and thanks again

Having all of the methods of the cart as static is a bad idea. You are also throwing away the return values. If CartAccess.AddItem returns a bool you should be doing something with it. It could be as simple as setting the text of a label with "added to cart" or "oops something bad happened". I am guessing you would be getting a false and that it has something to do with your database connection. To get detailed info about what went wrong, either remove the try/catch around the DataAccess calls, or in the catch, change it to catch(Exception ex) and set a label with ex.Message.

Your English is not bad at all.

5 for you because of your etiquette and good manners!!!

Hi,
Just wondering to know, between ADO.net and Dataset which one is better for working with database.
Could you please give me a link for beginner?

thanks a lot

You are trying to compare apples to oranges.

ADO.NET provides consistent access to data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server, as well as data sources exposed through OLE DB and XML. Data-sharing consumer applications can use ADO.NET to connect to these data sources and retrieve, manipulate, and update data.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h43ks021(VS.71).aspx[^]

The DataSet object is central to supporting disconnected, distributed data scenarios with ADO.NET.

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

I have to do an module program which downloads pdf files in the client side. Currently, when users download the file, the url of the downloaded file is viewed by the user.

Modification instructed:
1. In the page where the file download is requested, the url of the downloaded file is viewed in the status bar of that web page. Modification is that the status bar should not display the url of the downloaded file. -- This had been corrected and the code has modified accordingly. It is done correctly only for the first page. Blinks how to process this for the second page..

2. Currently, the call for the download page is given along with the filename of the user request. The filename is passed as the querystring. Modification needed is that the url should get rewritten as "~/download.aspx" instead of "~/download.aspx?<filename>".

I came across using "urlrewriter". But don't know how to implement since i feel little confused with the code examples in net.

I'm placing my code for ur assistance. I'm not using webconfig file also.

        // Register startup script to show a message in status bar
        this.RegisterStartupScript("SetStatusText", "<script>window.status='" + strMessage + "';</script>");

        if (Request.QueryString.Count > 0)
        {
            string fn = Request.QueryString.Get(0).ToString();

            string spath = @"~\pdf\" + fn + ".pdf";

            Response.ClearHeaders();
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
            //Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=my_test.pdf");
           
            Response.TransmitFile(spath);
            Response.End();
        }       

    }
}

Even using register startup variable, in Old_download_pdf.aspx, it is showing the downloaded file url path in status bar of the page Old_download_pdf.aspx. Also we have to rewrite the url from "~/Old download_pdf.aspx?fn=<filename>" as simply "~/Old download_pdf.aspx".

When i tried using a hidden variable, i failed in setting the value of the hidden field during the click event of the dynamically creating hyperlink control.

How to complete this? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I just come across a pretty weird behaviour on my VS 2005 and Ajax, basically i am having a master page and a content page. This is the front end html code for the master page:

but when i try to run it, it always gives me this bloody error:Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The control with ID 'Accordion1_AccordionExtender' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I even dont have this control 'Accordion1_AccordionExtender' on my page, so i dont know what is complaining for.

But when i put the same code in vs 2008, and i use

<cc:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server"></cc:ToolkitScriptManager>

instead of

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>

it just worked like a charm, i was searching on the internet, quite a few ppl got the same issue, but no one has a resonable answer about it. My AjaxControlToolkit.dll was released at 12/05/2010 and AJAXExtensionsToolbox.dll was released at 13/12/2006. Can someone in here plz shed me a light what could be the issue?Many thanks.

Hi guys,

Im working on asp.net1.1 web application on C#. actually i have a page in which the user fills up certain details and also have an option to upload a file which is mandatory. Now at the database along with the details entered by the user the file location path also gets saved in the database say for example D:\webapp\Hello\Modules\Agreement\01-11-2010 08-43-50AMimage.gif -- dis is what gets stored in the DB. Now after the user has clicked the submit button the data is inserted and i also have a datagrid in the same page on which the data stored in database gets populated, currently the path of the file is displayed on the datagrid as mentioned above. but what my requirement is i want the path to be displayed as a hyperlink so dat on clicking the link the file gets downloaded.. trhe code is as follows

the following code is on page display.aspx.cs

private void BindAgreement()
{
    string Module = Request.QueryString["servId"];
    DataSet dReasons  = DataAccess.ExecuteStoredProcedure(Session["MosaicConn"].ToString(),"asp_app_get_mainagreement "+Module);
    if(dReasons.Tables.Count > 0)
    {
        if(dReasons.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
        {
            DataTable dtDisplay = new DataTable();
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("row_id",typeof(string)));
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("module_id",typeof(string)));
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("total_value",typeof(string)));
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("amc_start_dt",typeof(string)));
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("license_amt",typeof(string)));
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("implement_amt",typeof(string)));
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("number_of_licenses",typeof(string)));
            dtDisplay.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("agree_file_name",typeof(string)));

            for(int i = 0; i < dReasons.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                DataRow drDisplay;
                drDisplay = dtDisplay.NewRow();
                drDisplay[0] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[0];
                drDisplay[1] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[1];
                drDisplay[2] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[2];
                drDisplay[3] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[3];
                drDisplay[4] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[4];
                drDisplay[5] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[5];
                drDisplay[6] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[6];
                drDisplay[7] = dReasons.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[7];
                dtDisplay.Rows.Add(drDisplay);
            }
            lblMessage.Visible = false;
            rptUsers.DataSource = dtDisplay;
            rptUsers.DataBind();
        }

the following code is the code for the datagrid on display.aspx page

<table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" borderColor="#006699" width="100%" border="1">

Thanx in advance,

Add a hyperlink rather than a label. What problems are you encountering? What don't you understand?

Also, you should not be using the FONT element. Use CSS.

hello all..
I want to ask for help..

about making simple chatting.. with filter word..

any suggest or turtorial maybe?
just simple chatting like facebook, maybe desktop not online..

thx b4..

if you go to BCC news website or any other website you'll see the usrl is referring to a file like this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11661496

not to a database like this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news.aspx?id=9999999

so what's the best way to save news website? how do they do it? i don't think it's just physical files because maintaining it would be very very difficult..

can anyone explain to me please....

The above url that you are talking about, It is not the linked to the direct page. They must have used some routing mechanism or URL rewriting kind of thing. So user clicks the news link it is redirected to the appropriate page wit the help of mechanism implemented.

I didn't get your question.
Do you want save the links of the news. So for a user point of view, both the links are same, whether the routed url or querystring one.

I have a timer which displays the current time within an asp:UpdatePanel This part is working fine..

I have another asp:UpdatePanel on the same page with two TextBoxs for login purpose.

The problem when the timer is running and I try to put the cursor in one of the two boxes in the UpdatePagel of the loging area it just stays there for seconds and then lose the focus! why is that?

these are the panels:

<dxt:ASPxTimer ID="timerClock" runat="server" Interval="1000" OnTick="timerClock_Tick" />
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" UpdateMode="Always">
<Triggers>
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="timerClock" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
    <asp:Table runat="server" Width="120" BorderWidth="0" CellPadding="0" CellSpacing="0">
    <asp:TableRow>
        <asp:TableCell HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle"><dxe:ASPxImage ID="imageFlag" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/flags/ar-BH.gif" /></asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" Width="100%"><dxe:ASPxLabel ID="lblCurrentTime" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" Text="Loading.." /></asp:TableCell>
    </asp:TableRow>
    </asp:Table>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
    <asp:Table ID="Table1" runat="server" CellPadding="2" CellSpacing="2">
        <asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell>Email Address:</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow>
        <asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell><dxe:ASPxTextBox ID="txtLoginEmail" runat="server" Width="160px" /></asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow>
        <asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell>Password:</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow>
        <asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell><dxe:ASPxTextBox ID="txtLoginPassword" runat="server" Width="160px" /></asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow>
        <asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell HorizontalAlign="Center"><asp:Button ID="btnLogin" runat="server" Text="Login" Width="100px" /></asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow>
    </asp:Table>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

What is the easiest way to achieve that?

Hello

what does this error mean?

"500-inernal server error .
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

This project has been written with visual studio .net 2010 and the database is ms sql server 2008.

Every few times I am faced with this error.

Can anyone help me to solve this error ?

Thanks

Davood

The 500 message you posted is pretty much the server equivalent of "Exception", in that it means "something" has gone wrong the processing the request and the error is on the server side (as opposed to a bad call from the client). It could be one of 1000s of things, can you post a stack trace or log message as the error you supplied doesn't narrow things down very much.

Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

See, this error is returned from the web server. The Web server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request by the client

This error itself doesn't describe about the error. You need to see the IIS logs to find more details about the error.

So see the logs which might help you to find the exact issue.

hi
how to print a mobile web page that run at mobile device such as pda or smart phone?
thabks a lot

hiii to all
any one can tell step by step how to upload data base like Ms Access and Sql Server

rizvan sivally

Upload a database?? What do you mean by that???

Cheers,
Karthik

to upload a MS Access to the server for particular website by that we can store and edit our record on the web as we do in our local system

rizvan sivally

Check out this tutorial. It might be of help to you.

http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/Microsoft-Access/Connecting-to-a-Microsoft-Access-database-with-ASPNET/1/[^]

In this case the poster uses a local MS Access database. So in your case, you could have your .mdb in your server and then use Server.MapPath to get the full physical path. But be careful to secure your database file (w/ a password or some other mechanism), because in such an implementation, its accessibility will be wide open. If there is an option to use MS SQL, you could always choose that.
