    - Is this a good book to start off with to learn ASP? I found this on E-Bay and heard that it's a good start. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170005505172&ssPageName=ADME:L:DS:US:8 Can anyone with experience in ASP confirm this?

    - Variable Scope and Functions Hey All, I'm trying to do something that should be very simple, but I think I've been up for too many hours or something. Basically, I have an asp application that uses a database connection, and I want to declare (create) that connection in an include and use it throughout the application in various functions. I've tried making the connection object a public variable, a constant, making the functions public, passing the connection object in byRef, byVal, etc... I just can't get it to work. Is this not possible in classic ASP? I should also mention that if I take this code out of the function it works as expected. Thanks! Teg Ryan Here is a sample of what i'm trying to do: Include: <% public cn public rs public sql set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") cn.Open "Provider=MSDASQL; Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=[[path]];" %> Then here's one of the functions in the ASP file that has the include at the top: Function SQLSelect() sql = "select * from TABLE" rs.open sql,cn,3,3 ... etc End function Tag: ASP or Active X for Thick Client/ Server project?

    - IIS and VB. NET ASP Problem I apologize if it is in appropriate to post this in two newsgroups...I also posted on the IIS group... I just installed VB .net 2003 and wanted to be able to develop using ASP. I followed the instructions and installed IIS and the FP extensions (although when I install FP I get a message the Microsoft Personal Web Server could not be configured). I am running Windows XP Professional. When I open IIS in the Microsoft Management Consol I cannot start or restart the service and it is currently not started (does this matter?) When I open VB .net and try to add an ASP project I get the error message that "Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application because no Web server was detected at this URL: 'http://localhost/WebApplication1'. ; Make sure the Web server is installed and running.

    - Feedback if using CVS with windows for asp files Hi, I need a code versioning system and was considering CVS. I would like some feedback if you are using CVS (wincvs or tortoise etc) and if you are satisfied with it. One thing i havent been able to find too much documentation on and is one of my major concerns is permissions. If i install cvs can i assign access to certain files in the project to certain windows users. For example if my web application has page1.asp page2.asp and page3.asp and i would like user newbie to only access and modify page1.asp?

    - File uploading mixed with form input I've been browsing around the web for an answer to this and I can't find a good answer to it.... here's the problem: I am using an ASP include file called "ClsUpload.asp" to upload a text file for processing. I also have a select drop down that i am submitting along with the file, in order to determine where in the database this info goes. My problem is that I can upload the file without any problems, but I can't get at the select field at all. I first tried using the normal "Request("Listid")" function, but that didn't work (At first I was using it after the file upload and it gave me an error message. Then I moved it to before the upload and it doesn't give me an error anymore, but also doesn't seem to see anything). Then I tried request.form("listid"), which some of the discussions on the web point to. The code still sees nothing at all being submitted. I tried it both before and after the file upload.... I don't see any info on doing something like this within the clsupload.asp file, so I'm thinking that the problem is stemming from my use of the enctype="multipart/form-data" tag. How can I do this? I suppose that if worst comes to worst, i can just break the form up accross two pages and use it like that, but that seems kind of ugly. Is there a simple way around this?

    - HTTP headers ? How to pipe an ASP file through ? Hi Guys, I have a problem, and I would be grateful for any help. My WebApp has to do some database work in page1.ASP Because this may take a few second, before Page1 connects to the database, it doeas a "Response.Buffer=false", and pumps out a bit of javascript which displays a progress bar. SO far so good. When the database call is completed, I then write out a bit more javascript to stop the progress bar. Now, I have a binary fields retrieved from the database, which needs to be written like this : <% Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" [error] response.BinaryWrite (mydatabase field) %> Of course I am getting an error about HTTP headers having been written already. Can anyone suggest a way that I can display this PDF from Page1.asp ? At the moment, one I have done the database work (which populates the database) I have to transfer to PAGE2.ASP which then has to open the database, and retrieve the field again. The problem is that this process takes a few seconds too, which also requires the progressbar !!!!! What I would like to do, (if it's possible) is something like this : PAGE1.ASP <% ...[code to intialise progressbar]... ...[database call]... ...[clear progress bar]... ...[write db field as PDF]... %> thanks in advance Tag: ASP or Active X for Thick Client/ Server project?

    - killing winword.exe process - ASP and Office 2003 Howdy. I'm having difficulty getting winword.exe processes to die on our development server when using SET objWord = CreateObject("word.application") from an .ASP page. This problem exists on our development server only as we are still using Office 2000 components in production. No probs in production with the current code which has been in use for a couple of years now. I have to get these ASP pages working with word 2003 to avoid a rewrite of a few applications. I've tried using objWord.Quit and setting the object to "Nothing" but it has no effect on the running process on the server. Both development and prod servers are Win 2003 Server.

    - Windows XP Server object, ASP 0178 (0x80070005) The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. I found the best solution to this problem What you need to do is go to event viewer - System Log. Look at the error it will look something like that The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {671E00F1-44C3-401E-9E33-8E5E585F26BE} to the user WK01SF78\IUSR_XXXXXX SID (S-1-5-21-2939499473-2795378169-3261179525-1005). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. Open Component Services and Under DComConfig(Windows XP) find componnent {671E00F1-44C3-401E-9E33-8E5E585F26BE} and under Securities give "Everyone" full access (Under every tab) That solved my problem Tag: ASP or Active X for Thick Client/ Server project?

The employees who use it are not allowed access to the server it's requried to sit on which means that my username and password have to be included in the logon.asp page which I HATE! So when this fails, it publishes my usernanme and password on the screen for the user to see...brilliant!

    - Am I likely to cause an error? Hi all, I have some code which compares values in a recordset to that in an array. If it finds a match it needs to remove the item from the array. My concern is that my method for removing the item from the array is by iterating through it, if it doesn't match then I place the value into a "temporary" array, after all comparisions are completed I then set the original array to equal the temporary array. Am I likely to generate an error if my internal looping of the same array changes the array size, whilst still iterating through it.. eg.. For x = 0 to .... if comparision is true then for y = 0 to .... if comparision is false then ' add value to temporary array here end if next array = temporary array end if Next My feeling is that this will go mammories up...

    - how asp handle primary key violation and re-try insert statement? The ASP application inserts transaction records in transaction table with the system time as the primary key. However, it is possible to have primary key violation because the records in transaction table come from different sources. The application can show error message and the user can file a transaction again manually, but I want the application can have multiple re-tries to perform insert statement until there is no primary key violation. Here's the code, but I get stuck what code should i put to re-try the insert statement, a for loop?and perhaps re-try 3 times before showing the primary key violation error message to the user? <% set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.open "<connection string>" sql = "insert into p_tran values (convert(varchar, GETDATE(), 109), amount)" conn.execute(sql) if err.number <> 0 then Response.Write err.description end if conn.close set conn = nothing %> Errors ======== Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e2f' Cannot insert duplicate key row Please advise. thanks!!

    - How to pass a string between ASP pages Hello All Could anyone give me some suggestions on passing a long string between ASP pages? I have three asp pages - h_email content.asp, h_process_email.asp and h_preview_email.asp In the h_email_content.asp, user can enter their To, CC, From, email content and other information. In this page, there are two buttons at the bottom- "preview email" and "send email". Inside the h_process_email.asp, there are some logics on controlling email content and sending conditions as well as saving data into database. I put a condition in h_process_email.asp for redirecting to h_preview_email.asp (response.redirect "h_preview_email.asp") if the user clicks the "email preview" button. If I want to transfer the email addresses and content from h_process_email.asp page to h_email_preview page, how can I do it? P.S I can't change the ASP structures i.e I have to keep them in three pages. Cheers Bon Tag: ASP or Active X for Thick Client/ Server project? Tag: 323697

    - Forcing a reload? Hi all, I've got a little shopping cart app which when you use all of the links on the pages, and buttons etc, things are good, the "shopping basket" on the left navigation updates and shows a sum of items and cost. However, if you arrive at the home page for example, proceed to the products page, add an item and then click "back", you get a cached page. I appreciate there are some lines of code I can use, both ASP and html to prevent the cachine, but what I dont want to incur instead is that error IE (and other browsers too I guess - how very Microsoft of me :o) ) - shows when the page has expired, I think that would probably be worse than the cart not showing any items (or not showing the update) until a link was pressed...

    - Mailing App Duplicate problem... Guys, I've written an email sending script to mass send to our database - some of our subscribers are subscribed to multiple list, and so when selecting the entire database, I want to ensure I don't have Duplicates.

RS_RecipientsForCampaign.MoveNext If NOT RS_RecipientsForCampaign.EOF Then ** Do While TheUsersEmailAddress = RS_RecipientsForCampaign("Email") AND NOT RS_RecipientsForCampaign.EOF RS_RecipientsForCampaign.MoveNext Loop End If Loop ----------------------------------- When running, the script works fine, BUT I get an Unspecified error (I HATE that message) at the end of the script, pointing me to the line number marked with ** above.

    - AddHeader Content-Disposition Has no effect I have a IIS web site that works fine on one server but not another. I do not know if the problem is an IIS setting or something else so I will try to include as much detail as I have figured out so far. Several web pages allow the user to download PDF files to be viewed or saved locally on the user's machine, not in the browser. Those web pages all redirect to a single ASP page with QueryString parameters identifying the relative path to the desired file on a remote server. The redirect URL would be something like: download.asp?Src=Statements\2006\01\123456789 My download.asp code looks something like this: ================================================= Dim strSourceName Dim objDocServer ' Retrieve the path to the desired document strSourceName = Request.QueryString("Src") ' Call remote COM+ application and retrieve document as binary stream Set objDocServer = Server.CreateObject("DocumentServer.Application") Set objDocServer.Document = objDocServer.getDocument(strSourceName) With Response .Buffer = True .Clear .ContentType = "application/pdf" .AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.pdf;" .BinaryWrite(objDocServer.Document) End With ================================================= When I try to download a file, the browser shows the File Download dialog asking me to Open or Save the file but it shows the File name as "123456789" rather than "test.pdf". It also shows a blank value for the File type. Whether I choose Open or Save the same error appears: Internet Explorer cannot download 123456789 from <server>. Internet Explorer was not able to open this site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. If I comment out the AddHeader line, the File type shows correctly as Adobe Acrobat Document. If I change the AddHeader to inline rather than attachment, I see the binary data in the browser. This exact code works fine on another server and I have no idea why it will not work on this new server. What I find interesting is that the download wants to name the file as 123456789 which comes from a part of a QueryString value and nowhere else. Could this have something to do with the "\" characters in the QueryString being confused as path delimiters by IIS/ASP? Any ideas or help are appreciated!

    - Regular expression problem I want to search a string of HTML and insert a querystring into any url where the url is an asp page and is either a local link /folder/page.asp or of a specific domain http://www.somedomain.com/folder/page.asp.

    - String Manipulation I have a text string which comes from a form containing the article text in a knowledgebase. Sometimes people enter http links in their text however when they show on the webpage they do not show as hyperlinks, because obviously they don't gave the link tags around them. What I'd like is to manipulate this text string so that wherever there is http in it it put's the link tags around it. So what I'm really asking is, how can I convert this string: And to get to the blah blah site please go to http://blah-blah.com and you will find lots of blah blah there. Into this: And to get to the blah blah site please go to <a href="http://blah-blah.com">http://blah-blah.com</a> and you will find lots of blah blah there. It needs to be versatile as they may enter more than one http link within the text. Any help appreciated! Sergio. Tag: ASP or Active X for Thick Client/ Server project? Tag: 323640

    - status of ASP .NET I'm looking at C# and ASP .NET these days. Visual Sudio 2005 looks like a neat dev. env. But before committing, I would like to know more about the current status of these tools. I noticed, that my site hoster does not support ASP at all. And more providers do not... PHP however, IS supported a lot, but does not have anything like .NET facilities, does it ? What is the status of the language wars these days ? ASP is still the way to go ? What is the market doing ? fr gr Erik Tag: ASP or Active X for Thick Client/ Server project? Tag: 323631

I am working on a multimedia surveillance program, which has both a
thick server and a thick client. The client consists of both unmanaged
C++ and managed C# code. It is desired to have the client output in a
browser window, and I want to know the feasibility of incorporating
ASP to provide the development of web pages and windows forms.

Would this project be better suited for Active X technology or is ASP
a better choice?
