view images through xml

I am trying to create a slideshow that has some text and an image. I am able to scroll through the xml file and display the text elements. My problem is with the images. Can anyone help? Thanks

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<dogs>
<info>
<name>Archer</name>
<handler>P.O. 1</handler>
<skills>Drugs</skills>
<birthday>4</birthday>
<imagesrc>Images/K9/Dogs/Archer.jpg</imagesrc>
</info>

code:

<xml src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=XML/dogs.xml" id="xmldso" async="false"></xml>

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td style="width:50%;" align="right">
<span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="imagesrc"></span>
</td>
<td style="width:50%;" align="left">
<table style="border: activeborder 1px solid">
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Name:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="name"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Handler:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="handler"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Skills:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="skills"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Birthday:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="birthday"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td width="70"></td><td width="100"></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<A href="http://links.10026.com/?link=JavaScript:moveprevious()"> Back</A>
|
<A href="http://links.10026.com/?link=JavaScript:movenext()"> Next</A>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<INPUT TYPE="text" WIDTH="100" NAME="Number" style="border:0; text-align:center;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function Start()
{
x=xmldso.recordset;
document.Canine.Number.value=x.absoluteposition+" of "+x.recordcount;
// document.getElementById("mypic").src =x.recordset("imagesrc") ;
}

function movenext()
{
x=xmldso.recordset;

if (x.absoluteposition < x.recordcount)
{x.movenext();}
else if (x.absoluteposition = x.recordcount)
{x.movefirst();}

document.Canine.Number.value=eval(x.absoluteposition);
document.Canine.Number.value=x.absoluteposition+" of "+x.recordcount;
}

function moveprevious()
{
x=xmldso.recordset;

if (x.absoluteposition > 1)
{x.moveprevious();}
else if (x.absoluteposition = 1)
{x.movelast();}

document.Canine.Number.value=eval(x.absoluteposition);
document.Canine.Number.value=x.absoluteposition+" of "+x.recordcount;
}

</SCRIPT>

Change this line <span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="imagesrc"></span>

to <img datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="imagesrc" />

use the img html control instead of the span control. I tested this in my local machine and works fine

let us know

I tired that and did not work. When I scroll through the images, all I get the the missing image with the red x where the image should be.

Well, it should work. do you have the following image?

Images/K9/Dogs/Archer.jpg

right click the red icon and see the image path.

Yes, I have the image. I even moved it to the same folder as the xml file in case the path was not accurate.

Chris,

I am using IE 7 and it works fine. Which browser and what version are you using?

Forget my last comment. It did work. I did not properly refresh the xml file. Thanks for your help. It is appreciated.

View PDF in ATLAS?

In my existing 1.1 app, I have a datagrid with a column that, when clicked, displays a pdf file. In trying to convert it to 2.0 with Atlas, the pdf will not display, no error, but no display either. The data for the pdf is stored in SQL as binary data. I have listed the code below. If anyone could shed some light onto the issue, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If dr.Read Then
Dim byData(dr.GetBytes(0, 0, Nothing, 0, Integer.MaxValue) - 1) As Byte
dr.GetBytes(0, 0, byData, 0, byData.Length)
Response.ClearContent()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" & strFileName)
Response.AddHeader("Accept-Header", byData.Length)
Response.ContentType = strContentType
Response.BinaryWrite(byData)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()
End If

Again, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I ended up diong the postback in a different page.

What you will need to do is have a link in your datagrid to another page (ie viewattachment.aspx?filename=filename) and then create a non ajax windows form page called viewattachment.aspx

In the viewattachment.aspx page_load method you can then place your response code as you mentioned above

I have written an example of thishere.

WCF and ASP.NET 3.5 RTM integration on different sites - 404 errors

Hello,

Setup 1:

Project with WCF service in it .svc file has Factory="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebScriptServiceHostFactory", web.config does not include <system.ServiceModel> junk. We've got your standard config-free json service that has been hyped. VS 2008 web dev server url (simplicity sake here):http://localhost:1/service.svc

Seperate Project with ASP.NET application in it. ScriptManager has a service reference to the above svc file at (http://localhost:1/service.svc). Javascript on the page invokes a method in the service. VS 2008 web dev server url (simplicity again):http://localhost:2/webform.aspx

Runtime 1:

JS "proxy class" is successfully downloaded from the service (http://localhost:1/service.svc/jsdebug)

JS Object contructed from the proxy class.

Error on invocation of service method - 404 not found!

Fiddler says proxy class is invoking the service athttp://localhost:2/service.svc/myServiceMethod. Please note the port there, it should behttp://localhost:1 not 2! 2 is the site where the webform is being hosted at.

Config 2:

Move the WCF project onto local IIS 7.0 (Vista).

Update script reference to the service tohttp://[machinename]/serviceVD/service.svc

Runtime 2:

JS "proxy class" is successfully downloaded from the service (http://[machinename]/serviceVD/service.svc/jsdebug)

JS Object contructed from the proxy class.

Error on invocation of service method - 404 not found!

Upon inspection the proxy class is invoking the service athttp://localhost:2/serviceVD/service.svc/myServiceMethod. Please note the port there, it should behttp://[machinename]/serviceVD nothttp://localhost:2! Again the root of the url is being pulled from where the webform is being hosted.

All the references I've seen and have gotten to work include the WCF service in the same project as the webform that is calling them. How do I call remote service on another site or machine?

Not sure if it will help but it hass some good info of Asp.net Ajax with WCF by Dino Esposite

Web File Browser in ASP.NET

Hi Guys,

I'm developing a Web Application using ASP.Net 2.0. I have a requirement that the application

should include a file browser just alike the windows explorer that we have. Is there any free tools

or controls available for that.

thanks in advance............

Yenkay

I did a quick search and foundhttp://www.awsystems.biz/2003/products/FilePicker/. I have never used it on a site myself, but I tried their online demo and it seems to be quite good. It didn't have the treeview part, that the windows explorer has, but adding a TreeView is easy and hopefully you can control the FilePickers current catalog easily, so that shouldn't pose a problem.

Web Hosters

New to using Atlas, I am wanting to know if providers like godaddy.com that supports asp.net 2.0 will work with Atlas? I know the Atlas .dll file is in the bin directory and I also know that I won't be able to register anything on their boxes. Is there anything special I need to look for when looking for someone to host my site?

Jon

You should be able to just xcopy your files to the server and run with medium trust. The only thing that won't work is bridging using the new .asbx extension, but you can usetunneling for that instead.
