Yeah. It is the same as in creating a Windows App. Sure you can use the drag-and-drop controls, but once you get past the basics you realise what a bad job they do.

Oh you poor bugger. I actually send an email to all new guys working here to "avoid Interdev themes at all costs, even for examples, samples, prototypes or just scrap projects."
I think MS actually realised what a joke Interdev was and so threw in Themes, FrontPage Server Extensions and those drag and drop widgets. I so hate seeing _vti folders in my web projects, brings tears to my eyes and then laughs of happiness as I delete them.

You mean I can dump them? What the heck are they for? And why does every project, no matter how simple, need to have its own copy of every html control script ever produced?
Just in case I win the Lottery this week, what web authoring tool do you recommend?

If you are not using FrontPage Server Extensions then yes, go ahead.

Support files and folders for the FrontPage Server Extensions crap.

Because they want you to use FPSE.

LOL this will seem very odd but I actually do use Interdev (well, VS.NET now.) It does a good job of syntax highlighting and it leaves your code alone well enough. Plus I get it with our MSDN subscription.
Dreamweaver MX is a good editor and it comes with Homesite which is also excellent.
Look, Interdev is fine if you leave all the "helpful" features alone and just use it as a big text editor with project management tools. It integrates nicely with Visual SourceSafe which is also useful.
But I would never pay money for Interdev (yes, yes people will say but I do because I buy MSDN. I buy MSDN for the other cool stuff, not Interdev.)

I have "Professional Active Server Pages 3.0" (authors : Homer, Sussman, Francis) - WROX.
It is a very complete book with almost everything about ASP pages.

Damn! I saw that book on the computerbooksdirect.com website last night and considered ordering it, but today it's gone!!!! Thanks for the recommendation, though - I'm sure Amazon will be able to find it.

Hi, everyone!
My window.prompt window often displays at the top
left of IE window. I want to display it in the
center of IE browser.
I have searched MSDN but failed. How to do it?
Cheers,

well! i have a problem which is a bit different from the general mood of questions here!
I have a client server application for which i want to calculate that:
in order to serve 40 client connections (doing file transfers with average file size being 3MB),
for which the clients must be having a download speed of atleast 4KB/sec
how much bandwidth must be allocated at the server side so that it server those 40 clients well!
I want answer to this specific quiestion and if some one can give me a formula for this i'll be very thankful.

An exact formula I can't provide, but a rule of thumb I use with decent results is to multiply the number of expected simultaneous client connections by the average acceptable download rate, then double it. In your case, the raw data rate required is 40 (#clients) X 4kbps (acceptable rate) = 160kbps. Since data packets are not pure data, and contain a significant amount of overhead, this rate won't be sufficient. Also, collisions will occur no matter how much bandwidth you allocate, so there has to be an allowance for retransmission of packets. Doubling the raw value has worked well enough for me, though it's probably overkill. In your specific case, I'd start with about 300kbps as a target value. If all the clients are not using the connection at the same time, 256k might be quite acceptable.
[EDIT]
I should mention that the above is idealized quite a bit, assuming a dedicated virtual circuit between each client and the server. If your network is based on hubs, every packet will be sent to every node, and the bandwidth requirement will be much higher. In a switched or routed environment this calculation is easier, as the switch will maintain a virtual connection for you. You really have to look at the topology you have and do the math for each segment on a case by case basis, then design for the worst case.

Is this a FAQ?
What is/are the best ways of migrating an ASP App to ASP.NET?

Rewrite it entirely. Do not do what everybody says to do: "Just rename the file from .asp to .aspx.  In order to make full use of the features of ASP.NET, you would want to rewrite the app entirely.

I am having a BIG problem with something SMALL!!
I am trying to have my Databound field "NOTETEXT" WRAP, insted of expanding the table
to hold the full text. It seems to ignore my wishes!
(ignore the double <<'s need to display correctly in this msgboard)
<<asp:TableRow runat="server" CssClass="NoteBody" >
<<asp:TableCell runat="server" HorizontalAlign="Left" ColumnSpan="2" Width="200" Wrap="true" ID="Tablecell1"><<asp:Label Runat="server" ID="NoteBody" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.NoteText") %>' />
<</asp:TableCell>
<</asp:TableRow>
The table that the above code lives in is set to Width "100%" in order to fully use the space provided by it's parent table..
I am postive I'm missing something obvious, but I'm WELL past the point of being able to SEE the obvious!
TIA.

Hi,
I am using ASP (not .Net) to display a crystal report. The form on the page before takes two dates in the format 'dd/mm/yyyy'. It also reads in a Firm ID from a session variable (arb, but maybe useful info).
The problem comes with this line:
set crtable = session("oRpt").Database.Tables.Item(1)
How do I add the other 2 items? I've tried
set crtable = session("oRpt").Database.Tables.Item(1) & session("oRpt").Database.Tables.Item(2) & session("oRpt").Database.Tables.Item(3)
but apparently that is not the correct way to concatenate more than one item (I have this working for other reports with only one value being passed to the stored procedure)
If anyone knows the syntax for that line, please help!
Thanks!

Does anyone know why a .NET app sometimes just seems to "time out" if something takes a bit too long when the app starts?
I started my app in debug mode, and set a breakpoint inside the Page_Load() event. I had looked at a variable's value for about 10 seconds when the app just gave up and stopped running.
|
|
|
|
|
Could this possibly be due to working in a stateless environment?

This is just a web application project on my own machine. I have done nothing special regarding state.
In this project, this behaviour started after I installed Win2000 SP3 earlier today. Before I installed it, the project still loaded slowly (about 20 seconds), but at least the page loaded. Now it just gives up after about 10 seconds. I suspect that this service pack set a value somewhere, but that's just a guess.
This behaviour only occurs if I start my app from inside Visual Studio. (Whether I start it for debugging or not.) If I start the page from the browser, it loads fine (although slowly).

That is fine, however you need to understand that in web applications there is no state, you data and variables etc. only exist when they are on the server, they (e.g. - variables...) don't just wait for you at the server forever, it returns to the calling machine even if it is local.

But the problem is not with variables or data - it's that if I start my app from within Visual Studio .NET, it spontaneously shuts down if anything takes a bit too long when it's loading. Yet the page does load correctly if you load it directly from the browser.

Hi
I'm new to the Web side of .NET, but how does one create "expandable" dataitem such as those in the forum (dynamic view)?
Thanx in advance

leppie,
There are several ways to do this here is a script that will work.
<script language="javascript">
function tierMenu(objMenu,objImage)
{
if (objMenu.style.display == "none")
{
objMenu.style.display = "";
objImage.src = "/pics/expand.gif";
}
else
{
objMenu.style.display = "none";
objImage.src = "/pics/collapse.gif";
}
}
</script>
<div align="left" onclick="tierMenu(menu1, img1);">
<img src="/pics/book.gif" id="img1" style="{cursor:hand;}" WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="16">
<font SIZE="2" COLOR="#006666" style="{cursor:hand;}" onmouseover="color='#669999'" onmouseout="color='#006666'">
<b>Display Text To Be Clicked</b>
</font>
</div>
<br>
<span ID="menu1" STYLE="display: none">
<font size="2">
This is the information that will show once the display text is clicked
</font>
</span>

Thanx Nick, will have a look into it.
Tell me, is C# server-side, exclusively or can u run it on the client?
|
|
|
|
|
Server side only, you can run Javascript through the client. At least Javascript it still has the ; at the end of a line.

This is probably a dumb question (ducks) but I just wrote my first application to actually use a .NET Web Service to retrieve content. It was really very easy to do and I like it alot... but .NET is actually going a step further than I really need it to. In my case, I actually WANT the raw XML response that's coming back from the web service. However, .NET is appropriately using the WDSL to package the response into a member of variable of the specified return type... which is really nice... if I needed that. Can anyone help me get at the XML response itself?

WebResponse webresponse = webrequest.GetResponse();
