Is it possible to create a page template that contains a server-side <form> element? I would like to create a template that contains a few server-side controls.
I've played around with creating a template with a <form>, but it seems the only <form> element I can create on the template is an HTMLForm.
When I run a page that inherits from this template, the page has no VIEWSTATE, and cannot do postbacks. If the <form> is on the page instead of on the template, the page does have VIEWSTATE and postbacks work correctly.

Has anyone used the RichTextBox ASP.NET control in a project yet?
So far it looks very good and exactly what we need for our CMS, but I do not want to get my hopes up all over again and then have them dashed 
Any opinions appreciated, ta.

I haven't used it, but it's easy enough (and cheaper  ) to roll your own.
I've got a version wrapped up as an HTML behaviour and a few supporting pages. It doesn't have the design-time support and toolbar customization, but the basics are there:

Yeah we tried to roll our own for a project once (I had three days in which to do it though which bites.)
The basics are all pretty easy to do using IE. It is when you get to more complex features, such as applying CSS classes, that things start to unravel (and which the RichTextBox seems to do well.)
Also we need to output XHTML compliant code, though I recently figured out I can pipe-line HTML Tidy into the solution to get this done.
There were lots of niggly issues we ran into when doing our own, which RichTextBox seems to get around.

Looks great. How can we make use of it in a commercial project? (not for re-sell but a bespoke CMS system for our clients)
i.e. What are your licensing terms?

I can't guarantee that it would be 100% XHTML compliant, but it does have a good go. The tags and attribute names will be in lower case, attribute values will be quoted, all tags will be closed, and all tags will be properly nested.

<hr size="1" color="#eeeeee" noshade />
<span>Well, this works then!</span>

IE5+ users will get the editor, everyone else will get the standard text-box.

Is it possible for a web browser to access the users serial port to receive data from a peripheral to be used in a website? Such as having a small barcode scanner with barcodes scanned in it, the user then goes to a website to order the items scanned, and the webite reads the data from the scanner and compares the scanned items with a central database. If so, what technology?
|
|
|
|
|
Do not use just a web browser. Create a separate app that will scan barcodes, and then send the data using eg HTTP protocol.
You can also put a web browser control in your app, or create a plug-in for IE!
If your clients get barcodes scanners, barcodes, they can also get an additional app!

Use "Scripting.FileSystemObject" ActiveX scripting,
MSDN reference
function ShowFileAccessInfo(filespec)
{
var fso, f, s;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.GetFile(filespec);
s = filespec.toUpperCase() + "<br>";
s += "Created: " + f.DateCreated + "<br>";
s += "Last Accessed: " + f.DateLastAccessed + "<br>";
s += "Last Modified: " + f.DateLastModified;
return(s);
}
And I swallow a small raisin.

Is it possible to do this without ActiveX, in pure JavaScript?
|
|
|
|
|
Wouldn't there be some problems if Javascript itself was able to access the FileSystem ? This would be a security flaw.
If you can use document.lastModified for the current web page, there is no magics behind, that's because the web server puts these info in the HTTP headers.
As a matter of fact, you may use Web-DAV (an extension of HTTP) for what you need, but that brings us very far. See MS SharePoint.
And I swallow a small raisin.

Well, you are right, if JavaScript could access the filesystem this really could be a security flaw. I will use your ActiveX version.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I am creating an automation COM Object for ASP. From an ASP point of view, which is the best threading model to use, FREE or BOTH?
Thanks,

Can't tell you wich is the best, but BOTH worked fine for me. Maybe it also depends on what kinda project you are doing

I'm making BOTH as well. I think thats the safest. In either case, switching to FREE or Apartment at a later stage will not be difficult.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both, depends which adv. are important to you and your application, but I would use BOTH if I was developing the component.

I'm developing a web site that has reports which will be billable to the user. So, in this case we need to write to the database user login and logout times. It means session start time and end time.
We are using Oracle 9iAS with Apache 1.3.19 as the http server on Windows 2000. Database is Oracle 8i.
All these days we tried to do it..but could not find a good solution. We tried it with JavaScript but it does not work on some browsers.(Specially on Mozilla 1.0).
Do you know anyway of doing this. If so please let me know it will be great help.
Thank you,
Yamsy

I'm trying to connect to a MySQl DB using perl DBI.
I'm getting the following error. (running on WinXP, activeperl 5.6.1, MySQL port is 3306)
DBI->connect(database=mysql;host=localhost;port=3306) failed: Can't create IP socket (10106) at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBI.pm line 494
Any clue where to start solving this. I pretty clueless regarding MySQL and DBI.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've created a user Control with contains a DBGrid. I include this user control in a webform. This webform got some fields (textboxes) that I want to validate using, for example the required field validator.
The problem is when I try to insert or modify a row in my dbGrid (which is in the user control...) I cannot save my changes unless all the required field of my webform are filled in.
How can I deactivate the field validator trigger for my user control (or at least when I validate a row in my DBGrid) - knowing the fact that when you validate a change in the dbgrid, you generate a postback.
Many thanks in advance !!!

Hi, pals!
I want to get detailed information about each object
and each method in Javascript. Can you tell me where
can I find a Javascript reference book?
Cheers,
George

IMHO the best reference you'll get is from ECMA itself : ECMA javascript.
Then of course you have the Microsoft specific implementation of javascript : JScript. See MSDN.
You also have Netscape's.
And I swallow a small raisin.

Get Danny Goodman's "Javascript Bible" it is very indepth and covers both IE and Netscape flavors of javascript.
