Because you're posting in a forum which is designed for answering other people's questions. But instead of answering someone else's question, you've made up your own question and posted an answer to that.

It's similar to a salesman who knocks on your door to try to sell you a set of encyclopaedias - he obviously won't receive the same welcome as the plumber you called to come and fix your broken toilet.

As I said, if you want to publish this information here, then you need to post it as a tip. There is no equivalent section on StackOverflow, so you can't publish it there.

The other alternative would be to set up your own blog.

Additionally, the downvotes might be related to bad spelling, bad formatting, wrong grammatic and specially with the impression you give, that you don't give a crap about the quality and correctness of your posts.

Problem with jQuery and autocomplete

Member 1299665513-Jan-21 4:35

13-Jan-21 4:35

I am trying to work on autocomplete using jQuery (using a tutorial from here - link,

The problem is that it works fine when I add the following line:

 @{
    Layout = null;
}

but when I remove it, I have the error about autocomplete function not being found.Is there way around this? I know that it is related to the scripts conflinct in _layout page, but I don't know how to resolve it and I'd like to have my menu layout.

You haven't included the required script references properly, or you've included them in the wrong order.

Since we can't see what you've done, we can't tell you how to fix it.

I load the script from external file and the order is:

<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.10.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.9.2/themes/blitzer/jquery-ui.css"rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="~/Scripts/selectAuthor.js"></script> //my script

and the script order in _layout:
in the head section:

<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.css">

and at the end of section:

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"
        asp-fallback-src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"

You're loading multiple copies of jQuery, which will never work:

Razor

<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.10.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
...
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
...
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
...
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"
        asp-fallback-src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"
        asp-fallback-test="window.jQuery"
        crossorigin="anonymous"
        integrity="sha384-K+ctZQ+LL8q6tP7I94W+qzQsfRV2a+AfHIi9k8z8l9ggpc8X+Ytst4yBo/hH+8Fk">
</script>

You're also loading Bootstrap multiple times.

And you're mixing up the MVC5 approach (@Scripts.Render) with the ASP.NET Core / .NET 5 tag helper approach (asp-append-version, asp-fallback-src).

Simplify your scripts so that you only load each library once. And pick the correct approach for the framework you're using.

I left layout scripts as they are and didn't touch them. For the script part I took one from tutorials. What would you suggest in the terms of making both work fine? For me it doesn't matter much if it is MVC5 approach or ASP.NET core as long as it works.

Richard Deeming13-Jan-21 6:20

13-Jan-21 6:20

Well, it does matter which approach you use - the @Scripts.Render approach won't work in ASP.NET Core / .NET 5, and the asp-append-version approach won't work properly in MVC5. Smile | :)

(To be precise, the asp-* attributes will be sent as-is in the rendered HTML, and won't have the expected effect in MVC5.)

If you're using MVC5, stick to the @Scripts.Render approach for your bundles, and remove the asp-* attributes from your <script> tags:

Layout:

Razor

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
<script src="~/js/site.min.js"></script>
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

View:

Razor

@section scripts {
    <script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <link href="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.9.2/themes/blitzer/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="~/Scripts/selectAuthor.js"></script>
}

If you're using ASP.NET Core or .NET 5, use the asp-* attributes instead:

Layout:

Razor

<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"
        asp-fallback-src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"
        asp-fallback-test="window.jQuery"
        crossorigin="anonymous"
        integrity="sha384-K+ctZQ+LL8q6tP7I94W+qzQsfRV2a+AfHIi9k8z8l9ggpc8X+Ytst4yBo/hH+8Fk">
</script>
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/bootstrap/3.3.7/bootstrap.min.js"
        asp-fallback-src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
        asp-fallback-test="window.jQuery && window.jQuery.fn && window.jQuery.fn.modal"
        crossorigin="anonymous"
        integrity="sha384-Tc5IQib027qvyjSMfHjOMaLkfuWVxZxUPnCJA7l2mCWNIpG9mGCD8wGNIcPD7Txa">
</script>
<script src="~/js/site.min.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

View:

Razor

@section scripts {
    <script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <link href="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.9.2/themes/blitzer/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="~/Scripts/selectAuthor.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
}

Either way, make sure you only include each library once in the page, and that you include them in the correct order. Check the "view source" option in your browser to view the rendered output to make sure it's doing what you expect.

It works with the first approach. The only problem is that the dropdown autocomplete menu is not shown directly under the textbox, but rather in the top-left corner.

I have created housie game page, but it is loading slow. Can some one suggest is it coding issue or network issue.
If i run code locally on my pc, it runs fast, but once uploaded on site winmilestone com, it becomes slow.
page winmilestone com / housie
Host server is in usa location, does the site becomes slow if accessed from different countries.
for example, if I click/mark number in housie game, it takes time to refresh but when i test it in my local server, housie game is fast.
how can i test my website speed access across different countries, to check if site is fast in usa and slow in other countries.

It might be due to many reasons. First you contact the host admin regarding this, some configuration changes could fix this. And here some stuff regarding this issue. Do Investigate & fix it.

Sorry for another thread.

I have the following that is supposed to read from web.config file.

public string ReadConfig(string ValueToGet)
{
    System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection section = (System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection)config.GetSection("appSettings");
    return section.Settings[ValueToGet].Value;
}

// get the report URL
string URL = Master.ReadConfig("DailyReport");

The application runs perfectly on my local machine but again when run from the server, it gives the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks again in advance

Which line of code raised the error? The actual problem is usually not to difficult to resolve once you know which reference is the problem. You may wish to edit your question and show the actual contents of the config file. Are you sure all refernces are correctlym spelled?

samflex11-Dec-20 9:02

11-Dec-20 9:02

Richard, thanks for your response.

This is the ReadConfig () method:

public string ReadConfig(string ValueToGet)
{
    System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection section = (System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection)config.GetSection("appSettings");
    return section.Settings[ValueToGet].Value;
}

The first error is on this line:

return section.Settings[ValueToGet].Value;

Then ReadConfig tries to call the report with this:

// get the report URL
string URL = Master.ReadConfig("DailyReport");

This is the line that generated the second error.

Then this is the web.config content that Master.ReadConfig("DailyReport"); is trying to call:

<add key="DailyReport" value="http://servername/ReportServer?/Reports/DailyReport"/>

I have had similar issues with ReadConfig() function which I was able to resolve.

For instance, This line was generating exact same error:

appVersion.Text = ReadConfig("AppVersion");

and I was able to resolve it with this:

WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AppVersion"]

But the Master.ReadConfig(...) line is a bit too challenging.

Re: Server not recognizing AD info

10-Dec-20 10:42

Greetings experts,

I have been struggling with this now for about two days to no avail.

When a user loads our app on a browser, the app determines user's machine name and determines whether user should have a Read Only access to the app or Read/Write access based on two AD group names.

If the user does not belong to any of those groups, access to the app is denied the user with a message indicating so.

This works perfectly on my local machine.

However, when I deploy the app to our server, it does not record user's access level and is constantly denying user access to the app.

We have determined that the server can communicate with our AD.

I am pretty stumped by this.

Can someone please help with the code below and see if it could be written differently?

Many thanks in advance.

IPAddress hostIPAddress = IPAddress.Parse(Request.UserHostName);
IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostEntry(hostIPAddress);
string[] tempSystemName = hostInfo.HostName.Split('.');

WebLibrary.loadUserInformation(Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name, Request.UserHostAddress, tempSystemName[0]);
currentUser.Text = "Current User: " + WebLibrary.visitorFullName + "<br />Access: " + userType + "";

Is the user actually authenticating to your application? You need to make sure anonymous authentication is turned off, and Kerberos/Windows authentication is turned on.

Depending on your group policy settings, Internet Explorer, Edge, and Chrome should automatically sign the user in to any site which is part of IE's "local intranet" zone. Firefox will need additional configuration in the about:config page:

network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies = True
network.negotiate-auth.allow-proxies = True
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris = comma-separated list of host names which should use integrated authentication
