Communicating With External App/Device From ASP Page
I have a project in which I need to send info to/get info from a RS-232 port of the server depending on the client clicks on a asp web page.
How can I access a serial port from the ASP code itself. I tried to use MSCOMM... But it is not working. Is there any way to do this?
As an alternative mechanism, we planned to shift all the communication related stuff to Visual C++ application which sits as a service in the Server and do the necesary communication stuff whenever it receives any request from an ASP page. We planned to use socket communication between ASP page and VC++ application if we go with this way. What are the other ways that a VC application and a ASP application can talk to each other...?
How can i build a simple (Classic) ASP page which can be viewed from a mobile device?
Can someone give me an example.& is there any way that i can test these asp pages of mine using some emmulator of some sorts. as i do not have any mobile devices to browse the net.
I want to put the same JS tag on sites A and B that call an asp page on domain C.
The tag would look like this: <script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://secure.C.com/Demo/Intercept.asp"></script>
The ASP page on domain C would write a cookie, in theory the cookie should have permissions for read and writing from site C. Something like this: Response.Cookies("Name").Expires = Date() + 365 Response.Cookies(SurveyName).Domain = ".C.com" Response.Cookies(SurveyName).Path = "/"
In firefox the result is exactly as planned, a cookie is set when a user goes to sites A or B via site C, and using this same approach, I can read the cookie from domains A and B via the JS tag calling the script on site C.
IE does not like this. Sometimes it doesn't even write the cookie, other times the cookie has to be there b/c of resulting actions taken, but when viewing the list of cookies, it's no where to be found. Additionally, I don't seem to be able to read the cookie the same way as firefox is letting me.
I know this can be done, I went to foodnetwork.com (yeah I love to cook), and saw that they were using a metric service that was calling a back end script from the vendors domain, and setting a cookie from that vendors domain, all without the user seeing anything or leaving the foodnetwork.com domain. I've looked at the resulting JS code that is returned from these vendor back end pages, and it has nothing to do with the cookie being set, it's definitely happening server side.
I want to load a web page from another server via http into an array or variable, parse it, and pull some data using plain ol ASP / VBScript.an example page to pull:
I'm no ASP/VBScript guru, but I need to read a page from another domain, extract some information, and format it inside one of our own pages at the office.Just to make one thing clear: I'm not ripping off someone else's page. The external site handles employment ads, and we're supposed to include our own ads from there.
Frames or iframes are out of the question, since we use HTML 4.01 Strict. The markup on the external page is horrible (layout tables, presentational markup, etc.). I want to read the external page into a string, and then extract the actual ad information and format that on our page. This would be very easy in PHP, using fopen(), and I assume there is something similar for ASP/VBScript.

I am test developing an internal webserver, on Windows XP, and IIS 5.1, with ASP and MySQL.
One specific page is created from user input and database records in previous pages and presents a page with customised data and a webform. It then takes input from the form and session variables and passes these to an vb exe in the the wwwroot using the from
http://localhost/example.exe?testparameters. The vb exe takes the command line parameter input and does its thing and it all works, but I am aware this is a very insecure way of doing this and I implemented this only as a quick workaround so I could test implement it all then refine it for deployment.
My question is, what is the best way for input to be passed from a web form to an vb executable for it to do its thing. The exe will eventually preferably run as a service, or at least all ways be active on the server, and not starting for every request then ending, as I was hoping to allow for sorting and queueing of requests passed to the exe, before they are executed.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the effect of having device filters such as for isnokia7110 in your web.config on IIS/ASP peformance? Is there anything to be aware of here?
Is it possible to run ASP on a handheld device? There's information on my website that I would like available on a portable device without connecting to the internet. Basically, I'm looking to run a ASP site locally on the device.
I have a list with product names (the list will grow),each of those products could be read as a barcode as well,so I was asked to change my web site so that users are able to scan that barcode, that would be easy if I didn't have to look after users who have a scanner and once that don't,
so the idea was if they have a scanner they scan in into a input box(not sure if combo box can be used) and according to the product code scanned that automatically populates the combo box list with the relevant product name, if they don't have a scanner then they just manually select the product name from the list.
I need to dial in and connnect to mobile devices from my asp website over internet(using VOIP) and sent numeric messages to that mobile device (not just the sms or email). I did some reading on VOIP but couldn't get usefull info. If any of you could help me out on how to do this.

does anyone know some code to be able to divert mobile phone users to a different site (wap version) clicking on the same link as a pc user would.I have been able to get the browser by using Request.ServerVariables("http_user_agent")Though it is only mobiles that i want to divert else where (this does not include PDA's).I'm guessing it is via an 'IF' statement but I don't know?
I am trying to display a random background image for a webpage. I found this code to do it
<% 'Defines the number of background images you have Const NUMBER_OF_IMAGES = 2
'Initiates the randomize function Randomize
'Sets a variable: this will be used to hold the 'random generated value Dim intImageNumber
'This is where we create the random number intImageNumber = Int((NUMBER_OF_IMAGES * Rnd) + 1) %>
Modify the body tag to accept the random number. In this case we are going to place it within the image so as to facilitate the selection of a random image. Code:

I have multiple websites on my Intranet. My current search engines can search within their own environment. However, I would like to have one search page, which retreives results from all environments.
My first task is to connect, retreive and display results from a second server (through http). Then I will need to scrub the results to display in a unique template.

I'm looking for a way to include a file from another server in asp page.using #include won't work because it's not on the same server. In php, you can simply include(), and it doesn't care whether or not it's on the same server, is there a similar function in asp?

My company recently hired a third party to handle phone orders during off hours. The third party wants to be able to update our database through their own interface. We are running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 Server with ASP.NET 1.1. The number one thing that come to mind is security for credit cards. Perhaps some kind of web service, xml, etc.?
