I want to display employee name and emailid in a dropdomlist.(like Ram-ram_g@rediffmail.com)

You need to get data from table, iterate each item, combine name with email and add to the drop down box.

and when i select one list item i want to store the empcode of perticular selected employee.

While adding items to drop down, assign employee code as item's value. Handle SelectedIndexChanged event and get the current selected item's value, which will be your employee code for the selected item.

All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia

While storing the value and item in dropdownlist, store as follows:

DropDownList1.DataValueField = 2;
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Test";

while retrieving, get it back as follows:

string ddltext = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text;
int ddlindx = DropDownList1.SelectedValue

Hope this helps.

I have a base64 gif label from UPS that I would like to put in the memory stream and then resize and output to memory stream.
How can I resize the image before writing it to the output stream?

Any help would be appreciated.

byte[] buffer = Convert.FromBase64String(htmlBase64());
Page.Response.Clear();
Page.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=displayImage.jpg;");
Page.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", buffer.Length.ToString());
Page.Response.ContentType = "application/octetstream";
Page.Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);

Thank You, Signed... Linda

Use
Convert.FromBase64String()

Thanks & Regards

I know how to do that much; however, my out is to the stream.
How do I resize the image before outputting it to the stream.
see code below

byte[] buffer = Convert.FromBase64String(htmlBase64());
Page.Response.Clear();
Page.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=displayImage.jpg;");
Page.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", buffer.Length.ToString());
Page.Response.ContentType = "application/octetstream";
Page.Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);

I am developing a site in asp.net 3.5, our appication design is simple – All our application pages communicate with database through a web service – In effect this web service itself is our database layer.
Now in middle of the project, due to some security issues, we dropped the idea of exposing our database layer as a web service.
Though they have dropped this for now, later they have the idea of exposing it as a web service, so that customers can directly communicate with our DB instead of coming through web pages.
So at this point, my suggestion was to pack the whole app_code folder of web service to a .net library(.dll) and reference it locally from the web pages, or
To copy and paste the app_code folder of webservice to the app_code folder of the web application. Since they cannot afford recompiling the data layer for every modification later on, the choice for them was to put it in App_code folder, so that they don’t need to recompile the whole stuff after modifications.

Now here is my problem:
-In future, if they want to make use of same .cs files in this application app_code folder to be exposed as web service, is it possible?
Technically speaking its kinda sharing the app_code folder between 2 application(one is a .net web application and the other one a web service)

I tried to put the whole web service directory(which includes app_code,.asmx files and web.config) inside the app_code of web application, I am able to access those service methods inside my pages.
But it gives a compilation error “it is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS”. If I configure this as a virtual directory in IIS, we cannot access these classes inside the pages. (What I was thinking is of creating a separate virtual directory on the same level of web application and not as a subfolder to it.)
As you know, this error is basically bcoz of the authentication entry in web service web.config file. AS when I googled, I came to know that, a web application can have any number of web.config in its subfolders, but they cannot have <authentication> entries in any other than the root web.config.
Though I can change the allowDefinition attribute for authentication in machine.config file, I don’t want to do that,as its risky!

Is there a way to resolve this?

Contraints are:
- I don’t want to re-compile the code every time I make change or for a minor release
- I don’t want multiple versions of same file to be maintained – so I need to share the .cs files between a webapplication and a web service.

Please let me know your suggestion on this one.

Thanks
Ben

Try to create a DAL
I Mean a class library project where you maintain all your data access codes.
reffer the assembly in you web application/service. you will be having a single code base.

The problem then is that, everytime we do a release of fixes or minor enhancements, we need to recompile the library. This I need to avoid, where as in app_code, jst dumping the edited file would do the work, as it'l be getting automtically copiled on the first access Frown | :(

which means, you are deploying the sorce code!!!!!!
not the precompiled one!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that a good practice?????

Thanks & Regards

Pete

I know thats the baddest practice, bt still they are pushing me for it, as thats the way they are comfortable. The reason behind is that, in this project proper structured source control is not there behind the scense, although we have svn as the source DB.. Big Grin | :-D

I know this is a pretty weird way of thinking from my sid for the same reason, I feel like I cannot achieve sharing in such a way Smile | :)

I have a reference to a .js file on a masterpage that my Defaut.aspx is using. I need a value from that javascript file that is being set when the file loads, however I need that value prior to the page load of Default.aspx. My problem is that all the referenced .js files on the Masterpage are called after the Page_Load() event of Default.aspx. Is there a workaround for this ?

Thanks.

So you're trying to access something that's loaded on the client side, from the server side?

Yea, in a way I guess I am. I am basically working with a Javascript based HTML editor on which I have created a custom button, on that button's click event I want the contents of the editor (which is developed purely in javascript) to be transferred in to a .NET string that I can use to continue my logic. So this attempt is in view of one of the solutions I have thought of for that problem.

Hi, thanks for looking

I have a script manager in my masterpage instead of in each contentpage (The whole site has the same masterpage)
Not all contentpages need a script manager
Does having a script manager in the masterpage instead of in only the contentpages that need it have any performance problems??

Thanks in advance for any feedback

Alexei Rodriguez

No , I dont thik so. but check the ratio where you need script manager or not. suppose, you have 100 page and you need Script manager in 90 pages and 10 page with out script manager , that should be any problem , but vice versa should not be happend !!!

Thanks !!!

We have lot of data getting loaded on first two pages on application
We are planning to store state codes and may be related data
In application cache. Is it a good idea? How it's gonna effect the
Performance? Any other suggestions? $Shucks | :-\$

whenever you are going to use cache , that mean it is server side and can be accessable by all. suppose you have 5000 records that can be displayed to maximum user, then simply put the data into cache by retreiving from database first time, rathar than calling every time from data base. it should improve your performance.
but while using caching, you have to consider many points like, cache dependecy, Expary etc.

Thanks

Please help.

I have a DataGrid, with an ItemTemplate that has an image and label. In the EditItemTemplate the label is replaced by a textbox. My problem is that the edit template only shows when I click the Edit button the second time. What gives?

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty… The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. … We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert Einstein, 1, 1954)
