Create text image using handler - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

DataSet aDataSet = new DataSet();
aDataSet.ReadXml(new StringReader(aXmlDoc.OuterXml));
the refered[^] article contains the above code.
i am unable to understand , how can i invoke the OuterXml ,
it is not appearing in the control properties(xml data source)

Using XMLDataSource may be different. Check this[^]

u have any link that delete,edit , update , insert the data using xml data source ?

I have never used this one. So I don't have any good links. Isn't that MSDN example works ?

No ,Actually i was trying to insert delete the recors dynamically.
do u have one such link?
and one ore thing ,
i have a Command Field control , on clickig the update button , i have to validate the textbox , having the date information, Initially i used the regular expression , but the moment i wrote 30/2/2000 (dd/mm/yyyy), it did not validate , that's y i prefered to use the java script,
how should i find out programically the update button of command field , in order to validate the date .

I know I've told you this at least 15 times, but why wouldn't you use sensible variable names ?

I've never used a TreeView control in ASP.NET, but your error message gave me an interface name, and by typing it in to google, I discovered that you need to set up an XmlDataSource in order to use XML to bind to a tree view.

Hi I am trying use OWC chart component to draw a comparative graph that will show

list of years and sales actual and sales budgeted. so i have three columsn

year actual budgeted
2004 20 30
2005 21 32

now i am trying to show year in x axis and have seperate graphs for 20 and 30 in year 2004 and 2005. I am not getting able to show both i can only show one can any please help me with it i have attached the code for easy understanding

------
Dim dsPropertyCapex As DataSet = myDAL.getBudgetVsActual(domainid, locationid, buildingcomponentid, PortfolioId, userId)

in the code project , the moment I click the thread to view the question , it instantly gets appeared (i have selected the normal option in the page (code project site)) . When i select the no java script , it takes time .In both the case , the request definitely goes to the server
Now my question is
1. what should I do In order to perform the same task?

What I thought so far is the jaa script, and java script database connectivity

2.Is this the right way to perform the task?

No in the normal case, all answers will be pre-loaded and request won't go to the server.

It's just javascript and styles. You can find it looking into this page source.

What on earth made you thin that ? Turn on javascrpt. Browse to the lounge. Disconnect from the web and click on a post. You will find you can see it. There is no request to the server.

Hello Everyone,

I'm creating directory in my project....but it's throwing an error
"Access to the path "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\KiritBhai\Gallery\Manoj" is denied"

My code is here as given below......
string add=Server.MapPath("../Gallery/")+"Manoj";
DirectoryInfo dir=new DirectoryInfo(add);
dir.Create();

but whenever i'm creating this folder in a drive like c,d and etc.
Then it's rocking..............

Give write permission to your ASP.NET account. Or use impersonation.

where to put the mpersonation in my code plz explain

You will get many results from google[^]. You should impersonate user before creating directory and remove impersonation after it's done.

Hi If u want to do it asynchronously then u can use AJAX and if u dont
mine if page get post back then on textchanged event use ilke query
and retrieve data from database using text in text box.

Hi all,
I am new in Asp.Net.I want to use Servlets, Applets, Xml, XHTML and JavaScript in my website.
But I am not sure about Applets and Servlets, Whether these can be used in asp.Net or not.Urgent Response will be appritiated.

They are basically J2EE server side elements and need JSP/EJB programming.

Very much. You can either use APPLET or OBJECT tag to embed applets.
