Can this work?

It will work, but that will make the query prone to SQL Injection Attacks[^].

I have a master content web page application. I was told that I can set the style in the code behind by using the following:

if (Request.Browser.Version == "8.0")
Page.StyleSheetTheme = "Theme";

I have put this code in both the onLoad and the onInit in the content page and every time I run it I get the following error:

'The StyleSheetTheme property cannot be set, please override the property instead.'

Can anyone help.

Thanks,

Steve Holdorf

Themes are set in the PreInit event handler. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tx35bd89(v=VS.80).aspx[^]

Hi Guys,

I want to implement following architecture and want to check with you if it generally makes sense, what you think about it and whether I could do it in a better way.

There is a gaming server which can provide information on the fly using a C++ plugin. I'd like to use this information, process it and display on web so people can look and see what's happening in the game without having the actual game. So I decided to open a TCP/IP connection between the gaming server and a web server (which will be sitting on a web hosting site, haven't decided which one yet). My worry is whether I'll be able to use the web server as a TCP/IP communication server, so the game plugin can connect to my web server listening for incomming connections on a background thread and receive the information.

Facts:

Gaming server running C++ game and a TCP/IP client sending data potentionally every second

Web Server (ASP.NET + Silverlight 4) running a TCP/IP server on a background thread listening for game server(s - will be potentionally more) and waiting for data.

I know it's a very trick question, but do you think that this architecture makes sense? Do you think I'll be able to connect to my webserver using TCP/IP from outside? Or would a different protocol by better? (sending data using http, but I'd like to avoid that as I think it would be slower and I would not be able to talk back to the gaming server if I needed).

Regards,
Stevo

You will have to first make sure that the hosting site you are using allows TCP/IP communications, most probably only allow HTTP outbound only.

My suggestion is (and not the only suggestion), if this is possible with the plugin you mentioned, have the plugin write to a database all the results you are wanting to see. Create a web service that will be used by the web page to query the database for the updated data. You can have the plugin update the database as much as you want and query the database as much as you want. So the performance will be there like any other web site.

If you can connect via TCP/IP to the host and from the game server, you could use Remoting and create an http/tcp channel to do this as well.

Hope this helps a little. There are more ways to do this, but only have time to post this suggestion.

That's very true. I've checked with a couple of hosting sites and they are not really keen to do it this way. Also, because of my poor C++ skills (hey I'm working with Silverlight 4, that's a different world...) I want to keep the C++ part as simple as possible. After a lot of swearing and effort I've managed to use CURL, pthreads and JSON to send the data from the plugin to the webserver and there I'm handling it with a custom handler. This way it's also simple for anyone to deploy the plugin - that's one of the important things as well - KISS Smile | :)

. I've never done database stuff in C++ and I'm scared even to google for that Laugh | :laugh:

. I'd like to keep all the business logics on the webserver. Thanks for your imput though, I still don't know how is it going to turn out, it's an interesting project. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

waiting for your kind help

The error message says it all, the credentials you are using don't have SELECT access to the table. Use different credentials or add the rights to the user in Sql Server

hello sir
thanks for your rep.

as you mentioned but i dont know how to do it so could you please tell me how to do it

waiting for your kind help

thanks

Don't know how to do what? Use a different connection string? Change permissions in SQL Server? If it's the former, then you need more help than just that. If the latter, then contact the SQL admin.

Dear Freinds,

I have taken C1Toolbar on my master page, on click event of this toolbar, i try to generate excel from a grid on my content page.

There is one Filter button on Content page, for grid filtering.

When i click on Master page toolbar to generate excel report, and excel is re-directed on content page by "Response.Redirect("Excel");" statement.

After this process, whenever i click on Filter button on content page, master page toolbar event is called and the excel report is generated again. I dont know what is going wrong?

However, when i remove the "Response.Redirect("Excel");" statement the system works absolutely normal.

I dont know what is wrong? Please help.

I am exposing Master Page controls as public property and registering/calling its event on content pages.

Your expert opinion required.

Regards

Soulds like you are not checking IsPostBack

public void page_Load(...)
{
  if(!IsPostBack)
  {
     Redirect...
  }
}

My web form contains a popupextender when the popup is opened,after closing the popup the events outside the popoup like button click and dropdownselectedindex changed were not firing for the first time,second time the events are firing. Can anybody suggest me a sloution..... Confused | :confused:

hai,

Please make sure that you have included the

if(!IsPostBack)

  {}

in the page load..

Recently One of my friend asked me to do a website for selling his audios/videos something education tutorials. I'm working in ASP.NET/SQL. So i was suggested him by creating shopping cart with online payment gateway.

But he told me an issue about shipping. He can possible maximum with in country, otherwise it will be critical because Some of CDs are in less price comparing the shipping price so some body don't want to that. He suggested me Online download if possible. After payment he can download the file with password access which works only once.

But i suspect it will not work out perfectly. I need to block the users who don't have access & how to determine the user downloaded the file or not, because i'll expire the password once he clicked the download link. So please suggest me, what to do for this. Any links also fine for me.

Thanks in advance.

I beleive, one thing you can do.. once the payment gets suceeded, you can show him a link to download the product and also you can send a mail with the link, and this will be only when after the payment.Now when the user clicks on the link , save in db that this product got downloaded corresponding to this payment.

So you can have some ID mapping to transaction and the product, you can send it in querystring of the link also if you have some login mechanism then you can save it also with the transaction and with the downloading user for cross verification.

So when user clicks on the link, check the db if its already downloaded or not if yes show the message else let the user download and update the DB as downloaded

Hi,

Iam developing a intranet site and want to track the users, iam using session for this purpose, Iam using windows authentication mode so there is no login form here..

when a user clicks the url for the first time a new session is created and at that time Iam adding a entry in a table(say :Users) with username and logintime and sessionid etc.,

Below is the logic Iam using in form_load event of Default.aspx

If session("user") is nothing then
---create new session (at this point Iam adding a entry in table(users))
Else
--- use the same session and continue the work.
End if

When i check the users in the table some entries are created with same userid and same sessinids with different login time, how this is possible...
I just want to know who is logged in and what time...

could someone explain, why this is happening..

Regards

If your using InProc session state then the session may be dropped due to memory pressure and then recreated when the user next requests a page. ASP.Net will use a valid session id from cookie if the client provides one.

This could also happen if the web application is running with more than one process (web garden/web farm).

To avoid it, use an external session state server (such as SqlServer or State Server).

what does this mean could you please elaborate the solution...

Thanks...

Imtiaz A.K

It means that of your using inproc session state the session data is stored per process. Having more than one asp.net worker process will cause this type of session duplication.

When you have two or more worker processes on a single server its called a web garden. If you have more than one server its a web farm.

Hi,

"The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."

(here i am retrieving more than 60000 records)
