Serialize a base class?

Howdy,
A little background, using asp.net 2.0, i'm using a wizard object to create
a email interface for a user to email out their clientele, about 200 or so,
depending on the selection. The first step in the wizard is the email
selection, so it lists all the email accounts and distribution lists the
system has for the user, the user can select lists and/or individuals. I
then read through it all and throw it into an arraylist as a mailaddress
object. The next step in the wizard gives options of whether or not its
displays the selected recipients (including the ones in the lists), format
HTML vs Plain text, BCC the sender, etc. So I loop through all of the
selected emails in my arraylist to display which recipients the user is
emailing to. Here lies my issue.
I need the previously loaded arraylist of selected email addresses to still
be available. The only way i know how to do that is either throw it into a
session variable or the viewstate, both of which requires the class to be
serializable, which MailAddress isn't. I looked into Inheriting and trying
that but I got nowhere fast with that:
<Serializable()> Public Class MailAddress1
Inherits MailAddress
Public Sub New(ByVal email As String, ByVal display As String)
MyBase.New(email, display)
End Sub
End Class
I tried overriding the New sub but it wouldn't let me. So I instead moved
the collecting of email addresses to when the user presses Send. And i do a
lighter collection of the email addresses to a string for displaying their
selected recipients.
SO
I would like to only collect the email addresses once and use the same
arraylist multiple times, on multiple postbacks. Is this possible? I thought
about creating a new class to hold the email address, then transfer them
from my class to the mailaddress class when going to send, but that didnt
make much sens to me to do.
Thanks!!!I think you're stuck with
Create your own Class.
I would write one that had the constructor value needs for the MailAddress
class.
MailAddress (String) Initializes a new instance of the MailAddress
class using the specified address.
MailAddress (String, String) Initializes a new instance of the
MailAddress class using the specified address and display name.
MailAddress (String, String, Encoding)
I'd probably pick the second one.
(Serializable _)
public class MyEMailAddressInfo
property EmailAddress as string
property DisplayName as string
public static (shared in vb.net) GetMailAddress ( e as
MyEMailAddressInfo ) as MailAddress
and then create a collection of these
public class MyEmailAddressInfoCollection : List (Of MyEMailAddressInfo )
( use the inherit keyword instead of the c# ":" of course).
And I'd keep a copy of this object in the Session.
That's what I would do, look for other ideas from others.
Even if that class was serializable, you probably want to keep a "lite"
version of the values (aka the custom collection above) for either Session
or ViewState keeping, because of memory issues.
Keeping around alot of MailAddress objects, just because you need a bunch of
joe@.joes.com values seems non-frugal with the resources
Use the
public static (shared in vb.net) GetMailAddress ( e as MyEMailAddressInfo )
to delay getting those MailAddress objects you need when you actually need
them.

Serve up file from outside web application directory

I come from a ColdFusion background, and CF has the ability (via something
called CFCONTENT) which allows you to serve up a file which resides outside
your web root directory.
How do I accomplish a similar thing using ASP.net 2 (C#)?
Basically, my web app is creating a PDF document and storing it in C:\PDFS
In my app, I want to have a LinkButton which will serve up the PDF (located
in C:\PDFS) to the user.
I DO NOT want to have the PDFs in the web app's directory structure because
you have to log into the app to use it. And I don't want just anyone to be
able to link to the PDF.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
BrianCold Fusion, ha good times there.
In C# you would use something like
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo("c:\\pdfFiles);
FileInfo[] pdfFiles= dir.GetFiles("*.pdf");
foreach(FileInfo f in pdfFiles)
{
Response.Write("<br><a href="http://links.10026.com/?link= + f.Name + ">" + f.Name + "</a>");
}

Rather than using MapPath, just supply the actual directory.

Hi Brian,
This is a piece of cake in ASP.NET since you can utlize the powerful
functionality of .net framework components. As other members have
suggested, you can use the System.IO classes to get binary data from the
external file system (even on remote share folder) and write it out to
page's response stream. e.g.
======================
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
byte[] bytes = null;
string path = @."d:\filestore\pdf_files\test.pdf";
bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(path);
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ContentType= "application\pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;
filename=test.pdf");
Response.Write(bytes);
Response.End();
}
===========
Here is a web article also mentioned this:
#Secure File Download Page
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/S...ileDownload.asp
In addition, you can even get the file content from other storage such as
database, webservice .... It's quite flexible when you use the .net
frameowork classes to deal with the things:)
Hope this also helps.

Server Application Unavailable

Hello

I got a client who uses what appears to be ASP.NET 2.0. I come from a
UNIX/PHP/Apache background, and I'm not too familiar with ASP.NET. He
had some permissions problem a few weeks ago that I managed to fix.
Now, he's getting this error (similar to the one a few weeks ago):

Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web
server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh"
button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this
specific request failure can be found in the application event
log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover
what caused this error to occur.

I'd actually likely be able to figure this out on my own if the
administrator note were correct, but I can't find anything in the event
log about the issue either. Trying to run the application over and over
produces no record of a problem in the event log.

The configuration is Windows 2000, with .NET 2.0 the default ASP.NET
runtime environment. He uses IIS (I'm guessing version 5, but I'm not
even sure where to look).

There were some application events earlier today:

aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or
password supplied in the processModel section of the config file
are invalid.

I see nothing about username/password in the processModel Section of
that file, which appears to be:

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG \machine.config

The process model tag seems to concist of:

<processModel autoConfig="true"/>

Another event:

aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the
failure is 80004005. This error can be caused when the worker
process account has insufficient rights to read the .NET
Framework files. Please ensure that the .NET Framework is
correctly installed and that the ACLs on the installation
directory allow access to the configured account.

I also changed the ASP.NET state service to run on a local system
account instead of some ASPNET account. I'm not even sure what the hell
the ASP.NET state service does, so maybe I shouldn't even have monkeyed
with it.

I'm noticing that a few versions of ASP.NET appear to be installed
concurrently. 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 as far as I can tell.

Any suggestions about to fix this would be greatly appreciated, or even
URLs in the right direction.

Thank you!Hello Bolwerk,

Look at the user that is configured in the application pool. You can find
the application pool in the properties of the website and/or virtual directory
that contains the site you're trying to get to run. Then in the Applications
tree look at the properties of that specific Application Pool. One of the
settings is the username to run it under. That user must have permissions
on quite a few folders to get things to work.

1) Read/Execute on the framework directory (c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\%Version%)
2) Read/write rights in the ASP.NET Temporary Files under the framework directory
3) Read/write rights in the system temp directory (default under c:\windows\temp)
4) Read/Exeute permissions on the folder containing the website
5) maybe even more, but this is all I can think of for now...

Hey, thanks for the response, but I don't see anything about an
application pool. Is that an IIS 6.x feature? I think I have IIS 5
here. :|

Yes, it is.

Indeed, you do, since you're running Windows 2000.

Thank you.

Sadly, I don't think that was the problem either. I'm getting more
stumped. I think I can eliminate permission problems (they seem too
liberal, actually).

I looked over
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/li...11e(vs.80).aspx and
compared to my configuration don't really see any problems.

I take it this "application pool" problem is irrelevant to my situation,
since I have IIS 5.x, not 6.x.
First, thanks again for the help. I must seem like a complete newb
today. :-D

I'm not clear what impersonation is.

I can tell you the web.config file in the ASP.NET tab in the web server
points to C:\Inetpub\[www directory]\web.config as the "file location"
(I'm guessing for the server config). The file didn't exist, although a
file called "Web.config TEST" did. I cut and pasted this file as
web.config and tried the application again. No luck. :|

In the web config file under the framework in the WINNT directory, I have:

<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>

Still get the same error though:

Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web
server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh"
button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this
specific request failure can be found in the application event
log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover
what caused this error to occur.

Like I said before, doesn't appear to be a permission problem. Also
appears I have IIS 5.0, so it's not a application pool problem (from my
understanding of how IIS is configured).

Like I said before, doesn't appear to be a permission problem. Also
appears I have IIS 5.0, so it's not a application pool problem (from my
understanding of how IIS is configured).

What Framework are you using?

I know sometimes this works C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework
\CorrectVersionHere\aspnet_regiis -i

This is pretty harmless to run and it refreshes IIS mappings/
permissions that may have been mucked with. Make sure you go through
the correct version subdirectory though...
