I am using Win2k, IIS 5 and vbscript as well as asp.
I want to run an asp page that creates a PDF (using a third party ASPPDF dll) as a background process to free up the main website as it takes about 3-4 minutes to render the PDF.
Any ideas on how to do this or where to look?
I am wondering how to do automatic ASP background process to generate every
few minutes statistics from DataBase? I.e. how many people are already
registered... or how many people were born in 1980(?) etc... And of course
this background process should insert measurements into a special ROW in DB.
Does anybody know how to do this?
Could anyone send to me example of it?
I need an asp code/page to run in the background and execute periodically/full time. This code must do some actions based upon time intervals.
For example, The code must keep running and must send an email every 6 hrs. ASP is preferrable.
I'd like to process an ASP page and pipe it's contents out to a file.
I can do this easily in PHP by using the php executable on the command line through a cron job(unix). Is there an equivalent for ASP? I see it as a less complicated cache.
So far I've only been able to output the actual script lines to a file. I want ASP to intrepret, then output.
is anyone have some link or know any please where I can find some information about how ASP is working in background, how it cooperates with IIS and similar stuff.

I have built an asp app that sends an e-card to selected recipients along
with the text entered by the user. Well, on some machines the text is not
visible because the background color of the table is not going across
correct. The background color is supposed to be teal with white letters.
However the background is going across white with withe letters on some
machines. I am using the same browser (version and everything) as one of the
machines that can't see it the correct way. I am able to see it fine. I have
put in the back color for all of the cells the table, etc but it's still
going through white. What would cause this to happen?
does anyone know a way to run a function in the background that wont depend if the browser is open or close?
i need a function that counts down time for a couple of hours & when time is done sends
an email.
I have done a CMS system and if I could do something in background mode,for example, send a newsletter.I don't want to wait until the page loads completely.I'm creating a mail object for each record of my newsletter suscriptors,I don't know if it would be better to use bcc with all records.

View Replies View RelatedI am using two asp pages that have large (up to 1280X1024) background images. The image is the same on both pages, but when I go from one page to another it reloads the image each time and flickers for a second when loading because the file is so large. Is there a nifty way to keep the background image the same across two pages without reloading.
View Replies View RelatedIs it possible to make functions or system calls run in the background of an ASP script? I need to ping a numebr of different addresses, and as I could run these at the same time, it would make it a lot quicker, especially as a few of these addresses will always deliberatley time out, which holds the other pings back. I'd like to be able to run all simultaneously, but if i could at least run one ping (which i'm doing via a ping.dll module i found) in the background that would be great.
i've been searching around but for the life of me I can't find anything about this. does it exist at all?
Is it possible to set an image as the background body image (non-repeating too) in a message sent using CDO. I don't want to embed an external webpage (I have to insert user form related variables back in the body of the email) and the image is on the server the mail is being generated from - have googled for ages on this one but can't seem to find
anything suitable...
I have a ASP web application, in the application I need to check if people did submit some documents, and if they don't past a certain date I want to send them email notifications.
I am using SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Agent How can I write ASP code to run in the background on my IIS server, that will check for people who did not submit past a certain date and automatically send them email notifications?
There is a setting in IE for "Print background colors and images."
I've noticed that without checking this option, a web page will print CSS
lines between table rows, but a background color of say the header won't.
The below style will display the borders in print preview, but won't display
the background color.
Does anyone know if it's possible to force background CSS or HTML colors to
print without having the user change the default in IE to not print
background colors? Code:
I have a stored procedure that gets called from an ASP page. I had a requirement to adjust the stored procdure to have a delay, so now my browser waits for the stored procedure to complete before it returns the page and value I am looking for.
Is it possible to launch the stored proc from the ASP, but have it run in the background per say and return the value immediatley to the browser, cause the browser portion to not appear to be delayed?
how to change the background color of a web form programatically from C#. I have found examples on the web for Visual Basic, but I can't get them to work in C#.
View Replies View RelatedAre there any div attributes that could force a div element to stay in the
background? I have a .vbs calendar class that opens a small calendar.
Unfortunately, sometimes it opens above a form element like a combo box and
the combo box shows on top of my calendar.
The combo in question happens to be within div tags because it hides/appears
depending on another form choice.
Any got any good links on forcing div elements to the background?
how to run a script in the background? I have a stored procedure, which gathers a lot of info on various tables in a MSSQL , and from that rebulds a large table. I run this stored procedure like so:
Response.write "Updating CWC Page .... wait until you see <b>Finished!</b>"
dbconnection.CommandTimeout = 0
DBConnection.Execute("proc_updatecwc")
Response.write "<bR><BR>Finished!<BR><BR>"
this script takes about 3 minutes to complete, and then I can't do other stuff on the site. This script needs to be run at regular intervals, whenever new company information is added. Now, I want to be able to add the new info, and let the script run in the background, without waiting for the outcome / output. Can this be done?
I have a table with coloured cells. I want to print out the table via IE with the coloured cells. But the outcome of the table does not have the cells coloured.
Are there ways to force out the colouring of the cells in the print outs?Either via php/asp/css or any means.
My background images are not appearing on the page. I am unsure why. I can see them on my on pc, but nobody else with the same computer configurations can see these background images. We are using XP, so I thought there may be a problem caused from this.
View Replies View RelatedI know how to alternate table row bgcolor by odd/even method but what I am
trying to acheive is alternate colors by the date value in the database so

I have web page that I use for add/delete/modify records from a database. Depending on what the user desires on previous web page this particular web page allows users to add, modify, or delete the record from a database. Each has different directions and labels on buttons are change with in code.
My users also want the background color for add web page to be one color, modify web page to be different color, and delete web page third color. In VB this was form.background color, but can not seem to find solution in MSDN for this one.
I am using a new payment gateway for one of my sites. One of the options they recommend for submitting the credit card info involves submitting a form in "the background" with a post. They then return a comma-delimited string, which I can easily parse and act upon.
How do I submit a form in the background? I'm sure it's simple, I just never had to do it so I never learned how...
I'm a complete newbie to IIs and ASP (come from the Apache/Cold Fusion
world ). I've created a very simple ASP test page:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Response.Write "This is a test ASP page." %>
But when I access the page, it just displays the page as text, instead
of processing the ASP. I've looked at a half-dozen Microsoft KB
articles, but still no luck. I'm not getting an error, it's just not
processing.
I m facing a problem in ASP. That is on the production machine when I deploy my product at that time it dosenot perform a particular process. But on my devlopment machine it runs perfectly fine.
The only difference which lies is that on my devlopment machine in security tab of wwwroot/(website) a security permission with the name of VS Devlopers(machineVS Devlopers) exist but on the production machine it dosenot. What could be the possible problem.
Making good old fashioned asp page and need to be able to display the IIS COM+ process id's (i.e. those that show up when attaching to a process in InterDev(in debug/processes dialog box).
Is there a way to get these process id's show up in an asp page? You can tell I'm not to saavy when it comes to working my way around the WindowsAPI.
Just like to know if I am correct and no problems in this scenario:
I have page where the user clicks a button to save some information >>
gets directed to page 2 where a value gets returned from a recordset and the form is inserted automatically upon loading with the value (sequential for the database table) >>
the user then gets redirected to page 3 upon insertion into the database, if I use 'Select Top 1 ......' as a query to retrieve some information on this page am I sure that this is the correct record just inserted even if 2 or more people are saving at the same time?
i have to start a batch process from a dll to transfer
files created by this dll to remote ftp server. I created
a batch file:
ftp -n -v -i -s:D:atchftpcmds.txt ftp-server
and a file containing the ftp commands:
user username password
lcd D:atchmedia
mput *.*
quit
It works pefectly when i start it from the dosbox. But
when i call it from the vb dll implemented in IIS (shell
("D:atch ransfer.bat")), it does not complete the
transfer and hangs after 400-500 (small) files.
I need to select a csv file from my desktop through the "Browse.." button in my ASP page and upload the file and do further interrogation and extract the data to put into a database. What I'm struggling with is more the first parts with getting the file read properly in the second page so I can read and insert the data.The data below
describes the file. Quite a simple format.
Customer ID - Additional values are player IDs

if it is possible to run a process after page has loaded? reason being is i have an application that uploads a file, then zip's it up. These are 50 megs sometimes, so zipping the file can take some time. It is a two stage process though, a user will upload a file, then fill out some more info, then submit, so while the user is filling out more info, I'd like to start zipping the file. Does anyone know if that is possible? and if so how to do it?

View Replies View RelatedIt's been a long time since I've needed any help with something, so I'm happy to come back and feel dumb again. I need to learn how to process XML data and generate pages driven from that data. I know the structure of the documents, I just need to grab the data from inside certain XML elements of the XML documents.
Can someone explain this or post a link to a good site? I've tried googling, but everything I find seems to explain how to print back the XML in HTML format.
