Re: Creating a new ASP.Net Web App. Where to start.

I would start with requirements. How do you know controls are necessary or what the layout will be, what the functionality will be necessary, etc.

Thanks for the reply Mark. I already know the requirements and I've already modeled and created my database. I've been writing SQL and working with SQL Server as a systems analyst for 12 years. I've also written some MS Applications in the past and have dabbled with C# and VB.Net, but I'm just now starting out with web development. I've been learning some ASP.Net and am wanting to create some initial pages for my web app to get a feel for it. I'm comfortable enough placing and programming basic controls on the page, but the CSS and design not so much. My initial question is whether I should place my controls on the page first or design the page first using CSS.

Another question I have is whether I should rely on CSS for my placement of page elements or whether I should use tables.

Thanks.
Kris

Table layouts render slower and are for the most part depreciated in favor of CSS layouts. Start with the layout then you can plug in controls.

How to color a specific region on imagemap

I need some guidance on a scenario -

Let's say I have a map of the State of Kansas with each county outlined. I will need to make each county a hotspot, so the entire image would be an imagemap - however, what if I needed to color the Capital a different color dynamically? The map will be a standard image, not google maps or anything like this. Is there any graphics code that I could use to recognize the imagemap coordinates and color the whole county a particular color? Or another question would be can the graphics code detect the region of a county and color it?

What I originally tested was when I created the hotspot coordinate I created another div to place the RectangleHotSpot inside of, and used a style to set the background color. This might have worked but the Div was boxy, and the counties are of no particular shape. I need the whole county a specified color and not just parts of it.

Any help or idea's would be appreciated. This is asp.net, C# Thanks.

I want to put highlights or technology news from different resource on my home page so when ever I find an interesting aeticle I will put it there

My question is regarding the news url, which option is better specially to support my website ranking, to put the news title with the real news url like cnn.com/xxxx or to put it with my url which is news.aspx?id=999 where 999 is the I'd of the article in my news table or to use a shorten link like goo.gl or x.co with a redirect to the real url?

What's your advise?

Whichever url format it is, I think it doesn't matter.
The only thing matter is Url should be a valid one.

Alexa is useful to get "website traffic report" for a website.

Actually website traffic is nothing but popularity of the website based on hit rates, keywords, contents, etc., If you want to make your site as popular you should do SEO methods.

Have anyone tried to post to LinkedIn from ASP.NET?

Could you please tell me which API you are using to do that and where can I get it?

I have searched on web but couldn't find much info and am afraid to go for an API which will hack my data and steal my password!

Hello,

I am trying to create asp:RectangleHotSpot on imageMap and was wondering how can I set border for the HotSopt so it will always be visible, even if Mouse is not over the image.

Will really appriciate if someone can help me out with this.

<asp:ImageMap runat="server" ID="imgMap" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1" BorderColor="Gray" ImageUrl="testImg.jpg">
     <asp:RectangleHotSpot Top="10" Left="0" Right="300" Bottom="30" AlternateText="demo">

Hi,

I have one big application, which contains an asp.net application and several Class Libraries. When I right click on ASP.Net web application I am seeing "Add Web References" but when I right click on class libraries I am seeing only "Add References and Add Service References" how should I add a "Web Service" to the class library if I want to consume the Web methods that are available in the Web Service.
Any link or any kind of link any thing is usefull.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but I have to reference a web service which is a .asmx file rather than service contract. Can I reference a web service as a Service Reference?
When I accessed the Web service as Service Reference it was showing the RPC Channel some thing like that instead of the classes in that Web service. Whats should I do now?
I dont have any idea

Of course you can.
