C# - Get The Host Out Of The Request Object?
Aug 3, 2009
I need to get the host out of the Request object. Which property should I use and why?
From MSDN:Uri.DnsSafeHost Property A String that contains the unescaped host part of the URI that is suitable for DNS resolution; or the original unescaped host string, if it is already suitable for resolution.
vs
Uri.Host Property A String that contains the host name. This is usually the DNS host name or IP address of the server.
My testing has been with the ASP.NET Development Server. Both of these always return localhost. Even when I put in 127.0.0.1, both return localhost.Reading on, the DnsSafeHost property will handle IPv6 addresses, as well as Unicode to ASCII conversion if needed. It can also account for IRI and IDN. Even though I currently don't care about these things, should I just use the DnsSafeHost property to be safe?

I have an application that creates desktop shortcuts. To do this I have to reference the Windows Script Host Object Model. When I add it as a reference, it always creates the DLL, Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll, in the objx86Debug directory, then references itself to it, rather than looking at wshom.ocx. Even if I add reference wshom.ocx it reverts to saving the file in the objx86Debug directory. The problem is if I move my application to another computer without that DLL being present, the program fails to run.

I have a question specifically about getting the current cookies set to a particular visitor on an ASP.NET webpage. I understand you need to use Request.Cookies - and by default it returns a collection of all cookies set, as an HTTPCookieCollection. However, the MSDN documentation states that you do: Request.Cookies("Username") as an example, in order to fetch an individual cookie and then compare whether it is set, etc. All fine and dandy but why adding parentheses and a string does the type suddenly change to
HTTPCookie.
I understand HTTPCookie is for dealing with individual cookies and HTTPCookieCollection is for dealing with multiple cookies at a time for like iteration purposes, etc., but I don't understand when on the MSDN documentation it explicitly states that the Request.Cookies property (the Cookies property) is of type HTTPCookieCollection, and if you do what I explained it changes the type (I can see this from IntelliSense) and it does not state this happens in the MSDN documentation. I'm not asking about the MSDN documentation lol, but why this happens when adding the parentheses and a string denoting the cookie name. I'm still pretty new to Visual Basic. By the way, I'm doing this all in Visual Web Developer although using VB as the language of choice.

I have a need for a button to take the user back to their previous page.Because of how this page is accessed, the only way to do this is with javascript using history.back()
This part works perfectly apart from the fact when a user goes to click a button on the page they have gone to back to, I get the error that Request.QueryString is not supported in this context.I'm guessing the Request object is lost when javascript is directing the user to the previous page.I cannot use Request.UrlReffer either because the the nature of the back button. (it causes a loop at times).

I have recently started using Request("key") instead of Request.QueryString("key") to access my querystring values. However I have read that:
'Gets the specified object from the System.Web.HttpRequest.Cookies, System.Web.HttpRequest.Form, System.Web.HttpRequest.QueryString, System.Web.HttpRequest.ServerVariables'
Therefore, if I have a querystring key and cookie key which are the same, which value is returned?

My Request.Form keys are all prefixed with ctl00$container name$ and then the key I want.How can I get the regular key name working?
Visual example from the immediate window:I want to use:
? request.Form.Item("stationIdea")
but it won't work because the key is:
ctl00$content_innovation_body$stationIdea
as retrieved by
? request.Form.Keys("4")
so only this works:
? request.Form("ctl00$content_innovation_body$stationIdea")

In my ignorance, I thought I could subscribe to any host, so I chose hostmonster, and copy files from Visual Web Developer to it, thereby creating my first website. Wrong! Hostmonster is linux-based, so the files won't copy without assigning an index page at the site. The rep at the host said that linux doesn't read the language(s) I've been using to develop pages, Visual Basic and C#.

How can I set a host IP address and port.. and then detect if the port is open (accepting connections)or closed (denying connections)I came across this while searching, but it doesn't seem to function all that well..Using the port 80 and the host [URL] The result it gave me was closed... which is obviously wrong.So what can I do?Code: ( I have also imported "System.Net" and "System.Net.Sockets" )
Dim host As String = "www.google.com"
Dim port As Integer = 80
Dim addr As IPAddress = CType(Dns.GetHostAddresses(host)(0), IPAddress)

I've been trying for a long time to do what seems to be the most simplest of things..I have a remote host and I need to know if certain posts on that host are open or closed.Many examples on the net that I have found arent complete, and because I havent worked with VB.net for long I dont knowhow to complete them.Here is my code:: The issue is with this it tell me the target port is always closed, when I know that it is open.Code:Dim host As String = "www.google.com" Dim port As Integer = 80 Dim addr As IPAddress =CType(Dns.GetHostAddresses(host)(0), IPAddress) Try Dim tcpList As New TcpListener(addr, port)tcpList.Start() Catch sx As SocketException MessageBox.Show("port is closed") End TryA friend of mine suggested using WinSock.. I've not dealt with it before so I don't know what he's on about.

I've never tried accessing a database on a remote computer, across the internet. A few questions though.
1) Do I just change the connection string address from a local path to a web address?
2) Do I still need to install the local driver? In my case I believe I'll be using Connector/Net to connect to my MySQL database url...

I'm trying to show a small DataGridView in my ContextMenuStrip that I have built. The DataGridView will show a unique list of values in a DataGridViewTextboxColumn "Sample ID" when its column header is right-clicked. I can get the unique values just fine, but I'm having trouble displaying the small DataGridView in the ContextMenuStrip. It currently looks like this.Notice, there is no data in the DataGridView. I have confirmed that the DataGridView.DataSource has several rows in it, yet the DataGridView shows nothing. Plus, I need to increase the size of my DataGridView, thus increasing the size of the ContextMenuStrip to show the DataGridView.
