Hi,
I am a new user to ASP.NET and VS.NET and I need some help. I am also a new user to CodeProject as well.
I am trying to find a simple way to add a hit counter on a web page (ASP.NET and VB.NET) in VS.NET 2005.
I found this example "Fast ASP.NET Hit Counter with Full Digit Graphic File Support" By JediBaron.
I tried it but something goes wrong. I get this error on line 59:
Dim i As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(Request("src")))
I really cannot figure out what is wrong and how to correct the problem. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

This is off the top of my head.
In your global.asax do this
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Application("Hits") = 0
EndSub
Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'Lock the Application for concurrency issues
Application.Lock()
'Increment the counter
Application("Hits") = Application("Hits") + 1
'Unlock the Application
Application.UnLock()
EndSub
Than put this in your web form
<%=application("Hits")%>
times.

Also he needs to store the hit count in permanent storage, so that even if the application gets restarted, the value Remains..

Hi Abhishek Sur,
I do want to store the counter hits number in a data store, but cannot figure out how to do it.
I have created a test database (DbTest) in SQL Server 2005 with a Param table and a simple column, NbHits. I can connect to it and display the number on a page. That is it.
I would like my counter to be incremented every time a user visits the main page.
I would also like to know which way is best for a simple personal web site.
Do you know of some links where I could find some example?
Thanks.

Hi HarrissonB,
This is a great start, but the counter gets reinitialized to 0 every time. There must be a simple way to store it somewhere and read the value from this data source.
Now, I suppose there are many ways to store such a value, in a database (SQL Server, Access, etc.), in a text file or XLM file, and maybe some others.
For a simple personal web site, what would be the best way (KISS method)?
In a text file, would it be safe?
Thanks.

It will only get set to 0 when the web server is restarted but when the page is reloaded.

Hi HarrisonB,
The hit counter should never be reinitialized to 0, even when the server goes down. It should read its value from some data store where a start value could be set (<> 0) at the beginning.
I think I can find some code where a xml file can be used. I will look it up and give you an answer as soon as I can.
Thanks for your time.

Good morning, most of my work is generally client server so some of the basic ASP.NET questions are a pain for me, so forgive me if this is stupid.
I am trying to load an image on the event of clicking a cell in a gridview. The gridview has a button and I am calling the RowCommand to load the picture. The field for the image name is in the gridview, the code looks like this (Basically)
protected void gvRecords_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "View")
{
Int32 rowIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
string path = @"Images/Foo/images/";
string fileName = gvRecords.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[7].Text;
imgMyRecord.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath(path + fileName);
imgMyRecord.Height = 250;
imgMyRecord.Width = 250;
}
}
I have tried a static reference in the Mappath, but can't get the image to load. The possible caveat to this is that the "Images" folder referred to above is located on another server and is a virtual directory pointing to a UNC path. So I added the Virtual folder in the app folder pointing to \\server\folder.
Where is my issue? Is the setup of the virtual folder wrong or am I just plain old doing it wrong? Or both?

Examine the HTML source of your page and see exactly what ImageUrl is being created, debug from there.

I guess your css is not applying properly. Did you tested with all browser ?
If you are using FF, then install FireBug and test the CSS and all tags, or Copy the View Source of pages first time and then compare with second html code.
You will get to know the cause.

I would say this sounds like a session timeout.
Try to set a shorter time of period per session in web.config and try to confirm my suggestion.

Hello, On my local Dev machine I have developed a .net 3.5 (c#) web project (File System) and created the sql server 2005 objects i.e. tables. stored procedures, etc. All works fine. I have copied the database onto the Dev sql server. Now I would like to place the web site onto the dev server. Where do I start and what needs doing. Notice that I have developed the project using File System.
In addition, note that the .sln file is not present in the folder where I have the .cs and .aspx files.
Thanks

Are you talking about to deploy the web site on IIS Server ? or want to run in Dev Server in VS IDE ?
Please let me know. I will help you out.

Hi To All,
I am having a requirement to get the database values into an array list using javascript.
Can any one suggest me

Using JavaScript alone? You can't. Use Ajax or scriptable web service to access the database from your JavaScript
