Dynamically Generating GUID Online And Then Using Them In VB.NET How Might I Do This?
first, say I have a payment processing scheme, and after a value is returned letting the program know that a sucessful payment is made, that somehow I dynamically create a GUID, (or something of the like). I want to have it somehow embedded in the program as well as well as sent to the buyer so that he can enter in that GUID and it unlocks the program.
So somehow I want to generate a GUID, either inside the program or outside of it which either way is incorperated into the program, and so that I have a copy of it. I want this all to be able to be done dynamically and I assume it would have to be done in ASP.NET as it doesen't seem feasable to run a .exe program on the web.
Any leads? Or perhaps there is some sort of "shell" that I can embed my program in that will do this for me. Any ideas?
I have generated Bar, Line and Pie charts using the MSOWC.DLL and its fantastic.
The ONLY problem I have encountered is when generating Pie charts it shows the quntities of each piece inside the Pie chart and its very hard to read. But in Excel it shows outside the Pie chart. So, I want to find out a solution for this.
how would i figure out what the GUID for .pdf Titles would be? right now I'm using an asp script to return file information. I can get the file title if the file is a .doc type....but not if it's a .pdf type, even though a title is present in the properties. I can however get the .pdf file name as it's stored in the directory...just not the Title.
If someone registering for the site, enters their GUID. Now a check is made on that GUID across a DB Table to see if the GUID is present. There are approx 57,000 GUIDS in said table. It is msSQL DB on windows server 2000 server, how long would that check take?
I know there are several variables that come into play here, but I am looking for a ball park figure on how long it would and should take.
I have been creating new GUID's through this block of code
set typ = server.createobject("Scriptlet.TypeLib") guid = TRIM(MID(cstr(typ.GUID),2,36)) Response.Cookies("guid") = guid Response.Cookies("guid").path = "/" Response.Cookies("guid").expires = now() + 1 set typ = nothing
Lateley, some visitors to the website are actually receiving the same guid.How is this possible? Is there a process that may be used to reset the guid delevery sysem?
set typ = server.createobject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
to create a random string of 36 characters. However, is there a way to create a random string of digits in the length I request? Perhaps a string of 20 digits with a few asterisks thrown in for ease of typing?
I use following code in an ASP page to generate a GUID:
<% dim obj Set obj = Server.CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib") Response.Write(obj.guid) Set obj = nothing
%>
It worked fine on my WIN2000 computer running IIS. I recently bought a new computer with XP Pro and this page times out. I now it is the call to obj.guid. I have seen the same behaviour on another XP machine as well.
The funny thing is if I paste this code into VB and display the guid in a message box, it runs without a problem.
I wanted to know that is there someway in ASP that I can generate images on-the-fly without using ne 3rd party component?? Like its possible in CGI-Perl to generate ne type of image on-the-fly, is there a way 2 that in ASP? OK, if the 3rd party components r the only way, then r there ne free ones available?
I need to generate some reports with graphical charts (line, pie, bar and polar). I want to generate those charts which represent database values. Hope I have to use a 3rd party control for this.
I've been surfing the web and this forum for methods to upload images through a form in a browser. I've come up with a few results, e.g. Dundas free upload component.
Besides that I've got the free product from ServerObjects.com to check the ImageSize and found some other non-component method to check the Image dimensions at: LearnASP.com.
Users should be enabled to upload a thumb for their profile. Since I can't expect each user to be a computer literate they might upload an image which is a bit too big. Are their free methods with ASP to reduce those images in size? I'm simply using ASP here with IIS. For now I can only give them an error stating that their image is too big.
A second matter might be a photogallery where there's bigger images and thumbnails. Right now I'm using Irfanview/Ifranview to quickly make thumbs for each regular image. Like with the example above it would be ideal if this can be automized as well, since users should be enabled to put up some small photogallery as well.
I know there's some fancy expensive methods to achieve this, but usually they offer loads more and all I need is something to crop or resize (resizing is best).
I'm looking for a code or a component that will enable me to generate images on the fly, through my ASP code. For example: Retrieve some textual data from a database and make an image out of it. OR Combine text and an existing image into one new image. OR Read an HTML file that contains text and image and generate an image from it. I've found programs that do it (like ABC Amber Text2Image Converter), but I fail to make it work through a code and not through a software console.
I have been asked to produce reports which will be triggered and generated automatically via scheduled tasks against data in SQL SERVER. The reports will be generated as CSV's to provide compatibility with Excel. The reports will then e-mailed as attatchments to an agreed list of recipients. This all has to be done with the use of ASP and SQL Server. Can anyone advise on how the prolem should be approached?
I'm generating excel spreadsheets online with many manufacturers. One particular manufacturer has 5000 more records than the next highest. When I query for that manuf the table does not form. Just plain text. It doesn't time out. Just doesn't form properly.
Is there a cache or setting I need to increase to get this much data?
Does anyone know of any freely usable code that helps automate the process of generating RTF files from ASP (particularly generating the code needed for tables)?
Basically I have a site where the administrator adds new students to a college system. This code just adds a new student to the database. When they are added a username is generated by taking the first letter of the forename and the first from the surname and joining them to the date.
(ie, James Brown would generate JB2005) Obviously some people will have the same initials so i'm trying to get all the records from the student table in my database that has the first two letters as the student I'm trying to add and adding the value of the count of that recordset before the date of the new students initials. (ie, if Jane Bennett was added the username would be JB12005 because there is already a user with the initials JB in the database)
At the moment if i add a new member to the database, the fields are populated but the count of the recordset is not added so I end up with duplicate usernames. I'm not sure if the recordset is even being filled or whether the recordcount is not working. Code:
I am working on a system which requires data to be entered for candidates. It stores the whole data about the candidates in database(MS Accesss). The system will be used on client-side.Now what Iam required to do is generate reports as required by the user.but i have heard about reporting tools which can be used with ASP to generate reports.
The reports can be in Excel format or word format.Please suggest me which one should i use and how to use it?I am very naive to anything like this. Where can i find more info about it?
I have a question about generating reportDates upon import succeed of text files to Access. In the tables that needs to be imported daily has a field name called reportDate.
I have done in such a way that an ASP page will call the Import Macro from Access & execute it. There is no data for reportDate in the text files because I want it to be updated by the codes itself(auto-generate).
I adventured into Access, double-clicked on one of the tables & then View it in Design View. I entered Now()-1 in the Default Value caption. And then, I try my Import code & went back to check on my tables to see if data has been imported into or not. I also check my reportDate & realized that Access enters the date as 1 day before.
When the user creates a new page, rather than go through every other page in the site and add a new link to the left hand navigation I want to use an include file and search the folder for all .asp and .htm files and display them in the navi as a link. If that makes sense?
I've been playing around with FileSystemObject, but am struggling to get the desired results. Rather than display the full name of the file in the navi, I want to remove the file extension and the path, and maybe convert the leading letter to a capital so it looks like a regular nav.
I am using dreamweaver MX to connect to a microsoft database with the typical data stored such as name, address etc. I gt this information to displlay via recordsets and thats all good.
BUt im having trouble exporting the data from the database inot an XML document. I know I can do it on Acces itself but i want to be able to generate it using ASP. How do I do this?
My ASP page can currently just display selected table & selected field names prior to the selection of tables.
My ASP page has: - 2 drop down list - 2 submit button
Currently, both of my drop down lists can work.
1st DDL: Displays the table names 2nd DDL: Displays the respective field names prior to the selection of table from 1st DDL.
The scenario is like this; When User selects the tablename & clicks 1st submit button, the 2nd DDL will generate the field names. User selects the field name he/she wants to view from 2nd DDL & clicks the 2nd submit button.
I know its quite lame to do it this way but I'm still a novice in ASP. So hoping to get ideas from you people on how can I re-decorate my search engine into a useful tool for the User in the future.
how I can generate xl bar charts from ASP page. For example, just a click, take the input (recordset), put in a chart and open up/open a xl sheet, show the chart through excel application.
I tried with user defined class, but this isn't working with excel.
How do you go about generating a number based on the current date and time? I want to generate a number to be used as a confirmation number to an email. My site does not connect to a database or anything just pure asp with an email form.
I would like to do is to generate statistics from my access db.
Within the db there are fields for each of the 11 plaers in the team each week, i.e. p1, p2, p3 ...... in each one will be a name, i.e Bill Bloggs but the name could appear in any one of the 11 fields.
What I would like to do is count the number of occurances of bill bloggs in the 11 fields and return it on my site as a table, i.e.;
I have a project coming up soon where pdf files are stored in our oracle database. They want me to pull the pdf form out of the database and present it to the user on the screen. I've done a little searching on google, but haven't been able to find anything that helps. Can someone tell me if this is possible and if so, give a little example?
