Re-Invent?

texxs — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:29:41 GMT

I've tried using the ticket system and straight up e-mailing support@re-invent.com. Nothing. In fact the e-mails just get bounced back. This has been going on for about a month. I also tried calling, no one answers, no machine picks up.

I need support help because the re-invent SQL server won't accept the connection form VS Studio 2005 any longer. This is how I manage users on my web application and I haven't been able to for about a month now. I have an entire company worth of users I need to deny access too.

So Re-Invent staff:

Are you there?

App_Code Folder not recognized

jwallz — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:46:20 GMT

Jeez, there's not much of a forum community here. Anyway, here goes:

I just uploaded a small ASP.net 2.0 webapp and none of my business objects in the App_Code folder are recognized. The app works fine on my dev machine but when i upload it, I'm getting object doesn't exist errors. My gridview doesn't display at all. I'm using a custom DAL with an objectdatasource in aspx page. The app can't find my App_Code files.Why is this happening??

I want to use the Persits.SendMail utilities from a web page and must reference them as an assembly or namespace. Do you know of any knowledge base/support articles describing how to use the Persits tool?

I have created a basic web part (http://www.webdevup.net/default.aspx) but it is not showing the options / verbs dropdown in the upper right hand corner.

301 Redirect for .php extension

dotNetDude — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 13:52:42 GMT

Greetings,

I'd like to get .php file extensions mapped to aspnet_isapi.dll so that I can set up 301 redirects from old .php pages to new .aspx pages.

Will the server admin map .php extensions for me for my site?

Message Box in ASP.Net 2.0 and VB

FEC_Mick — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 07:20:46 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to display a basic message box containing two lines of instructions. If a user needs some help on a page, they click the button marked 'Instructions' and a message box pops up and tells them what to do.

It works fine on the local server on my machine when I debug, but returns my customised error page when I upload it.

Any ideas?

The code I'm using is in a master page and is:

[b][i]Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

MsgBox("Read the information below, using the next and previous buttons, to compare your business practices with the FEC's recommendations. Create your Action Points in the table provided", MsgBoxStyle.MsgBoxSetForeground, "Instructions")

End Sub[/i][/b]

I'm sure that it is something obvious, but I'd appreciate any help or suggestions
Thanks.

Using the maildefinition in the CreateUserWizard

donovan — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:28:53 GMT

Has anyone succesully used the CreateUserWizard control and had it send an email? When I run this on my local test server, it works correctly, but when I run it on re-invent, it doesn't error, but I never receive an email.

I have my web config setup as follows

</mailSettings>
</system.net>

however, it never sends the email after the user is created. I have the maildefinition setup as

CHMOD and ASPNET permissions

richardjohn — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 12:30:56 GMT

I've been trying to CHMOD the permissions on directories on a Community Server install I'm doing so that ASPNET can control over the directory and can't change the permissions. Can you tell me the best way to do a CHMOD without using CHMOD?

Thanks.

Help with Sendmail.asp

guardup — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 19:44:56 GMT

I could use some help with my code. Warning: I am a complete novice.

I had it working fine... but then I added some extra fields and it crapped out on me. I think the problem is in the asp file - but I included both.

Any ideas?

(FYI, I edited out some pertinent stuff with XXX)

Thank you!

Does Re-Invent supports PHP extensions?

rodelsc — Wed, 23 May 2007 11:58:30 GMT

Hi,

I was planning to deploy a new website project again and have re-invent to host it again but i am uncertain if you can support php extensions. The thing is, I used KFM file manager plug-ins for FCKeditor wherein the plugins requires Apache Web server and PHP. Can re-invent make it happen to run the tool?

having problems with sending mail

zoran123456 — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 06:37:58 GMT

Hello, it seems that I'm having hard time figuring out why end-user never receives e-mail I sent trough re-invent mail hosting.

Here is the example :

Dim cred As New Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password") 'username & password i got from re-invent

Dim mailMessage As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("mymailaccount@mydomainatre-invent", "someuser@t-com.hr")
mailMessage.Subject = "this is a test subject"
mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True 'makes no difference if putting this to false
mailMessage.body = "hello, please receive this mail ..."

Dim smtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("mail.mydomainatre-invent")
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = False
smtpClient.Credentials = cred

smtpClient.Send(mailMessage)

and bummer !

I posted this topic here before I dont know hat happened to it but the problems all fixed and it was not the server at all that was the problem, I test it on my other server and it also did not work there.

mm.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(AttachmentBlank1.PostedFile.InputStream, AttachmentBlank1.FileName))
End if

If not AttachmentBlank2.PostedFile Is Nothing Then
mm.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(AttachmentBlank2.PostedFile.InputStream, AttachmentBlank2.FileName))
End if

Graphic Server - Red border around control?

Duckster — Wed, 24 May 2006 11:13:00 GMT

I have been tearing my hair out with this (and there werent that many hair left to start with!) and cannot figure why the graphics from the graphic-server component always show with a red border around them. It is not the chart border color itself as I have changed it many times with no effect.

You can see what I mean at http://www.your-diabetes.org/Journal/WeeklyView.aspx

The control itself is wrapped in a simple panel with no color scheme or anything.

Anyone that worked with this component that had the same issue?

Thanks in advance

Unsure

Ukpoker — Mon, 15 May 2006 18:52:00 GMT

what forum to put this in..

I was hoping you might be able to tell me what I’m doing wrong.

I had my site with you guys before, I let it lapse and now I have returned here.

However I can’t get the database to work, It used to work fine before, buy I confess I had the designer load everything for me, also the content seems to spreading out all over the place, Boxes not where they used to be.

Is it possible for a tech to look and see what is wrong?. Also my old database was 2000, now I got the 2005 for free, could this make a difference.
Thanks in advance

Anyone written a good ASP.net URL rewriter that works on hosted site?

Robert — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 05:00:00 GMT

I've put in a request to Re-Invent to add something like LinkFreeze that converts dynamic site content into fixed URLs that improve search engine optimization. If any other non-programmers like me would like that to be an offered service, please do second my vote for such a feature.

That aside -- if they don't add such a feature to the hosting, anyone have an ASP.net app written that can be uploaded to a site and DOES NOT require:

registry of a DLL
install on the server
registering the application in the GAC

For those not clear on URL Rewriter functionality, it basically takes URL of somesite.net/page1.aspx?content=34 and converts it to appear as somesite.net/page1-content-34.asxp (or similar search engine friendly URL)

What's Reinvent's ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 plan after beta 2?

alexrandall2005 — Mon, 23 May 2005 13:35:00 GMT

Hello,

I was just wondering what is Reinvent's ASP.NET 2.0 plan after beta 2? Will you deploy the release version of ASP.NET 2.0 it to all webservers and have it automatically be avalible when it is released?

I am planning a redesign of my own website and I want to take advantage of the new features of ASP.NET 2.0 but not sign up for the beta 2 at this time since I am not ready to begin coding yet.

Also, what is the plan for SQL Server 2005? Will that be avalible as a database option as soon as it's released? I would be interested in that as well as SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Do you plan to support that as well in the future? That would be a nice addition to your great product offering.

I just want to look forward and see what you guys are planning from a service point of view as well as your expected timeframes. Thanks for any info!

Alex Randall
