I created a web application in vs2008. I click run in that. It works. Then I create a virtual directory using IIS. From IIS itself, I try to run that application. But it shows the following error.

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/example/'. Line 1, Position 2

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="example._default" %>
-^

Can anybody help me.
I am using IIS 5.1

Thanks in advance
Regards

calling javascript from c#

hi guys,

I am stuck on the issue of being able to call a javascrip function from my c# code.
This is my javascript:

<br />
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript"><br />
    function showPosition()<br />
    {<br />
        var oElement = document.all.resultPanel;<br />
        return oElement.offsetLeft;<br />
    }<br />
  </SCRIPT><br />

The javascript itself works fine, the problem comes down to how do I call my javascript in c#. This was my attempt:

<br />
        private void CallJavascript()<br />
        {<br />
            string popupScript = "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JScript'>" + "function showPosition(){ var oElement = document.all.resultPanel; return    oElement.offsetLeft;}</SCRIPT>";<br />
            Page.RegisterStartupScript("PopupScript", popupScript);<br />
            Label1.Text = popupScript.ToString(); //this is wrong<br />
        }<br />

Can someone please help me correct the CallJavascript() method.

thanks

A hidden field can be something similar to the input element as suggested in the example below ?

<br />
<script runat="server"><br />
  public void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
  {<br />
    // Define the name and type of the client scripts on the page.<br />
    String csname2 = "ButtonClickScript";<br />
    Type cstype = this.GetType();<br />
        <br />
    // Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.<br />
    ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;<br />
<br />
    // Check to see if the client script is already registered.<br />
    if (!cs.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered(cstype, csname2))<br />
    {<br />
      StringBuilder cstext2 = new StringBuilder();<br />
      cstext2.Append("<script type=\"text/javascript\"> function DoClick() {");<br />
      cstext2.Append("var oElement = document.all.Panel1; Form1.Message.value= oElement.offsetLeft;} </");<br />
      cstext2.Append("script>");<br />
      cs.RegisterClientScriptBlock(cstype, csname2, cstext2.ToString(), false);<br />
    }<br />
  }<br />
</script><br />
<html  ><br />
  <head><br />
    <title>ClientScriptManager Example</title><br />
  </head><br />
  <body><br />
     <form id="Form1"<br />
         runat="server"><br />
        <input type="text" id="Message" /> <br />
        <input type="button" value="ClickMe" onclick="DoClick()" /><br />
        <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" style="position:absolute;top: 375px;left: 628px;height: 422px;width: 513px;  border-color:Red;border-width:thick;border-style:solid"></asp:Panel><br />
     </form><br />
  </body><br />
</html><br />

1. The pros of "GetLocalResourceObject" and "GetGlobalResourceObject" is to help you achieve

Gloabalization and Localization easily. Cons is that writing code is a little complex than usual.
2. You can use Xml file instead of Resources, as resource itself is in xml format. I would not

suggest you use xml files, because you will lose the ability of using the build-in resource

Localization/Globalization support.
3. The captions of controls should also be get from the resource file.
4. Since .NET 3.5 hasn't been released yet, I do not know whether it will have any new feature on

this.

You can take a look at the following links for more information

You need to have the translation service for that. so, you may develop your own one or you can use the third-party translation web services....

hi everyone,

I have 4 DropDownList controls which are used to take the starting time and ending time of a business. I only take hours and minutes for the Starting time.

Now I want to put some client side validation so that the starting time is less than the ending time. I'm using 24 hour notation so AM/PM is not an issue.

How can i make use of Javascript here. plz give me some idea/guidance/code sample(if any)

Thanks in advance

You can add javascript like DropDownList.Attributes.Add("OnClick","YourJS()");. Onclick is the event and can be anything applicable to dropdownlist.

All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia

If yes then you can try this page in Mozilla.. then, click "open popup" link and see whether you got new window or not..

Just store the DOB from the text box and use this

it would be simpler for you to calculate age in your database server

like

SELECT DATEDIFF(year, yourbirthdayfield, GETDATE()) AS Age

FROM YourTable

this will return the a field in your query that has the age.

Common mistake (I've made it myself).

Today is 6 Dec 2007. If my birthdate is 5 December 1997 this returns my age as 10. If my birthday is 7 Dec 1997 this also returns my birthdate as 10.

<br />
DECLARE @myBirthday1 DATETIME<br />
DECLARE @myBirthday2 DATETIME<br />
<br />
SET @myBirthday1 = '5 dec 1997'<br />
SET @myBirthday2 = '7 dec 1997'<br />
<br />
SELECT DATEDIFF(year, @myBirthday1, GETDATE())<br />
SELECT DATEDIFF(year, @myBirthday2, GETDATE())<br />

result:
10
10

FYI the correct way to calculate this is not quite so simple (unfortunately)

<br />
(case when dateadd(year,datediff(year,[birthdate],getutcdate()),[birthdate])>getutcdate() then datediff(year,[birthdate],getutcdate())-(1) else datediff(year,[birthdate],getutcdate()) end)<br />

1) Parse the Text from the textbox into a DateTime.
2) Find the difference between that date and the current date in years.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
