Debugging in cold fusion and .net

civilizedbeast — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:58:01 GMT

Hi,

In cold fusion we have a debugger where we can see the stored procedure execution with input parameters (along with the execution time & records returned). Do we have anything similar in .net world?

Thanks.

Posting form data from asp.net to cfm page

nandersen — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:29:07 GMT

I am in the process of converting a page over to asp.net from cfm. It then needs to Post form data to an old cfm page that I do not have the ability to access.

The problem I run into is that the form variables name gets changed by .net since the page is inside a master page i.e (ct100_contentPlaceholder_mytextbox). I've already asked and been told that I cannot remove the master page.

I've been trying to build my own request/response like the example here http://dotnet.sys-con.com/node/45127 but our pages implement some form of security and evertime I make the request I just get our login page back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I currently use cfftp to ftp an article to the webserver after its posted to the intranet, is ftp using coldfusion over the internet safe?

Could anyone tell me the best way to go about this?

Thankyou

Okay, sorry if this is not the right place, but I have a question about Excel spreadsheets. I work for a pretty big CF House in DC Metro, we create/maint. multiple data collection systems for various Fed Agencies. I am creating a small reporting intranet in .NET as per new requirements. Could one of you Guru's help me out with the below. Thanks in advance. In, CF you can create Excel Spreadsheets from and html table with column headers as the Cell header. All you have to to is output the table to the page, and wrap in with the following call This will create a excel spreadsheet for a client to download. Now heres my question. Is it this easy in C# .NET or is there a simple object to call to get this done? Or, am I doomed to some work around for this. Thanks

Decrypting passwords encrypted using Cold Fusion Encrypt

Felicity — Mon, 19 May 2003 12:11:51 GMT

How do I decrypt passwords (using ASP .NET ) that have been encrypted using the Cold Fusion Encrypt function and stored in a database? I need to do that in order to authenticate a user.

coldfusion form talking to .net webservice

jjmonty — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:13:52 GMT

I am having a problem with a coldfusion form talking to a .net webservice. When the form attempts to talk to the service the coldfusion server spits out:

Message: Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation.

We think that this may be caused by the coldfusion service serving the coldfusion form not having the permissions to talk to the webservice.

When I test the webservice by itself (using poster in firefox) it returns a 200 so the webservice is working.

How do we configure the coldfusion server of the page and the IIS for the webservice so the two can talk to each other.

Help.

Reference data in a SqlDataSource

rmosher@wellsfargo.com — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:44:55 GMT

I'm new(er) to asp.net and I'm trying to relate concepts to my ColdFusion background.

So, if I want to reference a specific peice of data from a dataset and add it to a link in CF I would do something like this:

<a href="http://www.someURL.com?ID=<cfoutput>#myDataSource.ID#</cfoutput>">MyLink</a>

How do you do this in asp.net? Isn't there some way I can just do a Response.Write("mySqlDataSource.ID") or something similar?

Coldfusion AES encryption

charliem123 — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:19:01 GMT

Hi all, I saw another post on the subject but it was for a different type of encryption.

Anyway, we have some values that are stored in our database using the Coldfusion ecrypt() function. We are using AES and Hex. it looks like this:

The key is 24 bit.

For the life of us, we can't find any way to decrypt this in .net. Can someone offer some guidance? IT would be greatly appreciated.

Cold Fusion

Jim.Smith — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 02:41:01 GMT

As my company has just been bought by a Microsoft partner, we are being forced to migrate to .NET. Could somebody out there who knows both CF and ASP explain why in the world you would choose ASP over Cold Fusion?

Thanks,

Consuming ColdFusion Web Service in ASP.NET(VB)

Vyas_CTI — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 02:04:35 GMT

I am trying to consume web service written in ColdFusion from asp.net
(VB) page. I am using ASP.Net 2.0. I have added web reference and
defined instance of that web service and used one of its methods. But
it gives me error :
"Unable to automatically step into the server. Connecting to the
server machine '10.21.13.13' failed. The Microsoft Visual Studio
Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be running
on the remote computer."

I don't understand what to do because web service is working fine with
other application. Web service is written in WSDL.

Have anyone tried to consume a web service written in ColdFusion from
an asp.net page? A sample code or any hint will be very helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Using ASP.NET on a ColdFusion Hosted Server

ZLA — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 20:32:03 GMT

I'm not very familiar with ColdFusion. If a web server supports ColdFusion, can it also support ASP.NET for the same web site?

Assuming it can, are there any gotchas I should be concerned about?

How easy is it for CF and ASPX pages to "talk" to each other?
How easy is it for CF and ASPX to expose webservices that can be used by the other type of page?
Other issues?

Thank you in advance.

Looking for a CF to ASP.net Conversion program

List of all query execution times for a page

usp — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 23:08:31 GMT

Does anyone know how to get a list of all the database queries that were executed for a given page request, like is shown at the bottom of ColdFusion pages when debug output is turned on? I would also like to see execution times. This would be much more convenient than running a SQL Profiler trace, and also hopefully more accurate since it will account for the overhead of loading data into the application, not just the database query time. I am using VB.NET with ASP.NET 2.0

newb coming from CF

lukenukum — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 13:39:34 GMT

hi folks,

im finally making the plunge and learning asp.net bit by bit (quite literally it feels sometimes!). i am (or was) diehard coldfusion developer but am moving into asp.net to up my skillset and hopefully become more object oriented.

being someone who's used to just wacking open a .cfm page and working top to bottom with a fusebox type methodology im finding it a little difficult to get my head round some of the very basic foundations of the way the server works... my head keeps going back to "well in coldfusion i'd do it like this, whats all this extra stuff, hmmm, am i putting this in the ideal place for the job".

im working on a basic web app with a code-behind page...

a) i've got a web.config page with a connection string it... is this where i would store such things as session variables? ie - is the web.config available all the time to the app, or just when the page is first called?
b) at the moment i seem to be putting everything into the Page_Load subroutine (my old top to bottom approach) - is this good normal practice or indeed required?
c) do SqlDataReaders only work when the SqlConnection is open or is the output cached anywhere? cf would hold a resultset which you could pull at anypoint on the page.
d) how do you know if your page has too cumbersome and needs breaking up into new pages?

oh dear, so many questions have i!

i'll call it a day there - any advice, tips, basic methodolgy, diagrams, alcohol etc for a cf developer making the move greatly appreciated!!!

cheers,

Luke
