QuestionGetting Started With Web DevelopmentmemberKevin Marois5-Mar-13 5:39 
I have 25 years of development experience - all of it Windows. I started with GB-Basic, then on to FoxPro/Visual Foxpro, and for the last 10 years I have been doing C# WinForms & WPF.
 
I want to start learning to do web development. I tinkered around with ASP.Net MVC 3 for a while, and that's about the extent of my experience.
 
I literally know next to nothing about web development. So where do I start? Can someone recommend decent entry level books or tutorials?
 
Many thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I don't know of any decent books, but W3Schools covers everything you need to get started: http://www.w3schools.com/[^]
AnswerRe: Getting Started With Web DevelopmentmemberDavid Mujica7-Mar-13 3:46 
I actually like the WROX books myself.

Glad to hear your making the jump to web development. My career stared with VAX/VMS Fortran programming and I continue to learn new things every day.
 
The folks here are extremely helpful, you can learn alot from this community.
 
Good luck.

QuestionAlternative datatype for identmemberantosnowin25-Feb-13 22:04 
I am converting sql stored procedure to sybase . i came cross some datatypes like
 
declare @mask ident declare @type ident declare @start varchar(max) . Ident and max vachar are not supported in sybase. What will be correct alternative datatype which i can use for sybase.

AnswerRe: Alternative datatype for identmemberDavid Mujica26-Feb-13 4:40 
In my experience a SQL identity has been an integer which is automatically incremented when a row is inserting into that table. Typically the identity column has been used as the primary key for the table.
 
Varchar(max) may be a text field in Sybase.
 
See if this is helpful ...

QuestionDyanmic drop down form ( Like Gmail's advance-email-search)memberhrishi32125-Feb-13 4:39 
Hello All,
 
Could anyone please help with suggesting the technique that I can follow to achieve the following.
 
I need to create a drop down form/division.. just like gmail-advance-search-option, where the drop down form pops up on clicking on a link.
 
Please note that my drop down division content is dynamic, ie must be sent by server dynamically (depending on a parameter which user selects previously).
 
Detail/example: So lets say user selects the option X and click on the buton/link to collapse the drop-down form. At this time, we should receive the form (belongs to the option X) from the server and client should display it. On click on submit, some search should be perform.
 
PHP is a must.
 
Could you please let me know the technique to achieve the same..Ajax/Jquery sounded helpful to me . but i have almost 0 knowledge on them . . . . An example or link would be highly appreciated.
 
Sorry if it sounds basic Smile | :) I am a new bee to web development.
 
Thanks

any help will be useful

AnswerRe: how to pass data in to nested usercontrolmvpSandeep Mewara24-Feb-13 20:16 
Expose public properties in the Usercontrols such that data assignment and accessibility is easily achieveable.
 
Once you have the properties in place, all you would need is to get the instance of the user control and then you can get-set that property value which internally can be set for controls in the UC.

QuestionWeb Development in MVC-Visual Studio 2012.memberBram van Kampen22-Feb-13 15:00 
Hi,
 
I am used to writing code in MFC/CPP(visual studio 97,which has excelent support facilities),and am trying to start a web app in MVC. Where do I find a reference about what is stored in each directory or File.Where do I find a reference about how it fits together. I do not want more tutorials about how to do things, but an overview of how this all fits together. Surely, Microsoft had a design spec readible to humans, when they wrote all this. Where do I find this level of info.

Hi,
 
I am migrating an application to ASP.Net,SQL, etc, from my own DB Format, written in MFC/CPP.
My own Order Record format (struct) contains an array of upto 31 entries. Each entry is a structure in its own right, containing Display Info such as Quantity,Description, Price,as well as info like 'Whodonnit', 'WhoCanEdit' WhenDone, and various other titbits of interest. In MFC/CPP I implemented this by simply declaring an array of these things inside my 'Table'structure. What is the agreed way of doing this in SQL.

QuestionCertificate Question [modified]memberAnalogNerd21-Feb-13 3:03 
I know nothing about Certificates other than they're used for SSL. I've never had to deal with client certs and I am completely lost.
 
We have a legacy app that requires a client cert. A new vendor is trying to connect to this application. They issued the cert and sent it to us, but I'b having some trouble getting it to work. I've got IIS set up correctly, based on the many articles I've read.
 
A basic understanding of certs is making this more difficult than I think it should be, so I'm hoping someone can answer some of my questions:
 
1. They issued a .cer file. When installd on my client maching I don't seem to have a private key with it. Should there be?
 
2. What's the difference between a .pfx and .cer? I've tried googling this and the textbok answers don't help. Can a .cer have a private key, or is that only in a .pfx?
 
EDIT: One more question.
The vendor sent us the client cert we should be using, it is issued by themselves. It's my understanding that I also need a Root cert from them to put into our Trusted Root store to go along with this, is that correct?

QuestionNeed guidance for file uploadmemberlisadmendez16-Feb-13 4:57 
I have over 15 years of basic webforms experience. I need to correct a site that completes file uploads written in 2006 with a basic basic HTML file uploader. Its issues include no response to the user on occassion. I've been reading about the BufferlessStream and the JQRY Valums uploader
 
Is there any possibility of the bufferless stream working with web handler and webforms? or is undertaking my first MVC the only option?
 
This is a new path for me and I'm finding the numerous branches of information a tad bit overwhelming. What is a good starting point?
 
Thanks for any advice
Lisa
AnswerRe: Need guidance for file uploadmemberovertech064-Mar-13 8:10 
There are definitely options out there that will work with web handlers and webforms. I use a modified version of the blueimp file uploader on a couple of my webform applications. It supports drag and drop uploading, multiple files at a time, chunked uploads for large files, progress bars, etc.
 
Do a search for "blueimp multiple file uploader" and check out the examples they have. Then if you have any specific questions I'll do the best I can to answer them.

No it wont work like that you may use google or other search engine to find "what is innovative to you" rather asking these kind of questions in forums.

QuestionMVC: Pass List<> between View and Controllermemberastuserp11-Feb-13 23:05 
}
 
Now, the question that I am wondering is why the List skills become null when it returns from the view, while it was passed with value before the view is shown.
 
Does anyone have any clue what I am missing? I really can not figure out why.
Thank you for any enlightenment that you may provide.
Dear Fellow developer. I am a newbie in MVC. Recently I try to perform the following:
 
//--- Model
public class Skill
{
public bool IsSkill { get; set; }
public string SkillStr { get; set; }
}
 
public class PageModel
{
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public List skills { get; set; }
}
 
//---Controller
public ViewResult UpdateSkills(int id)
{
PageModel model = GetPageModel(id);
model.skills = GetSkills(id);
return View(model);
}
 
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdateSkills(PageModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
List SkillStr = new List();
 
// ERROR: model.skills null
foreach (Skill rw in model.skills)
{
if (rw.IsSkill)
{
SkillStr.Add(rw.SkillStr);
}
}
}
// ... Other code are omitted
}
 

//--- View
<!-- Other are omitted --!>
 
@foreach(Skill rw in Model.skills)
{
@Html.EditorFor(m => rw.IsSkill) @Html.DisplayFor(m => rw.SkillStr)
AnswerRe: MVC: Pass List<> between View and ControllermemberBram van Kampen22-Feb-13 15:16 
well,I am very much a novice at this game. However, (and this may be wrong) your ListView info was passed to you via the server. You lost the connection (by Time-out),and your browser did not restore the page.This is both a good and bad thing.

GeneralRe: MVC: Pass List<> between View and Controllermemberastuserp24-Feb-13 15:20 
Thanks Bram,
 
I am quite confused actually.
When the Controller pass the data, the Username, Address and the list of skills are passed to the View properly. I can display them.
 
But when the view post to the Controller, the Username and Address is passed properly. But not the list of skill.
 
Do you have any idea on how to handle it? It is actually a header-detail type of data passed between View and Controller.

[My Latest Post]: How to extend a WPF Textbox to Custom Picker

AnswerRe: web developmentmvpRahul Rajat Singh5-Feb-13 19:21 
The idea sounds good. But I am not sure how much help you can get on the questions you asked. Its your project so you need to define the most of it.
 
But since it is a Browser it will a client application (possible Winforms or WPF).
Something like this: Web Browser in C#[^]
 
And you will have to have this application capable enough to be able to learn and act on voice commands.
Something like this: Speech Recognition[^]
 
Perhaps the combination of both these projects itself is your complete project. But I thought I should atleast point you in right direction so that you know that it is totally feasible project.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover.
