Asp.net - Incorporating A Knowledge Base / Blog For Q & A On An Engineering Website?
Mar 13, 2012
I have an engineering firm and our website was built using Visual Studio 2010 / asp.net 4.0 / VB. Recently, a client (GM) requested that we have a knowledge base where they can input their questions, and we can answer 'em. Kind of like a FAQ, or a Lessons Learned type of thing. But it'll require that they'll be able to log in and ask their own questions.
For instance: Q: How would I incorporate multiple machine vision systems into a bead detection application?A: You would need to use a software such as PPT and have multiple fixtures in order to assimilate the cameras accordingly.
I'm terrible at databases; I can basically run an SQL query, and that's about it! lol. And I'm not a programmer by trade. Can I do this without a database? Can anyone guide me in the right direction here? I mean, is there something out there that's open-source, or at least something that's easy to implement?
I am new bee in Visual basic and coding stuff. I am planning to create a knowledge base for my company. Can someone suggest me how to proceed. I have some ideas of creating it but really don't know how to move on.I already have some word files and pdf files where I have some troubleshooting steps and solutions, so i would like to create a search engine which searches the exact word file or a pdf file to show the result.
To make it simple just like google search engine. If I type something like "How to configure a network printer?" I should get the result of the word document or pdf file which has printer configuration steps.
I am trying to Interact with VB API to Pro/Engineering.I got some information that we can add Reference Pro/E dll using Add Reference -> COM then we can use it.But I have issuse that how to get current session which is already runing in my machine? how it will find object of Pro/E (like one shape already created)?
I'm using this link in my webbrowser: url...And I'm prompted for my Army username and password. It works and the page begins to load (showing a loading bar across the screen) as it's almost finished, a window pops up saying this:"Couldn't load config value for the policy file url; values are: , connectionType:http, password:, server:akoim.us.army.mil, autoLogin:false, red:1, location:, blue:1, green:1, username:".And then it asks me to log in again.how I can successfully complete this? The URL is for the AKO instant message service and I'd liek to integrate it into my program,
I am doing reverse engineering of a web application developed in VB.NET 2003.I have reverse engineered one of its dll using a tool names "Reflector".This tool provided the output in terms of a Visual Studio Project. When I rebuild this project then it gives the following error "Project-level conditional compilation constant 'DEBUG;TRACE : CONFIG="Debug" : DEBUG=-1 : TRACE=-1 ' is not valid: Character is not valid."
I have made a very small (only one form and no database operations) but nifty application and I want many people to be able to use it. My question is: As I only need a very small part of the dotnet framework, is there a way to let the compiler (or so) grab only the parts it needs for the .exe/.msi file, so that users don't have to install the entire 3.5 framework just to run my tiny little app?
I am writing a search engine whose purpose it is to search all kind of blogs for specific kinds of content.I'm particularly focusing on these blogs engines:
Blogger LiveJournal MySpace Open Diary
[code]....
Is there any way I can use google to find links that are from a specific type of engine, like for example wordpress?
I would like to either generate VB Code from UML or vice versa UML from Code. Does anyone know some UML tools for VB6 or VB.Net that can do this?Is it possible with Visual Studio 2010?
Well this is a re-post now as nobody replied in the gaming section, and i believe this question could go as a normal VB question, therefore I'm asking in this category instead.I have decided to pick up on programming and want to make a text based RPG Game i will "upgrade" as my programming knowledge grows.I got some ideas that i think i should use, but i want you guys' opinions on it.I assume I'll use different classes for each monster, which will have properties.Should those monsters then be inside a list of all possible monsters, or would i have a monster class which i would use and generate the enemies when needed? And would i use the same approach on items and character stats?
I'm working on a windows forms application and would like to incorporate a feature that would allow me to pull the video stream from a networked DVR source. I have an existing desktop program that I may be able to use to snoop out some of the protocols used, but I have absolutely no idea where to look for a library or api to actually display the video.
Has anyone successfully done this? (Connected to a remote DVR, played realtime video in their own application)
I am trying to make a program that will update my blog.I need it to add to the top of the existing file.thats all. One Textbox, One Button.Im stumped though.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim sFileText As String
I have a blog (non wordpress or anything) written in vb.net. At the moment I pull my data back just by bringing in the last 10 results: SELECT TOP (@bAmount) bCategory, bID, bImageURL, bInactive, bLargeImage, bPost, bPostDate, bPostTitle, bPoster, bStyle FROM Blog ORDER BY bID DESC
I'm just going to have back and forward buttons to go through the posts, but how do I do the SQL for say post 10-20 last posts rather than the IDs between the posts. (The IDs are incrimental, but can jump significantly).
So basically when I click back it gives me 10 posts that are 10 older than the first page results?
I've made a Function that will be called at the point a dataset is generated on pageLoad. The function is doing two things:
Processing the blog article and detecting any URLS in the post then converting those URLS into clickable hyperlinksCoverts all carriage returns into <BR /> tags. Although it does processes the complete article as required, including detecting all of the links, it seems that the loop to process used to detect the links ONLY detects the very first link it comes accross and every other subsequent link becomes that first link found. Clearly that isn't the desired outcome, maybo you guys can let me know how to correct this issue?
I think the problem arose because of Windows 7, but when I was at school the program worked. The program fills in the text boxes with information from Microsoft Access. However, my laptop has Windows 7, and when debugged, the information doesn't fill in the text boxes like before. Also, for added information, the school's computers run with Windows XP.
I am getting following error when I am trying to use Convert.FromBase64String "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or a non-white space character among the padding characters."
Dim payloadBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(payloadBase64)
Basically when my facebook registration form [URL]mphone field has a dash in it and encoded string is posted to other page and I am trying to decode it there which creates this error. Basically I am trying to extract data from Facebook Signed Request.
I need blog software for IIS7 and a SQL Server 2008 backend. I don't know if this is required, but the application (website) I'm hosting is in asp.net (vb.net). I checked out das blog, and graffiticms and they're very old.
I'm working on a WYSIWYG Blog Editor, I'm having an issue with my text selection. I've added a couple of graphics to illustrate. My code is selecting the text and putting it back into the textbox, but it's adding extra text. I can't quite figure out how to get it to select the intended text and manipulate it correctly (make it Bold or Italic and so on,) and then show the text in the two windows (one is the Textbox and the other is a webtext box) correctly.
Below is my code and my 2 graphics.
Public Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click boldstart = "[ b ]" 'variables to hold formatting boldend = "[ /b ]" wboldstart = "<b>" wboldend = "</b>" clearrtf = ""
[CODE]............
Every thing works up to the point when I try to manipulate the text, it then puts more text in. I have been trying to find info on how to clear the text box and then re-insert the text with the text formatting. Side note in my graphics is a small graphic that is just there as a marker for me, it has no affect on the actual program.
I'm looking for a walkthrough to help me design/develope a simple Blog that has the following parameters:Logon Screen Authentication Membership --> Email Lost Password.Simple Treeview like structure Topic-> Multiple Posts (2) levels deep only Historic calendar in right banner or someplace.Search Feature By (Topic, Username, Entry Date...etc)Does anybody know where I can find guidance otherwise left to my own devices this could take me a while, be nice to have at least a solid starting point in the correct direction.
I can quickly knock together soem code to xlate base 10 to/from bae 13, but I just wondered if something very easy already exists in VB.NET (or even somethign generic, with base N, but right now I am only looking at base 13)
I am looking for a free utility or way to protect my software by requiring a Product ID (Which will be created when a customer requests a paid license) to use the application after a demo version. Like most shareware apps.
What Im making is like a face book and tagged login from my app
1. I have Combobox with 3 urls in there ( Facebook.com Tagged.com and Bebo.com ) 2. I have a Form2 with webbrowser 3. I have a Button when clicked it should open up my form 2 and preview of the website which I selected in my combobox in form1
All I'm trying to do is when I select lets say facebook in my form 1 and click load it should open up my form 2 with facebook website in it.[code]Now when I click my button in form 1 it will load Form2 ( named Explorer1) but my form2 is not showing me facebook or tagged page for some reason
i'm creating a website that allows people to upload images to the website in a folder called images on the Site. But I don't know how to upload a file and I'v searched everywhere Please Note: In this Website were not Using the asp:fileupload, were developing our own interface
What I want is: To scan a website every 15 mins or so, (craigslist in this case), and email myself any new posts that come up. I know I need to use WebClient, but I never used that before. Another question would be how to only email when a new post is up and not receive the same email every 15 mins.
I have a ASP.NET 2.0 website created in C# that acts as a completely independent site and I am looking to integrate this into an existing ASP.NET 2.0 website created in VB.NET. Unfortunately I just don't know much about the server management side of ASP.NET yet so too much I'm unaware of when it comes to IIS configuration etc. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can go about integrating this? Basically I want to host it in a subdirectory from root so when you hit example.com/myindependantsite/ it will pull up my C# site.
One possible solution I came across mentioned just dropping the project folder into the root directory and setting up that directory as an application virtual directory in IIS? A few other random questions were small things like would my application relative links (~/for-example.aspx) stay relative to my root subdirectory if it's made into an application virtual directory? Just trying to get this running on their site but like I said it's completely independent so want to preserve my websites environment.
