You're not likely to 'find' them, you're better off parsing them on the way in, during data binding.

You should never use the design view anyhow, it has always been rubbish.

Having said that, you should be able to see your pages in the design view, there's no reason why you would not.

handler is not getting called in mozilla and safari... [modified]

17-Jun-09 21:55

I agree.

Designing through design view means lots of unnecessary html styles which is just increases your page size.

hi...
In my application i created a generic handler an i called the generic handler in my page.. the code is given bellow

<asp:gridview id="GridView1" runat="server"
="" gridlines="Vertical" autogeneratecolumns="false">
<columns>
<asp:boundfield datafield="Video_Name" headertext="Name">
<asp:templatefield headertext="Video">
<itemtemplate>
<object id="player" classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A11DB153-00C04F79FAA6" height="170" width="300">
<param name="url" value="<%# "HandlerAudioVideo.ashx?id=" + Eval("id")%>" />
<param name="showcontrols" value="true" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />

but when i use this codes in mozilla and safari it does nt call the handler but when i use IE as my browser it gets called and the page is function as well...

how to prevent direct access to pdf file?

17-Jun-09 21:50

clsid can be accessed only through IE.

Use object tag for IE only...
For Mozilla or Safari use Embed Tags.

If the PDF is in your Website and on a aspx page, then its simple , because you have to check if the user has logged in first before a user can access the secure page. If you are not doing that, then you have to start doing it

Also if you dont want to create asp.net pages to check authentication, you can also use custom HTTPHandler for .pdf files.

On the contrary, Vuyiswa, it is not as simple as you explain.
I have encountered a similar problem before.
I think the original question was: "If a user knows the absolute url to a pdf, how can we prevent them from seeing it?"
Obviously, since the pdf files are most likely kept in a virtual directory of a website, opening them should not be a problem at all (if one knows the virtual directory and the filename).

The way I did it was, I kept the pdf files in a private folder and read them using System.IO, then through the application streamed them and eventually displayed them.

I have tried various things, but the way I did it seemed like the most reasonable thing to do, and, well, secure (hopefully).

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

Christian Graus17-Jun-09 21:50

The way I do this stuff, and the best way, is to have a http handler, which will not return the file ( whose actual path is hidden ), unless the link came from my site also.

Yeah, I failed miserably doing that. Wink | ;)

Gotta do some more reading on HTTPHandlers, it would seem.

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

Using http handler is a much simpler as Abhishek Sur said.

Abhishek Sur17-Jun-09 22:01

And also place the file in a directory which cant be found from the Virtual path, means dont place it inside a virtual directory.

Just get the file through the handler from an unknown location, (say C:\private)

That will do the trick .. Rose | [Rose]

after rendering aspx page the html shows in browser and if we see the source of the page then user can see raw html. if there is anyway as a result i can encrypt html content after rendering it to browser but browser can read and show the result.if i can encrypt then user can not understan what is written in my html due to security reason. if it is possible then please let me know in detail.

How to put java script....

17-Jun-09 21:37

I think it is not possible to encrypt your HTML.. as otherwise your browser will not render it correctly. Rather what you can do, is just strip spaces and new lines from the html so that everything will be rendered in a single line.

Do it in your custom handler. Also use GZip/Deflate compression to shrink the response.

s = Regex.Replace(s, "^\\s*",string.Empty, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline);
s = Regex.Replace(s, "\\r\\n", string.Empty, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline);
s = Regex.Replace(s, "<!--*.*?-->", string.Empty, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline);

Just use regEx replace to do your job easy in your custom StreamFilter.
Hope you understand.
