    - QueryString Not Accesible from the Server (Please Respond) Hi. I have HTML on my form that was constructed on the server. The "browser" is a PopUp that was previously fired from another page. This popup is a standard browser pop-up, nothing fancy or unique. There are two forms inside the pop-up: They both have javascript buttons on them that submit the form. The submit constructs a querystring that gets sent to the server. When i look at it on the server, Length is always 0. What am i doing wrong? I have tried this using an input button with type=submit also and i still get length = 0. One of the two forms is as such: <form action='view_webinar_free.aspx' name='view_webinar_free' id='view_webinar_free'><div class='formButtons'><a href='javascript:submitviewer();' class='textBtnRed formBtn'><span>View Webinar</span></a></div></form> Bot forms and enclosing HTML is below: <div class="mod1Col"> <div class="shbox"> <div class="sh1"> <div class="sh2"> <div class="box">  <div class="modHeader deepPurpleBG"> <h2>View webinar</h2> </div>   <div class="modBody modHeight160"> <div class="modCopy"> <p>Click on the button below to access the webinar.</p><form action='view_webinar_free.aspx' name='view_webinar_free' id='view_webinar_free'><div class='formButtons'><a href='javascript:submitviewer();' class='textBtnRed formBtn'><span>View Webinar</span></a></div></form> </div> </div>  </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="shbox"> <div class="sh1"> <div class="sh2"> <div class="box">  <div class="modHeader deepPurpleBG"> <h2>Login to the presenter</h2> </div>   <div class="modBody modHeight360"> <div class="modCopy"> <p>Click on the button below to access the presentation interface.</p><br /><form action='presenter_interface.aspx' name='presenter_interface?music=love&travel=love&sports=love' id='presenter_interface' ><ul><li><label>Email:</label><input type='text' class='input_small' id='oEmail' /></ li><li><label>Password:</label><input type='password' class='input_small' id='oPass' /></li></ul><div class='formButtons'><a href='javascript:submitpresenter();' class='textBtnRed formBtn'><span>Login</span></a></div></form> </div> </div>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tag: q; Search engine; Dynamic pages Tag: 511458

    - 2 projects, but only 1 login Hi, I have 2 projects on a domain, like this: www.example.com/ www.example.com/community/ I am using .net membership so they will only need 1 login. BUT, since /community is a seperate IIS virtual folder, how will it know to use the same login cookie (forms authentication) from the other virutal application (i.e. www.example.com ) ?

    - Properly using directorysearcher to find a user in an AD Group I'm trying to do a check to see if a specific active directory user account exists in active directory AND a specific group. I can't seem to get the filter down right. I can do this to find a matching name in active directory: ================================================ Dim oroot As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://my.domain.local") Dim osearcher As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(oroot) Dim oresult As SearchResultCollection Dim result As SearchResult osearcher.Filter = "(&(sAMAccountName=jsmith))" oresult = osearcher.FindAll For Each result In oresult If Not result.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("SAMAccountName").Value Is Nothing Then Response.Write(result.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("SAMAccountName").Value & "<br />") End If Next 'This results in "jsmith' being printed to the screen (if jsmith exists in active directory) ================================================ I can do this to find a specific group name: ================================================ Dim oroot As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://my.domain.local") Dim osearcher As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(oroot) Dim oresult As SearchResultCollection Dim result As SearchResult osearcher.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=Group)(sAMAccountName=Domain Admins))" oresult = osearcher.FindAll For Each result In oresult If Not result.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("SAMAccountName").Value Is Nothing Then Response.Write(result.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("SAMAccountName").Value & "<br />") End If Next 'This results in "Domain Admins' being printed to the screen ================================================ I can even change the osearcher.filter to just (sAMAccountName=Domain Admins) and get the same result. I'm trying to figure out how I can return the result (say, the user name (samaccountname)) if the search paramater is both in AD and in the specific group (or just the specific group). My goal is to do a check like this (pseudocode): ================================================ Dim strUser as string = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") Dim strADUser = osearcher.Filter = "(&(sAMAccountName=" & strUser & "))" If strUser = strADUser Then Page.Redirect(ToSomePage) Else Page.Redirect(ToFailedPage) End If ================================================ I Also need to check to see if they're in a specific group. I don't know how I'd go about that. If, for instance, they're in the Sales group in AD, then I could redirect them to the appropriate page. I could also, of course, keep them out of other pages if they don't belong. TIA, Jim Tag: q; Search engine; Dynamic pages Tag: 511453

I put a breakline on line 36 and when I hit F10 ArticleDataSource.IsValidNewValues will throw a FormatException.

    - ListBox populated with Javascript shows no members upon Callback Hi all, I was wondering if what I am seeing is to be expected or maybe I'm setting things up wrong with the Update Panels. I am programming in VS 2008 with VB. I have a page with multiple update panels. At the bottom of the page I have an update panel with UpdateMode="Always" where I store hidden fields. I use them for communication with the server and maintaining state upon Callbacks. The fields appear to be always Read/Write accessible at the server during the page callback. One of the other update panels is set to UpdateMode="Conditional" ChildrenAsTriggers="false" and I have defined some trigger buttons (AsyncPostBackTrigger) that are clicked from within JavasScript functions. There is an asp listbox (Id = "lstSelected") in that panel which I populate clientside using the JavaScript DOM, depending on what the user selects from a Grid . Upon callback with the Trigger defined for the update panel, I discover that in Page_Load Me.lstSelected.Items.Count = 0. There are no Items found in the lisbox even though they were clearly there in the Browser document having been placed there with JavaScript. Is this to be expected that listboxes populated in this manner show as empty at the server during callback? I have resorted to populating some hidden fields with delimited strings representing the contents of the listbox. These are populated at the same time as the listbox entries are created via JavaScript...but as I said, for some reason they persist. Can anyone tell me why I might be seeing this type of behavior? Thanks for any replies. Tag: q; Search engine; Dynamic pages Tag: 511314

    - Need help with dynamically loaded user control losing changes... I have been struggling with this for weeks. Each time I thought I had it figured out, it has reared its ugly head again! :) Any help is SO appreciated since my project deadline is Friday!!!! ************What I am trying to do: I have a bunch of user controls that are loaded and unloaded one at a time. Before one control is loaded, a SaveControl method is called to save any changes the user made in the previous control. ************What is happening: I am dynamically loading a user control in a place holder like this: Control ctl = new Control(); ctl = LoadControl("AssessmentDemographics.ascx"); The control loads fine. A user is able to change values of controls in the user control. Once they have made their changes, they click on the next control they want to load. However, when the SaveControl method in the usercontrol is triggered the first time, the changes are saved. But then any other changes made are lost! I have stepped through the code and watched the new values entered by the user disappear. For example, a patient has been entered with the first name of "John". The user changes the name to "Jack", but when the SaveControl method is called and the first name property is being set to the text box's text, it says the text box text still says John. I am not sure what I am doing right the first time and doing wrong every other time! I don't know what I am missing. I will post some code to give a better idea of what I am doing. Hopefully it isn't as confusing as I am feeling right now. :) TIA, Rosemary //*****************CODE TO FOLLOW****************************** //---------------------------MAIN PAGE------------------------------------------ //I have link buttons that a user can click to change which form they are working on. //Each time a link is clicked, the current form is saved, and the new one loaded protected void lnkDemographics_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Utility is just a class I created to help me convert values without having null errors, etc....

    - Exception handling source line number I am using global.asax to handle my web application exceptions and have configured it to create event log entries for errors that occur and to display an error page advising the user to contact the helpdesk. I have an intermittent uninitialised object error that I am not able to reproduce in test and for which I really need the source line number. I believe this information is contained in the PDB but am not sure if one is created if I set the debug="true" flag in the compilation part of the system.web section of the web.config when the application is recompiled. Anyone any idea? Regards, Major. p.s. Major is my Christian name ;-) Tag: q; Search engine; Dynamic pages Tag: 511310

    - Drill through in Report Viewer Control - Urgent Hi, I have a strange issue with the report control viewer. I am using "Report Viewer Control" to display SSRS 2005 reports in an ASP.NET site(aspx page) which is integrated with a sharepoint 2007(MOSS) site.The problem is that the main report is displaying properly.But when I drillthrough to another report from the main report,the drillthrough report is not displayed instead I get a standard X placeholder. But the reports are working fine in both "ReportServer" as well as in "ReportManager" and there are no issues in passing parameters as well. The most funniest thing is that when I call the report by clicking on the button in the aspx page which is meant to call the report the drillthrough report appears all of a sudden with no problem. I have absolutely no idea as to why this problem is occuring. Is there any workaround for problem.Is there something which I am not doing which is to be done in order to get this working like some "configuration settings" or "property settings" etc. Any solution to this problem is appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Regards, ArvindRavish Tag: q; Search engine; Dynamic pages Tag: 511301

    - Dataset being overwritten by multiple users? I've got an aspnet page (vb) that runs a stored procedure, pipes it in a dataset, and binds to a gridview. The parameters for the stored procedure are some URL variables. My problem is when multiple ( 2 or more) people click on this link at the exact same time, the dataset seems to be getting overwritten. If person A clicks on their link, and person B clicks on theirs at the same time, person A is getting Person B's data, and vice versa. I'm almost positive this has something to do with multiple accessing the dataset at the same time. Is this the case? What's the workaround? TIA Tag: q; Search engine; Dynamic pages Tag: 511300

    - Dynamic GridView Hi, I have a dropdown list that is populated with table names from my database using SqlDataSource1. When I change the selected index I can get the table name back from the dropdown and display it in a label. What I want to do is display the data from the table selected in the dropdown in the GridView control but I have no idea how to do it. So basically everytime the user selects a different table from the dropdown the data is displayed in the GridView. The columns in each of the tables could be different. I used to do this kind of thing all the time in ASP, but can't work out the way or approach to do this. I'm using Framework 2.0, VS Express 2008 and SQL Server 2000.

    - Web Extensions, small demo. Hi all As this is a WebForm group and not a Web Extensions (AKA MVC) group this is probably not the place, but I am curious as to what people think so I hope you guys don't mind me posting this here? Here's a small (far from complete) example of how to write a test-driven website using ECO and the new Web Extensions from Microsoft. http://mrpmorris.blogspot.com/2008/03/small-sample-website.html Note: I do not get commission! In fact I don't work for these guys either, they just let me have an email address because I help out so much in their newsgroups :-) It's hard to explain what ECO is. ECO (Enterprise Core Objects) is kind of like an object persistence framework, but it's also much more. Basically I use it for all of my business apps, because I define all of my business classes in a UML modeler and it creates / maintains the DB structure for me (you can create custom mappings to existing DBs too). It does all other sorts of lovely things such as in-memory transactions, UML modeled state machine execution etc. I'll stop about ECO because it's detracting from the main purpose of my post (the part above the URL), but I wanted to make sure you at least had a basic idea of what it was considering it is used in the example :-) Pete Tag: q; Search engine; Dynamic pages Tag: 511291

Search engine crawlers are really good at one thing:
--following links.
It really does not matter how the content is generated at all - whether it
comes out of a database, or from the filesystem, or whatever. If a crawler
follows a link (as long as it doesn't have more than 2 or three items on the
querystring) it will index the content. End of story.
