Setting Hyperlinks in order for users to carry out forced downloads - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

Thanks for your time.
How should I start checking??
I 've tried both methods of event wiring and also tried autoeventwireup.
Just to mention, all events are fired properly when calling the physical file on my browser (eg. localhost/pages/default.aspx)
but if I call the rewritten url (eg.localhost/default.aspx) or do a cross page postback or redirection towards it, all onClick events are not fired.

Again, the process of rewritting the url has nothing to do with how the asp.net engine parses and renders the page. Make sure the page is the correct, the one you are expecting

I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

I know it sounds impossible ( I am suprised my self). Tha page that I am expecting works fine if I call the physical file. To be more specific I have a user control on my master page which selects language by clicking on a flag icon. The control and all the other buttons (on usercontrols,masterpage,content pages) are behaving as expected. Now, calling the same page (but throught the rewritten URL) my buttons are not responding to onclick events (even breakpoints won't pause the execution). I am talking about the SAME page, the same Class, the same codebehind file, just different URLs

hi iam using asp.net with c#

iam using tab ccontainer of ajax control , inside this iam using update panel and drop down list but drop down list not performing any action
and when you select any item from drop down list it gives error

error
========

Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation

and tab container while designing not showing controls and shows 1 could not be set on property 'ActiveTabIndex'

    {
        if (ddlconnectivity.SelectedValue =="Dsl"||ddlconnectivity.SelectedValue=="Connect" || ddlconnectivity.SelectedValue == "Others")
        {

            txtconnectaccount.Visible=true;

        }
        else {
            txtconnectaccount.Visible = false;
        }
    }

how to solve this can you correct this code which helps me

It seems that you have put only 1 tab in ur Tabcontainer hence u have to use ActiveTabIndex="0" for slecting 1st tab.

Tell me if it works or not

Hi
I have a dropdown list, and the values displayed in this come from an enum, which on load of the page I cast to an array and then bind to the dropdown list. The dropdown list is itself part of a details view. When the user selects a value this selected value is saved to the database via an object, which has a property of that enum type. The object is bound using Microsoft Object Container Data Source for the rest of the details view, but of course the dropdown list is bound using the array.

However, where am I stuck is when the user wants to edit a record, of course I want to show this record in the details view. Now I can show all the other fields in the detailsview using the Object Container Data Source, which also includes the value that the user selected from the drop down list when the record was entered. How do I set the drop down list to a value from the Object Container Data Source where the drop down list is bound to an enum/array?

Thanks

Can you provide code snippet for the same??

Hi
I am using Microsoft's MVC design pattern and I have a method in my controller, which sets the data source of a gridview. Whilst I can bind all the other values in the gridview, I am stuck setting 4 hyperlinks. The hyperlinks need to work in the explanation given in the link below: http://forums.asp.net/p/542979/3077895.aspx for forcing downloads to keep the location of where files are saved to private, which I want set in the controller.

To fully explain what I am doing, in my controller for the gridview, I am setting the gridview's data source using ICollection, which is an object containing results from a query. From this collection, I extract a value which has the name of a folder which contains a number files. So, what I have done is to cast my collection to a object, to get folder name and then use a foreach loop to get each folder name. Then to get the files inside each folder, I use Directory.GetFiles, which returns a string array - I wrote string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(ConfigurationManager.appsettings["filepath"]+folderName); . I have set 4 properties for each Hyperlink I want to set.

It is at this point where I am stuck, because even though I can get to the files, I am unable to set the Hyperlinks to these files. Each time I try an set the NavigateUrl property, I get the error message Object not set to an instance of an object. Plus, I have two other issues to resolve:

1) Even though there are 4 hyperlinks, not every hyperlink will be set. In other words, if there are only two files in the folder, I only want to set the appropriate hyperlinks. So, how can I iterate through the string array, and get each value inside the array to do a check?

2) When I set my Hyperlinks in my controller, how do I simply pass the file and keep the file's actual storage location hidden as given in the link http://forums.asp.net/p/542979/3077895.aspx

Thanks

When you say "Microsoft's MVC design pattern" you mean you have created an MVC application correct? What version? If you are using a MVC application then you have control of the output and formatting in the markup of view or you can set the ViewData or model appropriately. Perhaps if you showed some of what you are doing it would be clear.

Also, as note, if you are including a URL it is customary to make it a hyperlink so people can navigate without copy & paste

hi iam using asp.net with c#

if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
            {
                FileInfo branchinfo = new FileInfo(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.Trim());
                byte[] branchcontent = new byte[branchinfo.Length];
                FileStream branchstream = branchinfo.OpenRead();
                branchstream.Read(branchcontent, 0, branchcontent.Length);
                branchstream.Close();
                cmdsave.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BranchPicture", (branchcontent == null? System.DBNull.Value: branchcontent));
            }
            else {

                cmdsave.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BranchPicture",DBNull.Value);
            
            }

but it is giving error

Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'System.DBNull' and 'byte[]'

can you correct the code where iam going wrong

You should try...

branchcontent.ToString() == null? null : branchcontent

Hope this will help!

Tej Aj,

try this ....

<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID ="YourDropDownName" EventName ="YuorEventName" />

I have created a web chat application, to get to the webchat user has to login using his username and password. When I was developing my application the redirection sometimes was working, and sometimes not, I didn't really know why, but I wasn't bothered about that then.

Now I wanted to access my webpage by using IIS, I was following this tutorial:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/IIS7ASPNet.aspx

The login page is with this adress: http://localhost/Smiths1/Default.aspx

and it should redirect me to:

http://localhost/Smiths1/SmithChat.aspx?roomID=14

but I don't know why it redirects me to:

http://localhost/Smiths1/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fSmiths1%2fSmithChat.aspx%3froomID%3d14&roomID=14

and I can't get to the webchat (I still see the login page, but I assume it;s only because the name of it is Default.aspx).

The instruction in login page looks like that:

<code>Response.Redirect("SmithChat.aspx?roomID=14", true);</code>

I don't know what causes whis "error", could someone help me please?

You problem is not clear. please rephrase your question.

Cheers !

I think I should start with showing you my code in the login page (I'm using prepared asp login component):

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

protected void Login1_Authenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)
{

SmithChatDataContext data = new SmithChatDataContext();

var user = (from u in data.Users
where u.Username == Login1.UserName
&& u.Password == Login1.Password
select u).SingleOrDefault();

if (user != null)
{
e.Authenticated = true;

Session["ChatUserID"] = user.UserID;
Session["ChatUsername"] = user.Username;

Response.Redirect("SmithChat.aspx?roomID=14", true);
}

else
{
e.Authenticated = false;
}
}
}

and when I run the page from the Visual Studio, it goes to the login page, when I'm trying to login - sometimes it redirects me to the webchat as it should, and sometimes the link after authentication looks like that:

http://localhost:49786/Smiths/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fSmiths%2fSmithChat.aspx%3froomID%3d14&roomID=14

and I'm still on the login page. I don't know what is wrong.

Anyway, I tried to deploy my application using IIS, so I followed the tutorial which I mentioned about before, and my login page is accessible (http://localhost/Smiths1/Default.aspx) However, after authentication it stays on the login page and the link again looks like that:
http://localhost/Smiths1/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fSmiths1%2fSmithChat.aspx%3froomID%3d14&roomID=14

I think it is redirecting to default page because
it is not finding SmithChat.aspx page on it's path.

try this

Response.Redirect("SmithChat.aspx?roomID=14", false);

Thanks, but I've tried that already. It's not redirecting anywhere at all when this boolean is set to false (stays on the default.aspx). I still can't figur out what's wrong

I have an ordering site with a requirement where I need to allow a user to upload a file and while that file is uploading, allow them to continue on in the page flow. On each page, I wish to be able to check on the status of the file uploading and provide feedback to the user on the status of the upload, such as a progress bar.

I'm looking for ideas on how to begin a file upload and then allow for page navigation without ending the upload. ASP.Net / AJAX are good to use, but not Silverlight

Interesting problem. The first thing that comes to mind is to use an iframe for the navigation so the file upload is taking place in one page while other pages are displayed in the iframe.

I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

Not a bad idea in general, but unfortunately won't work for my purposes. We cannot place the main page content into an iframe for navigation, it could create a lot of problems for us.

Any other ideas?
