Thanks for ur reply sir...

But i dont understand ur answer.

So can u give me solution for that problem?

you have a string, and you want to change it's format, so you need to take the string and reorganise it. use the split method to split based on the / then reorder the three items you get back, to get the format you want. Or just use int.tryparse to get the ints and build a date time from there, if that is what you need.

Except for mashing, there is a nicer way:

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; //replace with your datetime.<br />
string mmddyear = dt.ToString("MMddyyyy");

see for more options: http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/View00FF7904-B510-468C-A2C8-F859AA20581F.htm[^]

Sorry for that previous post,was only a partial answer. Here is the complete answer

//Get input, parse it correctly.
string input  = "31/12/2005";
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(input, "dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US").DateTimeFormat);

//Show output in our format:
string output = dt.ToString("MMddyyyy"); // will give us 12312005

Hi,

I have a login page which takes the username and password and connects to the Oracle database. The login details are same as oracle db login details. If the user attempts 5 invalid logins to the application, the user id gets locked in both the application and the database. However, if the user is typing the same wrong invalid password consecutively for 5 times, the user id is not getting locked in the database. This means for the same set of userid and password, the post back is not working. Can you please explain and give a solution? We are using ASP.NET 1.0 with VB.NET. Thanks in advance!

Regards,

why would it ? I mean, it's still one attempt,right ?

I guess this means some component is doing this, it's not your own code ?

Hi
I am using the following statement:

cmdSearch.CommandText = "select doctitle, filename, characterization, hitcount from SCOPE
('" /dotNet "') where FREETEXT ( '" + searchText + "') ";

but it is showing an error for /dotnet, it has a problem with the /
How can I edit the query so it allows the /, is it a banned character so to speak

thanks

/ is used as an escape character. For example /" is how you put quotes in your string. Putting a @ at the start of the string turns these off, and will fix your code. Or you can use // to escape a /.

I am using the article below
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/IndexingServer.aspx

and trying to include the following line:

FROM SCOPE(' SHALLOW TRAVERSAL OF ("/", "/Help") ')

but it wont allow me to add it as it says there is a syntax error, why would this be?

thanks!

string selectintranetquery = "select doctitle, filename, vpath, rank, characterization, hitcount
FROM SCOPE(' SHALLOW TRAVERSAL OF ("/", "/Myfile") ') where FREETEXT(Contents, '" + searchText + "') order by rank asc ";

for the reason I told you, but in reverse. C# can't tell when you mean a " to be in the string, because you're not escaping it.

string selectintranetquery = @"select doctitle, filename, vpath, rank, characterization, hitcount
FROM SCOPE(' SHALLOW TRAVERSAL OF (""/"", ""/Myfile"") ') where FREETEXT(Contents, '" + searchText + "') order by rank asc ";

note that you use "" to get quotes when using @.

No, it's not. You are thinking of the backslash character: \

Hi friends

I have a page where an is present.
Am setting the src of this image dynamically.

If img1.src = "" or empty, i dont want the cross ('X') symbol to be displayed.
Instead, some image which gives some meaning should be displayed.

Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks!

You can't. You need to set the src to the image you want to show. binarywrite only works to send an image through a http handler if you want to show more than just the image.

Hi,

I have category list in HTML page. when I click on computer category, sub category of computer will be display on HTML page.
e.g.
computer->Intel

Like above there are 4-5 categories under computer. Also there are some main category like cameras,Gifts etc.

Every time when I click some category static HTML page of subcategory called and in that static page bottom of the page string like above(computer->Intel) is display.

This all happening in HTML page.

Now I want to pass computer->Intel string to .aspx page.

How can I do this?

Thanks

You need to put the values on your link, and read them off the query string.

1.Passing the value through query string
2.If the action is mapped to the aspx page in your HTML form then you can access the fields through Request object in your aspx page.

i.e something like this..

...

3.I think it can be passed through session also ...but I'm not sure!! Google it.

3 - no. How would a html page put something in the session, which is on the server ? It would have to be turned in to an ASPX

As i said earlier I'm not sure about it...Thanks for confirming it Smile | :)

Actually long back I've read an article about it so i was little apprehensive.

Possibly an incomplete read of the article. That article should have guided you a postback to the server either through an hidden form or XmlHttp to an ASPX page that does the saving the data to a session store.

Hello!

I´ve got a number of validators on a page. I display the errormessages they generate in a ValidationSummary-control. I dont want the actual errormessage to show twice, so I´ve got property Display set to None on all the validators. Problem is this:

Im in a textbox with a requiredfieldvalidator pointed at it. I press enter, and nothing happens. No error message in the summarycontrol, no nothing. If I remove the Display=None from the validator I get the errormessage, but only in the validator not in the summary. I´ve got EnableClientScript set to trueon my summarycontrol, shouldnt I get the errormessage there right away? Not I´ve got to press a button or something in order for the errormessage to show there.
