Can any one advise on this. How to resolve this problem ?

Trying to Implement Google Maps on my Site

ryguy7272 — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:16:09 GMT

The title pretty much says it all. I’m trying get Google maps working on my site. Here is a sample page:

http://pubcrawlnyc.com/Boston.aspx

I would love to figure out a way to click on each item in the list (which consists of pubs and addresses) and display the address in Google maps, such as this.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=219+Second+Avenue,+ny,+ny

Eventually, I’d like to display all addresses in the list simultaneously, with directions, such as this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=219+2nd+Ave,+New+York,+NY+10003&daddr=225+W.+4th+Street,+New+York,+NY+to:337+Third+Avenue,+New+York,+ny+to:1701+Second+Avenue,+New+York,+ny

I guess I can hard-code it, because there aren’t too many that I need to do, but I’d really like to figure out how to do this dynamically, so if I add a few addresses to my SQL Server DB, the items will automatically be represented in the Google map.

I found this script online; seems pretty useful but I'm not sure how to implement it:

	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
 		function getMap(add, zip)
		{
			var url = "map.asp?add="+escape(add)+"&zip="+escape(zip)+"&city=NYC&state=NY";
			window.open(url, "YahooMap", "toolbar=no,resizable=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=400");
 	 	}
	 
	 	function getGoogleMap(add, zip, city, mystate)
		{
			var url = "googlemap.asp?add="+escape(add)+"&zip="+escape(zip)+"&city="+escape(city)+"&state="+escape(mystate);
			window.open(url, "GoogleMap", "toolbar=no,resizable=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=400");
 	 	}
	</script>

I’d sincerely appreciate any/all help with this.

Regards,

Recognizing Website by Search Engines

QUL001 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:30:06 GMT

Hi, does anyone have some tips as to maximizing the probability of finding my website (or even finding my website at all) by entering key words in a search engine? I have entered a variety of specific key word combinations from my site and it is not located by a search. Questions:

Does time need to elapse from the update of a site (my site is new) until it would be included in search engine results?

Does having key words on a web page imbedded in graphics on a web page vs. words entered directly on the ASP.net web page form make a difference in being recognized?

Thanks.

Local Search Engine implementation in .NET platform

hajan — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:43:38 GMT

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Experts,

I'm currently preparing myself to start working on building lightweight library for Local Search Engine implementation in .NET platform.

This library will serve for an frontend local website that will be able to act as a Search Engine for document files (.doc, .docx), excell files, pdf files, text files etc.

I have took a look at the Lucene implementation http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/ - download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nlucene/ but mainly I want to build much simpler Search Engine that will use mix of ASP.NET , C#.NET, Javascript and JQuery libraries.

I said much simpler Search Engine because Lucene has a lot of functionalities, optimization methods etc etc which I don't need for the very beginning of the project because the main idea is to search tru directories, find objects, create search indexes and retrieve data using Natural Language Processing techniques, Data Mining techniques etc.

What I want now is to hear for some ideas from your side...

Maybe it will be good if someone points me to some more open source search engine implementations in .NET...

All in all, I would be glad if you just post your ideas...

Any idea, thought or post reply to my post will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hajan

Hello Everybody,

Can anybody tell me how to execute ffmpeg to convert video file to flv. There is command available in PHP ("EXEC") which execute ffmpeg.

Is there any available method in .NET like "EXEC".

I've converted the video using MediaHandler http://www.iepak.com/2/TopicDetail.aspx. But it's not a free Module.That's why i'm trying to use the "EXEC" like method.

Code in PHP : exec(ffmpeg -i input.avi -b 64k output.flv)

Waiting 4 your valuable suggestion. Code will be very much helpfull.

ScriptSharp

Marcus Vinitius Baffa — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:00:35 GMT

Hi,

A few months ago a thread (http://forums.asp.net/t/1393485.aspx) was talking about broken links of Script#. As far as I could see Script# is alive and it was used to develop MicrosoftMvcAjax.js.

I am a C# programmer and in my first ASP.NET MVC aplication I would like to use Script# but there are very few tutorials and examples. The manual is good but I could not find the codeplex site and there is no specific Forums to discuss.

The Script# framework is very rich but I could not find any tutorial to ScriptFX.UI, UI.Forms, etc. The roadmap is telling the in 2009 there will be the release of version 1.0 with jQuery integration. Well we are already in October.

And ASP.NET MVC no examples and tutorials.

I would like to ask you:

Are you working with Script# in your projects ????
Can we be sure that Script# Projetcs will be avaiable for VS 2010 ???
Is Script# only to used internally in Microsoft ????
Is there any other documentation, tutorials and examples in some place I could not find ???

Script# seems fantastic but I need more resources to go on. Can you help me ???

Thanks in advance

Commercial Asp.Net development guidance

dbstrat — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:19:55 GMT

Hi. I am looking for any guidance (meaning resources, blogs, forums, whitepapers, words or encouragement ) from/for people involved in developing commercial software based on Asp.Net. I work at an ISV and we are porting an expansive COM-based application over to the web. Most of our clients will be installing this software on-site. As I'm going along it is becoming obvious that a great deal of the guidance out there for .Net developers and specifically Asp.Net guidance is really geared toward internal or enterprise use where the software is deployed in the same infrastructure where it is developed.

I can't find, for instance, guidance on best practice for deploying a web application to a customer's network, or further on the best way to design and deploy new versions. All of the deployment guidance to me seems to assume that you own the entire environment which is not the case for our applications.

Is there some other community out there that is geared toward ISV's and their web applications?

dual monitors: faster development or a waste of time?

gerrylowry — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:15:09 GMT

Hello, I'm having a debate with my spouse ....

some computers allow a second monitor.

most laptops also do this: plug a second monitor
into your laptop and your options are usually
        laptop only,
        monitor only, and
        both.

A second monitor since Windows 2000 (?)
{and forever with Macs AFAIK}
can be an extension of your desktop ... example,
you can show your e-mail on one monitor while
creating code on the second. Or, for web design,
you can have your code on one display and
your browser showing your rendered code on the other.

Also, I like to have one monitor display the Microsoft tutorials
while doing hands on in Visual Studio on the other monitor.

Not long ago, while working at our kitchen table on my
laptop, I dragged a second monitor to the table to try
and boost my productivity. My spouse thought I was
being ridiculous and strongly believes that there's no
benefit to a second monitor when you can simply use
ALT+TAB; one does also have to ALT+TAB to control
whatever is on the second monitor.

What's your opinion: two monitors or not two monitors?

Thank you.

Regards,
Gerry (Lowry)
