Oh boy, someone is really taxing my brain late at night Smile | :)

I think the asp.dll file is going to be installed when you install IIS.

ASP only call a function in DLL to return the name of Word document which is created.

This is my code.

ASP Code:

Set objTest = Server.CreateObject("TestCOM.Test")

objTest.PhysicalPath = Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH")
objTest.gstrName = "aa.doc"

Call objTest.OpenFile()
%>

VB Code:

Option Explicit

Private WithEvents mobjWordApp As Word.Application

Private m_gstrName As Variant
Private m_PhysicalPath As Variant

Public Property Get PhysicalPath() As Variant
PhysicalPath = m_PhysicalPath
End Property

Call mobjWordApp.Documents.Open(Doc_Path, False, False)

Set wrdDoc = mobjWordApp.ActiveDocument

Doc_Path = Me.PhysicalPath & "TempFiles\TestResult.doc"

Call wrdDoc.SaveAs(Doc_Path)

wrdDoc.Close

We have the following test class

Public Class MyTextBox : Inherits TextBox
End Class

It's empty on purpose. Now, the class is used as follows in a web page:

Public Class WebForm1 : Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
   Private mTextBox As TextBox
   Private mButton As Button

   Public ReadOnly Property Form() As HtmlForm
      Get
         Return CType(Me.FindControl("Form1"), HtmlForm)
      End Get
   End Property

   Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
      Me.EnableViewState = True
      mTextBox = New TextBox()
      Me.Form.Controls.Add(mTextBox)
      mButton = New Button()
      Me.Form.Controls.Add(mButton)
      AddHandler mButton.Click, AddressOf Me.ButtonClick
      If Not Me.IsPostBack Then
         mTextBox.Text = "ABCDEF"
         mButton.Text = "PressMe"
      End If
      Debug.WriteLine("PostBack=" & Me.IsPostBack)
      Debug.WriteLine("Text=" & mTextBox.Text)
      Debug.WriteLine("Button=" & mButton.Text)
   End Sub

   Private Sub ButtonClick(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
      Debug.WriteLine("ButtonClick")
      Debug.Indent()
      Debug.WriteLine("Text=" & mTextBox.Text)
      Debug.WriteLine("Button=" & mButton.Text)
      Debug.Unindent()
      Debug.WriteLine("ButtonClick")
   End Sub
End Class

The output after loading the page, and clicking the button looks as follows:

PostBack=False
Text=ABCDEF
Button=PressMe
PostBack=True
Text=
Button=PressMe
ButtonClick
    Text=ABCDEF
    Button=PressMe
ButtonClick

Now, if I change the mTextBox variable to be a MyTextBox, and say mTextBox = New MyTextBox, I get the following:

PostBack=False
Text=ABCDEF
Button=PressMe
PostBack=True
Text=ABCDEF
Button=PressMe
ButtonClick
    Text=ABCDEF
    Button=PressMe
ButtonClick

The difference is that on the first trial (when mTextBox is a TextBox), Text is Nothing before the button click, but correct afterward. When mTextBox is a MyTextBox, Text is already set. Huh? WTF | :WTF:

Isn't anything declared as a MyTextBox simply a TextBox, since there's no additional implementation?

Sure it is, as long as you have permissions to the file. Look at System.IO.File or System.IO.TextWriter.

You ould have to check with your host if they would allow you write to files on the server. I wouldn't see why not, as long as it was in your space and your trying to write to system files.

Do they support ASP.NET?

I was trying to port some asp code to ASP.NET and can't seem get the imagemaps to work. the asp:image tag doesn't seem to have anything for it. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish the same thing?

Well, I dunno about .NET, but image maps are not belong to ASP, it is plain HTML, e.g. client side

When I tried using a normal img tag with the imagemap on an aspx page it didn't work and the asp:image tag doesn't have that attribute availalbe. Unless I'm missing something.

Help Required with ADO on ASP

Hi.

Im trying to learn ASP and im having problems with connecting to access databases. Ive tried to open a connection and can perform a select statement and all is well. However, when I try to update I get an error must be an updateable query. Ive tried insert and update, neither works. So I tried to open a recordset and use the .AddNew method and I get an error saying:

Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.

db.open "select * from user", connstr, adOpenDynamic,adLockOptimistic
(please ignore the case)

where connstr is "DSN=Test;DBQ=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Project2\db2.mdb;DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;"

Ive also tried not doing a select just opening user?

Im stumped can anyone help?

Do you have the ADOVBS.inc file included on that page, you will need that file to use those variable name associations.

If you don't have that file, you can replace set your variable adOpenDynamic = 2 and adLockOptimistic = 3

Add

<!-- METADATA TYPE="typelib" uuid="00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4"  -->

at the beginning of the ASP file. Thus you will be able to use constants of ADO. This is better way than to have include to adovb.inc

You want to use the Request.ServerVariables collection.

LoadControl

OK, this is driving me absolutely nuts, because I can find exactly NO help on it on the net. I'm trying to load in a User Control using the LoadControl method, the error that I get every time is as follows:

System.Web.HttpException: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %> )

I've got the following tag at the top of my aspx file:

<%@ Reference Control="ClientInfo.ascx" %>

And my code looks as follows:

'The .vb codebehind file:
Dim C As ClientInfo1 = CType(LoadControl("ClientInfo.ascx"), ClientInfo1)
Page.Controls.Add(C)

Any ideas? Has anybody else seen this type of error before?

Thanks in advance.

Regular Expression messing about

Chris Maunder29-Apr-02 21:12

29-Apr-02 21:12

Hey,

I'm messing around with regular expressions in order to get something that will automatically convert URL's into live hyperlinks in the forums. I have the following expression:

(http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w]+(.[\w]+)([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?

which does a good job of getting URLs, but I need something that will not return a match if the URL is already enclosed in <a href=...> tags.

Any thoughts?

Those looking to play with this a little can use my online regular expression test page.

cheers,
Chris Maunder

Re: Regular Expression messing about

Andrew Peace30-Apr-02 1:38

Easy peasy - just put a space before it:

" (http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w]+(.[\w]+)([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?"

'cause if it's already <a href='d then you have the equals instead of the space.

HTH.

[edit]
Obviously you can extend it to check for any letter other than an '=' followed by any number of spaces, followed by the URL like you've already got(ten). I can't remember the exact syntax off hand and don't have docs handy; I hate doing regular expressions Smile | :)

So what if the URL is at the beginning of a line? Or what if the URL is of the form <a href=...> www.abc.com</a>?
