Well
I need to save images inside an images folder in the website root, lets call it "Images/"
But the thing is that i dont know what the physical path will be in the server
If i were in a website i could use server.mappath but how do i access that from inside a separate class library project??
I would not like to send the physical path to this library class as a paremeter

Hi,
Here u go:
Solution1: You can pass imagePath as paramter from website, which may actually calling yr class lib project.
Solution2: You can define the image pathin web.config file n then from there u can read imagePath from class Lib proj.
Feel free to ask.
Regards

Thaks for the reply
Unfortunately, none of these 2 approaches would work:
The first one requires the webservice to send the root as aparameter
The second one requieres that i know the final path, if i have a shared hosting, what would happen if the physical root is moved?? My app would stop working, thats why i cant use a fixed path, and should not send the root a s a parameter from the webservice calling the class, because of ntier separation, you know all that stuff about ntier development
The only solution is using the server.mappath("")
I could access this by adding a reference to system.net to the class library and then get the root with httpcontext.current.server.mappath("~/Images")

i m gettin problem with session variables
con.Open()
Dim cid, cpass
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand("select stdid,passwrd from table1 where stdid='" & TextBox1.Text & "',passwrd = '" & TextBox1.Text & "'", con)
Dim dr As OleDbDataReader
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
If dr.HasRows Then
While dr.Read
cid = dr(0)
cpass = dr(1)
con.Close()
Session("cid") = cid
Exit While
End While
Response.Redirect("details.aspx?cid=" & cid, False)
Else
Label1.Text = "Invalid username/password."
End If
con.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = ex.Message
if i put cid = 'any direct value' it navigates coreectly
bt when i assign it a variable,it doest
it details page the line goes like
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand("select name1,branch,grade from table2 where stdid= " & Request.QueryString("cid"), con)
here request.querystring("cid" ) isnt able to read the value
plz help me out ...

What does that mean? You put cid in multiple places? Do you mean in the session or on the Query String?
parkash_C wrote: Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand("select stdid,passwrd from table1 where stdid='" & TextBox1.Text & "',passwrd = '" & TextBox1.Text & "'", con)
That code is vulnerable to a SQL Injection attack. Please learn how to protect yourself. Read this for a start: SQL Injection Attacks and Some Tips on How to Prevent Them[^]
parkash_C wrote: here request.querystring("cid" ) isnt able to read the value
Again, what do you mean by that? Where is that code anyway? Is it in the details.aspx page?
parkash_C wrote: Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand("select name1,branch,grade from table2 where stdid= " & Request.QueryString("cid"), con)
Again, this is vulnerable to a SQL Injection Attack. You don't even validate your input! A mallicious user could put anything on the Query string and attack your application.
parkash_C wrote: plz help me out ...
I'm not entirely sure how. I don't understand what is wrong. Your title says "unable to retain value of session variable" but you never attempt to retrieve the session variable anywhere.

thanks fr injection attacks
even i m layman at dis...
i wnt to send stdid to another page"details aspx"
i m using response.redirect("details.aspx?cid=" & cid,false)

bt it gives error dat no value given to stdid
i hope u cn undertsnd.....
or give me brief idea hw cn i pass values thru pages....so dat session retain their values.

Please don't use SMS/TextSpeak. It makes it increadibly difficult to understand you.
fr = from
dis = this
wnt = want
bt = but
dat = that
cn = can
undertsnd = understand
hw = how
You are not saving much with these abbreviations. And the time spent by me decrypting them is just irritating. In general people will be much more receptive to your request for help if you write properly.
Now, when you log in you should not ever pass the log in token (which is what cid effectively is) via a query string. It is very easy to hack and pretend to be someone else.
You have a Session so store the value in there. You can then retrieve it from the Session in the next page.
Ditch the query string as a way of passing information (especially something as sensitive as this) between pages unless you expect the user to also use the mechanism for linking directly to some page.

ok...
i am storing session as if like Session("cid") = dr(0).
is this wrong way??
yes i m passin sensitive information.
but right now,i jus want it to work..
which is unfortunately not working..
Is there something like Viewstate, which can help me out..

parkash_C wrote: i am storing session as if like Session("cid") = dr(0).
So far so good. You are storing the value of the first column in the session.
On your other page you can then do
cid = Session("cid")
However, if no rows are returned from the database then cid won't have anything in it. Are you sure data is being returned from the database?
parkash_C wrote: Is there something like Viewstate, which can help me out..
Viewstate is for page postbacks. It has a very short lifespan. It sounds like you need a book or good article describing the state system in ASP.NET.

yes cid and session("cid") do get values from database ,i m sure on this.
could u just tell me d difference between cid and session("cid")
or please provide me a good link
thanks.....

parkash_C wrote: could u just tell me d difference between cid and session("cid")
cid is a variable in your program Dim cid, cpass. You have to make it again in the other page(s)
Session("cid") requests a value named "cid" from the Session state on your page.
parkash_C wrote: please provide me a good link
It is your code. I'm just echoing it back with corrections/suggestions.

I get that a lot. I suspect many people either don't speak English all that well, or don't read the article so they don't know what's actually in it and then thank me for the opposite of what I gave them.

yes i didnt read the article......
as per good Etiquettes i should thank the person
who is spending time on my query....
those who cannot help , they should mind their own buisness.....

Given English is not first language for many people, I don't think any one would hold that against them. What is annoying is the arrogance we see frequently. It is one thing to see broken English sentence, but completely different some one pushing his broken English to get away with unacceptable behaviour.

I do try to take that into account. The grammarian in me wants to correct missing definite articles, incorrect verb congugations and so on. My main weakness is SMS/TextSpeak. I just can't let that one go.

As an additional follow up:

I'm not so sure about that. In some languages what is perfectly innocent to them seems aggressive to us. Take differences between Spanish and English for example.
In English I would walk in to a pharmacy and say "I would like a big packet of Enalapril 5mg, please". I tried that in Spanish once and I got looked at as if I was mad. In Spanish you would say "Give me a big packet of Enalapril 5mg". There is even the imperative verb tense for it - A set of verb congugations specifically for issuing commands. Its closest equivalent in English would be the drill seargent barking commands at the troops. To me it is very impolite. But if I translate what I think is polite into Spanish it turns out that level is reserved for addressing the monarchy.
I've also made an attempt at learning Dutch. What is interesting there is the definiteness of some phrases that turn out to be optional. For example, asking directions. The response you might get back is "You must turn left at the second traffic lights". In reality there may be many routes to your destination and you don't have to turn at that particular junction. It is just the structure of the language.

that is true. I have been to many parts of the world and have seen/interacted with different cultures and languages. I have heard people talking their native languages which sounds like two drill sergeants going after each other.
But, what strike me is, most of that is in verbal only. In most cases, if not all times, written is quite different. There is less harsh tone. In addition, the same people when talking to outsider, specially using different language would tend to tone it down.
just my 2 cents

try dr(0).getsqlstring();
and not try to use cid on multiple places in like this
and yes try the session value type casting to string maybe its a enough answer for your questions.
whats this means???:
<pre></pre>cid = dr(0)
cpass = dr(1)
con.Close()
Session("cid") = cid
|
|
|
|
|
is this correct syntax request.querystring("cid")????
is this enough to retrieve the value of session from other page!!!
or some other function is also required!!!
thanku

The code Request.QueryString("cid") is correct.
what i feel after reading ur posts is that u r not sure of what is a session, query string....
The statment Request.QueryString("cid") doesn't read value from session but it reads values from
Response.Redirect("details.aspx?cid=" &cid, False) that what u specified in the previous page.
If u r sure that cid has valuses frm previous page,then it is sure that u can retrieve that value using Request.QueryString("cid").
To read value frm session, use some variable var=Session("cid")
then the variable var wil contain the value wat u assigned in the previous page.
Moreover viewstate is used hold values pertaining to a single page.The value stored in viewstate can't be retrieved in next page.
Before using al these things, first go through basics like what is viestate,session,application variables, query string and so on. its helps u a lot.. 
Happy Coding...
