ELMAH shows host, code, type, error, user, date and time by default on its error log web page. Is there any way to configure it and show other fields like IP or REFERER?
(source: googlecode.com)
You could write your own error page. Bind a datagrid to ErrorLog.GetErrors() and use whatever columns you want:
List<ErrorLogEntry> entries = new List<ErrorLogEntry>();
ErrorLog.GetDefault(HttpContext.Current).GetErrors(0, 50, entries);
string ip = entries[0].Error.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
string referrer = entries[0].Error.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"];
ELMAH is open-source. You can download the source and make any modifications you like (within the terms of the license, of course.)
You should be able to trap any data made available by the HttpConext.Request object. You'd have to modify the code that grabs and stores the data, and the database to make columns for that new data.

My task is the following, I need a way to store a query string value of s and pass it to the merchants Order Confirmation email.
consider the following,...mybigcommerce.com?s=fb.
Let's say that my client posts his website link to facebook and adds in a query string of s with a value of FB (facebook).
The desired result would be that on the initial load of the page, the query string would be saved as a cookie(or in Bigcommerce's case a global or store front variable)
Once I have it saved, I now know that you just simply append the variable to the email template.
example output:
email template source : %name_of_variable%.
My problem is, however, I don't see how to store the value into a variable.
Can I accomplish this without using the API, or for that matter can I do this using the API?
Thank you in advanced, I hope I have provided enough information.
Unfortunately, you cannot create your own variable in the email templates. The variables used here have been created and are supported by code within the core application. As such, it would require a core application change to extend existing functionality/add a variable. There isn't a way for you to write to an existing variable either.
Ok, I've been bugging with this for too long.
I need to call my website from a rough VB.net app. Then only thing I need is to attach a query string parameter to the calling url, so I can distinguish the pages to be shown to different VB app users.
So I want to click a button and launch that website, giving this parameter.
First I was bugging with adding the system.web libraries. Now I can't use Request/Response.QueryString as well.
I tried getting some example help from this post. but as I said before - I cannot make use of Request.QueryString as I cannot import it.
I am stuck here:
Process.Start("http://localhost:56093/WebSite1?id=")
I need to attach a query string parameter to the url and then open the website with that url.
Can someone just give me a sample code for my problem.
Query parameters are parsed by the web server/http handler off the URL you use to call the page. They consist of key and value pairs that come at the end of the URL. Your code is nearly there. Say you needed to pass through the parameters:
ID = 1234
Page = 2
Display = Portrait
Then you'd turn them into a URL like this:
http://localhost:56093/WebSite1?ID=1234&Page=2&Display=Portrait
Therefore in your code you'd have:
Process.Start("http://localhost:56093/WebSite1?ID=1234&Page=2&Display=Portrait");
I am building a Web application and I want to allow users to insert records into a database. The method that I came across is to take the information from text boxes and run this code:
SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["ProductCode"].DefaultValue = txtProductCode.Text;
SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["Name"].DefaultValue = txtName.Text;
SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["Version"].DefaultValue = txtVersion.Text;
SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["ReleaseDate"].DefaultValue = txtReleaseDate.Text;
try
{
SQLDataSource1.Insert();
}
...
If I try to inject some SQL I get the error message:
Message: String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated.
Does this method sanitise the parameters? I am having a hard time finding this information because I am not sure if there is still a way to get around this error. If it does not how should I go about sanitising the inputs?
Additionally, the ReleaseDate parameter seems to be currently reading as dd/MM/yyyy but is there a way to lock this so that the same code on a different system doesn't behave differently. I am worried that if the code is run on a system with different regional settings it will use a different format.
One of your field in the table is not long enough to insert the value. You need to check each of ProductionCode, name, Version and ReleaseDate for their length and increase them accordingly.

I've been looking for this answer for a couple days now and I've been getting little bits of information that make it seem that you can have ReportViewer Control automatically prompt for the report's parameters. Just everything that I've tried and found doesn't seem to work. I've gotten the Parameter Prompts to work on a Windows Form but I just cannot get it to work in ASP.NET
I guess I'm simply asking can you get Report-viewer's Parameter Prompts to work in ASP.NET? if so, How?
I know you can do it manually, it's just, I feel if you can make ReportViewer Prompt automatically why program it yourself?
Edit: this is for local processing btw.
Prompting for parameters is not supported in local processing mode.
In article Report Parameters Dialog Box (Visual Studio Report Designer), which is invoked by clicking the Help button on that dialog, it says in the introductory text that:
The parameters properties that you specify in the Report Parameters
dialog box become part of the report definition. Some properties are
intended for programmatic use only. In contrast with reports that are
processed on a remote report server, a locally processed report does
not have a parameter input area used for selecting or typing parameter
values.
A little testing shows me that the default values specified for the parameters will be used, unless you modify them programmatically. I could not find an explanation on this design decision. If you want to use local processing, and prompt for user input, I would recommend to follow this solution:
I you embed the reports in a ReportViewer Control, you can put it on a page or form and add custom input controls to that page or form to gather report parameters. In the code-behind files, you will then pass the parameter values using code like this:
List<ReportParameter> parameterList = new List<ReportParameter>();
List<string> selectedProductTypes = listboxProductTypes.GetSelectedValues();
ReportParameter productTypes = new ReportParameter("ProductTypes", selectedProductTypes.ToArray(), false);
ReportParameter username = new ReportParameter("Username", "<current user>", false);
parameterList.Add(productTypes);
parameterList.Add(username);
reportViewer.LocalReport.SetParameters(parameterList);
In this example, you can see how to pass a multi-valued parameter, the values of which are taken from a multi-select ListBox.
You can also create a page that has the controls to gather the parameter input, put them in a set session variables and then transfer to the page that has the report viewer.
use object data source and set the parameter source as Session.
The only code you need to write is filling the session variables.
Can anybody tell me how to pass a value from one web form to another web form without using a query string and session?
You can pass the Values over different pages via QueryString like:
Response.Redirect("yourNextpage.aspx?identifier=DesiredValue");
On your next page you can retrieve the value like this:
Request.QueryString["identifier"];
Other Preferred way would be Server.Transer() and Postbackurl.
Refer this link for various possible ways.
there are several ways you can pass parameters between pages.
Using a Query String
Getting Post Information from the Source Page
Using Session State
Getting Public Property Values from the Source Page
Getting Control Information from the Source Page in the Same Application
for more detail visit followng link.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6c3yckfw.aspx
You could use a Querystring in this case:
Page.Response.Redirect("show.aspx?id=1");
And then read it on the other end:
int id = Page.Request.QueryString["id"];
Using PostBackURL, ex:
PostBackUrl="~/result.aspx"
and on result.cs (Page Load)
lblEmployeeNumber.Text = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["txtEmployeeNumber"];
With Session:
For example you login the system and your id is 123123123.
string userid = 123123123;
Session["userid"] = userid;
When you go another page/pages your session is alive when your session timeout.
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="1250"/>
</system.web>
It seems what you're looking for is something like the flash-, view- or conversation scope in Java EE and Ruby on Rails.
For ASP.NET you could perhaps take a look at this one: Is there an equivalent of JSF #ViewScope in ASP MVC?
depends on type and how much information you wish to transfer. for instance, if you want to transfer some variable (strings or integer values) you consider to use querystring (you can found here major information). for instance, if you want to transfer typed objects (class instance) you consider to use session (you can found here major information).
