ASP.NET MVC: Tracking Page Views And View Duration?
Jul 26, 2010
I have an application I'm currently working on that requires Administrators to be able to track the views of a ticket and it's duration.I've got the tracking of the number of views by users sorted out, I have a table that contains a TicketID, UserID and a DateOpened. Each time a user visits the page, a new row will be inserted.However, the way I would like to track the duration of views is by having a DateClosed field in the table which will allow me to work out view duration in the code as opposed to storing the time directly.
I can't use Google Analytics or anything Third Party for the task either due to internal policy as it's an intranet application.What would be the best way to achieve filling this field on page exit?
When and why would it be a good choice to keep the view of two different sets of information on the same page, and just change what's visible depending on different parameters?For example, an application I'm working on has three levels of users: Admin, Director and Project Manager. We have a Managers.aspx page which follows this flow of control:
If user is admin, load gridview list of directors with several simple CRUD-like properties. This includes a link for each director that, when clicked, will load a new gridview with several properties of all of the Project Managers belonging to the selected director.If user is director, load straight to the list of Project Managers that belong to this director, in the exact fashion as described in the second half of the "if user is admin" clause".This is all done on one Managers.aspx page. Why? What advantage does this hold? When else might this type of situation arise? Personally, this seems like a job for two separate pages. One listing the directors, and another listing the Project Managers.
So i've been working on a page for a project where the person logs into a login page and then can see a list from the database of employees. everything is working except for one problem. If someone puts in a username and password, username= a and password=b, for example it still allows that individual to view the next page and doesn't throw the error that i have enbedded on the login page to say sorry you have the incorrect password/username. The working code that i have so far is below:
I have more than 30,000 rows in a table. It takes a lot of time to load all the data in the gridview. So I want to display 100 rows at a time. When I click next page button, another 100 rows should be displayed. When I click previous page button, previous 100 rows should be displayed. If I type page 5 in a text box, then I want to jump over to the 5th lot of rows.
I also want to display how many pages there will be. Can we implement this concept in vb.net [winform] gridview. I am using database PostgreSQL.

I am just making the switch from WebForms to MVC and would like to ask what are the best ways of hiding particular fields in the view. Assuming we have a model named WishList that has a list of gifts kids want for Christmas and the child's name. We want the elves to view the list of gifts, but only Santa Claus can view the child's name. Would it be best to have two views for the WishList (one for Santa and one for the elves) or is there another way to handle this? My concern is that the number of views can start piling as high as the snow does in the North Pole by the time I enforce all of the visibility settings required in my application.
Under Options/HTML Designer/General There is the option of starting pages in either Source View or Design view. I'm now doing Windows Forms and when I open a vb page it is usually to do something to the code. I would like the page tp open in Source View but cant find a similar option for Windows Form Designer.
I have an ASP.NET MVC 2 project that renders conventional strongly typed pages, but on some of these pages I also want to use the page's object to render a specific area (div) in the navigation section of the Master Page.
For example, if I have a Client object and associated strongly typed View, I want the View to be able to insert client-specific navigation items within a div in the Master Page's navigation.
I've actually achieved this in a not very elegant fashion by creating a ViewData item to hold the Client object - this is in addition to returning the client object with the View. The Master Page then takes the ViewData object and, if it's not null, renders the client-specific navigation section. This way of doing things will get very ugly as the number of different objects that have to be handled increases.
i have a button that grabs a text file depending on what the user types in a text box.And then it loads the text file and makes an HTML report on an external browser. Thats all good.But i want another button under that button that does exatly the same thing but it displays the html in a form using Web Browser for vb.net. 2008 version by the way. so i have two buttons, depending on what the user pushes. same html is produced, but one is in external browser while the other is in form.Here is code i used for first button
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim sFilename As String sFilename = ("E:\RMIT WORK\Testing\" & txtOfficeID.Text & ".txt") If Not File.Exists(sFilename) Then

I am using the ASP.NET MVC VB.NET XML Literals View Engine created by Dmitry Robsman and described on his blog in this post.
[URL]
I would like to create strongly typed view pages using this view engine, but it doesn't seem to contain the requisite VbView(Of TModel) generic type by which I would create such a view class.
The end result should look something like this:
Namespace Views.Client Public Class Details(Of Models.Client) Inherits SiteMaster
[Code]....
Once there is a VbView(Of TModel) class that inherits from Dmitry's VbView class, how to hook that up so that it works with standard MVC controllers that call the view like this.
Function Details(ByVal id As Integer) As ActionResult Dim c = SomeGetClientFunction(id) Return View(c) End Function
Like in firefox or Internet Explorer where you can right click and view the html page source how can you do this in an app?I have a web browser in the form and I'm trying to view the web page in the web browser and then view the source code of that page in a box below it.
I know i can run webforms and mvc views in seperate files, but i want to run the web server control output and events in/on the mvc view page, however, i keep getting this compiler error:
Line 38: <CuteWebUI:Uploader ID="UploadPic" runat="server" UploadType="IFrame" Line 39: FileTooLargeMsg="{0} cannot be uploaded! File size ({1}) is too large. The maximum file size allowed is set to: {2}." Line 40: TempDirectory="~/UserData/Images/TemporaryImages" UploadingMsg="Uploading..."
[code]....
i don't know what else do do, it just wont recognize the control name when im writing the event signature, right after the "handles" keyword, comes the server control name and then a dot, and then the event name, but as events its just giving me "Me", "MyBase" and "MyClass" options to run events for... doesn't let me access "FileUpload.OnFileUploaded" which is the control name & event name i want to write the sub routine method declaration (and subsequently method) and signature for.
I use a GridView control with paging allowed, when i select a row in the first page i can retrieve the values of all the fields including the hiddenfields with the instruction (GridView1.DataKeys(GridView.SelectedIndex).Values(0)). The grid have all the DataKeyNames and I populate the gridwith a dataset i made coding.now the problem:when I change the paging of the grid the grid shows me the real data, but when I tried to select one row
I have written an application which extracts a list of URL's (currently in Internet Explorer cache) from an XML file and displays them in a data grid view. From here i would like to launch Internet Explorer in a hidden mode and capture an image for each of the selected URL's in the data grid view. Is this possbile? If so what is the best way to go about it?

After creating a multi-table SQL View in a dataset and trying to configure it, the vizard refuses to create UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE statements or Update method. Does that mean that Views altered by VB code cannot be written back into the database? I am having trouble finding good basic information about SQL Views handled from VB.
I'm doing a VB.Net subject at university and the major assignment is the creation of a WPF application.The application is management-focused (adding, modifying, deleting entries, etc). As these are all rather disparate tasks I'm thinking to create a tabbed interface for my assignment (in a similar vein to [URL]...
I'm a bit confused as to how I should go around approaching this? Btw, would this classify as MDI?We were recommended to create a menu system that listed all the options - upon selecting an option, a new window would be opened, the interaction would take place. If the user wanted to do something else, he'll close the window to be taken back to the menu screen.
This doesn't really seem like an elegant approach to me and it seems like it'll be an interesting exercise to implement the tab-based system I explained.I'd appreciate if anyone could point me in the right directions or give any hints as to how I should achieve. Is it possible, for example, to create each option in a separate xaml/code-behind file and then 'plug' these into each tab?edit: To clarify, let's take a hypothetical of an indoor soccer team management system. Let's say there are five different tasks the user can perform: 'Register a player', 'Modify players', 'Register a team', 'Modify team details', 'Add player to team'.
Each task is separate from the next. One way of creating the application is to create a main page with a button for each task. When a user click on each button, a new window opens up (for example, if the user clicks 'Register a player', a new PlayerRegistration window is opened).
What I'm looking for, as mentioned above, is a tab-based approach. In my application, if the user clicks 'Register a player' the entire PlayerRegistration xaml file gets loaded in a segment of the window. The same happens when the user clicks any other button.
I want to compare rows of two grid views.GW1 and GW2.When I click a Search Button ,I want to check the Values in the GW2,and if GW1 and GW2 have same PayID ,EmpID,then that specific row of GW1 must be disabled.
I've been wondering what a good solution is for displaying multiple forms all within the same form. I am fairly new to .net, so I might be asking a typical newbie question here, but I was wondering how one deals with having to show many forms all in one parent form. For example, I have a signup form where there is a Next button that shows, say, up to 10 'pages'. In VB6, I simply made a collection of pictureboxes as containers. At runtime, I'd set each picturebox on top of the other then set the requested picturebox's zorder to 0 when it was needed to be shown. Many pictureboxes became a bit obtrusive taking up most of the visual area of the form in design mode so I then started putting them in a tabstrip control then making the tabstrip very tiny and out-of-the-way and then setting it's visible property to false so that it wouldn't be seen at runtime. On the form's load event, I'd simply parent all of the pictureboxes (usint SetParent) to the main form and then use the zorder teqnique as usual. Lame, I know.In VB.net, I've tried just making many forms and then parenting them when needed, but I get an error that a top-level control can't be parented/added to another top-level control. I haven't tried the SetParent API technique yet because I'm sure that there is a common, simpler solution that you experts use.
I've been working on this problem for a while and I'm clearly missing something...I create, populate and bind an observable collection like so:
Dim _ObservableWEI As New ObservableWEI ... _ObservableWEI.Add(New WEI() With {.WEInum = 1, .WEIvalue = 1})[code].....
The problem is the filter effects the contents of both listboxes. I guess I need a specific instance of the collection to apply the filter too or something
I have a ListView capable of displaying files in all available views (Large Icon, Small Icon, Tile, List, Details). Now I am wondering how to properly use the SmallImagelist and LargeImagelist for the small and large icons...the ListView is actually a modified listview (inheriting from ListView), using a modified ListViewItemCollection.In this custom ListViewItemCollection I use the Add override function to add a few details to my ListViewItem:
vb.net Public Overrides Function Add(ByVal value As System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem) As System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem Dim file As clsTexture = TryCast(value, clsTexture) If file IsNot Nothing Then
[Code]...
I realize it is a pretty complex post to read and will probably not get very many answers, but I really want to make the most of my Listviews...Of course, one work around is to just always use the LargeIcon which then gets scaled down automatically when the SmallImagelist is used but I am pretty sure there are icons that are very different in Large or Small view...
When ASP .NET hits the RenderPartial("Openings") line, an exception is thrown ("Could not load type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl(of IEnumerable(of OpenSpace))'.") even though the view exists and the proper model is being passed in. The views are all inside the View folder and in this case, they're even in the same subdirectory.[code]
My SQL Server database contains several views which are essentially filtered (WHERE) / ordered (ORDER BY) versions of some of the tables i.e. no joins.
An example would be my Downloads table, which has a view such as DownloadsOnlineOnly e.g.
SELECT * FROM Downloads WHERE Live = 1 ORDER BY FolderName ASC;
I can drag and drop these views onto my LINQ to SQL DataContext, and use LINQ to query these views and retrieve data fine...
But the foreign key relationships are not being picked up in my DataContext, so I've lost the ability to:
Dim dl as DownloadOnlineOnly = (From r in db.DownloadOnlineOnlies Select r).First
Dim fol as Folder = dl.Folder ' Syntax error as there is no association between
' DownloadOnlineOnly and Folder in my DataContext.
I understand why this is happening, but how can I get around this:
Without manually adding associations in my DataContext? Can I change the type of the Entity like changing the return type of an SP on the DataContext? Can I cast or convert between a DownloadOnlineOnly object and Download object? Or some other method?
I have used list views for a project. I have used sum items on the items. The sub items are prices of products. I will need to use these sub items to come up with a total.Also, i have used to listviews, for a smoother look and feel. You click the product which then is removed from the list view and added to the second one. Would this also "move" the sub item across to the other list view?
