Tips and Hints:
- When IIS and ASP.NET don't get along
Despite how cool ASP.NET is and all the promises Microsoft has made for it, sometimes things just go wrong. You're typing code a mile a minute, creating Web pages that are works of art and you run it to see how you're doing. Bam! You get an error message.
- 10 rock-solid UI tips
One of the challenges of Web development is developing a rich-client look and feel using the basic tools of HTML and JavaScript. Robust and interactive interfaces are possible with this technology but only with a great deal of effort and time. ASP.NET helps clear these hurdles. With ASP.NET, you can present rich-client features to the user quickly and easily using a thin-client delivery method.
- Scroll call
When a control in a Web form generates a postback, ASP.NET scrolls back to the top of the page. Can you prevent this unwanted scrolling so a page retains its scroll position even after posting back to the server?
- Path mapping in ASP.NET
ASP.NET has more than thirty classes that deal with path and URL. If you've programmed in ASP before this, chances are you will want to stick with the classes that you're familiar with. They are still there, but there are more, and you might as well get familiar with them and use them. This tip offers a discussion of one path function, MAPPATH.
Expert Advice:
- Sending to another page
I'm new to ASP.NET. When I send a page to another page and try to retrieve a value with request.form ("namevariabel"), it's always null. And when I try to see if there is a key in request.form.haskeys, it returns false (obviously it isn't). But when I'm not to using an ASP.NET Web form component and try manually using an HTML component, it works just fine.
- Unable to capture the events from the control
I am using tag to insert a window control to the Web forms. But I am unable to capture the events from the control. What should I do?
- How do I pass arguments from an aspx page to a VB app?
I want to run a vb.exe file from an aspx page in the client machine. I have to pass arguments from the aspx page to the VB application. My aspx page is written in C#.
- VS.NET won't let me debug my ASP.NET application
I am developing ASP.NET application using VS.NET IDE. When I start the application, I am not able to debug the application and get following message: "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the Web server. Access is denied. Would like to disable this option in future?"
