Opening webpage having stylesheets in masterpage contentplaceholder - .NET (Core and Framework) Discussion Boards

I am not very sure of the exact answer. So, I am posting it to find the correct answer.
But i guess Web.config is an xml configuration file. This never gets called directly unless we need to retrieve the configuration setting.

I am not dam sure but i think this should happen.

Well...yes and no.

It doesn't just hold your own configuration settings, it holds settings for the application so the file will automatically be read every time the application/application pool is restarted and is read into memory. Because of this, every time you change the web.config, the app will do a re-pre-compile to reread it into memory.

So by rights, in ordinary use, it's only really called when the application is started.

That being said, I've had to write custom web.config readers for specific projects but that's my custom code reading the physical file, not the normal operating procedure for the overall project.

Thanks for your reply but i have one query so pls correct me if i m wrong

This is how the minimal Web.config file should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I do agree that Web.config file is a perfect place to store ASP.NET application configuration settings but if i have above web.config then my other configuration must be in machine.config then how cum web.config called when application pool restarted.

I may be wrong but pls give your glance and guide me ...

Because as far as I know, you cannot stop a web application from checking web.config. Just because it's empty is no reason for it not to still read it into memory. This is inbuilt behaviour as far as I know.

I also wouldn't use machine.config to hold settings for you. If you are concerned about security, you can encrypt sections of the web.config and the .NET service will decrypt it automatically for you so you don't even need to chagne your code.

ohhkkk
Thanks for your reply now i am clear with my question actually i was confused just because of machine.config.

Thanks once again for your reply.

Multiple configuration files, all named Web.config, can appear in multiple directories on an ASP.NET Web application server. Each Web.config file applies configuration settings to its own directory and all child directories below it. Configuration files in child directories can supply configuration information in addition to that inherited from parent directories, and the child directory configuration settings can override or modify settings defined in parent directories. The root configuration file named systemroot\Microsoft.NET\Framework\versionNumber\CONFIG\Machine.config provides ASP.NET configuration settings for the entire Web server.

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

My understanding (from reading a WCF book) is that web.config is used by IIS when it runs your application.
Your application is basically a plug-in that IIS runs if it has been configured to do so.
I would put my own configuration information somewhere else.

i got little problem with opening a webpage in masterpage's contentplaceholder.
To open a webpage in contentplaceholder of masterpage i need to do is
remove html tag , head and title... and doctype tag too. along with
this i need to remove runat=server from form tag and put action
instead. and on the top most line '@page' i need to add masterpagefile
attribute. All code except for the first line has to be placed in
asp:content control with ref to master contentplaceholder......

but what i do if my webpage has style sheet ..i cant remove head tag
bcoz it contains style sheet link..and if dont remove style from the
head and try to run removing html tags and doctype....the webpage
opens in masterpage but on clicking on tab which is in webpage takes
me to homepage instead of opening tab.

This is the wrong forum, try Web Development or ASP.NET. Also read the message at the top "How to get an answer".

It's time for a new signature.

You can use Skins and set the SkinID of the master page in the page load of your page. You could put some javascript in the page that sets the href on the link tag. You could put all your styles in one stylesheet and have the master refer to that rather than having lots of different stylsheets that you need to switch between. There are lots of options.

You should try to clarify your question first. Confused | :confused:

Read the thread on the top of the forum messages "How to get an answer of your question".

Hi,

I'm searching for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Configuration tool in VISTA, to see and manage the assemblies and code groups etc.
I didn't find Microsoft .Net Configuration in Administrative Tools. May be I didn't install framework SDK. Can you let me know where I can get the free SDK download. I googled, but didn't find the freeware. Thanks in advance..

After .NET 2.0 this tool is no longer supported.MSDN said that you could use it even with newer .NET versions.
Read this blog post how to get the tool. Smile | :)

Hi All,
I am creating a .NET layer "X" (a dll) to be used as an "api" to my other .NET applications that can be either a window or a console. This layer "X" uses an unmanage c++ code that sends windows-messages using ::SendMessage / ::PostMessage. So i thought I created a System.Window.window instance (and hide the window) in Layer X so that Layer X can receive and handle the window messages from the unmanage code.

The problem:
The receive message works, but now Layer X can not close itself. Even after the application that uses it terminates, somehow the process left hanging because Layer X is unable to clean itself up and have a hidden window hanging. I put "window.Close()" in Layer X's ~Destructor. But the ~Destructor itself is never invoked. I think it's a chicken and egg problem.

Comments and suggestion are highly appreciated.

-Chris

why not send a WM_CLOSE to the hidden window? you could do so in the FormClosing event of your WinApp's main form; or explicitly at the exit point of your ConsoleApp.

Smile | :)

Hi Luc,
Thanks for replying. Yes I could do that, but I am trying to make this Layer X independent of the application that uses it. In other words, it will be nice for the applications that use it to not have to know that they need to call Close() on Layer X.

But maybe i can make Layer X to know the application window and set it as Layer X window's window owner. Maybe then the WM_CLOSE is done automatically.

yes, I expect turning the main form into the hidden window's owner would suffice.

Smile | :)

Please help me out

Thanks

i know that in .net it supports both instantiated and static methods to assign in the threadstart delegate, and also i have the knowledge about static and instantiated methods, let me explain the question:

class client
{
  public static void thisStaticMethod(object obj)
  {
    //code here 
  }

  public void thisInstantiatedMethod(object obj)
  {
   //code here
  }
}

above are the two methods i have and what i want to know what happens when we call the static method in ThreadStart delegate and what happens when we call instantiated method in ThreadStart delegate.
for each thread does it creates a separate instance of the method regardless of whether it is static or instantiated. or what happens behind the screen.

code never gets instantiated; it exists once, on disk; gets loaded in memory; gets executed in a process, by one thread, or by multiple threads, it does not care. Your cookbook does not care how many cooks are reading it.

Data is different; at the class level, instance data resides in the object; and static data resides in the class (and exists once); all threads can access all such data (and that is exactly why we normally need thread synchronization, we don't want several cooks stirring the same pot of data).
Method local data (whether the method is static or not) resides on the stack of the executing thread (each thread has its own stack), so method local data is always separate.

Conclusion: passing a static or an instance method to a secondary thread, is of the same significance as executing a static or an instance method on the main thread. Most of the time, instance methods (and instance data) is preferred over static ones (static gets often abused); when using multiple threads, this is still true, if not even more so.
