There are several example of this in MSDN. I have now reconsidered this though. My hosting service uninstalled .NET from their servers which left all the files, including the web.config, downloadable by anyone who cared to enter them in the navbar.

I have since created a dll to place the settings in. People can still download it if the site is exposed again, but it will be harder to decompile then reading an xml document.

I use a system DSN in web.config

<appSettings>
<add key="DsnMyDB" value="Provider=MySQLProv;Data Source='DSN=MyDB'" />
</appSettings>

and then access it from code with

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DsnMyDB"];

Several controls on my UserControl have little red exclamation point icons over them. Hovering over them, or clicking them (with either mouse button) tells me nothing about what they mean. When I run my web page, it works fine. Huh??? WTF | :WTF:

Thanks in advance for any help.

Template Driven Website Using ASP

Hello!
Is anyone familiar with how to make an ASP template site.
Would this require making an Application for IIS? or no?

Anyone have some advice or ideas?

Thanks,
-Sean Smile | :)

The common way is to use INCLUDE files.

You have your template code in seperate INCLUDE files which are then included into the content pages.

e.g.

Your template files:

header.asp

<html>
 <head>
  <title><%=strTitle%></title>
 </head>
<body>

menu.asp

<table align="left">
 <tr>
  <td>
   <a href="default.asp">Home</a><br>
   <a href="about.asp">About</a>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

footer.asp

  <p>Copyright Joe Schmoe</p>
 </body>
</html>

Now your pages:

default.asp

<%
 Dim strTitle
 strTitle = "Home"
%>
<!-- #include file="header.asp" -->
<!-- #include file="menu.asp" -->
  <h1>Welcome to my page</h1>
  <p>Hi, blah blah balhb albhablahb</p>
<!-- #include file="footer.asp" -->

about.asp

<%
 Dim strTitle
 strTitle = "About"
%>
<!-- #include file="header.asp" -->
<!-- #include file="menu.asp" -->
  <h1>About Us</h1>
  <p>Hi, blah blah balhb albhablahb some other content</p>
<!-- #include file="footer.asp" -->

The above will have two content pages called about.asp and default.asp. Both use the header.asp, menu.asp and footer.asp template files which wrap around the individual content for each page.

You can then edit the menu.asp file and it will be reflected in both the home and about pages.

Hope that is what you meant by templates Smile | :)

Password textbox

27-May-02 12:00

I am trying to populate a textbox that has the password type set. I want to put junk in it so it looks like there is something there, not the correct password of course. It doesn't seem to matter if I add text in the html

<asp:textbox runat="server" type="password">Junk Here

or assign it through code

txtPassword.Text = "Junk Here";

When the control is rendered it is empty. Is this by desing or am I missing something? I just want some placeholder characters.

Hmm.... as I remember you need to use "value" property, like:

<input type=password value="Jank here">

Maybe it changed in .NET? Dunno Smile | :)

That's the ticket. Curious that value isn't a recognized attribute for a textbox control but it puts the text in, where as the text property does not. Confused | :confused:

Writing Application Mappings for new file types on a ASP.NET server

Domenic Denicola27-May-02 6:12

27-May-02 6:12

I want to create my own file type, which when requested by the web server is handled differently than simply sending its data to the client. It should pass through either a ASP.NET page or an application, which transforms the file (which is actually an XML file) according to an XSL stylesheet, on the server side, and sends the resulting data to the client as if that was the data the file actually contained.

I've looked into the IIS Manager applet, and what I'm looking for seems to be in here: Expand Web sites, right click default web site, choose properties, choose home directory, click configuration.

So, it looks like I need to write an application. A dll, actually. Problem is, how? How do I recieve the data I need (the filename of the file to transform), and give back the data I want to give (the transformed XML)? Perhaps I get passed a HttpRequest and HttpResponse object, that I Response.Write() to? So what does my Main() look like?

Can I even do this with a managed DLL? All the ones on that list don't seem to be, as I can't ildasm.exe them.

Someone must have done this before. Help?

Create an HTTPHandler, and use web.config to assign it to the extension:

[In Web.Config]
<httpHandlers>
    <add verb="*" path="*.CustomExtension" type="MyHandler.ExtensionHandler, MyHandler" />
</httpHandlers>

[In ExtensionHandler.cs]
using System;
using System.Web;

namespace MyHandler 
{
   public class ExtensionHandle  : IHttpHandler
   {
      public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) {
         HttpResponse Response = context.Response;
         HttpRequest Request = context.Request;
         //Do your work here - requested file == Request.FilePath
      }
 
      public bool IsReusable {
         get {
            return true;
         }
      } 
   }
}

If you're just transforming XML files, you may want to look at the XSLISAPI filter from MS, which does exactly that.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

This looks perfect! Researching XSLISPAI right now, but more importantly I have acquired the knowledge of how to do this myself, in MANAGED code!

OK, the sample I got this from was posted to the GotDotNet site by Donald Buchanan. The instructions to get it working are:

Create a new web project, and add ExtensionHandler.cs to it
Create or update the web.config file in the root of your project with the HTTPHandler details

Open IIS Admin

Find your project, and add the mapping for your extension.
1. This should be mapped to the aspnet_isapi.dll - just copy the path from the aspx extension.
2. You can limit the verbs to GET, HEAD, POST and DEBUG.
3. Tick the "Script Engine" option, and [optionally] un-tick "Check that file exists".
If you have URLScan installed, you may need to modify the configuration to allow the extension through. The URLScan.ini file contains details of how to do this.
Compile your project.
Run!

You can use Response.BinaryWrite if you have the data of image. Remember to set up the header of the page to apropriate content-type

OnMouseover and the like are client side. You can always add the attribute and provide the JavaScript to handle it.
