No puedo ver Imagen desde una base de datos

rgilbertox — Fri, 15 Aug 2003 20:26:51 GMT

Tengo una aplicacion en VISUAL BASIC .NET (WEB FORMS), es una pagina para Internet
Tengo este codigo
Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG"
Response.BinaryWrite(DataRead_Asegurados.GetValue(13))
Response.End()
es para ver la imagen que esta incrustada en una base de datos de SQL SERVER 2000
pero me la trae como a otra página, y yo quiero que me la ponga en la pantalla principal de mi aplication junto con los otros datos del registro., osea ponerla en un control IMAGE, pero el control IMAGE de visual basic .NET, no trae para decirle el DataSource,DataMember y nada de eso...trae para decirle el URL de donde esta el archivo imagen..jpg,bmp etc...
mi pregunta es como le hago para poner la imagen en un control junto con mis otros datos del registro...??

Gracias....Bye

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

Greg1 — Fri, 02 May 2003 06:12:16 GMT

Hello mates,

I get an error when I view http://localhost/StoreVBVS/Default.aspx. I did have one error during the initial setup which was, "[Fail] Could not add ASPNET user to SQL Server.
Windows NT user or group 'ASPNET' not found. Check the name again." Do I manually create the user and do I create it in SQL Enterprise Manager or do I create it in Active Directory Users and Computers? I don't know but this may/probably has to to with the error I get when I open http://localhost/StoreVBVS/Default.aspx. The error is as follows and before we get to it I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to respond to my plea in advance, you are a great person =) And now to the error:

Multiple Languages

snufff — Fri, 22 Jul 2005 13:21:35 GMT

I'm trying to implement multiple languages in portal starter kit!

1st

I made Configuration an abstract class with virtual methods.

2st

i made 4 classes ConfigurationPor, ConfigurationEng, ConfigurationEsp and ConfigurationFra witch each one implements an abstract class Configuration. This is because the xml I want to read is different.

It appears that now, I just to Implement the ascx and aspx files with the Configuration I want.

Now the question?

Do I Make any sense doing this???
Is there other way to make this?

BUG - Portal doesn't update Admin changes correctly

A Small Rodent — Fri, 18 Feb 2005 07:43:11 GMT

To the moderator -

Please edit as you wish before posting

//

I have found a fundamental coding bug with PortalCSVS.

The 'SaveSiteSettings' method in the 'configuration' class may cause the 'sitesettings' in the 'SiteConfiguration' object to be evicted from the cache before all of the 'sitesettings' changes are recorded.

On a number of occassions this method is called before all of the changes are written to the 'SiteConfiguration' object.

Example 1 - EditImage.aspx.cs

Line 1 config.UpdateModuleSetting(moduleId, "src", Src.Text);
Line 2 config.UpdateModuleSetting(moduleId, "height", Height.Text);
Line 3 config.UpdateModuleSetting(moduleId, "width", Width.Text);

In this example only line one can execute correctly because 'config.UpdateModuleSetting' calls the 'SaveSiteSettings' method which evicts the 'Site Configuration' Object from the cache which means that further references to the object call the 'GetSiteSettings()' method which disregards any dynamic changes that could have been made to the parameters in Line 2 or Line 3.

Hence when Line 2 executes it simply writes values that are Loaded by the 'GetSiteSettings()' method after Line 1 has executed, instead of the dynamically changed values from the web UI.

To confirm this behaviour add a breakpoint to the line if(siteSettings == null) of the 'SaveSiteSettings' method.

Add breakpoints to Line 1, 2 and 3 from EditImage.aspx.cs.

You will see that after Line 1 has executed if(siteSettings == null) evaluates to True causing the 'GetSiteSettings()' method to be called. NOT GOOD if all of the dynamic changes haven't been written to 'Site Configuration' Object.

IT GETS WORSE -

Example 2 - TabLayout.aspx.cs

Line 1 // resave the order
Line 2 Configuration config = new Configuration();
Line 3 foreach (ModuleItem item in modules)
Line 5 {
Line 6 config.UpdateModuleOrder(item.ModuleId, item.ModuleOrder, pane);
Line 7 }

In this example the 'UpdateModuleOrder' calls the 'SaveSiteSettings' method hence the cache is cleared and the 'Site Configuration' Object is reset by the 'GetSiteSettings()' method after the FIRST round of the foreach loop.

I have added an extra bool parameter to the 'UpdateModuleOrder' method and UpdateModuleSetting and programatically decided, before the methods are called, when the 'SaveSiteSettings' method should be called.

NOTE - After adding the bool parameter compilation errors will let you know where the methods are called from so you can rewrite your code, setting the bool, to suit the situation.

As far as I have determined this issue only affects TabLayout.aspx.cs and EditImage.aspx.cs.

If you would like a copy of my precise solution then please request via email.

Incidently this post resolves the issues described in my two previous posts.

BUG - EditImage.aspx.cs
Bug - TabLayout.aspx.cs

//

You may wish to post this twice - As a response to each of the previous post.

Either way - your choice.

how can i make my url friendly

Ahtesham — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:52:04 GMT

hey

i am using Dnn 4.9 and i make a page name category and in that category i am displayin the list of mobile brands and when any user click any mobile brand it display all the mobiles in that brand in another page and when user click any mobile it display its detail in another pager

mobiles brand(category) => mobiles page(mobiles) =>mobile detail (mobiledetail)

http://localhost/dnn/Category/mobiles/tabid/60/id/2/Default.aspx

but i want that i get this url

http://localhost/dnn/mobiles.aspx or http://localhost/dnn/mobiles/2.aspx somthin like that

when i search i find that if i can rewrite the url with the help of siteUrls.config

and they give many example like

<RewriterRule>
<LookFor>.*/category.aspx</LookFor>
<SendTo>~/default.aspx?tabid=59</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>

i tried that but i do not work , am i doing somthing wrong , also how can i make this work for part 1 and part 2

so i can make friendly url for both 1 level and more then one level pages

also is it possible that i can make my part 2 url somthin like this

http://localhost/dnn/mobiles-c2 (that category selected is 2)

Extending Context.User.Identity.Name to add USERID

TinyPond — Fri, 16 Aug 2002 04:58:58 GMT

Using the Ibuyspy framework once a user logs would like to hold onto the UserID behind the sceens. Then whenever the user adds a record I would like to store the userID rather than the users email address. I believe currently this is store in Context.User.Identity.Name Using VB.Net how could I or what would be the best method to hang onto both the username email and userid. I don't want to use session variables.

In advance thanks for you advice and help.

tabindex and links table

lewisar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:48:22 GMT

I've inherited a project based on the IBuySpy portal and there's one item in particular which I find really puzzling. The links database table contains hard-coded "tabindex" values in the url column. But in my application I need to have some tabs which are not visible due to the user's lack of necessary authority, in which case Tab "A" say, which was tabindex 4 for one user, may be tabindex 3 for another user (who is not authorised to view the tab which was tabindex 2 originally say), or even tabindex 6 for a third user who has authority to view all tabs. So in these cases I don't know what the tabindex will be until the user is logged in, in which case it's impossible to configure the links table data correctly for Tab A.

I notice that Application_BeginRequest always resets the tabindex to 1 before getting the new one from the request string. Is there any way to make it default to the "current" tabindex if no tabindex is supplied in the request string?

Or is there some other way to make this work?

Thanks for any help

m_sekhon — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:41:27 GMT

Hi all

Does the Portal starter kit have an online survey module built for it? I'm basically looking for a CMS system with support for publishing online surveys. Are there any other ASP.NET based frameworks that offer this functionality.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks.
