I've been lurking and searching for a while and hope someday to contribute to the forums. My question though it may seem strange is this. Is it possible to run a compiled VB app on the client machine that is called from an asp app running on an intranet server? Intranet server pushes asp to client's web browser. Client clicks on a link that somehow runs the process on the client machine. I realize this is not what asp is meant to do but I do have some applications that could be integrated into the company intranet fairly easily if this is possible. A re-write in asp would be labor intensive. It is simple enough for me to setup standard folders on the clients that require these apps
I am developing an app that has a reporting function which displays the non-PDF reports. One of the users wishes to have the reports saved to his machine as PDFs.
The app can convert the reports, and save to the server with no problem (uses a component for this). The problem is, figuring out how to save the reports to the client.
The ideal approach would be to have the app save the reports to his desktop, like some of those stupid casino sites save their shortcut links.
However, I would settle for just just being able to force the "download" dialog to display, instead of opening Acrobat when the app attempts to send the report to the client.
im setting up a database email for my job and i still need a little help. Thx for those who helped me out for past touble...
Well, im now at the step of email deletion from the list and im using a simple script for that (cuz im new to programming).
After the customer received the email, i want him to be able to unsubscribe to my newsletter with a click on a link which lead to a delemail.asp page where the script is. Code:
I have a page which allows the user to open one of several spreadsheets by streaming the XLS to the client.
On my development site, everything appears to work fine. On the live site, it works fine for the vast majority of users, but not for my colleague & I.
When this page is called with the correct inputs, the standard Open/Save/Cancel/More Info dialog should appear. In the dialog, it gives the following details:
Filename: Gothenburg Sweden.xls File type: Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet From: Servername
Clicking on open, means that the file will be opened in the local copy of Excel; this works for most people, except one colleague and myself. In our case, after clicking on Open, we get the following error msg:
"Internet Explorer cannot open travel.asp?journey=1 from <servername> Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
I want to validate client entries into textbox,checkbox controls etc. can u do this with asp. Like, is there onchange and onclick and so on for these controls?
I'm currently working on an Intranet for one of our clients. I'm developing a user directory for them using a SQL Server database. My client has provided me with the information to connect to the server remotely via windows remote desktop connection. I would like to know how I go about getting Dreamweaver to connect to the database? Will I have to create a database locally and then publish the local database onto their server or, can I create the database on their server and using DW to connect to it?
This has happened before and it was due the connection string not being set in VB. My question is, when I try to reconnect can I use a different connection string on the client than I have on the server, I wonder because not all my connection strings are not equal.
Some of my database paths are in Access and the rest are in SQL. That means I have to retry several times before a scrip timeout occurs. If you have read this far then you are an idiot, but the rest of the database seems to work just fine. In fact I can pull all fields out with no problem. It is just that connection string that has resulted in causing my pages not to post.
I have created one ActiveX DLL in VB that has one public function ("GetClientCPUID") which will return a string of the CPUID. I want to use this to get the clients CPUID and retuern to webserver. I am new to using activeX in client side.
In Asp how can I send this ActiveX to client browser? (I will instruct my users to allow this activeX). Is there a way I will execute this activeX in clients PC and get the return value and return to the server for my processing? Please suggest the ways that I can do this.
Also suggest what are the situations that I should know before I proceed. I think there will might a issue when I upgrade the activeX and the client those are using the current one may face problem so I think I will need a way to uninstall the register the new one. Code:
I want to add clinet side javascript on the asp:dropdownlist's onchecked changed event how i do this does any one have any idea.i use the following method in vb.net code behind file
I have my asp pages stored in my server ,but when i try and call the asp pages in the clinet side it does not show a portion of the page,the same thing if i call from the server it shows me.
I know ASP isn't the best way to do this, but is it possible?
I've written an application in ASP that manipulates an MS SQL database. We'd like to have our application automatically backup the database at specific times. We'd also like to generate an email report once a day on the statics of our database.
Is this possible with ASP? How else could it be done, considering our application is all HTML/ASP?
I'd like to have two radio buttons, and the first one will be selected by default when the page loads. When it is selected, the two checkboxes below the second radio button should be invisible.
The only way to see the two checkboxes is when the second radio button is selected. If you select it and then go back to the first radio button, those checkboxes should disappear again.what should i do?
I need to know if, and how, it is possible to use ASP to download a file automatically from the web server to the client in a given path. Is that possible ? Ideally I want a page with a link that when pressed it will copy a certain file that exists on the web server down to the client.
1.what's the cons in using access 2003 with client/server apps?I know for starters that it crashes when traffic is big and that u have to repair and compress it every now and then. what do u think? 2.and also,should I write and execute my sql sentences in the asp page itself or use wsc for that? 3.what are the benefits of using xml besides xmlhttp and using it to retrieve info from other sites?I have heard that u can present your own data easier with it.
Is it possible using mailto: to create an email with everything except an attachment and then when a user clicks on send intercept that form and recreate the email on the server and add a file to it?
We want to create an Intranet page for our customers. which provides a variety of information. But we also want to be able to allow users to access applications on that PC by clicking a link on the page (ex. link: WRITE A LETTER - opens MS Word). All PC's are imaged the same way so the applications are always in the same location.
I'm sure this is a violation of MS security inherent in IE, IIS, or in Windows XP alone. Can someone offer an advice - as to (1) is this possible using an Intranet page; or (2) is there a development environment that it would be possible in?
I have a need to transfer a graphic file to a user's system and then access that file. I must have the drive letter:path location of the file. If at all possible I'd prefer that this not require user input. (Note that since this is my app and in a corporate network, I have the server in the Trusted Sites zone and every single action is marked "Enabled" in the IE security settings and users will be using IE exclusively.)
It doesn't matter to me how the file gets to the client, save that it get there from IE, and the file is initially retrieved via a url I give the client. I have even looked into reading the file out of the IE temporary files but have had no luck.
I know this is actually impossible, but didn't know how else to describe it: I have created a Content Management System for a client using ASP connecting to a Access database. It doesn't do any fancy things: INSERT, UPDATE, etc. I also use ASPUpload to upload images onto the server.
When I test my CMS from my own machine and others, it all works fine. However, testing it from my client's machine, the Updating or Inserting of data ends up returning a 'page not available' error (the asp page calls itself when the form is submitted) and the changes to the database are not being executed.
I really can't figure out why this is happening. Could it be a setting on the client's browser?
I have functions with which i can validate a URL from serverside. But, i need to valide the URL at the Client side (ASP- Javascript) itself. Is there any way to validate a given URL from the Client side.
i m creating city checkboxes from database table...so using this client can subscribe for various cites...after submit i m adding all his/her datails into subscription table ...i m adding all selected city into one colums branch_city...and after this i m sending email to corresponding subscription department of selected city....and only one email to client with the all city name he has been subscribed... Code:
Right what I am after is a neat bit of code that wraps up sending a cdo email with an attachment from the clients machine and not the server, so need a built in browser and file upload send and delete facility in the creating and send email code?
My current webhost provides limited web-based e-mail management, but at the same time does provide unlimited number of pop3 accounts.
I would like to offer my clients the ability to compose, send, receive, store, sort and filter e-mails using an interface with my company brand on it. Is the best solution to add an e-mail application to my web application which allows me to do all this (something along the lines of this e-mail application retrieving the e-mails from my host's server and storing them in a database on my application).
I hope I have made myself clear, if so what are my best options? Are there components available in ASP.NET that provide a solution to this? Would a web service be able to provide this functionality.
How do I execute an executable (which will install some files) on the client machine which is stored on the web server. I've found this feature on many web sites.
