Hi
How do webpages update themselves automatically, like the ones that shows the soccer scores during the world cup?

G'day....
One (simple) way is to use the JavaScript "setTimeout()" function.
Eg:
timeDelay = 30; // Time of delay before refresh in seconds.
myTimer = setTimeout( "refreshThisPage();" , (timeDelay * 1000) );
function refreshThisPage() {
document.location.replace("www.MyURL.com");
}
Hope this helps!;)

A variation on this would be to use the XMHTTP object with "setTimeOut()" for a partial refresh.

there are a few ways of doing this..
one is with the META tag <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="100">, which will reload the complete page after 100 seconds.
another, which I prefer when I really am not interested in reloading the entire page, is with an IFRAME. You can create an individual page the has the necesary process (ASP, PHP, whatever) and reloads after a couple of seconds.
<iframe left="0" top="0" width="600" height="80" z-index="2" scrolling="no" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 name="scores" src="http://www.yoursite.com/scores.asp"></iframe>
of course you'll have a page called scores.asp that will do whatever you need to do and have the <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="100"> so that only that section of your page does the trick.
IFRAMEs are pretty niffty since they work like a layer. You could even put it inside a cell of the main table of your site (for example).
hope that works
luck

Dear all,
I got a problem. I'll like to popup a window, and while it closed, I could get it's return value. I write those codes like this:
(***in main.aspx************************):
...
function popup(){
var r=window.showModalDialog("Search.aspx","QSWindow","Toolbar:yes");
document.all("Textbox1").value=r.returnID;
}
...
POP-UP Search window
(***and in search.aspx*******************):
...
function closeMe(rid){
this.returnID = rid;
}
...
Close ME
...
now I execute the main.aspx at IE6, and It appears an error message when I push 'Close ME' at search.aspx: "..returnID is null or not an object...."
So I can sure I don't get the return value. If someone could tell me why? or tell me another way to pass variables within main/search window using javascript? please~

 Hi all,
I've successfully created several web services and invoked them
without problem from my own machine. I've even consumed the services
from separate machines, but now I'm starting to think about deployment
and how exactly this is going to work.
Currently, I have the following directory structure for a web service
:
--- Web Services
--- MailWebService
--- Bin
As of now, all of the assembly references are copied locally in the
corresponding "Bin" directory. Obviously, this is a less than ideal
deployment structure, as most of these assemblies are used by other
applications/services and need to reside outside the
"Web Services\MailWebService\Bin". Ideally, I'd like to store all the
assemblies in one central "Bin" directory that both web services and
win applications can access, but I'm not exactly sure how I can
accomplish this. Prior to .NET, this was not a problem because of the
use of the registry, but I'm still a little ignorant how to accomplish
the same goal with .NET.
Any ideas on how I can reference the same assemblies from different
channels without having to duplicate bins across my directory
structure?
Thanks
-John

You can mix and match your managed and unmanaged code using MC++ - definitely at least take a look, since it may solve the problem

Far better approach than starting a C# Web Service project...

I hear ya. Been there, done that, trying real hard not to do it again. Refactoring in all glory, but it sucks when you have to do it in the 11th hour. Ripping out the guts from a carcass only to put it in a new host during stress is.. somewhat error prone.

You could try gSOAP. It's pretty simple to get up and running and is a highly compliant SOAP implementation. It uses a subset of C++ as an interface definition language that you feed to a compiler to generate client and server stubs. I managed to get a basic service going in a few hours. Its very portable too, if that's an issue for you.
Unique SOAP-to-C/C++ binding: gSOAP is application-centric and provides an automated mapping of native C/C++ and user-defined application data types to SOAP data types through the use of compiler technology. Data is marshalled in SOAP/XML "in-situ" by pre-compiled marshalling routines generated by the gSOAP compiler.
Legacy application integration: gSOAP is not a class library that offers SOAP-specific data structures. gSOAP includes a true RPC compiler for SOAP that supports application-specific data types.
Multi-threaded stand-alone SOAP servers: automatic C and/or C++ source code generation for efficient SOAP Web services (gSOAP 2.0 and higher). Load stress tests indicated that gSOAP has the best performance and scalability compared to other Web services toolkits and implementations.
Platform independent: Windows, Unix, Linux, Pocket PC, Mac OS X, etc.
Integrated WSDL generator: for convenient Web Service publishing.

Yes.. Well nearly 
If you need session control, then you have to use cookies not SOAP header processing. This might not be the case with Everett though, as I think support was added to .NET 1.1. Ditto for DIME attachments, I can only get .NET 1.0 to deal with base64 encoded data.
Other than that its been pretty good going. Have an ASP .NET site chatting away quite happily to FreeBSD machines. Click Add Web Reference Click mostly done..

Hi all,
My company is thinking about setting up online transactions with an SSL server, so am I correct in thinking we need an SSL certificate? Is this necessary? I have looked at Verisign, which is quite famous, but its really expensive compared to others. Is it worth this much extra? What about Thawte? Is that any good? Anybody know any other good ones?
Thanks in advance

It's to my understanding that the verisign certificate means little more "we (meaning verisign) approve of this websites online transactions".
Personally so long as I see the little lock in the browser window and I know my data is being encrypted from client to server and it's a site I trust...I could care less if there even is a certificate. 
Nevermind super expensive stupid verisign...being all greedy...I hate companies like that...how is the little guy supposed to get ahead? Bullshite!!! Thats all it is...IMHO anyways
Cheers!

I don't know much about it, but from what I have read I tend to agree with you. It seems that they have just teamed up with Microsoft (they are a partner) to charge money for nothing. It's not as if their checks they do on your business are particularly strict - you just have to have a bit of money in the bank. And I've never met a rich crook...

How does the sql work to make a tree like query so that the forums are rendered thread by thread, like in codeproject?
I have something like:
Comment:
ID, idForum, idParentComment, idMember, sTitle, sComment, datCreated, _nDepth
Any suggestions?
(I don't want to load all the rows and then sort them with c#. That would be no good with large message boards.)

Anyone have good examples of calculating distance or shipping costs given two zip codes?
TIA,
Joan

If you have any experience with web services, there are several free ones out there that'll do the job. Take a look at this service: http://www.discoverdance.co.uk/zipquery/zipcodeservice.asmx
You can just create a web reference to your project that points to this URL above and you'll get the objects you need to calcuate the distance between two zip codes. There are some other web services out there that will tell you shipping rates for all major competitors (fedex, ups, dhl, etc.), but they cost money.
I built a sample web application in C# that uses the zip code distance service I referenced above. If you want it, I can email it to you. Let me know.
Good luck.
