This is basically what I'm trying to do now...

<asp:repeater id="ImageRepeater" runat="server">
<headertemplate>

<itemtemplate>

<footertemplate>

Upload Image?	Image Preview	Image Description
<asp:checkbox id="chk<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, " simagedesc")="" %="">" runat="server" Checked="true"/>	" alt=""/>	<asp:textbox id="txt<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, " simagedesc")="" %="">" runat="server">

This gives me a "Server tag is not well formed" error. I get that error from the "<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "sImageDesc") %>" code where I'm trying to assign the control id's name dynamically.

Re: I guess this means I am the only one trying to do this?

Setting values to a UserControl

I have created a usercontrol having a dropdownlist together with other functionality. I need to set the selectedindex of the dropdown from the values saved in the database. Although the value is passing successfully to the set value, however am not seeing the values shown in the dropdownlist. Any ideas? Following is a snippet of my code;

Private _selRequest As Integer

Public Property RequestValue() As Integer
Get
Return _selRequest
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
_selRequest = Value
Me.drpPersons.SelectedIndex = _selRequest
End Set
End Property

Hi,
try checking the page load event of your page that is using this control. see if u have if(!IspostBack) in your page load. or
try to add a public function to set the dropdown in the control.(set property should would be same but still u can give a try)

Exposing Enums from a Web Service

I'm writing a web service in .NET that will expose Enumerations to the caller. I know this is possible, I just want to know if it's a good idea. I want to make it inter-operable with other systems, so would exposing an enum work ok? Specifically it will expose a custom object that has an enum inside it as a public property. Many thanks!

PS. to see the web service in action visit http://www.dominicpettifer.co.uk/coolApps/whereAmI.aspx[^]. IP Location mapping, not very accurate though.

I have created a public custom class which I exposed through a web service before and have not experienced any problems with it. As long as you make sure that you are not exposing sensitive data, you should be okay. About making it inter-operable with other systems, I am not sure. I've never tested that, but in theory I believe it should work.

Hope this helps you.

Connection string in web.config file

Hello,

VS 2005 SQL 2005

I would like to change the connection string dynamcially during program run-time. But get the code to work. There is no run-time errors and the code compiles ok. However, the code does not let me get the connection string, and I would like to update the connection string at run-time.

This is my code in the web.config file.

<br />
<connectionStrings><br />
			<add name="ServiceMasterConnectionString"				   <br />
			connectionString ="data source=dev01; initial catalog = serviceMaster; user id=; pwd="<br />
			providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/><br />
	</connectionStrings><br />

The code in my website that is used to retrieve the website is as follows:

<br />
imports system.configuration.configuration<br />
<br />
 Dim rootWebConfig As System.Configuration.Configuration<br />
        rootWebConfig = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/Incidents/")<br />
        Dim connString As System.Configuration.ConnectionStringSettings<br />
        connString = rootWebConfig.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings("ServiceMasterConnectionString")<br />

incidents is the folder that contains the web.config file. That has a virtual path in the IIS.

Can anyone correct if I have done anything wrong in the code above,

Many thanks in advance,

Steve

You might want to reconsider placing the configuration information in another database or XML File rather than the web.config.

Also when you change web.config, the application resets and will want to recompile.

ASP.NET will not help you because that is a technology for web applications. ADO.NET is that part of the .NET Framework that deals with databases.

With ADO.NET you can issue pretty much any commands that the underlying database understands. So you can use OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() to issue CREATE TABLE commands. You will need to look up the MS Access reference for details of what SQL you need to perform these actions.

Hi,

I am quite OK with using the System.Drawing class to create an image on the fly, but if I want to save it as a .gif image, how do I create/define/set the colour palette to avoid horrible dithereing if I use anything other than "standard" colours?

Any pointers gratefully appreciated
thanks
Fred

Hi,
error : Must declare a variable @userid
when column propert visible is false is correct.
Since in visual 2005 if column in visible false then data is not binded to that column.
Sol: To avoid this problem make visible false of column in RowCreated event of grid. This will solve your problem.
hope this helps.

Cheers! Anil

Setting order of HTTPHandlers

Does any one know if there is a way to set the order in which HTTPHandlers are called? Or is it determined by the order in which they appear and are rendered on the page?

Hi Mark,
MSDN says about the httpHandlers Element[^]:
"The <httpHandlers> settings are inherited by the application subdirectories.

The <add> directives are processed in top-down, sequential order. If two or more <add> elements specify the same verb/path combination, the final <add> overrides all others."

So, IMHO you can put the handler down on the list if you it to run.

Beautiful URLs

Aloha,

I'm porting a Wordpress (Linux blog/CMS) based system to ASP.NET. Many of the articles in Wordpress have URLs like www.domain.com/santa-claus.

How do I handle requests to such URLs in ASP.NET. We have ported the data, but our ASP.NET pages have URLs like www.domain.com/article?id=234

I'm considering implementing an IHttpHandler that transforms the requests with the help of a database query (table with Wordpress/ASP.NET matches).

Is that the correct thing to do?

Thank you, Mads

Great, thanks. I'll definately take a look at that one.

Currently my attempt looks like this (no IHttpHandler stuff), it works, but there might be a best practice I don't know about...

<br />
    protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
    {<br />
        // Check if request contain virtual adress, so we should redirect<br />
        string requestPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.Path.ToLower();        <br />
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(requestPath) == false)<br />
        {<br />
            if (requestPath.Contains(".aspx") == false)<br />
            {<br />
                // Look up and see if this is an adress that should be redirected<br />
                int accountItemId = <Database Call><br />
                if (accountItemId > 0)<br />
                {<br />
                    string convertedPath = "Article?Id=" + accountItemId.ToString();<br />
                    HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(convertedPath);<br />

Link Grammer:

Wordnet:

The Link grammer project is available as a C code+ VC++ code + a API in C# as a console application.

Can anybody help me about this.

Thank You.
