I recently saw that g0thm0g posted a mention of xajax and its usefulness. Anyone know of a place that's written a PHP4 OpenID consumer using AJAX? I've been looking around and seen implementations in other languages, but no PHP with AJAX. Any aspiring persons want to try it out if it hasn't been done? I was planning on trying out xajax to do it but thought I would check the community to see if there was an existing implementation first.

Okay, so I really have no idea what I'm doing with this, so I'm sorry if this seems kinda dumb.

I'm trying to install the "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A" on the computer here, and it seems to install fine.

I go to the command line and run the setup file with my chosen password. No problem (I hope).

My end goal is to try and get one of the ASP.NET starter kits to install and think there's a database system on this computer (So I don't have to use MS Access. Ew.), but whenever I go to install the program, I choose the database on the LocalHost, and it gets no connection.

So, I'm wondering, is there something else I have to do to start up the Desktop Engine and get it running?

I'm kind of flying blind here, and the read-me doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense.

So, thanks for any help you can give me!

For mission-critical applications, the process of automating business policies, procedures, and business logic is often better managed by leveraging a Business Rule Engine. Using business rules can help you develop more agile applications with shorter time-to-market. A business rule is a statement that defines or constrains some aspect of the business; a business rule is [...]

Does anyone know of a Web Service that will receive an RSS URL and return a boolean value that can be used in an automated application (ASP.NET VB.NET)? I'm working on something that manages RSS feeds and parses them in order to achieve some tasks however it would make life a lot easier if I could validate the feed before entering it into the system.

Does anyone know of a Web Service that does this?

I've been looking through google results and I found a reference to an alpha web service validator from way back in 2002, however it doesnt seem to be up anymore and I havent found any other links.

All other validators pretty much seem to explicitly say to not hit them with automated queries.

any ideas?

Did anyone go to the ASP.NET MSDN Roadshow in Burbank yesterday? If so, what did you think about it?

I was pretty disappointed -- the presenter seemed too unknowledgable to be presenting about ASP.NET 2.0. It was the little things really.. for instance, to make the code and it'll make the link for you.. most likely, based off of his example, you'll spend the rest of your time in 2.0 copy/pasting when you want to embed a stylesheet. That is, until you accidently figure it out for yourself, you read it somewhere or someone else says "wtf don't you just drag and drop it?"

Another thing that he said was completely inaccurate. He was talking about the cool new things you can do with themes/master pages. "You know how you can't use SSI in Classic ASP to make dynamic titles?" At first I thought he was just kidding but he said it again later. I totally use SSI and Classic ASP for my themed site and my . Is that really creative genius? He also said he used .inc files which..I know Microsoft did but it doesn't make sense. People can see your code. All of my include files were .asp in the event that people tried to go snooping.

He also kept going and going even when it was obvious people needed a break. But I stayed through the first two hours and when he gave the break, I went up to ask him how to make dynamic titles in Master pages. See, he'd type in manually Title=Page1 or Title=Page2 and override what the Master said but I don't always know what the title of my page will be. I gave him an example with my recipe site.. 1 page is in control of all of my recipes so I don't know what my title will be until the person loads up the page. He looked lost. So I just stated "Can the title be a variable?" "Uhmm. Probably, yeah."

At that point I left because while I knew enough about Master pages for him not to throw me off, I don't think I knew enough about his next 2 subjects and I didn't want to learn how to do it the wrong way and then be stuck in that mindset.

I wonder what he was stuck in.. Kinda reminds me of this book I'm reading that said this...

“We were writing a new system in C++, but most of our programmers didn’t have much experience in C++. They came from Fortran backgrounds. They wrote code that compiled in C++, but they were really writing disguised Fortran. They stretched C++ to emulate Fortran’s bad features (such as gotos and global data) and ignored C++’s rich set of object-oriented capabilities.”

I feel that he didn't go out of his way to relearn 2.0 and he continued to use his 1.1 techniques. So yeah, if you are going to the MSDN roadshow and Bernard Wong is presenting, be warned!

*For those who know php* I love coding (learned Basic and logo back in middle and highschool and took C++ in college) and would like to get a grasp of php and sql. I know the more you practice it the more you learn but I wanted to know in general how long it took everyone to learn php at the intermediate level.

Querystring Variables
I have a component that i call in on several pages and
in most the activityID is sent by the querystring and i
pick it up using

ActivityID = Cint(Int32.Parse(Request.Params("act")))

but this returns as can't return this null i am assuming
this is just the same as request.querystring() in normal
asp I tries the IsNothing command and that didn't work
so i need to grab the act value from the querysting and
check if there is a value for it or not so i can call the
approprate stored procedure what am i missing?


Checkboxes
Checkboxes from a datagrid, I have a datagrid with a check
box field at the end of it so i can select was accomadation
the user wants to mail to get details about this is basically
to post the information back to the email builder form so
that it can post all the infor the the email function. How do
i pull back out and identify the checkbox values after posting
them from a datagrid.

I've been scouring the web and have found a few things that
don't seem to work, its asp.net (vb.net) and i need to know
what i am doing wrong, any thoughts?

Cheers

Hi everybody!

I have a question about Active Directory in .NET
For my project I need to fetch results from Active Directory search page by page, because later I would need to bind it to the pageable DataGrid.

I tried to use .NET library DirectoryServices for that, but paging provided by this library is transparent to the user and is used only to increase the efficiency of searching, when results are too big. I.e. I cannot tell the DirectorySearcher to give me first page, then the next or previous page, it returns me all resulting pages in one bundle.

However, what I need is to explicitely get page after page directly from the AD searcher and to be able to go at least one page forward or backward.

The solution with copying all results to the DataBase and then do the paging is not accepeted by the clent, since it is too inefficient. And since it's a Web app, I cannot keep results in memory either.

I found some hints about COM Interface, but I could not find good and detailed examples or explanations.

If somebody could help me out with that problem, any suggestion is welcome, 'cause this issue is eating me alive :)

Thank you!

I have a web form i have build to submit to another page
and it keeps trying to submit to the inital form page even
though the action is set to pagetwo.aspx.

I made a simple test form from the book and that doesn't
submit either, here follows the code but it appears to just
ignore the action command in the form and submit PageOne.aspx
to PageOne.aspx? any thoughts?

PageOne.aspx

[%@ Page Language="vb" Debug="true" %]
[script language="vb" runat="server"]


[/script]
[form action="test2.aspx" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="form1" runat="server"]

[asp:TextBox ID="TG1" runat="server"/]

[asp:DropDownList ID="TG2" runat="server"]
[asp:ListItem Value="1" Text="Yes"/]
[asp:ListItem Value="2" Text="No"/]
[asp:ListItem Value="3" Text="Maybe"/]
[/asp:DropDownList]

[input type="submit" id="submit"]

[/form]



PageTwo.aspx
[%@ Page Language="vb" Debug="true" %]
[script language="vb" runat="server"]

Dim TG1a As String
Dim TG2a As String

TG1a = Request.Form(TG1)
TG2a = Request.Form(TG2)

message.text = TG1a
message2.text = TG2a



[/script]
[html]
[head]
[meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"]
[title]Untitled Document[/title]
[/head]
[body]

[asp:Label ID="TG1a" runat="server"/]

Hi!  I'm new to this community.


I am currently a graphic designer taking classes at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) for web design and development.  I've completed most of the DESIGN aspects of the certificate program and am working on the PROGRAMMING/CODING part.

My only experience with programming of any sort comes from these classes... "Actionscript in Flash" and "Javascript for Non-programmers."  Any other HTML I know is what I've picked up from LJ and using the dual split screen in Dreamweaver.

I am for sure enrollling in the HTML class.  But the PHP class I want to take (two in one semester would be ideal) has an HTML prereq.

Can I handle it?
How hard is learning PHP?
Should I take the two classes simultaneously this fall semester?
Or should I take the HTML class, let it soak in until next spring, and then do the PHP?

Pros to PHP now...
1) I know someone in the class
2) I'd hopefully be able to incorporate what I learn into a website I'm supposed to create this fall...

Cons to PHP now...
1) Getting totally and completely lost and not learning anything from the class...

Thanks for your help and opinions.  I'd really appreciate it!
