That's a very limited view of the project. If that s all you know then you can't really make a call on the price. Also you may not be a very good coder or you might be an excellent coder, this all make huge impacts.
I would use PHP though.

You can't work out what to charge until you know the client requirements in more depth. I would suggest that you find out the requirements in more depth - and only then can you work out how long this is likely to take you.
I'm going to upset Brad here suggest that you look at ASP.NET (version 2). You do get Membership and Role management by default with .NET 2, so your user management is taken care of for you pretty much out of the box. You also get the Site Map functionality out of this as well.
More importantly though, you need to find out what the client infrastructure is - if they want to host it on *nix servers, then you really should look at something like PHP or Ruby.

Hi, I know it is a bit late,
I have worked on similar projects. So I could give you some clarity on what to do.
If these guys didnt give you the full spec, there is no use in making a price becuse you cannot estimate using the project scope (cost, time, quality).
And this will ultimately dig your own grave as late specification will happen , resulting in you coding for months and these guys smiling all the way to the bank.
Rather tell them you will work at a hourly rate, and document what you did in your time, if you spend 1:30 hours coding the login registration write it down, also show them these time allocation papers, and work on a payment on delivery terms, my first contract programming I did during colledge screwed me over big time, it was filled with late spec and resulted in me having to finish a collosal website for a small price , the time they gave me was a month but they only had the content and layout ready for me at week 3.
Remember engineers have a saying : 1.You can have it done fast, 2.you can have it done right, 3.you can have it done cheap, you can only choos 2 of the 3.

I'm working on a Web App (ASP.NET 2.0) where i need the "layman user" to select a folder, and upload the entire folder (along with its sub folders) to my server.
The only things google dug out were some Java Applets that upload folders.
I've heard of C# applets as well, but there isn't much stuff written about them. Not much good / useful stuff anyway.
Any insightful suggestions?
- I also need to tell the "Uploader App" "where" on the server it needs to store the Folder which depends on the users account (who will have logged in).
- Also, I'm thinkin of using Amazon S3 for the storage server. (FYI : S3 uses HTTP - SOAP or REST)
- I'm inclined towards C# because the target users will definitely have .NET runtime installed.
Any useful tips will be much appreciated! general or specific.

Folders as a object do not exist. You are going to need a client side application (eg Java applet or ActiveX)

Put a Javascript in a script tag at the end of the body, that makes a request to the server.

is it possible to develop chat window in AJAX and embedded in Flash?
Thanks in Advance
|
|
|
|

Flash has some really quite incredible features that we struggle with implementing with HTML/CSS/JS: Sound, Dynamic vector drawing, Sockets, local storage, video. I could go on. Why the hell are we struggling with and VML? Comet is essentially a hack while XMLSockets are built in to Flash…and then you have Red 5. To add to this, Apollo has just been released which is looking pretty interesting. See what I mean?
The sweet spot for JavaScript and Ajax has always been for those small, progressive enhancements rather than for creating rich interfaces. It seems to me that the more you head in that direction with JavaScript the more serious limitations you encounter. Browser JavaScript is never fast, has memory leak issues, browser bugs, CSS bugs and all manner of other tom foolery that, when you get to the stage of building something like for Google Maps gets really time consuming and messy. There are many efforts (WHATWG, Tamarin etc etc) that are working toward solving many of these problems but for now and for the foreseeable future we are stuck with em. This, I think, is when it’s time to bring out Flash. Not for the whole app of course, but used in conjunction with HTML/CSS/JS. Flash however is not without it’s problems.

Satips.

Hi,
I have a html form with some JavasSript code which is used to format the input entered, and send a form.action with the appropriate text.
The form.action is using a mailto call in the standard form
mailto:email?subject=xxx&body=yyyy
I'm calling encodeURI before I pass the text to form.action.
For now, the users are opening the html from their PC's, locally.
The email client we're using is Thunderbird.
When running this script in Firefox it works perfectly. Thunderbird opens a new compose email window with the subject and body set up correctly and the user just has to click send.
However on some systems using IE(6 or 7), the compose window doesn't appear and the email is sent in the background. When the email arrives, all of the uri formatting is visible (%20 etc), so it's pretty much a mess.
Not all systems using IE do this however.
All systems have Symantec Antivirus corporate 9 installed.
Does anyone know any reason why this is happening?
I know mailto isn't exactly reliable, but it would be great if I could at least find out what is causing this.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the script, there must be some setting on their PC's which is causing the trouble.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

I would guess the issue has to do with some clients allow html email and other will only allow plain text. The ones that only allow plain text will see a lot of html tags.

I am using VWD and VB.
I have a Gridview with an EditItemTemplate containing a DropDownList behind a Label (See Below).
The DDL is populated by ODBC database.
When the users clicks Edit, I would like to set the DDL to value it currently contains.
Also, I would like to set the Focus to that DDL control, so at least is on the screen after post.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have a web service that accepts requests from users. I would like to be able to save the results of those requests to file on the server, outside the web directory. The results will be generated by the web service, so I don't think there is great risk of saving unwanted files.
Has anyone done this before, or can anyone suggest possible solutions to doing this?
Thanks a lot,
-----------------

I had a similar requirement some tiome back... as far as I know (which isn't saying much...) this can't be done (security don't you know, ooh...), but as it was an acceptable solution for me to save the files within another, different web directory I was able to get around this by:
a) saving the files to the current one;
b) using an FTP class to transfer them to the second directory;
c) deleting the originals;
Maybe not so elegant, but it did the job...

Hi Fred,
thanks a lot for your comments. Everything I've read seems to indicate that it is not possible. One solution that I have come up with (which I don't like) is the following:
a) Select a web directory where all the files will be saved
b) Prepend the path where the file should be saved as the first line in the file.
c) Have a process that polls the directory
d) Have the process read the destination path, remove the first line from the file and move the file.
While, this works fine, I don't like having the process polling all the time. It would be great if the web service could launch a console app that took care of moving the file and then terminated. However, this results in access problems.
Hopefully a better solution will come along soon.
Thanks,
-----------------

Can you not just grant whatever user context the web service is running the rights to the folder where you want to save them?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I think you can do that. But I want to be able to save it anywhere (the WS user would specify where to save it).
