ASP.NET

[SOLVED] navigation takes too long

28-Mar-11 2:37

yea, correct me if i'm wrong, the masterpage is the "DEFAULT" page and then i create other pages that "inherits" (i know is not inheritance, but just an example in order to explain what i know) from the masterpage. For example if i have a masterpage with header and footer as master.master with a contentplaceholder in the body. Then i create a login.aspx with master.master as the masterpage and include my independent code inside of the container of login.aspx. When i run the webpage, the masterpage creates the proper HTML.
I realised about the forms, when you create a new .aspx file, with the default code. It shows something like this:

// Here I should add all the ContentPlaceHolder's right?

And manage all the events from each page without needing a lot of forms.

Thanks again Big Grin | :-D

Hi community Big Grin | :-D

thanks for helping me so far, i'm really glad that i found this site.
Here's the doubt i got since i started with ASP:

1) I'm not using IIS yet, im using the localhost provided by ASP.NET to test and debug my website before i upload it to the host.
Anyway, when i change from aspx to aspx it takes like if i would be really connecting to the internet and its loading all the things, its not like when you are making the website with flat HTML, PHP, javascript, etc using XAMPP. Actually my website its not fully loaded with images and things that might get you lag.

After thinking why this is happening, i was really upset, so i tried to create my very same website (without asp components, masterpage and stuff ofc) and the same js files, image files, css files, all was alike, and it worked awesome, very fast... so i said, there's two things here... is it the ASP.NET inner localhost or ASP.NET itself.

For instance, i got some pictures with onmouseover event and change to another img, and on mouseout it returns to the "off" state.
And the very first time i mouseover the image, it takes about 3 seconds to load the mouseover image, after the first one, everything looks normal. But why it has to load the image if i'm locally requesting it?

2) Remembered that i have another thing to clear up. I'm trying to reset the fields of my asp inputs and selects components, is there anyway to do it as the HTML does with the

<input type="reset">

? is there a similar property for ASP? I did it now by code behind with the onclick event, that restarts all the fields to "" or SelectedIndex = 0, works good, but it makes a postback because its server side, i would like to do it, without the postback. Any possibility???

Thanks! Hope i'm not bothering you with my noob questions.

Javascript is how you do it on the client side. A quick google search will teach you how to reset fields on page load, be careful though, you dont want the script running on postbacks.

The slow loading ASP.NET stuff can happen for lots of reason, a slow machine trying to run the site while using Visual Studio, having debuggers attached... ect...

Yea, it might be, tomorrow i will test my project on a better computer and not my netbook, anyway my netbook is pretty powerful (dual atom 1.8ghz, 4gb ram, and a 512mb video card (ION2 Platform)) dunno, it runns everything really fast.
But im still thinking about the Localhost. When its loading it says at the bottom of the browser in the status bar:

"Waiting for localhost..."

And remains like 2 or 3 seconds per page.... and it loads as i said, as if it would be running in the internet.

Thanks again!

Yea! you were right! Tried my website in a C2D 2GB RAM and it worked PERFECT, took not even 1 sec to load a page. Everything runnning so smoothly (locally ofc).
Thank you very much!

you have to remember when running on //localhost that you are essentially running a server for a minute in the background. The first time you run the application from within VS the server has to start up etc etc.. I run an asus laptop with i7 processor, 8 gigs ram and so on. even mine can be few seconds slow on the first run.

Woo, but the localhost server is taking a lot in my netbook, every single time, not just the first one. Don't know why. And that didn't happen in my work computer, which has a Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM, it took like a second the first time.

btw, wtf nice notebook Hmmm | :|

thanks, its not an alienware but its a nice pc. and was reasonably priced for what I got out of the deal. I run up to 4 vms at once in it since I am working with sharepoint. one vm with server2008r2 and sharepoint, one with sql, one for a webserver and one for an AD. I get very little lag out of it for the most part(of course I have the vms running on minimum ram for the OS since they are just for testing.)
I run all 4 of them that way to emulate our office environment and allow me to play with sharepoint without going and telling my boss that I had an oops on the live sharepoint server.

as far as the difference between your pc and work pc, it could be any number of settings, or maybe your pc has more services running in the background. Hard to say really. But if the code runs fine on the other machine my guess would be that the code is ok as far as performance its just your machine running localhost that is lagging up for whatever reasons.

Ok, as the title says... i would like to add a HyperLink inside of the CheckBox Text attribute, in order to create something like this.

I'm 18 years old, i read and accept the Terms and Conditions, and also the Security Policies.

Where Terms and Conditions and Security Policies are links, am i able to do this?

Thanks

Marian.

Deny access to an aspx menu in webconfig, Role Based Authorization

26-Mar-11 22:11

Hi,

I am using role based authorization. Is it possible to deny access to a control using webconfig.

I have created a menu ( not from sitemap) in the master page and I want this menu to be accessible only by users in roles and not by everyone else. I know I can make it invisible in login page etc but is there any other way?

Here is a part of the web config code

<authentication mode="Forms>
   <forms loginUrl="login.aspx">
   </forms>
</authentication>
<location path="Admin">
      <system.web>
        <authorization>>
          <allow roles="Admin"/>
          <deny roles="Employee"/>
          <deny users="*"/>
        </authorization>
      </system.web>
    </location>

No you cannot handle the control display from Web.Config file. You can handle the URL authorization only. Thus, Menu will be visible as per set for the page. If you display all, then authorization is the way to stop them.

Ideally, you hide it if it is not accessible.

How to make the content Fixed

hi men/women

actually when I design the page in asp.net (in c#) I arrange the

contents in specific way , but when make "browse in web

page" the contents overlapping and some of them get bigger

and another get smaller and some move from original position

....etc.
I tried to use tables to make the content fixed , I also tried to

use the percent in size of tables, td and tr
but with no useful
can any one help me and tell me what is the suitable way to

make the content the same in the design and browsing mode

From my personal experience, i recommend using css and avoiding tables.
I prefer measurements in pixels and it makes it more sure.

check some best practices here.

Its easy to add CSS in ASP.NET, as you do in HTML. The code will be basically look like this:

<link href="css/filename.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Or you can even place it in the same masterpage like this, inside of the head tag, you add:

<style type="text/css">
    CSS ATTRIBUTES 
</style>

For instance, if you are using master pages, you have to add the css links inside of it (the masterpage).

I'm not a MASTER of web development, but i can help you with something...

CSS its easy as well, gonna make some examples for you.
Lets say we have the filename.css with:

body
{
background-color: #1e1e1e;
margin: 0px;
text-align: center;
font-family: Trebuchet MS;
}

The entire webpage if I let it this way, the font will be Trebuchet MS and it will be centered.

You have 3 ways for applying CSS. By ID, by Class or by Object.
By ID:
(ASP.NET)

<asp:TextBox ID="foo"/>

(CSS)

#foo
{
   color: #282828;
   font-size: 12px;
   font-family: Arial;
   border: 1px solid #fff;
}

Here, this ASP input text will have a 1px solid white border, the color of the text inside of it will be grey, Arial and 12px size.

By Class
(ASP.NET)

<asp:TextBox ID="foo" CssClass="input">

(CSS)

.input
{
   color: #282828;
   font-size: 12px;
   font-family: Arial;
   border: 1px solid #fff; 
}

This will contain the same attributes, but the only difference is that we changed them by class instead of ID.
If you have a lot of inputs its better for you to use classes rather than ID, ID is more unique related style, -when you have to change a single object style-.

Then you can also change all the inputs, all the selects, and so on of your site, like this:

input 
{
   color: #282828;
   font-size: 12px;
   font-family: Arial;
   border: 1px solid #fff; 

}

Where ALL the inputs will be under these style rules.

Next for you to know, is the positions, margins, paddings and floats.
Try to avoid using position: absolute or tables as one person said above, they aren't good, conceptually neither.
So the best way for you to create forms for example, is with DIVs and CSS, is even way better for reading and understanding.
After doing both ways, you realise of the quantity of lines used for nothing with tables and the worthless space they use.
Also, by using tables, each browser (firefox, chrome, opera, IE) has their own attributes for placing elements inside of rows/columns, so its not always the same way you see it in firefox than in others.

position: absolute attribute is better not to use it, as instead, try using float: left or float: right, with margin-left, margin-top, margin-right or margin-bottom properties.

The position: fixed, the one that you asked about, is to keep an element FIXED on the website and eventhough you resize the browser window, it will be mantained in the way you placed it in the window with CSS.

Hope it helps for something at least, happy designing/programming!

My best regards,

Marian.

EDITED: Oh what you can do to practice a LOT, is install the Firebug for Firefox and you can debug there in execution time, just simply "right click" in your site > Inspect Element, go to CSS tab, select the CSS file and edit it, change attributes, create new rules, etc... that's the way i learned, comparing results Big Grin | :-D
