Thanks! :)

Thanks! :)

until 2000 eggs?
Please be a bit more specific in your question.

Thank you and have a nice day,
Chris

With my answer, I asked you for some code. I do not have an idea of what you already done so that's what I asked :)

That means that RaisKazi improved your solution by adding a "pre" tag around your code. This was just a readability improvement. You could do this by yourself when you write a post on CodeProject by surrounding any code you paste with a <pre> tag.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day,
Chris

Great overview and explanation, my 5+

Could you please supply some code to verify or check what you have done?
Thanks :)

Just correct, my 5+ :)

You're welcome :)

If the answer helped, please mark it as "answer". Thank you :)

Could you be more specific in what your stored procedure is doing? This would be helpful to answer your question.

Thanks and have a nice day,
Chris

You're welcome, I'm glad to hear that it helped.

If the question is solved, please mark the answer as "answer", thank you :)

Have a nice day and always happy coding,
Chris

If you set the Timeout programmatically before the upload, the timeout is valid for the whole user-session. So you should still have the longer timeout after the processing.

If you want to reset the timeout after the generate process, do it the same way as you did it to make it longer, and everything should be fine :)

This Facebook library you posted is very old (last update in 2008). The newest Facebook SDK is this here: http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/.

Best regards and happy coding,
Chris

That's good to hear!
You're welcome :)

you're welcome, hope this helps really! :)

you're welcome! :)

You could write it this way:

var filtered = from c in country
where (c.Condition == 1 && c.Id >= 5) ||
(c.Condition != 1 && c.Id <= 5)
select c;

so first check for the condition and combine it (by using '&&') with the second check.

As far as I know, there is no possibility to have a "dynamic" check, whathever this means. The check must be defined somewhere so it is always static.

Hope this helps.

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that it worked! :)

Have a nice day :)

Why you don't look at the answers of your previous posted (same) question here: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/226395/how-to-get-max-min-values-from-a-specific-col-in-d?

Good links for starting using masterpages! Thank you, my 5+

You're absolutely right and you made my day! Thank you, my 5+ :)

Exactly. Poor webserver hosting such a calc app... ;) my 5!

Totally agree, my 5!

Yes, thats true, it was just an example :)

After some research, I found this: jQuery bPopup plugin / bPopup demos, just as a starting point for custom JS Messageboxes.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day and happy coding! :)

Hi,

What is the exact problem? Do you get any error, executing the above code?

Best regards and happy coding,

Hi,

You can try it this way:

SELECT B.cat_ID as [cat_ID],
SUM(A.article_visit) AS [Article_Visit]

FROM article_list A

LEFT JOIN category B
ON A.cat_ID = B.cat_ID

WHERE A.article_status = 1
AND B.article_allow = 1

GROUP BY A.cat_ID

Hope this helps.

Thank you! :)

UPDATE:
If you google this, you will find many sites providing such a proxy.

But BE AWARE that nobody should ever enter any sensitive informations (for example passwords for Social Media sites) on a site (except the original site of course). You never know if such a page is logging / stealing your passwords! So please pay attention!

Hi,

Please look at the links in the Solution 1 from S Mevara. There you will find the stored procedure (SP) related links. In your case, I would prefer a SP which have one output declared parameter (see Using a Stored Procedure with Output Parameters). And inside the SP you write something like: SET @outputParameterName = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Hope this helps.

Best regards and good luck,

Can you explain from which URL to which URL the session gets lost (for example domainx.com/page1.aspx to domainy.com/page2.aspx)?

Perhaps this is a domain-issue (sessions are domain-specific because they're saved in a domain-dependant cookie on the client). But this is just a big guessing ;)

Best regards,
Stops

unforunately comments cannot be voted...
you made my day!! :)

He means this: http://www.google.com/......

The first result of the google search is this, and it should explain it for you.

my 5+ ;)

Nice link, thank you for sharing!
My 5+

Thanks! :)

Thank you! :)

Yes, that's right, anonymous objects are only valid in the scope they're created so you need to fill the data into any other object / structure if you want to do further processing / returning the data.

Perhaps it is easier if you have a consistent datasource / DB with correct primary keys and correct relations, that Linq to SQL can give you the possibility to access for example the UserGroups by accessing User.UserGroups..

But I think this would go beyond the scope of this question :)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Stops

Thank you! :)

Thank you for sharing this! Never heard of it and I will definitely try this out next time!
my 5+!

Thank you for the link, nice to know that such a library exists!
my 5+!

Have a nice day and happy coding,
Stops

you're welcome :)

It depends on which solution you take ;)

If you realize your blog with blogengine.net, you can test it locally and deploy it to the live website (a sub-domain works perfectly, a sub-directory of your hosting should work too (perhaps it needs a virtual-directory for this)).

Here you will find a guide, how to install the blogengine.net:
http://blogengine.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Installation&referringTitle=Documentation&ANCHOR#FreshInstallation.

Thank you! :)
Have a nice day and happy coding,

You're welcome!

Thank you for the wishes and until next time! :)
Have a perfect day!

p.s.: Just say "Stops" and not "Sir stops", please ;)

Hi :)

You have to update the method signature (and also the main method / dump method):

in Main():
IDictionary<string, IDictionary<string, int>> Region = new Dictionary<string, IDictionary<string, int>>();

ParseLine signature:
private static void ParseLine(string recLine, IDictionary<string, IDictionary<string, int>> Region)

dump signature:
private static void Dump(IDictionary<string, IDictionary<string, int>> main_area)

also update the dump method:
foreach (string MainArea in main_area.Keys)
{
foreach (string Cluster in main_area[MainArea].Keys)
{

Console.WriteLine("There are {0} {1} named {2}", main_area[MainArea][Cluster], Cluster, MainArea);
}
}

Hope this helps :)

It seems that the edit form removed the "int" out of all IDictionary<string, int> textes, don't forget to add them properly.

Sorry for this.

If I understand you right, then the Dictionary<string, int=""> at the end is too much.

Use it this way:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
IDictionary<string, idictionary<string,="" int="">> Region = new Dictionary<string, idictionary<string,="" int="">>();
// Reading input text file
string dirFile = @"C:\temp\input.txt";
string recLine;
int recCounter = 0;
StreamReader srTable = new StreamReader(dirFile);
while ((recLine = srTable.ReadLine()) != null)
{
recCounter++;
if (recCounter < 3)
continue;
ParseLine(recLine, Region);
}
Dump(Region);
Console.ReadKey();
}
private static void ParseLine(string recLine, IDictionary<string, idictionary<string,="" int="">> Region)
{
if (recLine.Trim() == String.Empty)
return;
string main_area = recLine.Substring(0, 11).Trim();
string cluster = recLine.Substring(12, 11).Trim();
string excDays = recLine.Substring(24, 16).Trim();

// adding cluster type key
if (!Region.ContainsKey(main_area))
Region[main_area] = new Dictionary<string, int="">();
// adding cluster name key
if (!Region[main_area].ContainsKey(cluster))
{
Region[main_area][cluster] = 0;
}

// summing up total
if (Region[main_area].ContainsKey(cluster))
Region[main_area][cluster] += 1;
int excDays2 = Convert.ToInt32(excDays);
if (excDays2 < 2)
T24++;
else if (excDays2 > 1 && excDays2 < 4)
T3++;
else if (excDays2 > 3)
T4++;
}
private static void Dump(IDictionary<string, idictionary<string,="" int="">> main_area)
{
foreach (string MainArea in main_area.Keys)
{
foreach (string Cluster in main_area[MainArea].Keys)
{

Console.WriteLine("There are {0} {1} named {2}", main_area[MainArea][Cluster], Cluster, MainArea);
}
}
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Total 24hrs: {0} ", T24);
Console.WriteLine("Total 3days: {0} ", T3);
Console.WriteLine("Total 4days: {0} ", T4);
}


is this working?

Best regards,
Stops

Hello,
You're welcome :)
I realized this problem exactly after I posted the answer. So I updated the answer immediately:
Use

if (!Region[main_area][cluster].ContainsKey(excDays))
{
Region[main_area][cluster][excDays] = 0;
}

then it should work.

Best regards and happy coding,
Stops

nice to know! My 5 :)

As I said in the comment before, I think you need to use an external component.
There are possibilities by using a WebBrowser control, but this is not working in ASP.NET (you would need to create a background worker process using the WebBrowser component).

I only see the following possibilities:
- Use a component that renders a website into a image (example: http://www.acasystems.com/en/web-thumb-activex/faq-convert-html-to-image-in-asp.net.htm)
- Use a PDF component which is capable of rendering HTML input / URL input (example: http://www.websupergoo.com/abcpdf-1.htm).

If you use the above PDF component, you can get through this example:
http://www.websupergoo.com/helppdf8net/default.html?page=source%2F4-examples%2F13-pagedhtml.htm. You can also test if the component is working with your HTML/CSS by using the trial version first (http://www.websupergoo.com/download.htm#pd).

Hope this helps and happy coding,
Stops

Hi,

Until now, I never had a requirement to render a HTML into a image. Anway, I found the following component which is doing it for you:
http://www.acasystems.com/en/web-thumb-activex/faq-convert-html-to-image-in-asp.net.htm.

Another way would be, that you directly use a PDF component which can render HTML content (or even directly renders a URL into a PDF):
http://www.websupergoo.com/abcpdf-1.htm.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Stops

I'm sorry, but I don't see why this should not work :(

One last try, have you allready tried to change the Framework version for example from 4.0 to 3.5 (in the properties page of your application)? Perhaps this would help in any way?

Sorry that my tips were not successfull... :(

Have you tried it this way:

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=TheFileNameForTheClient.docx");
Response.TransmitFile( Server.MapPath("~/_generated/data.docx") );
Response.End();

You have to run the above code in a seperate handler (as I said, for example a .ashx handler). On your Save-Button, you just link to the URL, where the handler is lying (for example if your handler is here: http://yoursite.com/_service/GenerateDocument.ashx, you create a donwload link which points to the URL /_service/GenerateDocument.ashx).

Was it working before? ;)

Can you explain where you get this error (is any code involved)?
Also is any recent change responsible for this error (what where the last things you did before the error occured)?
Did you allready tried to restart the machine?

I just found the following:
Delete all temporary ASP.NET files, by removing the folders under the following directory:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\

(The Windows directory may vary)

This is from http://codebetter.com/brendantompkins/2006/11/15/fix-for-asp-net-could-not-load-file-or-assembly-app_web-error/.

Perhaps this helps.

Thank you :)

Hi, could you post the exact JS error and perhaps any additional JS Frameworks you're using (for example mootools or JQuery)?

What exactly breaks after the Async refresh?

Compensated too, see my explanation before ;)

Please see my answer to John Simmons.

Thats completely true, I was focusing on the Substring of a Guid (which is less unique than a Guid self).

Sorry again for the confusion.

I never said that a GUID is not unique, a GUID self is random for sure.

But what I mean is that if you Substring a Guid and shorten it, the possibility of duplicates is much higher.

O.k., I did not test your source (now I did and saw that no duplicates are generated), nor I did not see that you put it into a HashSet. Sorry for that. :)

I just saw the "Substring" and started to write ;)
So, sorry again!

SubString'ing a Guid would produce a lot of equal passwords, so this would not be a good solution (expecially if he want to generate 1000 PW's without any delay).

Just my 5 cents ;)

That's really an interesting thing! Thank you for pointing this out!! My 5! :)

You're welcome!
It is really the best way to start looking at a performance problem, I think. :)

Is it possible that this is a casing problem?
Try to .ToLower() the currentGroupName and write all cases in lower cases.

Also you could set a breakpoint at the switch-statement to see which groupName you got currently. Perhaps there you see what is going wrong.

Hope this helps.

You're welcome! Glad to hear that it may help :)

Hmm, this sounds strange... ;)
Perhaps the XDocument.Save() just resets the Response State, but this would be very strange...

Anyway, the essence is that you found the source of the problem and I hope you can do a workaround for this.

A good day to you too!

Greetings,
Stops

I have now tried it locally. Could you test the following code:

File SessionTest.cs

=========================================
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;

namespace WebTest
{
public class SessionTest : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState
{
public bool IsReusable
{
get { return false; }
}

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
context.Response.ContentType = "text/html";

context.Response.Write("Session Test<br />============<br /><br />TestVar Value:<br />");
context.Response.Write(context.Session["TestVar"]);

context.Session["TestVar"] = DateTime.Now + " Hello World";
}
}
}
=========================================

Entry in the Web.config:

=========================================
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetframework="4.0"></compilation>
<sessionstate mode="InProc"></sessionstate>
<httphandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.test" type="WebTest.SessionTest"></add>
</httphandlers>
</system.web>
</configuration>
=========================================

the .cs file must be in the web project, otherwise you have to set the assembly-name in the httpHandlers/add/type.

When I test this code, it fails the first time (true, because no data is in the session) and all additional requests write out the current DateTime and the text "Hello World".

Hi again,

Have you allready tried to just put a string or a int into the session and check if this would work?
How is your Game class defined, is it marked [Serializable] (required for objects which will be hold in the session / cache)?

Perhaps you could post the Game class in the answer (just the accessor definitions, code should not be required)?

You're welcome, glad to hear that I could help :)

Could you post the sessionState entry in your web.config, perhaps there is something wrong.

Also could you try just writing out the session id (Session.SessionId), is it changing on each request or is it permanently the same?

You're welcome, I'm happy that I was able to help.
Would love to read your article about the Response.Filter!
