3) Do you really want a would be freelancer beginner to do this project?

3) .NET Framework installed (for VS 2003 1.1 or later, for VS 2005 2.0 or later)
4) A web site set up in IIS
5) An FTP account set up to access the web site

FTP works fine. You can make Visual Studio deploy directly to the FTP site.

Yes. And What version?

If he already has a intranet accessible by all employees, your application can be linked into to the homepage. Else, if you want your application to have a separate URL accessible over www, you need a domain.

s FTP method the best means to deploy the web applicaion to IIS, once development is complete on my machine?

FTP is OK. But if you're using VS professional, you can use the "Publish" feature to deploy your application. The "Publish" feature is quite comprehensive and covers almost everything related to deployment of a web site.

Additionally.

3) What version of .NET does your client have? If he's 1.1, would he consider upgrading to 2.0?
4) How're you going to manage security? (Authentication and authorization). I dont believe that he'll want the users to remember an additional username and password for your application.

And as for your proposition, a windows application developer can quite easily get lost when developing web apps. You must be ready for some quantum shift in your thinking.

All the best!

1)If i am using VS.NET 2005 for development with IIS 5.1 what is the minimum required version of IIS that shud be installed in the prod server?

That technically wont matter. But I'd reccomend IIS v6.0. You'd have some configuration issues when you first try to run a ASP.NET site built in .NET 2.0 when you're using IIS 5.x.

2)How would i able to ask him whether he has an intranet?

I'm sure his office will have an IT dept. Maybe you can get this clarified from them. Anyway, deployment is the last of your problems, and it wouldn't impact your design or development in any way.

why I am doubting is that the app to be devloped is for just 10 to 12 users located worldwide and no prospective users for now

Hmmmm....this requires a public URL, so maybe they access over the internet.

If there is an intranet then i assume windows authentication will suitable, am i right?

Not necessary. Windows authentication requires Active Directory. If their network has different platforms like unix, windows, macs etc, AD would have been ruled out. Also, if they access the site over internet, Windows Authentication can be ruled out. So clarify this with them and put in your own authentication infrastructure.

Ok so Im a beginning developer for my web siteand I need some help. I want to make it so that when I click on the program I want to download a small window opens up and displays its information that is in an xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<products>
<download id="bustin' blox">
<name>Bustin' Blox</name>
<file_size>2 Mb</file_size>

<version>...</version>
</download>
<download id="">

I have found some javascript for the window, but I am having trouble editing it

(in the external file):
var win = null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable'
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
}

(the html):
<a href="Downloads/programs/games/bustin'_blox.exe" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','730','400','yes');return false">Bustin' Blox</a>

Any help?

The format of the resizable parameter on the windows open method is "resizable=yes|no|1|0".

See HTML DOM open() Method[^] for details about windows open method.

Taking a look at your settings I noticed that you are not formatting the resizable parameter with a value and suggested that you format it with a yes (one of the acceptable parameters specified for the windows open method), presuming you want to make the window resizable.

It is just a thought so you can try it or not, as you please.

You did mention that you are a beginner so here is the actual settings string so you can understand what I am talking about.

try settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable=yes'

Not sure that is your problem but it is just something I noticed.

If you want both the download to start and a window open with the information, you need to open two windows.

Do you have access to some server scripting (like ASP.NET, ASP, PHP, JSP...) that you can use to read the information from the xml file and present it as a page?

I want mail in Russian language.

$mail3_invitationsent ($college_name)


	$mail_contents

	$mail4_invitationsent

	$mail5_invitationsent

";
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: xxxxx' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I don't think so, but really - don't bother trying. If it's on the screen, there is always a way for someone to get it if they want. If nothing else they can always use screen-capture and OCR software to recreate it.
