How can i add a dll in to the tool box of visual studio? I am using frame VS 2003.where should i keep the dll?(in the root???)when ever i am trying to add dll in to the COM componenets it is showing the error : the dll is not recognised as a COM server...
can anybdy suggest a way.. ?

I guess the dll is not a COM dll. Is it a .NET dll, or a standard C dll ? If .NET, just add a reference to it. If standard, p/invoke it.

It is not a .net dll Frown | :(

(Its a downloaded dll)
what s the meaning in adding refference without integrating that dll in to the Project? how to invoke a standard dll in vs?
one more doubt,what is the difference in adding a dll and an exe in to a project? both ways are same? pls clear my doubts.

You can add a reference to a .NET dll, but not an exe.

This quetion need more discription
When you add a dll by adding the reference of that dll to your project a copy of that dll is created in bin folder of your application by default

You can't add exe directly to your project
Exe are self executable and dll are not

Hey guys

I am coming into a project and they are using the ASP.NET login control. Which I would never do Frown | :(

The problem is, we want to log in automatically based on a cookie. I have all the code working for this with one exception. I can't figure out how to bypass the actual login control. Any suggestions ?

What do you mean by, "bypass" the login control? Do you mean not even show it, or having it automatically submit?

Well, either way is fine by me, I don't mind if I can tell it to log in using the usual means, via a username and password I provide. However, I don't *need* it to do anything, apart from accept that I have already logged my user in. I tried to get it to log in programatically, but the password property is read only.

My cookie contains a GUID which is associated with a user Id in my database. From this, I am able to get all my user's data, and can perform all of my custom login, so all I really need, is to make it so the application knows I am logged in and redirects accordingly.

Thanks for your help.

Wow - turns out my assumptions were wrong. In fact, it turns out that this site would allow you to browse to any page you wanted, without first logging in. Adding some code to redirect users who are not logged in, and adding a Response.Redirect to my login code, worked just fine.

If you can view any page with logging in, what's the point of logging in?

*grin* beats me. Like I said, I just came onto this project. I have fixed that, you get redirected to the login now.

Hi,

I have a website with 9 ImageButton tags

<asp:imagebutton id="ImageButton1" cssclass="HomePageRowOne" runat="server" imageurl="~/Images/02-team_nav-on.jpg">;

etc....

my css file (which is working as when I change the width and height it alters at runtime) does not pick up the border attributes...if I apply them to the image tag in HTML all is fine but then I dont want them in my HTML.

CSS file:

.HomePageRowOne
{
border-style:solid;
border-right-style:solid;
border-right: white 10px solid;
border-left: white 10px solid;
border-bottom: white 10px solid;
border-top: white 10px solid;
height: 30%;
width: 30%;
float: left;
}

is there a different border command in CSS for ImageButton ?

Any help would be great...

CSS has no idea what imagebutton is. You should perhaps look at the source that's being generated to see what's happening, perhaps ASP.NET adds some attributes to the controls it uses to create an imagebutton by default.

Hi Christian,

I dont suppose CSS knows what any of them asp: xxxx="" mean but that doesn't stop it applying attributes to the tag, I have changed it to a asp:linkbutton and this puts the borders on fine but cannot set the imageurl in <asp:linkbutton>. Is there something about asp:imagebutton that doesn't work?

What I mean is, you need to look at what the tag is that's being generated, and try to work out from the source, what's going wrong.

you need to check 'Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)' if you want to paste HTML into your reply.

Thanks, good idea.

It's not taking the attributes on (not a shock really)

if anyone has any idea?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm trying to load a UserControl inside another UserControl using LoadControl in the "OnInit" event-handler of the page..
The problem is that if I clicked a button then pressed refresh for the page the event-handler of the button is automatically called again..
Any idea how to solve this??

Thanks a lot Smile | :)

PS. I'm using ASP.net 2.0

If you click a button and refresh then that always happens, regardless. The way around it is to do a redirect to the same page in the button click event and put any info you need to restore state on the URL.

Try using this

     <br />
DropDownList1.SelectedItem = DropDownList1.Items.FindByValue("Your Value goes here");<br />

Hi,

I coded an aspx page with drop down lists, when the user selects a value from the drop down list, my javascript code gets the selected values of drop down lists and reload the page with the values in the url. After reloading I want to show the selected values in the drop down lists, I couldn't understand how to this. for the moment I can retrieve the selected values of drop down lists. Here is my code with selected values. Any one please tell me.

lang = Request.QueryString["lang"];
viewType = Request.QueryString["view"]; // viewType may be List or Pic
sortBy = Request.QueryString["sortBy"];

if (viewType != null || viewType != "") //ddlView contains "List View" and "Pic View"
{
ddlView.SelectedItem.Text = viewType + " View"; // Here its changing the default value and I am having both values same in the drop down after execution of this statement.
}

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Try setting the text or selectedtext of the control. You're changing the text of the currently selected item, not actually changing which item is selected.

I have used the CreateUserWizard to create users. Does anyone know how i can let users edit their details such as email....

many thanks

An ASP.NET web site is supposed to be deployable simply by dropping the aspx and config files on the server, which will invoke the compiler if a page has not yet been compiled etc. Is is possible to define the target Framework, i.e. 2.0 instead of 3.5, without using Visual Studio?

Definitely possible. All the files that you need to compile an application are text files. You can write everything in Notepad and use the command line compiler if you like.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Thank you, but maybe I should have phrased my question better. I already suspected this, but I wanted to know where to set the target framework in these text files.
