Can we add external data source in End User Report Designer rather than giving in web.config file.
I just need to add new external data source like in form of popup that will take SQL server path ,username and password
To add custom data sources into the report designer, create these data sources at runtime and add them to the ASPxReportDesigner.DataSources collection.
Take a look at the Web Report Designer - How to add/edit/remove data sources in the web report designer (Custom DataSource wizard) еxample which demonstrates this approach in action.

In web application [asp.net], i am upload the Excel file from admin end. now i want to display that excel sheet in my asp.net at the user end whe he click on button "Show", is it possible to show the uploaded excel sheet in asp.net pages. Tahnk you.
Not sure about any third-party or open source control but you may use ADO.NET OleDB provider through which you can read excel sheet and later you may display content via GridView control.
Can you please let me know how I can fetch the data from Sql Server 2005 Database in multiple different languages and display them in the ASP.NET application?
I am creating asp.net web site for global users with mulitple language support using .resx resource files and by changing the CurrentCulture and UICulture of asp.net page to the selected language by the user from the HomePage using System.Globalization and System.Threading namespaces
So far I have managed to display the User Interface on the page in different languages as I am fetching the control caption text message/images from the resource files but how can I display the data that fetched by the application inside asp.net page controls from sql server 2005 database similarly how to make the user filled the data on registration or anyother form in the selected language.
Can you please let me know
The simplest way (for static data) is to grab English data and translate it via standard resource files (treat English data as keys and read text from resource files).
Other option is to create Localization table with primary key based on string identifier and Culture identifier (i.e. 1033, 1036, etc.), containing translated texts and get translated data with appropriate query (this would require joining...).
The real problem could be dynamic (entered by users) data if you have it. You would need to rely on DB table like mentioned above, but you would need to create an interface in your application to allow content translation...
How can I make a dll of my web application usercontrol?
I have usercontrol222.ascx, but I want to make a dll out of this usercontrol.
Create a project containing only your user control ("usercontrol222.ascx") and grab the control's dll from the deployment of your new project. Here's the source of this method with a more complete explanation: Turning an .ascx User Control into a Redistributable Custom Control (Notable excerpts below, see the link for the full run-down).
Step 3: Use the Publish Command to Precompile the Site
The next step is to use the new
Publish command to precompile your
site and turn your user control into a
potential custom control. You'll find
the command under Build / Publish Web
Site. In the Publish dialog, do the
following:
Pick a Target Location. This is the location on your hard drive that your
site will be precompiled to.
Deselect "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable". In updatable
mode, only the code behind file (if
any) would get compiled, and the ascx
would be left unprocessed. This is
useful in some scenarios, but is not
what you want here since you want the
resulting DLL to be self-contained.
Select "Use fixed naming and single page assemblies". This will guarantee
that your user control will be
compiled into a single assembly that
will have a name based on the ascx
file. If you don't check this option,
your user control could be compiled
together with other pages and user
controls (if you had some), and the
assembly would receive a random name
that would be more difficult to work
with.
Step 4: Finding the Resulting Custom Control
Now, using the Windows
Explorer or a command-line window,
let's go to the directory you
specified as the target so we can see
what was generated. You will see a
number of files there, but let's focus
on the one that is relevant to our
goal of turning the user control into
a custom control.
In the "bin" directory, you will find
a file named something like
App_Web_MyTestUC.ascx.cdcab7d2.dll.
You are basically done, as this file
is your user control transformed into
a custom control! The only thing
that's left to do is to actually use
it.
You cannot. User controls are for the simplified scenario where you do not want to create a custom control. They have the disadvantage that the .ascx file and any other artifacts (images, styles, etc) must be included in each web site that uses the user control.
If you need complete reuse between projects, then you need to create a custom control. That's not actually that hard, if you directly translate the user control into a custom control.
You may want to look at developing your own server controls. See the following similar discussion: ASP.NET Web User Control Library.
I am creating an excel report in vb.net using the office interop. When the report is completed I am saving the excel file on the C drive. The users have asked to save file anywhere they want not just the c drive. Can someone give me some code to popup an opend file dialog in asp.net?
I want the dialog to popup in a saveAs in ASP.NET. I know how to do it in win forms, but I am creating an excel report in asp.net and calling the worksheet objects SaveAs property that excepts a fileName. So right now I just hardcode a file name in there. The users want to choose a file location
I think what you want is actually rather simple.
You can't save a file to the user's computer due to security restrictions (would you want a website saving a file to your computer?)
What you need to do is:
Complete report
Save report file to location on server, IE (.../myWebsite/files/GUID/myReport.rpt)
Display link on next screen pointing to the report file
Doing this the user can right-click and save the file to wherever they want on their computer.
You can clean up these files on whatever schedule you would like.
Assuming you are actually talking about a desktop, winforms app then you can use the built in FileSaveDialog.
Official documentation is here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.savefiledialog.aspx
but there are tons of tutorials explaining it out there:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=vb.net+savefiledialog
You can server files with the Open / Save dialog by using Response.TransmitFile().
The user is then presented with a save as dialog where they can choose the filename and the location on their computer.
You normally do this inside a HttpHandler. A simple one is described here:

I am working on a simple portal application using the ASP.NET membership and login controls. I would like to use the PasswordRecovery control to send emails containing forgotten passwords, however my portal requires localization. I have an existing Content Management System that I am pulling the localized strings out of and I would like to link the PasswordRecovery control to that system.
But, it appears that the PasswordRecovery control will ONLY accept a .txt file for the email body...the property is PasswordRecovery1.MailDefinition.BodyFileName
I do not want to use a file on disk, I would like to use the localized content in my CMS.
Is there any way to do this? It occurred to me that I might be able to use the SendingMail event to send my OWN email through the normal System.Net namespace, but that seems sorta cludgy...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Max
Try handling the SendingMail event of the PasswordRecovery control. In that event, set the e.Message.Body and e.Message.Subject properties to your localized text.
Found this by googling "BodyFileName localization":
http://forums.asp.net/t/1118242.aspx:
Just bind the property to a key in
your page's localresource file. The
page's local resource file is the file
located in a subdirectory called
app_localresources in your page's
directory. Just use visual studio's
"tools -> create local resource"
option in design view for it be
created for you.
In that file, create a string
key/value pair with something like
Name: myBodyFileName
Value: myDefaultBodyFile.txt
Then bind this to the BodyFileName
property of the login control with
something like
'>
Then just create the sattelite local
resource files for other cultures and
map that key/value pair in those
resources to other body text files.
By the way, if you used visual studio
to create the resource file for you,
then the binding may have been done
for you automatticaly. Just search for
a
"MyChangePasswordControlResource1.BodyFileName"
key in the resource file or something
similar.
