• Linking to documents in a folder that local network users can write to - path & security questions

  I wan to build a list of documents and display that list on a page. Each document name would be linked to its path on the server. However, I would want this path to be seperate from the website path, so that users can not have access to aspx files etc. How can I setup a folder that the web server has access to and can request documents from, yet this folder is outside the path of the website?

• Re: how can i lock a file that has been opened by an asp.net page

  Well, the problem is occuring when multiple users are editing the same content. This content is stored in a text file, then loaded into an in-browser editor. So lets say 3 users start an edit session on this same area, and in this order A - opens the editor and starts some changes. B - opens the editor and starts some changes, but now A hits "save" C - does the same thing and hits save also User (C) wins because all his changes have just overwritten anything A and B did. So who ever opens

• potentially very messy - office documents with links being used within web app

  I have users that are making various office documents available from within one of our asp.net web apps. No problem I thought, until I discovered they are using several "layers" of linking - web form lists several documents, each of which have links to spreadsheets, which in turn link to other spreadsheets. Isnt this going to cause problems with session state? Even if they are using IE, wont session state be compromised? I have a session-based login and all files in the application are

• MSBuild task for

  Ive been using an open source automated build tool for projects that actually have a project file, but for web projects, I have just been publishing manually and hand-editing the config file, as many others probably have been. Its getting to the point now, with several projects, that I need to automate more. With my build tool (R2) I can execute an msbuild task. Now comes the question, how do I write an msbuild task that will do the build steps needed AND modify that web.config file to switch the

• streaming a pdf - works when running locally, but not on server

  I have a web app that is streaming a pdf to the browser. The pdf is located on a file server which is accessible to both myself and the web server. When running my app locally in VStudio, the same pdf is streamed correctly. However, this same pdf file, in the same location, when I copy out my web app to our test server, the pdf is corrupted somehow and will not load. Help/suggestions ?

• Web app to query excel spreadsheet vs sql table

  I have been asked to enable one of our web apps to read data that currently resides in an excel spreadsheet. I have the choice of either importing this data into sql or attempting to query it directly. The 2nd option I am leery of, if for no other reasons than for performance. What kinds of issues could I run into if I just queried the spreadsheet directly ?

• ajaxToolkit - calendar makes table resize itself

  Im using a ajaxToolkit calender, wrapped up in a user control that someone else has written. When I hit the popup button, the form elements below are shifted further down in the screen real estate. How can I avoid having other form elements shifted in their position when the calander button is hit ? Can I set a z-order or something to cause the popup to be "cloating" ?

• forms authentication - logout works ok, but cant login again without closing browser

  I have a link that goes to a page which calls FormsAuthentication.SignOut - fine, that works. I also do a redirect, which bumps the user back to the login page. When the user tries to login again, its not working. The return url seems to be wrong. After 1 or two failed attempts, I get an unhandled error.
