Hi, As everyone said, 90000 chars is huge. Check if that is required functionally. If you still need to pass 90,000 character to the page, it can be achieved by many ways.1) Try if you can put them in the hidden field and do a post back to get it back on the server side.2) This can...

Here's an idea - why don't you install .Net 3.5 and see if that fixes it... However, that sounds more like a SQLServer error to me.Did you upload the database specified in the connection string to the server?BTW, wouldn't it be better to create a web service and use that instead of using...

Yes it is.Trust me on this.It's just that you don't understand what is happening.C# code is executed on the server, not the client. So when you executeProcess.Start("IExplore.exe", "www.northwindtraders.com");You are executing it on the server, so the server is where the instance of...

First off, why are you hardcoding paths in any application, much less a web app? What if the computer you try to load this on doesn't have a D drive, or it's not accessible to your application? What if it doesn't have Word installed? I suspect this "From Visual Studio its Working" because...

It depends. The only path that IIS would try to access, is on the server. Are you saving your files inside the root directory of your website ? If not, you need to. If you are, then you need to tell us the exact error, including the path, what code creates the error, etc.

The first thing I would do is check the image source on the browser on which the image is not displayed.Check if the link is correct. You may try opening the link in another tab/page and see if it opens there.

Did you check whether your IIS user(IUSR) has write permission on the target folder or not? I think you need to set full permission for IUSR instead of NETWORK SERVICE

The solution is simple. It is crazy that I overlooked this. ConclusionIn order for the file server and the web server to communicate with each other, a common domain user has to be created. The user that I created was not a domain user. They were users only on those servers.

for one thing you are missing style=' before border-collapse: collapse at the table tag. I think that might fix it. I put border='1' style='border-collapse: collapse' in the table tag. and the border shows up.
