What you have to do is that you tell IIS know which file is default one...

As of now I created one virtual directory and I mentioned default.aspx as default page. So right now I have to give minimum "localhost/arindamdt" so that it loads the application. But If i give only "arindamdt" browser starts searching in the internet.

Created virtual directory name "arindamdt" mapped to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebPage\default.aspx.

Please help.

Why I want to do it ?
Type spiproject in the browser you will get one web application is comming up to your browser. You just simply type "spiproject" nothing else.
Like that since I am devoloping one web application for myselt ( own web portal you can say ) and I want anyone typing "arindamdt" should be able to get the web application.
So my requirement is comming up from there. Smile | :)

Anxiously waiting for your suggestions and help.

I have no idea on this for now D'Oh! | :doh:

IMO, you have to specify which host that IE will know to access to. Let's say if your site is published on internet. And user just type in the web application name. DNS will try to find the web server whose name is the same as your application name.
Certainly, it'll be failed.

That's what I thought. Hope you can find a solution for this. If so, post it here

Thanx

In your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) you can add an entry. You will find localhost in the file, you can add any name you like in the same way. Then you add that name in the properties for your web site, so that the server knows what to show when you use that name.

This of course only works on your own computer. If you want a name that everyone can use you have to use a real domain name.

Re: By entereing a string load a particular URL in browser

I entered "10.0.101.104 debu" in the file(c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) you mentioned. (10.0.101.104 is my IP address).But then only thing has been changed that earlier I was entering "http://localhost/arindamdt" and now I am entering "http://debu/arindamdt" but I dont want to type more than one word to get the application in browser i.e. I want to type, suppose either "dubu" or "arindamdt" ( whichever can be ). And browser should be able to load the particular web application.
This is my requiremet.

Hope to get some more points.
Thanks ....

Put the application in it's own web instead of in a directory in another web.

I don't think you can do this-

even if you type microsoft into your browser it will try and search for the site (unless you have it in your cache) you always have to type something like localhost/arindamdt so your computer can find your application

hi to all,

merry christmas too Smile | :)

just wondering if someone can help me resolve this issue please?

i have the following code

    <%
      Hashtable items = CartItems;
        
      foreach(string item in items.Keys)
      {
        object[] vals = (object[])items[item];          
        int qty = (int)vals[1];
        decimal cost = (decimal)vals[2];          
        decimal total = (decimal)vals[3];
        string image = (string)vals[4];

        string pid = item + "_qty";
                                                
    %>  
    <tr align="center" valign="middle" class="artistType">
    <td>
    <img src="<%= image %>" width="<%= THUMB_WIDTH %>" height="<%= THUMB_HEIGHT %>" />
    </td>
    <td><%= item %></td>
    <td>$<%= cost %></td>
    <td>
      < asp:TextBox id="<%= pid %>" style="WIDTH:25px" maxlength="2" Runat="server"   
        <%= qty %>
      < /asp:TextBox >                                               
    </td>
    <td>$<%= total %></td>
  </tr>
<% } %>

i am getting error like

' cannot have <%...%> in server tag ' and
' <%= pid %> is not a valid identifier '

can anyone tell me how to achieve this please ?

btw i have spaced tag content so as to preserve formatting Smile | :)

Bloody hell. What you're doing is trying to use ASP.NET as if it was asp. Stop it now !!!!

What you need to do is buy a book on ASP.NET and learn how it works. For this specific task, a repeater is probably sufficient. That's a control that you can bind your keys collection to, and then define how to render one key, and it will do it for all of them.

ok i have that worked out, thank you for the direction.

however i have looked (book & google) on how to set a dynamic id to the textbox, so i can get the values on postback.

can you offer any advice on this issue please?

this is what i have now.

<ItemTemplate>
                                    <tr class="artistType" vAlign="middle" align="center">
                                      <td><img src='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"OrderSummaryImageUrl") %>' height="<%# THUMB_HEIGHT %>" width="<%# THUMB_WIDTH %>" /></td>
                                      <td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductCode") %></td>
                                      <td>
// this is where i want to set the id to the product code, so i can check its new quantity
< asp:TextBox AutoPostBack="True" id='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductCode") %>' style="width:25px;" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductQuantity") %>' runat="server" MaxLength="2" / ></td>
                                      <td>$<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductCost") %></td>
                                      <td>$<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductTotal") %></td>
                                      <td></td>
                                    </tr>
                                  </ItemTemplate>

Sorry, I was home when you posted all of this ( different time zone ). I'm glad you worked it out, and I have to say, your code took a quantum leap, which is great.

ok i have changed it back to a repeater, and i cannot get it to update now.

is this the same problem or similar that is listed here [ http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=197428 ] or is there another problem i am missing in my code?

< asp : Repeater id="cartItems" runat="server" DataSource="<%# orderSummaryDataSet %>" DataMember="OrderSummary1" >
< HeaderTemplate >
<table width=85% cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
<tr class="artistType" vAlign="middle" align="center">
<th> </th>
<th>Product Code</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Item Cost</th>
<th>Item Total</th>
<th>Cart Total</th>
</tr>
<tr class="artistType" vAlign="middle" align="center">
<th colspan="5">
 </th>
<th style="color:red;">
<%# CartTotal %>
</th>
</tr>
</ HeaderTemplate >
< FooterTemplate >
</table>
< /FooterTemplate >
< ItemTemplate >
<tr class="artistType" vAlign="middle" align="center">
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="code" id="code" runat="server" value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductCode") %>' / >
<img src='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"OrderSummaryImageUrl") %>' height="<%# THUMB_HEIGHT %>" width="<%# THUMB_WIDTH %>" />
</td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductCode") %></td>
<td>
< asp:TextBox AutoPostBack="false" id="txtQty" style="width:25px;" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductQuantity") %>' runat="server" MaxLength="2" / ></td>
<td>$<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductCost") %></td>
<td>$<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OrderSummaryProductTotal") %></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
< /ItemTemplate >
< /asp:Repeater >

and this is the btnUpdate click event for a single button that should update my dataset

private void btnUpdateCart_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
foreach(RepeaterItem item in cartItems.Items)
{
TextBox qtyCtrl = (TextBox)item.FindControl("txtQty");
HtmlInputHidden codeCtrl = (HtmlInputHidden)item.FindControl("code");

try
{
int qty = Int32.Parse(qtyCtrl.Text);
string code = codeCtrl.Value;
BasicCart cart = (BasicCart)Session["cart"];
cart.SetQuantity(code, qty);
} catch { /* TODO : fix this */ }
}
}

when i step i through the code, qty is the value before i change it in the form.

any ideas please ?, sorry about formatting, couldnt get it to preformat with tags

kind regards,

I believe you will have to bind the updated datasource again to get the updates reflected since the data are being set by binding it to the control.

jpeg image DPI property

MichaelBlane21-Dec-05 8:17

21-Dec-05 8:17

Is there a way to display the DPI (bitdepth) property of an image file such that it can be captured or displayed?

Okay, now the background of this:
I'm working on scanning family historical photos at home and, as part of the photo information, I want to capture what DPI I scanned the photos at. Some are 300 DPI, some 600 DPI, etc. I don't want to have to check the property page for each image (there are now ~600 images in the collection). I'd like to generate a way to do this via javascript/vbscript if possible, so that I can gather other information while writing the information to the database. I'd also like to keep the number of dependant programs to a minimum.

Thanks,
