Hi Rex,
When a function in a web page can be reused somewhere else, then IMO that's a good candidate for refactoring, you may put this code in a common class so that you can easily reuse it without having to initialize a new instance of the web page.

asp.net 1.1. We have a user control named mhcuc in our project which has got two public properties and one method(which is actually used to access the property and attach javascript click event to child control) and it contains one linkbutton child control. We have two instances of user control in the same page. We have assigned property values for one instance and called method to attach onclick attribute and assigned this instance to another instance. But the first instance click works and not the second instance. Do you we need to assign in a different manner? The properties are seen in both the controls while debugging. Help needed

IMO, you may consider using the delegate to communicate between the user controls instead of assigning one instance to another.

Hello,
I am converting a DateTime variable to a string in RFC1123 format (RSS) using the following code:
Dim a As DateTime
a = DateTime.Now
Dim b As String = a.ToString("R")
It works.
Now I want to make the same but with a Date/Time field from an Access Database.
The problem is that is when I get the field it comes as string.
I tried to use String.Format(MyField, "R") but I still get the string date as "9/16/2006".
How can I solve this?
Thanks,
Miguel

If you really have a Date/Time field in the database, you don't get the value as a string, but as a DateTime value.
You have swapped the parameters in the call to the Format method, that might be the reason for your problem. The format string is the first parameter, and if you put your DateTime value there, it will be converted to a string and used as the format, and as it doesn't contain any formatting the result will just be that string.

b { font-weight: normal; }

Hi,
I really have a Date/Time in my database.
About the swapping I believe you are mistaken.
I tried String.Format("R", MyField) and I got R as a result of it.
Was this what you were talking about?
Thanks,
Miguel

That is because the "R" string doesn't contain any formatting either.
Try "{0:R}" instead.

Hello,
I have a string which holds a text.
Is it possible to create a substring which uses the first N words of
that string?
Thanks,
Miguel

private string GetWords(string Sentence, int NumberOfWords)<br />
{<br />
string[] Words = Sentence.Split(' ');<br />
int Length = Sentence.IndexOf(Words[NumberOfWords-1]) + Words[NumberOfWords].Length-1;<br />
return Sentence.Substring(0, Length);<br />
}

Interresting solution...
Try:
GetWords("This may come as a surprise, but the result is not as expected...", 10)
The result is "This".
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|

I got this solution:
string nWordStr = String.Join (" ", originalString.Split (' '), 0, N);
Thanks,
Miguel

Yes that would work. It uses a bit more resources than finding out how many characters you need and simply getting them, but at least the code is simple.
It's a bit less inefficient if you limit the number of items in the split rather than in the join:
string nWordStr = String.Join (" ", originalString.Split (' ', N));
This way the array that is created doesn't contain all the words in the text, only the words needed.
---
b { font-weight: normal; }

Damn, not enough testing. I just thought it up quickly.
This worked
GetWords("The Lazy Brown Fox", 2);
but i guess it should be
GetWords("The Lazy Coder didn't test well enough", 2);

Hi all,
I've noticed that almost all of you who do some kind of dynamic imaging in web applications use the System.Drawing namespace and it's descendants. Is it only me, or are the rest of you also closing your eyes real hard (while remembering to be extra careful about when and what to Dispise()... um... Dispose() in your app) when you come across the following text in the reference?
Caution: Classes within the System.Drawing namespace are not supported for use within a Windows or ASP.NET service. Attempting to use these classes from within one of these application types may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions.
Are they serious, or is this just to avoid having to support people who don't realize that they run in a server environment and don't program defensively enough? Does anyone have any real world experience of high-volume sites getting away with using System.Drawing? I have a couple of low-volume sites going, and as I normally only invoke System.Drawing each time I need a size or format I've never seen before (all old renderings from original images are cached to disk), it really never gets stressed, so it sort of doesn't count...

Hello there,
I've been working on a small Web Service for my school to allow me to create users in an Active Directory. What I've been doing as my - probably faulty - developing process is to create a Windows Application and when the code is working correctly, I copy it to my Web Service code, fine tune it, and it's ready to go.
But the odd thing here is that when my code creates a user in the domain through the WebService, it creates the user with its account disabled even when I have put code to explicitly enable the account. Yet, if I run the same exact code from the Windows App, it creates the user account enabled.
I don't know if it's a question that has been answered before, or if for some security reason that's the way Web Services create user account by default.
Oh! By the by, the Web Service is running on a machine with Windows 2000 Professional, with the .Net 2.0 framework installed an configured; whereas the app in which I tried the code runs on a Win XP machine. Both machines are members of my school's domain. Maybe that has to do with it.
private void addUser(string user, string name, string lastName, string password)<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
DirectoryEntry adUserFolder = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://10.32.62.9/CN=Users,DC=some,DC=domain,DC=here", "someuse", "somepassword");<br />
if (adUserFolder.SchemaEntry.Name == "container")<br />
{<br />
DirectoryEntry newUser = adUserFolder.Children.Add("CN=" + user, "User");<br />
<br />
DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(adUserFolder);<br />
search.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;<br />
search.Filter = "(&(ObjectClass=user)(cn=" + user + "))";<br />
SearchResultCollection res = search.FindAll();<br />
if (res.Count > 0)<br />
{<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
newUser.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value = useer;<br />
newUser.Properties["givenName"].Value = name;<br />
newUser.Properties["SN"].Value = lastName;<br />
newUser.Properties["displayName"].Value = name + " " + lastName;<br />
<br />
newUser.CommitChanges();<br />
<br />
newUser.Invoke("setpassword", password); newUser.CommitChanges();<br />
<br />
newUser.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value = 0x200;<br />
<br />
newUser.CommitChanges();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
catch (DirectoryServicesCOMException e)<br />
{ Console.WriteLine(e.Message); }<br />
catch (Exception e)<br />
{ Console.WriteLine(e.Message); }<br />
}<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I did some testing and realized that for some reason I still haven't figured out when the code is run from a Web Service the password is not even set. It is as if these lines did not execute:
newUser.Invoke("setpassword", password);<br />
newUser.CommitChanges();<br />
newUser.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value = 0x200;<br />
newUser.CommitChanges();
Like I said, this exact same code runs a-Ok from a Windows App, but not from a Web Service.

Okay, figured out my error. I was missing some impersonate settings on the Web App.  Solved now

Hi guys,
I have used following code
Response.AppendHeader( "content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + FilePath );
Response.WriteFile(FilePath);
Response.End();
to get the download dialog box for one file on my server. Can any body tell me how can i get the response (Whether user has clicked Open, Save or Cancel button)???
Thanks in Advance

I don't believe that you can. Thie "open/save/cancel" options are handled entirely within the browser and do not send any data to the browser. The job of the server is simly to send the stream to the client and be done with it. The browser is responsible for receiving the stream and then asking the user what to do with it, which requires no server interaction.

Is there any way to do same functionality?

I am using an ASP.NET 2.0 TreeView and was wanting to create different child TreeNode types for the different items that I am loading into the treeview. The idea behind this is that all I should have to do is check the node type when a node gets clicked and I can then respond accordingly. The problem, however, is that the child treenode I created that inherits from TreeNode gets reported to be a normal TreeNode type rather than the inherited treenode type when I use the typeof operator even though I instantiate it as the child TreeNode type. Am I missing something?
class Child1TreeNode : TreeNode
{
}
class Child2TreeNode : TreeNode
{
}
And then in the Page Load:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
Child1TreeNode node = new Child1TreeNode();
node.Text = "Hello World";
node.Value = "1";
Child2TreeNode node2 = new Child2TreeNode();
node2.Text = "Goodbye World";
node2.Value = "2";
TreeNode topNode = TreeView.FindNode("Top");
topNode.ChildNodes.Add( node );
}
}
And then in the event handler for node changed:
protected void TreeView_SelectedNodeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TreeNode node = ((TreeView)sender).SelectedNode;
if (node.GetType() == typeof(Child1TreeNode) )
{
}
else if (node.GetType() == typeof(Child2TreeNode) )
{
}
}
Thanks.

Hi there,
What you are missing is that you also need to extend the TreeView control and override the CreateNode method. This method is basically used on postback to recreate the nodes tree, and by default it returns the TreeNode type and has no idea about your custom Child2TreeNode.
|
|
|
|
|
Web programming has all those little gotchas. I never seem to get over that.
Anyhow, thanks for your help. Here's another question for you, though. How can I override the CreateNode method so that I can pass it an assortment of different objects that inherit from TreeNode and have them all retain their identity?
Thanks again,
-Matt

Here you want to use multi different types of the tree node such as Child1TreeNode, Child2TreeNode, so you need a way to determine which object should be created when the treenode is rebuilt on postback. And the ViewState comes to mind as an option when you can use it to persist the node type in order to recreate the tree node. However, when you create a tree node in the overriden CreateNode method in the custom treeview, the ViewState of the tree node has not been loaded yet, so you will do that as soon as the ViewState is loaded. In the CreateNode, you simply return the base class of your two node types, say ChildTreeNode, and you will replace this base node with the exact type after the node type is determined. Below is the sample code to demonstrate this thing:
public class ExTreeView : TreeView
{
protected override TreeNode CreateNode()
{
return new ChildTreeNode(this);
}
}
public class ChildTreeNode : TreeNode
{
public ChildTreeNode() { }
public ChildTreeNode(string nodeType) { m_NodeType = nodeType; }
public ChildTreeNode(ExTreeView owner) { this.m_Owner = owner; }
private ExTreeView m_Owner;
internal ExTreeView Owner { get { return m_Owner; } }
private string m_NodeType;
internal string NodeType
{
get { return m_NodeType; }
set { m_NodeType = value; }
}
protected override object SaveViewState()
{
object baseState = base.SaveViewState();
return new Pair(baseState, NodeType);
}
protected override void LoadViewState(object savedState)
{
Pair p = savedState as Pair;
base.LoadViewState(p.First);
NodeType = p.Second as string;
TreeNode newNode;
if (NodeType == "Child1TreeNode") { newNode = new Child1TreeNode(); }
else if (NodeType == "Child2TreeNode") { newNode = new Child2TreeNode(); }
else { newNode = new TreeNode(); }
newNode.Text = this.Text;
newNode.Value = this.Value;
ReplaceCurrentNode(this, newNode);
}
private void ReplaceCurrentNode(ChildTreeNode currentNode, TreeNode newNode)
{
TreeNodeCollection nodes;
if (currentNode.Parent == null)
nodes = currentNode.Owner.Nodes;
else
nodes = currentNode.ChildNodes;
int index = nodes.IndexOf(currentNode);
nodes.Remove(currentNode);
nodes.AddAt(index, newNode);
}
}
public class Child1TreeNode : ChildTreeNode
{
public Child1TreeNode() : base("Child1TreeNode") { }
}
public class Child2TreeNode : ChildTreeNode
{
public Child2TreeNode() : base("Child2TreeNode") { }
}
To make the sample code simpler, you may think of only using a single custom type instead of multi types to represent the tree nodes, and you can have an additional property to represent the node type. Doing so, you only need to recreate this node type in the overriden CreateNode method of the custom treeview.
Another option is that you don't need to create a custom treeview control and override the CreateNode method, what you need to do is to disable the ViewState by setting EnableViewState to false, and in the Page_Load you don't check the IsPostBack and leave the code to create the tree nodes outside the if statement.

Hello everyone:
I need to get some information about TableAdapters programatically. When I create a new instance of my DataSet like this:
<br />
DataSet ds = new DataSet();<br />
ds.ReadXmlSchema(MyDataSetFile);<br />
I can retrieve the information about DataTables but I dont see a way to retrieve information about TableAdapter. Any Ideas how to do it?
In an MSDN[^] article, it says to get to TableAdapter we will need a new instance of the TableAdapter and then it gives this example:
<br />
NorthwindDataSet northwindDataSet = new NorthwindDataSet();<br />
<br />
NorthwindDataSetTableAdapters.CustomersTableAdapter customersTableAdapter = <br />
new NorthwindDataSetTableAdapters.CustomersTableAdapter();<br />
<br />
customersTableAdapter.Fill(northwindDataSet.Customers);<br />
In my case I dont know which DataSet I will be working with untill runtime. Please help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Robert
