Want to see something wonderful? Fire up visual studio and start a new asp.net web application.

Make WebForm1.aspx look like this:

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebApplication1.child"%>

And make WebForm1.aspx.vb look like this:

Public Class parent
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Response.Write("parent.Page_Load")
    End Sub
End Class

Public Class child
    Inherits parent

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Response.Write("child.Page_Load")
    End Sub
End Class

Press F5. The resulting page will only say "parent.Page_Load". If you go back and look at WebForm1.aspx, you will see that visual studio has changed "child" to "parent" for you! You can go ahead and change it back, but the next time you recompile, it will change it for you again!

I need to write a regularexpressionvalidator for my VB/ASP.Net page that requires the user put in at least 2 characters (and most 10), and the user needs to put in 1 letter and 1 number, however it doesn't need to be in any particular order, so some examples could be

a3
99393hhu3
3n05
1s2005h4
Also no "symbols" are allowed either. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a ASP.NET-project where I'm trying store a collection-class in the SessionState. Adding the class to the session is not any problem but retrieving it seems to be a whole different affair, which is why I've turned here for help.

Btw, I'm using C# for this project and switching to anything else is not an option.

The collection-class is named CUser and contains three strings and one byte, along with properties for these.

After having created an instance, usrInfo, of CUser I add it to the SessionState-object by:

Session.Add("userInfo",usrInfo):

Later on I'm trying to retrieve this object and from what I've read on MSDN it should be something like this:

CUser userInfo = Session["userInfo"];

However, it doesn't work. As I understand it the object in the SessionState is having some sort of identitycrizes and I'm clueless on how to go solve this in C#.


Any help will be appreciated. :)

Edit: Problem solved! Thanks anyway...

I'm trying to figure out a way to get the url of the page before the referr page. I know this is possible in Javascript using the History function... is there a way for me to do anything similar to this in ASP?

Basically I am trying to get the referr of an html page. I call an asp script through an image, which gives me the html page as a referrer so I need to go back one further.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Do any of you proofread, correct or otherwise reorganize client-given copy?

If the copy has organizational/grammatic issues, I usually like to reword or reorganize it with the client's permission. The main person I do this for knows that the copy has issues and she encourages me to fix it (and as it is a part of the process of site development, I get compensated for my time).

I used to think that it was just my job as a designer to design the site, and slap any content they gave me into it verbatim, but now I'm far more conscious of that looking badly not only for the client but for me as well.

If you're confident enough in your grasp of language to fix other people's writing, what do you do? Fix it, or leave it as is? Why, or why not? Do you feel any responsibility towards clarity of content?

I was wondering if anyone can assist me with this.  I have to do a web page (in asp.net) that consumes of a web service that desplays the result on my site. For example, the site will provide live scores of some type of sporting event on the page, provide current weather conditions, provide sale information from a site like Amazon or Google, or present a map from Mapquest or another mapping site to a meeting.  Something like that.  If there is any way someone can assist me with this that would be appreciated.

When I was working with PHP, My log on script pretty much just queried the database with a SELECT and matched user id and password with what was submitted by the user.

How does this work in asp.net? Is there a better way?

I picked up PHP about 4 years ago and have been slowly been using it more and more until I guess I hit a critical mass point and prefer it over ASP or ColdFusion... but the one thing that has caught me off guard is Pear. I've read the Pear intro, the manual, and whatever else I could find about it since I started messing with it this morning... now I am starting to lean towards using it in my production projects. What I am looking for is anyone who uses Pear and what their opinions of it are: useful, POS, buggy, indispensable, etc...

I recently got to see a demo of the next version of ADO.Net by Shyam Pather introducing some pretty drastic changes from the current version. They are maintaining backwards compatibility, however they are adding a lot of new features which I think will alter the way data-access with .Net is done in pretty significant ways. There's a fairly well integrated support for more of an ORM approach using a tweaked SQL dialect, for example. Also, there's upcoming support for LINQ...

Shyam does a better job of introducing it...check it out here: http://blogs.msdn.com/dataaccess/archive/2006/06/22/642260.aspx

Hi folks. I'm looking for a way to convert word documents to html using PHP. I've seen this done with various services, like gmail (using whatever it is they use) and monster.com (using asp) and some others, and I was wondering if there was a way to do that in PHP. Most of the stuff I've found is just some software that makes you do it manually, not meant for using as a library. So, anyways, I know this can be done, I'm just wondering what I can use to do it. Thanks for any info.

Anyone know of any schools offering bachelor's in web development (or similar) that actually use ColdFusion instead of ASP (or even PHP). I've been interested in a degree, but I'd only want to do one that is using either CF or PHP, not stuff I will never use.

Say, I have two classes:

Buyer
Seller

Say, I also have a class

User

which can be either Buyer or Seller, or both, or anonymous. In fact, I want User to represent the current session, and have the following member variables:
(i wrote self-explanatory members' names)

User.the_page_Im_on_right_now

User.the_page_I_wanned_to_visit_but_got_redirected_to_login

User.class_seller_or_null_if_im_not_seller

User.class_buyer_or_null_if_im_not_buyer

As you see, the User class only makes sense to keep during a session. How can I connect this kind of class with a session, so that the object of the User class gets created when a user goes to the website, it disappears when user leaves; and it stays available as the user goes from page to page?

Maybe there are built in functions for this whole thing, and I'm inventing a wheel?

(I'm using ASP.NET 2.0 with C#)

What's with the 200 watt graphics card?? It made me think of two things:

1. Back To The Future
2. 3Dfx Voodoo5 6000

Anybody remember the Voodoo5 6000? Yes, that crazy card needed an external power brick too. Or maybe it was another Voodoo card that needed it, I forgot.

What are they going to do, slap 4 processors on a card or something? Plug it in, turn the computer on and start a fire. Or even better, slap 4 of those cards in quad SLI for 800 jigawatts of power!
