Hey all,
I need to force the broswer to raise a file download dialog box for specific files (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/260519[^]).
I have tried to search Google, and I found this link:
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2161[^]
Since I want to use this method (which works all the time - btw) in a dynamic way - where one page (download.asp) serves more then one file - I need query strings.
The problem is that is it unsafe to use when changing download.asp to accept query strings, because users can change the strings to download whatever files they want.
Any other ideas or alternatives will be appreciated.
Much Thanks.
Regards,
Zdr.

Verify that the path that comes in the querystring is in a folder where you allow downloads.
Or store the paths of the downloadable files in a database, and only send the id of the file in the querystring.

b { font-weight: normal; }

|
|
Or use session variables.
|
|
|
|
|
That, however, requires that you know what file is going to be downloaded when the previous page is created. If that page is used to select the file, you don't know what file the user will select.
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|
|
Use linkbuttons or regular buttons and do the Session.Add in the Click event handler.
Obviously this won't work with regular old html anchors or asp hyperlink controls.
|
|
|
|
|
And then do a redirect? Causes another roundtrip to the browser, but it works.

Yeah, its certainly not the best way... but it might be the easiest.

I have a window service which is using a web service.
Now the window service is calling a web service function after a particular interval, so eash time a new web service object is created.
Is there a way i can use a single object but since it's a web service function the problem is if i use a single object then it will retain the previous request values which i dont want.
Can anyone help?
Thanx in advance

Well,
I think that you have to keep in mind that the HTTP is a stateless protocol. This means that once a request is served tha server has no idea of where the next request is coming from.
Hence, every request will instantiate a different object...
Out of curiosity, how many requests does your system perform?
Make sure you kill all objects and database connections.

i thinking to put an ip address tracker on my site to track my visitor so i know where they from. how can i create it?
|

There are many ways to due this. In ASP.NET you can use Request.UserHostAddress to get the IP, then just log it somewhere. But it sounds like what you really want is the referrer which is the website that the visitor came from. You don't need their IP to get the referrer. It will be in your IIS log. Or, you can use a free service from sitemeter.com , statcounter.com, google.com/analytics which is what I'd recommend for you. They will provide you with a small script to put on each page of your site. I use Google Analytics myself, which will provide you with a lot of valuable data, referrer being just one of them.

Actually i was thinking to create my own counter cause i want to invisible the counter from visitor, but i able to see how many visitor have come visit my site and their ip , country from my server... do i need to learn JS or asp coding to create function like that?? if there is a free service have on this function that will be great.

How do you create IE add to favourites functionality, in ASP.NET webforms. I have an old ASP application but the CODE is unmaintainable so i am porting over to ASP.NET C# and i want to simulate this fucntionality. I was wondering was there an old Microsoft control for this like IE webcontrols? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I posted this in wrong forum earlier, my apologies.
My issue is I have a web form, that is a radio button list, each a different name (obviously), with a button below. I am trying to use SelectedIndex, with code behind the button, so that when a person selects one of the radio buttons, they are directed to a particular webpage. I just can't seem to find the right code to use behind the button_Click event.
I have been trying to use HtmlLink but I don't think that's right. Is there a web browser class name or attribute that I can use to send someone to a new webpage? Below are some screenshots, if they help any:

I'm not sure I get what you want, but if you want to redirect a user from the codebehind, you can use Response.Redirect("url");
Hope that's what you're looking for.

I believe user and name are reserved words.
Try [user] and [name] instead and see if it helps, everthing else seems ok to me.

You must buy:
1- domain name
2- Hosting support with ASP.NET
when you have a server you can upload all webpages into your server.
and test your website:
Ex:
http://www.yourdomainname.com

Utter UTTER tripe....
All you need to access ANY machine worldwide is an IP address (Firewalls permitting of course)....
To get someone to see your site, make sure firewall is configured to allow incoming traffic on port 80 (**PROBABLY**), then if you use http://localhost/mySite/Default.aspx, then just replace localhost with IP address of your machine and the port number if not 80 - like : http:192.1.1.1:80/mySite/Default.aspx
That should allow people to see your site OK - although Hy Channan is correct from the point of view of a commercial site, for just showing someone, there's no need for the expense (And even then, there are plenty of FREE ASP.NET / SQL providers that will give you a free sub-domain)

Does anybody know how to implement a dialogbox brought up by the Web Server? This is useful in cases where the server needs to inform a client that a certain condition has changed. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
Yu have to use client side code to do this - usual method is to code the dialog in HTML, put in in a DIV, then manipulate style.display and / or style.visibility to show and hide it....
If you ask the server to show a dialog / message box, it will - ON_THE_SERVER

I think the title says it all. I have been very successful playing around with an ajax sample to get it to retrieve a string from a web service, but i cant seem to figure out how to pass a variable to the web service, which would obviously limit it's usefulness.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
