It's been awhile since I've had to upload files with classic asp and now that we're changing servers, we're having a problem with the server guys. They don't want to install any components on the server in case they cause problems with the server (memory leaks, etc...).
We are currently using Dundas file upload. Anyone know what I can use instead? Or of any components that don't cause any issues and are free?
I need advice about a good Upload component that can also give us the flexability of download and impersonation. If some one knows about a good componenet please do let me know.
Have checked the following ActiveFile, SA-FileUp, and Huge Asp Upload.
Also have used XML and ADO stream to upload the files, this could be perfectlly done in IE as we cannot create an object on the client side using Netscape.
I am having problems trying to make a form submit information back to itself. The form works fine when I am not using the enctype"multipart/form-data" tag that is used to upload files with the <input type="file"> form component. However I need to upload a file using this form and also pass information back to the ASP page aswell.
How do i upload excel files to the server from the client browser without using any third party components. My server runs on NT server. And I am coding in ASP( Vbscript).
I am working on getting through the book Teach Yourselve Active Server Pages in 24 Hours. Now, I am not learning ASP.Net, but ASP. Why, because, I am getting a lot of calls for asp, but not many for .Net. And I just don't know enough as I'd lilke. At any rate. I have gotten to the section on Working with components. for example the MSWC.NextLink I don't have it. I am running IIS 5.1 because I am on a Windows XP machine. And I am told I need a SDK download, but which one? Everywhere I look, its IIS 6, but that doesn't work on my machine. So, how do I get these components so I can run them.
After working for so many yrs in ASP and COM I still feel novice. I have asp page nd a COM component (.exe) which is written in VB. For some fixure, I have to remove my IIS and reinstall it. My ASP page is not instantiating my component. Whereas, components which are dlls working frin in ASP pages....I checked permissions on DCOMCNFG, file directory, folder, file. Any clues what is missing.
Error Type: Server object, ASP 0178 (0x80070005) The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object. /testcomponent.asp, line 2
line2 is just a createObject for my .exe com component.
I am new to using components in ASP, whilst I can see the huge benefit of using them, the big problem that I am coming up against is that my host won't let me register them on the server. My question is simply this: is the only way around this problem to setup your own server (which is probably beyond my technical ability) or are there lenient hosting companies out there that will let you install components freely (obviously subject to their approval)? I dont know if there exists a directory of components somewhere which have been approved by hosting companies as safe to use on servers? Im a little confused as to how I can take advantage of components if I can't physically install them. Is it possible to use a component removely without having to install it on the server? Sorry, I know I have asked a lot of questions but I am really in the dark here and not quite sure what my options are.
I need to convert a dynamic (ASP) page on my site to a PDF, so I am looking for a PDF component which can open the page from a URL. Failing that it would need to open an HTML file from disk and convert.
I've been searching and there are hundreds with rather random pricing and different feature sets.
Can anyone recommend a component for this job which doesn't cost a fortune?
How can I make components to my asp code in VB or other VS 6. Nedd to know all the steps, because never make any activeX component. Nedd also to know how to call the dll file as well to receive and pass arguments to it.
I am trying to use a component to execute a file but I'm not exactly sure how to could some one please provide a little bit of sample code showing me how to use a simple component?
I've just been reviewing a COM component (VB6) that I wrote a while ago to record when and where 404 errors occur; each error is logged in a DB along with supporting information.
Looking at it now, I'm wondering why I chose a COM component rather than just an ASP page. There is not that much code involved, so I could easily have expanded the ASP page that calls the DLL to do the whole job....
COM Component: Generally perform faster than an ASP page, but there is an overhead associated with creating a new object in the calling ASP page, so more suited to more intense apps that dont require user-interaction. Also keeps code private of course.
ASP: Keeping you code in an ASP page is often more efficient for smaller jobs, where the cost of creating a COM object outweighs the potential performance gain. Also prefered for tasks that require frequent user interaction. Code remains public (to those who have access to server).
This is what prompted my question: At what point, does it become worthwhile to go for a COM component as opposed to an ASP page? Is there that much difference in it?
Are perceptions of the issues fairly accurate?
I've updated the DLL in question - it was a bit of a ball ache: modify code & compile, reset IIS, then copy DLL to server and re-register. I know my DLL in this example doesnt do much, and I'm certain that modifying and copying ASP pages would be simple & efficient, but at what point does it pay to use a DLL?
anyone have any experiencing using serverobject's components guid maker and aspmail? i'm wanting to change my cdonts scripts to the aspmail com and was wondering how good it worked. the guid maker is also installed on my host and was thinking of using it.
I migrated an application from NT4 (IIS4) to 2003 (IIS6).
The application only works when the components are registered with regsvr32.
One of the webpages doesn't work-- when I fill the form out and hit submit I get "compx error '800af10a' Insufficient memory to perform operation. /submit.asp, line 283"
I've tried going through and changing permissions but haven't had any luck. I also tried setting the Web Site to use an Application Pool that I created to run as System Mode but that didn't make any difference.
Everything works when I select "IIS5 Isolation Mode".
Knowing that it works under IIS5 Isolation mode how can I determine what is causing the message so I can run it under IIS6?
I am running Sun One ASP v 4.0.2 on Apache 2.0.x on Win XP Home. I noticed that Sun One Asp doesn't come with components such as AdRotator, Content Rotator, Browser Capabilitles, etc. Is there any way I can install all these components on Win XP Home. For me upgrading to Pro is not an option.
if I have a component that I want to use in my web site (a DLL), is it possible to reference it at runtime in code without having to register it with the O/S? Basically every hosting company I look doesn't say if you can reference your own DLL's. But surely there's demand to do so?
How do I register FileSystemObject and ImageGlue component with MTS? Because the files manipulated using ImageGlue & FSO need to be recorded in the database. Without transactions, a lot of 'floating' files (without entry in the database), and entries without the physical files left around on the server.
I was wondering if there is any updates or components needed if you was going to connect a database in ASP. Because I have a script that I download from a website that I know works 100% but when I set it up in my own IIS environment. it comes out with a 500 error. I've searched the internet and I keep seeing mentions of ADO and Mac types .
I'm currently developing a website for my company. I would like to provide list server functionality to the site, if possible. We have a third party mail service, so I can easily POP and SMTP.
Does anyone know of any nice and reasonably priced list servers for ASP?
I'd also like to know if anyone knows of any good event calendar components for display a small calendar on web page and listing events that are upcoming. Having an admin page would be great too.
Is there available some list of COM components available to ASP pages, that are available on virtually every IIS machine?
I am wondering wether there is some right-away-available API with cryptogrphy functions. The particular function I need is MD5 hash estimation for files. I have one written in JScript, but it would be very slow for larger files.
I make report in crystal reports and use html interpretation to bold substring in a formula field it works in crystal report, but when i call this report through asp then no effect is shown on formula field value.
I'm looking for an ASP-based email system that can be used in our alrady existing web application. I've done some research and I found one, but it was a while ago and I didn't keep good documentation so I don't even know what the KEYWORDS were that I used to find it. Does anyone have any suggestions.
So far I've found one called EasyMail Objects from Quiksoft. It's offers several .dll files that will do the IMAP, SMTP, POP3, etc, but I still have to create the pages.. I want the pages already created for me.
Are there any free components out there that will analyse IIS log files and write selected information to a DB?
I know there are free packages like Analog and Webalizer, but I'm more interesting in an app or component that feeds log files in to a DB so that it can be queried later.
I'm going to have a need to send out about 30,000 e-mail messages regularly to addresses that reside in a list/database. (not spam :)
Because of insitutional infrastructure issues on the +receiving+ side, I need to space out the sends: say, send 500 messages, pause ten minutes, send another 500, until the full list of 30,000 is complete.
I'm either going to code this myself, or buy a component that does this for me. Can anyone advise me of a component that can deliberately slow down the processing/sending of an e-mail job? The SMTP stuff will reside on our end.
I have written an ActiveX component for a WEB app. that is invoked by an ASP page. Since multiple instances of this page will be requested, are there any special coding practises that I should be aware of?
I ask this because it 'crashes' (CPU goes to 100%) after 'a few' hours runtime. Are separate instances of the control invoked with each new page request?
