So, this is essentially a flash question ? I'd suggest trying the web dev forum, but I'm not sure if this is the right place for Flash questions overall.

SiteMapPath problem

I'm trying to build a sitemap so users can follow the path.
My issue is that I can have multiple same landing pages of categories under different industries or products.
Here is a sample of my sitemap:
<siteMapNode url="~/home.aspx" title="Home" description="Home Page">

<siteMapNode url="~/industry.aspx?ztid=0" title="Automotive" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=16" title="Wire Marker Booklets" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=28" title="Cable Marker Dispenser" />
</siteMapNode>

<siteMapNode url="~/industry.aspx?ztid=1" title="Aviation/Aerospace" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=1" title="Self-Laminating Labels" />
</siteMapNode>

<siteMapNode url="~/productList.aspx?ztid=0" title="Pre-printed Wire Markers" >
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=16" title="Wire Marker Booklets" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=28" title="Cable Marker Dispenser" />
</siteMapNode>

<siteMapNode url="~/productList.aspx?ztid=1" title="Self Laminated Labels" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=1" title="Self-Laminating Labels" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=16" title="Wire Marker Booklets" />
</siteMapNode>

<siteMapNode url="~/productList.aspx?ztid=2" title="Blank Printable" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=1" title="Self-Laminating Labels" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=16" title="Wire Marker Booklets" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=28" title="Cable Marker Dispenser" />
</siteMapNode>

</siteMapNode>

How could I create this without having to create like
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=28a" title="Cable Marker Dispenser" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=28b" title="Cable Marker Dispenser" />
<siteMapNode url="~/productDetails.aspx?catID=28c" title="Cable Marker Dispenser" />

So it won't create an error? Would also not be efficient for programming.

Please advise, I'm also open to other solutions.

Thanks

stress testing webservice

We have a webservice that seemed to be doing fine until it wasn't - and we are having a @@#$!! of a time figuring out what happened.

We added "better" caching in and were fairly confident it was caching when it was supposed to and expiring when it was supposed to.

The question is: how to do better upfront testing? How do you best go about stress testing your app before it embarasses you?

Thanks.

Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

Checking the fail status of windows service

Hi
How can we check the failure of windows service programatically. I have a windows service that elapses every 5 minutes and I need to check if the service is failed then restart it automatically in my code. I googled but I couldnt find the Failed Status for the windows service.

Any ideas please!

From where do you want to check it?

BTW : How does it come to ASP.NET Forum ? Sigh | :sigh:

Wrap your main method in try/catch blocks. So you can handle *all* exceptions. BTW, this question has nothing to do with ASP.NET. Plese post in the correct forum next time.

Well, first you need to handle all possible failures in your application.

Windows Services can perform some actions when it fails. Looks at Services windows in the recovery tab. One of the option is 'Restart the service'

Before you go head and select this, mind the consequence of your action. If there is something in your app or data that is thrown an exception, and it repeats every time the service starts, you will end up chasing your tail. Blush | :O

BTW: Next time use the right forum.

Multiselect in a Gridview cells

Good Day all

Am using Ultragridweb on .NET 2.0. I want to have a multiselect on the grid cells and save it in a Arraylist. So far this is what i did

protected void ultraGridCycles_SelectedCellsChange(object sender, SelectedCellsEventArgs e)
{
    ArrayList array = new ArrayList();


    foreach (UltraGridCell cell in ultraGridCycles.DisplayLayout.SelectedCells)
    {
        if (cell.Value != null && cell.Value.ToString() != "")
        {

            array.Add(cell.Value);

            Session["Cycles"] = array;
        }
    }

}

When i try to do Multi select it brings me only the last value i selected.

How can i do this

Thank you

Since this is a third party control, I don't think this is the right place for this question. You have to try this control's customer support.

A better option is to use a generic List than ArrayList since you are on .NET2.0.

Hi,

I have an application where when a user sign off and then hits windows back button it is navigating to the previous page in the authenticated space. But i want that the user should not be allowed to navigate to authenticated space but instead show an error message. for that i am thinking that I might need to refresh the browser acche. Any ideas on how to do that.
Any other possible solutions are also welcome
