tabstop of a textbox

Hi all,
I need to allow users to copy the value of a TextBox but I don't want to
allow them to edit the value. I am able to achieve this by setting the
ReadOnly property to true. But now when the user clicks tabs to navigate
through the controls on the form, I don't want the readonly textbox to get
the focus. In VB6, I used to set the TabStop property to false. How can I
achieve this in ASP.Net?
Thanks.
-NikhilHi,
Set the TabIndex property of the TextBox server control to -1.

tabstrip/multipage

Hello
I've been using the tabstrip and multipage controls and really like the way
this combination allows users to switch between tabs without a postback.
I'd like to get more detailed information about these controls but can only
find basic information on the internet. In particular, I'd like to hide or
disable tabs dynamically and I'm not sure how to do this. I'd appreciate any
examples or insight.
Thanks
Mardyhave you tried using the selectedindexchanged .
But you have to set Autopostback ="true" and remember the tabstrip index
starts from "0"
Hope that helps

For example
If YourTab.SelectedIndex = 0 Then
tsHoriz.Items(0).Enabled = True
tsHoriz.Items(1).Enabled = False
End If
Hope this helps

Patrick Thanks
I'm using the tabstip as a series of input screens to capture information,
Once the process is complete, I need to hide one of the tabs. So I'd like to
hide an entire tab dynamically from the code behind if the status of the
record is "approved".
I tried using the example you gave but had no success.

Try using :- tsHoriz.Items(1).Enabled = False
There were some issues when i worked with the TABSTRIP but can't really

One final note

This gets me close BUT if I have a postback anywhere in the tabstrip page,
I get a nasty viewstate error. This is apparently due to the removal of the
mutipage item.

Tagging in .NET

I'm wondering if anyone could help me in figuring out the architecture / database tables needed to implement tagging into my website. Users would be tagging their RSS feeds.

Are there any good articles that explain the architecture and tables necessart to implement this?

Thanks in advance.could you explain what you mean by "tagging"?

"implement tagging into my website"

"tagging their RSS feeds."

Whats this "tagging" ?

lol.. jinx Curt... i had my reply window open and stepped away for a bit before i finished my post
Thanks for your reply...

I thought that "tagging" is a fairly well know functionality in the internet world today. I guess I am wrong. Please let me explain...

Flickr.com - allows you to associate words to a photo, or...tag the photo with a descriptive word
http://del.icio.us/ - allows you to "tag" a link with a descriptive word or words.

In my case, I have RSS feeds that I would like to allow the users to "tag" or to associate a descriptive word or words to a feed.

Here is a great article that explains it in more detail. What Im looking to learn and implement is the architecture and datbase tables necessary to incorporate this into my website.

http://freshtakes.typepad.com/znetlady/2005/07/tagging_what_is.html

Thanks again.

So in short:

You are asking "why am I making this more complex than adding a simple 'description' column to a database table" ?

I seriously don't see all the confusing and over-thinking of adding one extra field onto your data table(s) for your users to add/edit/search-on

taking a file stream and posting it to a web page

I am getting a stream that contains a PDF file and the task is to get that to a browser for the users. I was able to write code to do this with small files, but there are files so big that it can't be stored in the byte array. I wrote a loop to break down the byte array and it comes accross about the right file size, but Adobe Acrobat can't read it and says it's corrupt. I am thinking there must be a way to write the stream directly into the browser. Why do I need to build a byte array to do things like this (all the examples I find use a byte array)? Is there a way to take the stream and just run it directly into the browser?

Here is the code I have. Works as long as the file doesn't exceed the limits of the byte array:

ProtectedSub Page_Load(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)HandlesMe.Load

'This returns the stream fine:

Dim msAs Stream = Test3A()

'Show the file on the web page

Dim bytByteStream()AsByte

ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)

ReDim bytByteStream(CType(ms.Length,Integer) - 1)

ms.Read(bytByteStream, 0,CInt(ms.Length))

Dim countAsInteger = 0

While count < ms.Length

bytByteStream(count) = Convert.ToByte(ms.ReadByte())

'bytByteStream(count) = ms.ReadByte()

count += 1

EndWhile

Dim brAs BinaryReader =New BinaryReader(ms)

Response.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/pdf")

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=def.pdf")

Response.BinaryWrite(bytByteStream)

EndSub

Here is the same code with the do loop to break it down (but returns a file to the browser that Adobe Acrobat can't read: PublicSub test3c(ByVal msAs Stream) 'Show the file on the web page Dim bytByteStream()AsByte Dim intByteIndexAsInteger Response.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/pdf") Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=def.pdf") IfCType(ms.Length,Integer) > 65000Then intByteIndex = 65000 Else intByteIndex =CType(ms.Length,Integer) EndIf ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin) ReDim bytByteStream(intByteIndex - 1) 'ms.Read(bytByteStream, 0, CInt(ms.Length)) Dim countAsInteger = 0 Dim intPlaceAsInteger = 0 Dim intCyclesAsInteger = 0 While count < ms.Length bytByteStream(intPlace) = Convert.ToByte(ms.ReadByte()) count += 1 intPlace += 1 If intPlace = 65000Then Response.BinaryWrite(bytByteStream)'Writes to the browser intCycles += 1 'Increse the cycle meter IfCType(ms.Length,Integer) - (intCycles * 65000) > 65000Then ReDim bytByteStream(65000)'If we have more than 65K more to go, set up for next chunk Else ReDim bytByteStream(CType(ms.Length,Integer) - (intCycles * 65000))'If less than 65K, then put out whatever we have left EndIf intPlace = 0 'Reset the index placment counter EndIf EndWhile Response.BinaryWrite(bytByteStream)

EndSub

MemoryStream outputStream = ' Construct the stream here...

Response.ClearContent()
Response.ClearHeaders()

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=PDFFile.PDF")
Response.BinaryWrite(outputStream.ToArray())

outputStream.Close()

Response.End()

NC...

NC,

I see what you are going for and it would be great if it could be simple like what you are doing. However, I am getting a 'stream' from an API which I am passing to the procedure we are working on. Standard 'stream' does not have a "ToArray()" method. Is there a way to convert the stream to a memoryStream? Is there a way around this?

Schu

Try this then:

Dim ms As Stream = Test3A()
Dim outputStream As MemoryStream = CType(ms, MemoryStream)
' Rest of code...

NC...

I get the following error:

Unable to cast object of type 'EMC.Centera.BlobStreams.BlobReadStream' to type 'System.IO.MemoryStream'.

It allowed me to pull it out into a byte array as shown in my earlier code, any other ideas on what would work?

Schu

I have no idea what an 'EMC.Centera.BlobStreams.BlobReadStream' is. I tried the cast with a normal Stream object with no problem, so no, I have no idea.

Did you try:
Dim ms As MemoryStream = Test3A()

NC...

Yes, I know, that is from the API. They claim it is coming out as a simple stream (but obviously if it were we wouldn't have issues). I rewrote the code assumeing it was a memorystream and got the error:

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: offset

when I got to the "...(outputStream.ToArray()). Any thoughts?

I was looking through the documentation for this vendor code (sparse) and they mention that the stream is a "blobstream". then it says "that is what your VB code will use to Read - the Stream.Read method."

So, is there a way to convert a blob stream into a memorystream?

Schu

Well, since I have no access to the API that you are using, and all the references to "BlobStream" seem to be Java API related, who can tell? I'd request help from the vendor that created the API as I don't think that you will get much help here.

You know, if you could write the BlobStream thing to a temporary file, this would work:

Dim fileName As String = Server.MapPath("~\Reports\TestPdfFile.pdf")

Response.ClearContent()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.WriteFile(fileName)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()

NC...

Yea, that's a good idea too. Late last night I got together with a couple of the sr devs here and we came up with the following solution that seems to be working. I rem'd out the code that I had in the earlier post so you can see that all I did was remove a section. Thanks for your help! :)

'Show the file on the web page

Dim bytByteStream()AsByte

'ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin) ReDim bytByteStream(CType(ms.Length,Integer) - 1) ms.Read(bytByteStream, 0,CInt(ms.Length)) 'Dim count As Integer = 0 'While count < ms.Length ' '>>Following line produces error: ' ' "Value was either too large or too small for an unsigned byte." ' bytByteStream(count) = Convert.ToByte(ms.ReadByte()) ' '>>also tried this which did not work ' ' "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow." ' 'bytByteStream(count) = ms.ReadByte() ' count += 1 'End While Response.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/pdf") Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=def.pdf")

Response.BinaryWrite(bytByteStream)

Well, I was wondering why you seemed to be filling the Byte array and then refilling it in the loop, but I guess I got side-tracked on the MemoryStream thing. Glad you got it.

NC...

Taking the website offline

Hi

Imagine, I want to update my website and I want to tell the users of the website (when they visit the site during the updat) that they will be unable to use the site for an hour. During the update, the users should be able to use the website

How can I achieve this?

regards

In the start even for the session redirect them to a page that says the site is off-line, and in that page's code abandon the session.

you do or don't want them to be able to use the site?

You could put a redirector in, or simply replace the defailt.aspx page.

You could put a redirector in, or simply replace the defailt.aspx page.

The problem with replace default.aspx etc is that the user might come in via a bookmark that hits a direct page. By hijacking their first request via session_onstart you can guarantee they'll go to your offline page, and by abandoning the session in that page their next request to go someone in your site will result in the same behaviour.
