Looks to me like you need to give full security access to the database for the IUSR_* ID.

Paul,

Thanks very much. I knew it had to be something fairly simple Blush | :O

To get it working I simply added the IUSR_ account to the Domain Admins group, but surely there's a more secure way?

Yeah, that's a pretty dubious way of doing it, you've just given your web page permission to do pretty much anything Big Grin | :-D

The more secure solution is to have your db in a sub folder of your web page and give IUSR_* full access to that folder (and obviously all it's contents).

Not sure how to do that on NT4 but I'm sure you can. Start by right-clicking on the folder, going into Properties and looking for a Security tab.

Hello All,
I've made a simple web service in Visual Studio ASP.Net.
Problem is that I can't view a simple web service with a simple 'HELLO WORLD' WebMethod. When I see the .asmx file in browser instead of show the web service, it shows me the download dialog for download the .asmx file... What's wrong?

Please help urgently!! Cry | :((

Thank you.

Have you installed the .NET Framework correctly? If yes then check IIS and make sure ASMX files are one of the accepted extensions. We had some problem with ASP.NET where a virtual folder lost all references to any ASP.NET files, had to manually put them back Smile | :)

On my system it is: C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\aspnet_isapi.dll

That is a W2K server box running IIS5.0. Windows XP would be something like C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\aspnet_isapi.dll

Also make sure your Verbs are set to: GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG. Not "All Verbs."

Though I must stress that there are tons of files (must be 25 in front of me at least) and they all have various settings. So a re-install of ASP.NET is probably best, rather than doing it manually (we could not re-install otherwise it would have interrupted our hosting services, we did it manually but eventually we will do it "properly" in case something was missed.)

I have to admit I honestly do not know. We had the problem but never found the cause of it. We simply had to look at a "working" ASP.NET virtual dir and manually redo the extensions. Real PITA.

ok...i've found the way to resolve my problem: to those who can be interested in it i've found the file that register all the ASP.NET extensions in the IIS. Sometimes the .NET installer doesn't do his job well and it not register the ASP.NET extensions in the IIS. When it occurs, we have to use the following file: In .NET Framework directory (by default c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\ there is the file that is called : aspnet_regiis.exe

And...that's all. All the extensions (.aspx, .asmx, .asax, .ascx, etc...) have been registered!!!

Enjoy!

Hey Guys,

I am using ASP to load some data from a xml file via xsl. Now i need to sort this data, i know i could use the xsl:sort element but i need a dynamic one, which the user can change. So the user will have the possibilty to sort the data in different ways.

Is there any such function ?
Any suggestions ??

Thanks

Datagrid layout

Uncle Monkey26-Aug-02 2:42

Uncle Monkey

26-Aug-02 2:42

I wish to create a page which has similar functions to the datagrid but with one main difference. Each record keyfield is displayed from a database which when clicked loads that record in another page.

The main difference is that I since each record will be only 1 item I would like to show more than one record per result row.

[record1] [record2] [record3]

[record4] [record5] [record6]

[record7] [record8] [record9]

Is this possible with datagrid or any of the other data controls (repeater,datalist etc) ?
or
Could I inherit the datagrid and override a method to achieve this effect?

I would prefer to avoid coding it from scratch unless there really is nothing existing that can do the job.

Thanks

It ain't what you know that matters.

javascript for Mac IE ?

Hello all,

I am using javascript for client side validations and form submission in certain web pages I am developing. I have added code to submit a form, on pressing the "Enter" key. The code works fine in IE and Netscape. But unfortunately the code is not working in Mac IE. Can anyone throw light on this issue ? What are the precautions to be taken when writing client side javascript for Mac IE ? Is there a way to detect IE Mac version and add special code as we do for Netscape ?

Thanks,
Smitha

It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money.

Yes you can look for MAC in the Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") string to detect if you are on Mac or not. Then you can look for the IE and Netscape identifiers for more profiling.

Tweety wrote:

Try this code, works fine on my Mac. If it does not help then post your offending code and I will have a look. I am trapping the enter key on the TEXTAREA element using the keypress event. You can put it on almost any other element and use keydown or keyup instead.

<html>
    <head>
        <script language="javascript">
            <!--
            function validate(){
                // Do validation
                return true;
            }
            
            function submitform(){
                // Get window event
                e = window.event;
                // Keycode for Enter is 13. If enter then submit form, otherwise continue
                if (e.keyCode == 13) document.frmMacTest.submit();
                return true;
            }   
            -->
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form action="mactest.asp" onsubmit="return validate();" method="post" name="frmMacTest">
            <input type="text" name="txtName" id="txtName" value="Your name..." /><br />
            <textarea name="txtDesc" id="txtDesc" onkeypress="return submitform();">
                Decribe yourself...
            </textarea><br />
            <input type="submit" name="cmdSubmit" id="cmdSubmit" value="Submit" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

Should not be anything major, not unless you are doing "low level" stuff. Though Mac IE does seem to be less forgiving than PC IE (which is a good thing.)

	var isIE = document.all?true:false;

	if (isIE){

	else{			
		cond=(event && (kcode == 13 || kcode==1));

			document.addelec.submit();
			return true;
		}
		else
			return false;
	}
	else

}

And I call it as :-

<input type=button value="Subscribe" onClick="return subscribe(event,this.form)">

This code works fine in IE and Netscape.

Well I am not sure about what you are trying to do actually. Why detect for a ENTER key-event when it is on a button which already accepts ENTER? What are you trying to do? Stop people using the mouse to subscribe?

Anyway, your code works fine on my Mac (no modifications except commenting out the function and element calls I don't have.) I am running IE5.0 on Mac OS 9.0.

Using Interdev on with localhost?

Hi,

This is probably a really stupid question. I've set up IIS under XP to point at another folder other than wwwroot (not that it should matter). Then using another account (with non-admin priveleges), I'm trying to use Interdev to create a 'solution' and edit my site locally, except Interdev is refusing to do it and giving some error message (which isn't all that helpful). What am I missing out on? The usual searches have drawn a blank so far...

Cheers,

Barry.

Who'd think MS stuff works straight out of the box eh?

Aish, you need to give the ASP.NET Debugger user the neccesary rights. I can't remember the details, but go to MSDN.microsoft.com and search on that topic, it is all there. By default the user is not all-powerful so as to tighten up security.

You do not need to reinstall the .NET Framework or ASP.NET or anything, just the users rights.
