Why do you think that this is possible ? You can link to a local file, but you don't have access to the file system. I think you need to read up on what ASP.NET is and how it works.

Hi andiyuniar
I've had this issue before. The way I handled it was to "spoof" a content page to change it's ContentType to display images. I would pass it an id via query string and then set the imageurl to the spoofed page.

Here's an example that should help you. Please keep in mind, I don't know if it's the best solution, but it works for me. Also, there could be some performance hits if you have too many images being loaded on your page via this method.

Create a WebForm... i called mine LoadImage.aspx
Place this code in the Load event

if (Request.QueryString["Id"] != null)
        {
            int Id = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["Id"].ToString());
            byte[] image = null;
            //You will have to add your connection information and grab the image from the database
            // ToDo: Load binary image into image variable;

                if (image!=null)
                {
                    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(image);
                    Bitmap b = new Bitmap(Image.FromStream(ms));

                    Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
                    b.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                }
                else
                {
                    Bitmap b = new Bitmap(Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath("images/noimage.png")));

                    Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
                    b.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                }
        }
        else
        {
            Bitmap b = new Bitmap(Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath("images/noimage.png")));

            Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
            b.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        }

Then on the page you want to bind your image to just set the ImageUrl property to the webform plus query string.

Image1.ImageUrl = "LoadImage.aspx?Id=1";

Happy Coding

I am using jquery in my asp.net 1.1 application.
I am reterving some data using this function:

$(function() {
$("input#btnadd").click(function() {
$.get("RecordPage.aspx",function(response) {
// working on response received.
});
alert('Done');
});

Now my problem is alert('Done'); executed first before response part.

One person's data is another person's program.

using timer to refresh gridview

3-Jun-09 23:53

I would assume that this means it makes the request, then continues. You need to figure out if you can catch an even when the get has ended, and show your message there.

One way to do this, is to put something in the URL that tells it to inject the alert in the page that is being sent.

   AlertTimer.Interval = 30000;<br />
<br />
}<br />
    public static void AlertTimer_Elapsed(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)<br />
    {<br />
           Alert a = new Alert();<br />

I think you can not able to call a non-static method from a static method,may be you can change your static function to normal function or you can change the normal function into a delegate function.

I see that. You're obviously not writing commercial code, this isn't good enough for a beginners class. So, I suggest you either take a class, or buy a book and work through all of it. If you're writing commercial code, then you're a liar and a thief.

Your basic problem is that you don't have the slightest clue how ASP.NET works. Your server is doing NOTHING after your page is delivered. To get a page to auto refresh, you need a timer on the client, not on the server.

Perhaps you ought to rephrase that. There is actually a method to refresh a page WITHOUT a timer AND from the client. Add the following meta tag to your page;

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="900;URL={the fully qualified url of the page to be refreshed}" />

'900' represents the amount of time between refreshes.

Check Box as Toggle

Hi All,

I want to have a toggle images, so I did this.

<br />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Start/Stop"><br />
                    <ItemTemplate><br />
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="chkStatusTogel" runat="server" <br />
                            OnCheckedChanged="chkStatusTogel_CheckedChanged" AutoPostBack="false" /><br />
                        <ajaxToolkit:ToggleButtonExtender ID="ToggleEx" runat="server"<br />
                            TargetControlID="chkStatusTogel" ImageWidth="16" ImageHeight="16"<br />
                            CheckedImageAlternateText="Stop" UncheckedImageAlternateText="Start"<br />
                            CheckedImageUrl="images/exit.png" UncheckedImageUrl="images/run.png" /><br />
                    </ItemTemplate><br />
                </asp:TemplateField><br />

I can toggle between images. Now I want to handle the checked event.

But I've a big problem here. If I set the AutoPostBack to false, I cannot catch the CheckedChange event. If I set AutoPostBack to true, I can catch the event, but page refreshed automatically. I don't want that. How can I solve this.

Please help me, I'm new to ASP. Smile | :)

Thanks

I appreciate your help all the time...

javascript for disable back button

3-Jun-09 21:00

I guess you want to try to use AJAX. I don't think newbies should use AJAX until they understand ASP.NET, however.

Sounds like a job for Java or DHTML (really java too, although that statement raises the hackles on some). There are a large number of situations that require you to slide java in the middle of the process specifically becuase of the type of action(problem) you describe.

AJAX is simply more complex java code already rolled up for you to produce some nice 'effects' and functionality. It's nothing more than that though. An understanding of java helps dramatically in using AJAX, but is not necessary (as they are really the same thing).

Write a quick little java applet to switch your images and place the name of your java routine in the onclick attribute of the asp checkbox tag. Its really that simply and pretty neat once you get the hang of it. Search for some 'MouseOver' java code in aspx if you need examples. They are pretty easy to whip into what you need.

You're living in a fantasy. You can't stop the user going back. Instead, you should fix your overall design.

For what reason do you want to disable the back button? Many, including myself, use the back button often and I would consider it to be a usability issue if I couldn't go back a page easily.

thanks for ur answers.
Ex:If menu contains,
page1
page2
page3 and logout page.
after login,he can go to page2 and page1 with back button,but from page1 he should not go to login page with browsers.With logout only he can go back to login page.
once user login,and reached main menu page,until unless he clicked on the logout,he should not go back to the login page by clicking on the browers back button.

This is my requirement.Please let me know if any one of u understand and had solution.

Just as long as the page isn't cached then you can handle what to do in the one of the page events (not sure of the best one, maybe page_load?).

That is, if the user is logged in and he/she tries to go back to the login page then hide the login form and maybe show a message saying 'Already Logged In' or something. If the user has logged out and he/she tries to go back to a secured page then re-direct to the login page.

I think you can set whether to cache the page or not using the Response object.

Try this out;

protected void Page_load
{
StringBuilder javaScript = new StringBuilder();

javaScript.Append("\n<script language=JavaScript>\n");
javaScript.Append("window.history.forward(1);\n");
javaScript.Append("</script>\n");

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("HistoryScript", javaScript.ToString());
}

Its a bit of a trick, but works for me. The real problem is that newer browsers purposefully remove the ability for code to effect the menus of the browser now as some nasty hackers keep finding ways to hijack the browser using these methods. Probably the code above will become useless after a time too when someone starts to use it in-appropriately and we will have to creatively come up with a new method. Just be cautious in how you apply it. Cool | :cool:
