Ok, so I've got a web service that I want to hide the auto-generated wsdl help page. According to the MSDN page here[^] the following code will redirect any browser-based request for the .asmx page:
<webServices>
<wsdlHelpGenerator href="/blank.htm" />
</webServices>
However, when I put this in the System.Web element of the web.config and request the .asmx page, instead of getting blank.htm I get a HTTP 404 error saying the .asmx file has been moved or doesn't exist.  That's not supposed to happen. Anybody know what's going on and how to fix it?

blank.htm
does this page exist in your website?

While that's the obvious question, yes it does exist. What's even more ineresting is if I use blank.html instead of blank.htm I get a different error about no build component specified for blank.html.

Shouldn't this:
<protocols>
<remove name="Documentation" />
</protocols>
Be in between the webServices tags:

This is one of the options we could use. This approach though disables auto-discovery of the WSDL by consumers of the web service. If I wanted to use this, then I would have to provide a custom WSDL to any consumers of the web service.

does your blank.htm exist on the same level, as in are they BOTH in the root folder?
if so, you should remove the slash before the blank.htm in the web config.
change to this:
<webServices>
<wsdlHelpGenerator href="MyBlank.htm"/>
</webServices>
not this:
<webServices>
<wsdlHelpGenerator href="/MyBlank.htm"/>
</webServices>
IF that slash isn't what's creating the location problem...then I'm all out of ideas

They are in the same root folder. I tried it both ways, with the slash and without. It didn't make a difference. Hopefully I can figure this out tomorrow. It's for a demo app that was supposed to be finished Monday afternoon. There's nothing like being given less than 8 hours to create two full-featured demo apps. I got one finished, this is all that's holding up the other one.
Thanks for your help though jgasm. If I get this sorted out tomorrow I'll come back and post the resolution.

Okay I got it.
This is my web.config in a brand new asp.net app.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
-->
<configuration>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings/>
<system.web>
<webServices>
<wsdlHelpGenerator href="blank.aspx"/>
</webServices>
<compilation debug="true"/>
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
I changed it to a .aspx because the .htm and .html have issues out of the box basically. Where as the web server knows how to render the .aspx.
The location bar will not change. It will still show the address to the service. The page that loads up in the services location is the blank.aspx.
I just changed it from htm or html to aspx and this has worked when you go directly to my web service file service.asmx
-----------
when using a .htm the web config needed additional handlers to know what to do with the .htm which is why i changed it to aspx because i dont see why it would matter as long as the user sees the correct content.

Thanks a bunch for this jgasm. This worked perfectly. I would have posted this earlier, but I'm not allowed to post to this site from work. I can read all day long, but can't post.

I am having problems getting this to work. I have it where it inserts the data from some text boxes above. So It Inserts and Deletes just fine.
When it comes to updating and search for in between dates I have problems.
Ok in the dialog for the update command it has the command for updating the fields. So when you click update in the grid view where are the commands that make it update? It will not update. When you change something and click UPDATE it just goes right back to what it was.
Also how do I search for between dates? I have two text boxes and set the
SQLdatasource1.SelectCommand = String.Format("SELECT * From [Clipboard] WHERE [Date] Between {0} AND {1}", txtBeginningDate.Text, txtEndDate.Text);
Now when you enter 05-05-2008 in the text boxes and hit my SEARCH button it says: Failed to convert nvarchar to int. Where is it converting to INT? I have it set to nvarchar???
BTW I am using MVS 2008 Pro, and I am not writing a lot of these commands. It is generated for me but I can't seem to get it to do those things.

well let's take this one at a time.
first:
the date format issue.
Are you sure you don't need to do some kind of
Convert.ToDateTime(txtBeginningDate.Text) in order for the STRING in that text box to convert to DateTime? beause right now it is trying to take a set of characters and do something with them.
*You can only search legit by date when the field in the database is a DateTime field.
On your update command in the gridview make sure you have the Where clause set correctly. As in Update [tablename] Set [column name] = value WHERE id = ?
Does that make sense?
Check the update parameters in the gridview code to make sure it's using all the necessary ones. And by that I mean the where clause should use a column that identifies that record only.
Here's some help, could be quite a few things...if you want to narrow it down a bit

Ok I see what you are saying.. but won't Convert.ToDateTime insert time to? I just need the Date. Also I do not have any parameters set up in the update. When someone clicks the update in the column (Update) next to the row (this is all built into the gridview) how do I specify what it is updating?
|
|
|
|
|
Well I guess if I still convert the users input (after setting a validation like \d{2}\\d{2}\\d{4}) it will still convert and do the calculation right. Because if you don't specify a time it will input 12:00:00 AM for you.
Also here is what I have for the update:
UPDATE Clipboard SET County = @County, Type = @Type, Date = @Date WHERE (IncidentNumber = @IncidentNumber)
|
|
|
|

so in your datasource you need to specify under the "Update Parameters" section each one of those
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="county" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="type" Type="Int32" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Date" Type="DateTime" />
</UpdateParameters>
make sure the parameter datatypes match the sql data types.

Well one way to do this is to in the asp:Gridview tag code you can add
DataKeyNames="[id column name here]"
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="lvl1_id"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None">
This will make whatever you put in that for a column the way gridview identify records. So if you're records have an ID column, it should be that. This is probably the method I would use.
AND make sure your datasource has an update parameter set:
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="lvl1_name" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="lvl1_id" Type="Int32" />
</UpdateParameters>
This is part of the DataSOURCE code. See the update parameters....in the SQLDataSource, this is where you can set it up. what this is saying it take the text box for lvl1_name and the lvl1_id for that record and perform a sql update. So if it's not updating, I would say it's because your datasource code in the .aspx is missing those update parameters. I will include a datasource next.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:blahblah %>"
DeleteCommand="UPDATE [bmj_level1] SET [enabled] = 0 WHERE [lvl1_id] = @lvl1_id" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [bmj_level1] ([lvl1_name]) VALUES (@lvl1_name)"
SelectCommand="SELECT [lvl1_id], [lvl1_name] FROM [bmj_level1] WHERE [enabled] = 1 ORDER BY [lvl1_name]" UpdateCommand="UPDATE [bmj_level1] SET [lvl1_name] = @lvl1_name WHERE [lvl1_id] = @lvl1_id">
<DeleteParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="lvl1_id" Type="Int32" />
</DeleteParameters>
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="lvl1_name" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="lvl1_id" Type="Int32" />
</UpdateParameters>
<InsertParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="lvl1_name" Type="String" />
</InsertParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

<asp:sqldatasource id="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" connectionstring="">"
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Clipboard] WHERE [IncidentNumber] = @IncidentNumber"

SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Clipboard]"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE Clipboard SET County = @County, Type = @Type, Date = @Date WHERE (IncidentNumber = @IncidentNumber)";
<deleteparameters>
<asp:parameter name="IncidentNumber" type="Int32" />
</deleteparameters>
<updateparameters>
<asp:parameter name="County" type="String" />

DELETE and UPDATE do not work.... uhmm

In your <asp:gridview> code in there add this:
DataKeyNames="IncidentNumber" like this:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="IncidentNumber" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" GridLines="None">
now try it.

Ok now my time search isnt working...
You enter lets say: 1/1/2008 and 5/5/2008 and click a button.. here is the command:
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = String.Format("SELECT * FROM [Clipboard] WHERE [Date] Between {0} AND {1}", Convert.ToDateTime(txtBeginningDate.Text), Convert.ToDateTime(txtEndDate.Text));
But I get an Incorrect Syntax at 12?

in the sql server. in the "Clipboard" table...what is the data type of the "date" column...
actually change of plans try this.
SELECT * FROM [Clipboard] WHERE [Date] < {0} AND [Date] > {1}
or
SELECT * FROM [Clipboard] WHERE [Date] > {0} AND [Date] < {1}

Hey! Yes I have the Date column set to: DateTime.
It actually wants the Date and the Time but I am fine with that.
It doesn't have an option for just the date.
Anyways what I did was that I forgot the: " ' ' " between the beginning and ending dates.
Like I did it like this: Where [Date] Between {0} AND {1}
and it should of been: Where [Date] Between '{0}' AND '{1}'
it works though. thanks!

hi Jacob Dixon,"Ok in the dialog for the update command it has the command for updating the fields. So when you click update in the grid view where are the commands that make it update? It will not update. When you change something and click UPDATE it just goes right back to what it was." for this please check the isnotpsotback property is given in Pageload event or not .

jgasm had me do something and it works great now. It was a DataKeyName value in the GridView code. I didn't have one set when I should of had it set to my ID Column.
As for the date/time thing I have figured it out. Thanks!
