Well, try debugging your code to find out where it's failing,. and why. AT the very least, wrapping it in a try-catch block should tell you something...

Why does having multiple dynamic controls on the page prevent you from using a hidden field?

Your SQL makes little sense - it effectively says:
update table set password = X where password = X
why is the password column in your where clause? And if you really mean it to be there, unless its indexed, no wonder your query takes a long time

Yes, you'll need to regenerate the sitemap after every update to ensure ti contains links to all possible URLs - including one for each error code in your case.

As Peter_in_2780 says, this limit is set by your ISP, not Outlook, so you can't do it. Maybe try a different ISP if you can. Or, if you MUST use email, you'll need to split the file up somehow. Or else use a web-service such as WeTransfer (Google it.)

Well don't use a web-page - create a web service or just a simple generic handler to return the time value and nothing else.

That is asp.net! But it's using VB, not C#. It's not hard to convert, you'll have to do that. There are online converters if you get stuck. Google "vb to c#"

Rather than changing the user input using JavaScript (which is unsafe - what if they have JavaScript disabled?) - you'd do better to sanitise it in code after PostBack (and set ValiodateRequest="False" in the page directive to avoid the 'potentially dangerous Request' error).

BY default ASP.NET has a 4MB upload file size - are you sure your video is actually uploading? You can increase this limit in web.config

I've given you one! But I was assuming you have a textbox somewhere on the page that you want filled with the ID values. Then you do that as I said. If you want to create your textbox in the table using the Response.Write then you need to do that:
Response.Write "<input type=""text"" id=""IDs"" value="""
Response.Write oRS(IDs)
Response.Write """ />"

If you want my advice, skip VS2010 and go for VS2012. And VS2008 if you really want an earlier version. 2010 sucks.

Wombaticus 4-Mar-16 6:20am View

yes... if an average search takes 30 minutes there is something you need to look at there... may be just a matter of adding some indexes to your database tables, or optimizing your SQL.

Wombaticus 4-Mar-16 6:16am View

I'd suggest that instead of using "visibility" use "display":
In your div tag style use display:none;
In your js use document.getElementById('divConfirmPrompt').style.display='inline';

Can't help directly but - and this is probably a cheat for which I'll get right-royally told off, but never mind :) - if your file is an .xlsx, then by changing that extension to .zip you can extract the contents into a number of .xml files. One of these, in a "xl/worksheets" subfolder will be called "sheet1.xml" (let's assume the data you want is in sheet1) and you can then easily extract the data from there via a number of XML-helper methods. :)

If it's called home.html why are you calling it with http://url/page.html? That aside, it's most likely you haven't configured IIS correctly, but without knowing what you've done there it really isn't easy to say much. But basically:
Have you application in a new folder;
Convert this into a web application in IIS;
You can test browsing to it within IIS - and check the URL it uses there.

Well... as long as it's only an assignment for college and not a real-world application I guess you can get away with it... like I said look to XML then.

%20 is the hex value for the space character - it is a good thing to have it there instead of a space, especially if you are going to create links or URL's with it.

There are a number of ways... you could simply add an
<hr>

This isn't how "Quick answers" works. You must try to solve it yourself, and ask here if you run into a specific problem, showing what you have done.
But, for starters, I would look at why your database query is taking so long you feel the need for a progress bar at all....

Wombaticus 11-Nov-15 17:44pm View

As far as the folders are concerned, that's normal even with v4.5 installed. Look in control panel (installed programs) to get a better idea of which versions are installed. Assuming you project isn't too large, if it were me I'd just re-build it from scratch - an empty project, add any project references it needs, then copy / paste the files from your original into the new project folder(s) and then including them into the project. You'll probably find it goes ok.

I don't really understand the question. The CSS won't know what the corresponding code is; you'll have to provide it somehow. So just provide it - then you can use CSS if you want to style and position it, but a simple <br> with bnth inside a <div> would do it.

Wombaticus 28-Oct-15 4:30am View

OK, sorry, had the second bit wrong, should be
gvAgency.Columns(N).ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center
but setting
<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" /><asp:TemplateField>
is OK. Both these methods work for me in VS 2012 and .NET 4.5

Wombaticus 27-Oct-15 18:13pm View

You seem to have missed out the onclick event on your buttons... but that aside, you can easily pause and resume the display by adding two buttons
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="pauseTime" VALUE="Pause Timer" />
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="resumeTime" VALUE="Resume Timer" />
and two corresponding functions
function pauseTimer() {
clearTimeout(timerID);
running = false;
}
function resumeTimer() {
running = true;
timerID = setTimeout("showCountDown()",1000);
}
However... this just pauses the display, time itself does not stop, so on resuming it carries on as if the clock had been counting down all the while. If you want to carry on with the next number down you should use a counter to count down, not the real time.

It's a standard table, just add a style selector to each alternate row with the style set to give it a bottom border. (And likewise give the whole table a top border)

Wombaticus 23-Oct-15 8:01am View

Well a redirect won't help - generic handlers don't produce a response that will show up - you'll just get a blank screen. You either need to read the response in JavaScript or, if your handler does something like write to a file or send an email you can test the response that way. But I'm afraid without seeing much more of your code there's not much to go on...

Wombaticus 23-Oct-15 7:01am View

Well what is the error? It can't be the XML Parsing error in your title. It's more likely a javascript error in a calling page, but there is not enough information here to know.

Wombaticus 23-Oct-15 6:40am View

How can that possibly return an error? Are you trying to read that response as XML? You've sent plain text, which it is there. But when you do want to return XML you should set the response.contenttype to "text/xml"

Wombaticus 23-Oct-15 5:11am View

Your code above has nothing to do with XML...?
What has the variable sImgName got to do with anything?

Why not wrap the whole lot up in a try..catch block to find out just hwat the error is?

Wombaticus 23-Oct-15 4:08am View

or, you could use the split() function using " " as the delimiter, and examine the array returned to get your command.

Wombaticus 23-Oct-15 4:02am View

SO you want to end up with a v, a or p? You could use the same method then but look for a space instead of a - sign, and use I+2 instead of I+1. Or, check first for i=url.lastIndexOf("-"). if we can assume that this custom command comes at the end. Or, finally, if it is always at the end, you could simply extract this last letter using url.substring(url.length-1,1), though you'd have to check first that there is a custom command at all, again by checking for a space.

Wombaticus 23-Oct-15 3:40am View

Can you be a little more clear about what you need to extract then? In the example

I'm not sure I understand your problem... but you say "I can make the modal and I can make the alert but I can't figure out the code to connect the two." I think maybe what you're looking for is to add an onblur event to your text box which calls your javascript function.
<input type="text" onblur="myfunction" />
and myfunction() will chekc if the imput is valid and popup the modla if not. (In .NET code you add this by (if you have an <asp:Textbox ID="txt1" runat="server" />)
txt1.Attributes.Add("onblur", "myfunction()")

WHy would you want to use Java? It's not a good language for websites, as it requires a browser plugin to be enabled, and many peoiple don't like it.
If you mean Javascript, then no - it will be part of the solution, but not all of it. People are viewing your page in their browser on their machine, and you need to get the information back to your server and process it there, so some kind of server-side language, such as asp.net or php will be needed.
SQLite is a very lightweight databse solution that requires no installation - just a reference to the dll, and it stores data in files. That really would be your simplest way to go - acheiving what you want could be done with not much code at all. But no, I am not going to write it for you. You must try yourself, and ask for help if you get stuck on any specific points.

Wombaticus 22-Aug-15 5:48am View

MsgBox does exist in VB.NET... I get your point, but not sure I really agree with it; VB.NET would be the natural progression, and I can't help but feel that it elicits an unfairly negative response amongst those that consider themselves "real" coders. The whole thing about .NET is that each of the languages target the same framework, so to a degree the choice of language is immaterial. I say "to a degree" because performace will still be an issue for certain applications, but I'd wager that for the majority of real-world business applications C# offers no advantages over VB. There may be an argument for C# in terms of finding a job, but purely in terms of the language iteself... nah, I don't see it. Which is better for the OP I'd suggest depends on their skills, and what they want to achieve. If they want a job, perhaps yes go for C#. If they're just coding for a hobby, they may be better off sticking with VB.

I don't know what to say, I'm afraid - the above works for me. As an alternative to using appSettings in web.confog to hold such values thogh, you may want to consider using Application variables in a global.asax file. Set them in Application_Start - eg:

... = CStr(Application("Version"))

I really don't think you can run this from a shared server. I think you'll need to create an application that will run on a schedule from your friend's home/office server to do this - shouldn't be a problem assuming you have remote access to the database (ie not only from localhost). You may also need to use a third-party email relay service to send the emails, dependiong on how many there are and the policies of the hostiong company.

I would try calling your buildstring() function from the onclick event of the submit button isntead, and within that use the setAttribute method to set the forms action property to the string str, and simply return true from the function. I would also suggets removing all spoaces (or repalce them with underscores or hyphens) in the filename/string yuou create.

Wombaticus 27-Jun-14 4:57am View

The first step is to find out which part of page/code is causing this. As I said, URL-rewriting is one possible cause, if you are using that. Or Server.Transfer, maybe? If not, are you dynamically changing any server controls? An example maybe some linked lists, so when the user selects something in one, the second changes accordingly?

If nothing else, try removing controls one by one until (hopefully) you find it works - once you know where the problem lies you can find a way to solve it. It's a bugger of a problem though, which can be very hard to track down and solve.

Wombaticus 26-Jun-14 8:38am View

This is a nightmare error, as it can have so many causes ... one rarely documented one is if you are using any kind of URL-rewriting ..

Can I suggest you do NOT use this solution unless there are compelling reasons to do so? It has a lot more overhead than is necvessary for a simple drop-down menu, and a pure CSS solution (i.e. no Javascript) is always preferable where possible.

<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID" />

Suppose 90260 has

then your query would be

- radians(-110.245) ) + sin( radians(34.534) ) * sin( radians( latitde ) ) ) ) AS distance

I don't understand what numbers you are using in your query... you are supposed to enter the latitude adn longitude. 90260 is not a valid number for any latitude - it only goes from -90 to +90, and longitude from -180 to +180

DId you try my last suggestion above? I don't have or use SQLServer, so can't run a direct comparison, but all I can say is that the query I have works for me, and according to the documentation SQLServer treats HAVING just like WHERE when used without a GROUP BY clause (as is teh case here) so it really ought to work for you.

Wombaticus 6-Dec-13 12:42pm View

hmm.. ok, well in that case try that same query just replacing HAVING with WHERE:

- radians(94595) ) + sin( radians(94595) ) * sin( radians(latitude ) ) ) ) AS distance
FROM dbo.ZIP WHERE distance < 25 ORDER BY distance ASC

I'd be tempted to build an index table - parse each sentence in turn and store each word along with its Sentence_ID in this. You'll then be able to retrieve results very quickly, as well as order them by the number of matches etc. Of course you'll need to re-index each time the sentences table is updated.
In fact... if you stored the word's posution in the sentence as well, you could even do away with your sentence table altogether :)
