Creating a Test server - Certain links getting redirected to live server.

The FindControl method is one of the most commonly used methods in ASP.NET development. The purpose of FindControl method is to find the ASP.NET control on the Page control. It is also used to find the nested control within a particular ASP.NET control. The problem with the default implementation of the FindControl is that it fails to find the control when nested deep in the hierarchy. This results in problem when looking for controls inside the more complicated controls in ASP.NET which includes Wizard, Login controls etc.

I think in many time developer need this event, which is not provided by any browser and it is not captured by any javascript event.In this Article you see how you capture this event and how you force the browser to load the page from server.

According to wikipedia, CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a challenge response test which is used to check that if the user is human or not. CAPTCHA is used exclusively in applications where the user input is required. These applications include Blogs, Forums and Portals. In this article I will demonstrate how to create a simple webpage that uses CAPTCHA functionality.

Charts and graphs always attract more users to the website. Displaying statistical data in the form of graphs gives more meaning to the data. There are tons of third party controls that can be used to create impressive charts but almost all of them come with a price. In this article I will introduce a very simple charting control, WebChart which allows the developer to create really cool looking graphs with only few lines of code. The best thing about this control is that it is totally free. The article will focus on creating the SmoothLineChart and the PieChart.

An approach to displaying a "please wait" message/animated gif following a button click using encapsulated client-side JavaScript.

It is often useful upon a form submission in a web application to display a "please wait" message, or animated .gif image, particularly if the submission process lasts a few seconds or more. I recently developed a survey submission application in which internal users upload excel spreadsheets through a web page. The application inserts the uploaded data from the spreadsheets into a database. The upload/insert process may only take a few seconds, but even a few seconds on the web is a noticeable wait. When testing, some users clicked the upload button repeatedly; it was useful to provide a visual clue that the upload was underway. For that matter, it was useful to hide the upload button altogether, preventing multiple clicks. The control presented here, a subclass of the Button control, demonstrates how client-side JavaScript code encapsulated in an ASP.NET server control can provide such functionality conveniently.

The HtmlAgilityPack is a powerful library that makes screen scraping in asp.net a breeze. This is the second in a continuing series where I demonstrate a way for you to extract all the links from a snippet of HTML

All of the sudden I'm getting the following error on my local web server (Win7 64bit, IIS 7.5).  I've uninstalled & reinstalled IIS locally and it didn't fix it.  IIS is set to start up automatically and I can see that the service has been successfully started.  Upon a fresh reboot if I go into IIS and click on start website I get the following error:

"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.  (Exception from HRESULT:  0x80070020"

If I try to start debugging on my local website project I get the following error:

"Unable to start debugging on the web server.  The underlying connection was closed.  The connection was closed unexpectedly."

Any ideas on what I can try?  I've been doing research on the issue and Microsoft suggest making sure no other service is listening on the same ports.  I've verified that this isn't the issue.

I need to create reports that output to Microsoft Word via ASP.net and C#.  I don't think SSRS is what I need here and I'm not sure what the common practice is for achieving this.  Any help?

Hi

I need to know if a web application deployed in a 64-bit server runs as a WOW64 process or a 64-bit process if the web application's pages are compiled as PE 32/x86 ?

I mean I have read a lot about normal console applications or executables with PE 32/x86 run as WOW64 on 64-bit servers. But what about web applications( all i can compile is the pages which are dlls)? The only process I can think of is w3wp.exe for web apps. Please explain. I am confused.

Thanks in advance
