build an HTML table. (emphasis on the existing design). This is some partial pseudo-code to generate the table: <asp:repeater OnItemDataBound="ItemDataBound" ... > <headertemplate> <table> <thead> <tr> <td>Date</td> <td>Type</td> ...
Current project involves a series of PDFs in various sizes. Each PDF has a place for a logo. There are 50 or so possible logos. They are a consistent size, and, regardless of which PDF size, the logo does not need to be resized, just placed. The client currently just has a few PDFs but will be adding more on a regular basis. I am ...
How do you manage your database connections in your ASP.Net application? My understanding tells me the "best" way is to open a connection, make a query, close the connection - and do that multiple times because connection pooling makes the cost negligable. The problem comes when I have a DAL where each method looks after its own connec...
Visual studio 2005 comes with a project that lets you use the asp.net membership provider to look up, add, edit, and delete users and roles. It unfortunaltly can't be used online, and in order to have an adminiistration area in your site, it appears that you have to code your own admin interface. Is there an opensource, or free project...
I've inherited a legacy web application that has no unit tests in it. I'd like to add some, but am at a loss of where to start. Should I add them to old code? Or just new code going forward? What if that code interacts with legacy code? What would you suggest? ...
I've got a problem in that changing the way I'm doing Url Rewriting in an Asp.Net application has changed the IIS log files from looking like this: /page/ 80 etc.. /page/anotherpage/ 80 etc... to default.aspx page=1 80 etc... default.aspx page=2 80 etc... I'm a bit stumped as to how this happened. Is there a setting I'm missing (Win...

I am looking to implement (or build as a last resort) a type of survey engine that allows for extensibility and integration into an existing workflow engine. The survey/questionnaire engine should allow for admin users to add new questions and response types (text/bool/multiple/etc), should use SQL Server for persistence and ASP.NET 2.0...
I am writing a client-side validation function for CustomValidator and I need to check length of entered string. But before, to counteract cheaters a little, I want to remove all leading and trailing spaces from the string. What is the easiest way to do it in this scenario? Thank you! ...
My problem is that I want a grid that is populated with a set of times spent on tasks. It needs to have the days of the week at the top (these would preferably be fixed - i.e. Sun, Mon... Sat) and task names down the left column. The contents of the grid will have the individual hours spent for that day on that task. What would the be...
We have a semi-weird issue for our site. Consistently, from 1 anonymous* user the following error occurs: Exception type: System.FormatException Exception message: Invalid length for a Base-64 char array. After some investigation, it appears the user is using some form of load-balancing firewall, as the IIS logs shows the r...
