Re: Textbox AutoComplete using Jquery like justdial.com - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

hi!!!!!!!!
I create a website and I want to Authorize the User who signed in my website such as: Administrator, Member... How can I do???

Note: This Project is design by Mvc 2

MVC is still asp.net and you authenticate users the same way you would in an asp.net web application. There is a multitude of sources covering asp.net authentication, you should have no problem finding information if you look.

With MVC you can also use the authorize attribute on your controller methods, and again, there are multiple sources if you look, like here http://nerddinnerbook.s3.amazonaws.com/Part9.htm[^]

I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

You have misunderstood my comments. I want to grant permissions for users and gives them the right to impose different. for example, the administrator will have the right to edit and manage the website, the user may only read information, change their profile and of course can not change anything in the website.
the example you give I got it but I want to add permissions for each different member.

You have misunderstood my answer. That is the way to handle authentication and authorization. I think you need to read more carefully, look for this; "A better approach is to define higher-level "roles" that the code checks against", that should give you a hint.

Hi,
You can either choose to use ajax control toolkit or Jquery to implement auto complete. Benfit of using ajax control toolkit its easily implementable, if so follow the link
http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/act_AutoComplete_simple.ashx[^]
if you want to implement a lightweight version then try to implement in client side with Jquery, if so follow the links below
http://aspnetnova.blogspot.com/2009/06/simple-jquery-ajax-server-side.html[^]
or
http://suggester.codeplex.com/[^]

you will find some useful discussion here[^]

Hope this will help

Luckily, I was working on this very problem today:

HTML

<html>
<head>
	<title>jQuery Auto-Complete Using Google Maps API</title>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>

			// Accepts an auto-complete term and responds with results.

				var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
				geocoder.geocode({address: request.term}, function(results, status) {
					response($.map(results, function(item) {
						return {
							label: item.formatted_address,

						};
					}));
				});
			};
			
			// Returns a function that handles an auto-complete response.
			AutoCompleteSample.create_handleFoundLocation = function () {
				return function (event, ui) {
					var lat = ui.item.latitude;
					var lon = ui.item.longitude;
					var location = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon);
					alert(location);
				};
			};
			
			// Setup auto-complete for the below textbox.
			$("#txtAddress").autocomplete({
				// This function gets auto-complete results based on what the user types.
				source: AutoCompleteSample.handleAutocompleteRequest,
				// This function gets called when the user selects a result.
				select: AutoCompleteSample.create_handleFoundLocation()
			});
			
		});
	</script>
	<style type="text/css">
		/* You will want to add some style rules here to make the auto-complete list look pretty. */
	</style>
</head>
<body>
	<input type="text" id="txtAddress" />
</body>
</html>

That JavaScript is highlighted strangely in the above PRE block, so here is the JavaScript by itself (i.e., without the HTML):

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
	
	// Used to store functions.
	function AutoCompleteSample() {
	}
	
	// Accepts an auto-complete term and responds with results.
	AutoCompleteSample.handleAutocompleteRequest = function (request, response) {
		var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
		geocoder.geocode({address: request.term}, function(results, status) {
			response($.map(results, function(item) {
				return {
					label: item.formatted_address,
					value: item.formatted_address,
					latitude: item.geometry.location.lat(),
					longitude: item.geometry.location.lng()
				};
			}));
		});
	};
	
	// Returns a function that handles an auto-complete response.
	AutoCompleteSample.create_handleFoundLocation = function () {
		return function (event, ui) {
			var lat = ui.item.latitude;
			var lon = ui.item.longitude;
			var location = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon);
			alert(location);
		};
	};
	
	// Setup auto-complete for the below textbox.
	$("#txtAddress").autocomplete({
		// This function gets auto-complete results based on what the user types.
		source: AutoCompleteSample.handleAutocompleteRequest,
		// This function gets called when the user selects a result.
		select: AutoCompleteSample.create_handleFoundLocation()
	});
	
});

[Managing Your JavaScript Library in ASP.NET]

I have a two forms i.e Form1 and Form2.When I submiting Form1 it will redirect to Form2.But Form2 was taking time while loading
So I want while loading Form2 one page will display.So after Form2 loads that page will not display.
Kindly check the site of cleartrip.com and search for flights.While searching flights one page is displaying and after that
the flight details page will display...
I want to show the waiting page... while in background actual page is loading....
How can I do this in ASP.NET...?
Please help me on this...

Sounds like you want a splash screen (demo). Or you could try a progress bar.

[Managing Your JavaScript Library in ASP.NET]

actually I have an html page on which progress bar is there... I want to display that html page while loading the second page(i.e Form2)... Kindly check site cleartrip.com... and click on search flights... In that after clicking on search flights on page is displayed... like loading... and after that flight details page is displayed ... I want to display like that...

Ah, so I don't think you actually want to display an intermediate page while the desination page is loading (e.g., loading JavaScript files, CSS files, and so on). My guess is you are doing some sort of database query that makes the desination page take a long time to load. In that case, when you nagivate to the intermediate page, do the database queries there. Once the database queries have completed, stored them in a temporary table or a session variable to cache them, then redirect the user to the destination page (which will then load the data from the cache).

Also, that would basically be the same as showing a splash screen on your destination page while the page loads. That's the route I recommend you take. You basically show an image (or progress bar or whatever) and when your page has finished loading, you hide the splash screen (which reveals your actual page).

[Managing Your JavaScript Library in ASP.NET]

actually requirement is to display html page only.... not the image...
Please help me .... how can I do that in ASP.NET....?

I just told you, but you seem to just be focusing on that last part of my message. Read my message again.

Also, anything you can display in an HTML page you can also display as a splash screen. It can have images, DIV's, text, tables, whatever.

I have a sql server database table that contains documents that need to be downloaded from an internal site. The files are uploaded as varbinary(max) and I have the mime type for the file saved in the database (which will only be word and pdf, plus some wordperfect, files). Can someone let me know how I can pull those down from the database when a user needs to view the file? I'm already saving images in the database and I am able to pull those down using a http handler. Would that be the same process for this?

Aptiva Dave wrote:

Without knowing what your current process is that would be difficult to say.

Since an image is sent over the wire and rendered on the page it doesn't need additional processing. However, the file is on demand, when a user clicks a link it needs to be retrieved from the database and sent so a HTTPHandler would be necessary to process the request.

I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

and that is what I was kind of thinking. The way I am using the handler for images is that I point an image control's navigate URL to the handler ("www.mysite.com/ShowImage.ashx?ID=23"), which I can also use as a link for an image and pull up just fine as well. I couldn't find any good tutorials on the net that explained how docs were downloaded, just how they were uploaded. thanks.

So I tried implementing the same logic used to get images from the database, but instead of displaying the file my browser wants to open a file called DisplayResume.ashx.
Here is the code I used in my event Handler:

            'place ID in the the appID variable
            appID = context.Request.QueryString("ID").ToString
            'get the mimetype for the file from table
            mimeType = getMimeType(appID.ToString)
            If Not mimeType Is Nothing Then
                context.Response.ContentType = mimeType
                Dim strm As Stream = getResume(appID)
                Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(4095) {}
                Dim byteSeq As Integer = strm.Read(buffer, 0, 4096)
                
                Do While byteSeq > 0
                    context.Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, byteSeq)
                    byteSeq = strm.Read(buffer, 0, 4096)
                Loop
            Else
                Throw New ArgumentException("Can't retrieve MIME Type")

Did you add the required settings in the web.config file?

I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

What setting would that be? I never have made any changes for displaying images before.

I'm sorry, you were writing and http handler, I thought you knew you need to add it the web.config file also.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308001[^]

I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

Okay. I've never had to do that with my images, so i guess I never knew to add anything to the web config. I'm still confused as to what I need to set the path and type to in the add section under httpHandlers.

How to Protect XML from outside access in asp.net.
I have use

</configuration>

But it doesn`t work online.

I'm pretty sure that's a setting you should be setting on the folder containing the XML file on the web server. Alternatively, you can embed the XML file in your application's DLL, which will make it inaccessible to the client side. Or you could store it in a database.

I have xml in root folder. I just want to stop viewing xml file from outside.
