Playing with an Infragistics WebDialogWindow Bug

Found a bug in the Infragistics WebDialogWindow.

I discovered it when using the zooming function via holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling the mouse wheel to make the display more visible to the group I was demo-ing to. Moving the WebDialogWindow around leaves text behind. Oops.

Not exactly the demo I was shooting for.

But can be used to generate some cool effects:

This is what the WebDialogWindow looks like before moving it:

These are screenshots of the WebDialogWindow on zoom:

Floating away:

Where did my window go?

An out of body experience:

And my personal favorite -

WebDialogWindow Abstraction :

Increasing number of connections in IIS 5.1

XP Pro IIS 5.1 is limited by default to 10 concurrent connections.

This can be increased to a maximum of 40 by:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil set w3svc/MaxConnections 40

Using Manoli

I use http://manoli.net/csharpformat/ , or other manoli flavors, to format code for presentation in this blog.

Gps coordinates from Google maps

To provide directions on my Rahway River Park blog, a have link to google maps.

1. I open Google Maps to the vicinity of where I would like coordinates.


2. I use my right click mouse button and select "center map here" from the drop down button.


3. I click the "go to the address in the location bar" button usually to the right of the address.


4. A popup appears showing the coordinates of the center of the map like this: (43.60336, -110.7362)

Easy file upload from client to server using FileUpload

I needed a way to do a file upload from client to server without using FTP and found this easy solution using the FileUpload control.

Duh.

The control appears as a texbox with a Browse... button. The following puts the control on the page and sets the file to be uploaded to directory C:\\rptsys on the server.

<asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" filename ="C:\\rptsys\" />

Added a button to initiate the upload and a label to display the result:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="UploadFile" onclick="Button1_Click" /> </div> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"Width="247px"></asp:Label>

I put together a simple UI:


The Browse button opens up a full choose file dialog window.

The backend code:

  protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
               {
                    Label1.Text = "File Uploaded: " + FileUpload1.FileName;
                    FileUpload1.SaveAs(@"C:\temp\uploads\" +
FileUpload1.FileName);
               }
               else
               {
                   Label1.Text = "No File Uploaded.";
               }
       }

After the file is transmitted, I display a "success" message.

I would have liked to prepopuate the Browse textbox to the directory I know the file is in, but apparently, this cannot be done for security reasons.
