I created a config with the location of my xml file: <add key="positionXML" value = "C:temp\PositionMsg.xml" /> When I try to load the xml file into my C# code, I am doing the following: XmlDocument objDoc=new XmlDocument(); objDoc.LoadXml(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["positionXML"]); What should I do to load the XML file and get the data elements in the XML? TIA.

The file is on a shareable folder of a server. What is the best way to launch it?

They are trying to access the same file that the app downloads locally onto their local machine. This is scenario may help: 1.) One User opens xls file on local machine. 2.) Another user clicks button on application to open same xls file - App downloads xls file to local temporary files folder of local machine 3.) App does not load file because of this error "fiel is used by another process" - This occurs when I try to WriteFile()

I have a web app that I download file via the browser using this code: Response.Clear(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.Name); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", file.Length.ToString()); Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"; Response.Flush(); Response.WriteFile(file.FullName); Response.End(); This works fine when the file is not opened by someone; otherwise, if a user has the file open on his machine, the web app will not launch the writefile function stating "file is used by another process". Is there a way to launch the file in read-only even though the file is already launched on a local client pc? TIA.

Upon clicking a button, I would like to launch a shortcut file that is pointing to an Excel xls sheet.

I have a shortcut pointing to an xls file. In my C# application, I need to launch the shortcut with Excel. I am currently doing this: string full_path = path; FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(full_path); try { if (file.Exists) { Response.Clear(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.Name); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", file.Length.ToString()); Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"; Response.Flush(); Response.WriteFile(file.FullName); Response.End(); } } This fails because the shortcut fails on the file.Exists function. How should I launch the shortcut with Excel? TIA.

I use a user id and password in my web.config. I do not want the password to be plain text, and would like to encrypt it. I know you can use the ASP.NET_setreg encryption exe to encrypt it in the registry. However, is there a way to input the username and password in my C# .cs file and apss this into the web.config? TIA.

Ah ha! My app wasn't working correctly because it could not find a network path. Thanks for your help!

I have it pointed to 1.1.4322, but it still doesn't work. It is very odd.

Yes, I have .NET 1.1 installed. However, I am still having the same issues. Any ideas? TIA.

The web server currently has .NET 2.0. I created my project with .NET 2003 so I need .NET 1.1. I assumed that 2.0 would have everything. Do I need to remove 2.0 first, then install 1.1 and reinstall 2.0?

I have a ASP.NET web application written in C#. THe events (buttons, dropdown) worked when I had my machine as the webhost; however, when I deployed the web app to the web server, none of the events are working. My dropdown list is not being populated nor are my buttons working. When I try to click a button, I get this in the URL: http://webserver.page.aspx?__EVENTTARGET=&__EVENTARGUMENT=&__LASTFOCUS=&__VIEWSTATE=%2FwEPDwUKLTc3MzM4NTUwNQ9kFgICAQ9kFgQCAQ8QZA8WAWYWARBlZWcWAWZkAgQPEGQPFgFmFgEQZWVnFgFmZBgBBR5fX0NvbnRyb2xzUmVxdWlyZVBvc3RCYWNrS2V5X18WAQUMSW1hZ2VCdXR0b24x&DropDownList1=&DropDownList2=&Button1=Approved+Master+Bond+List&__EVENTVALIDATION=%2FwEWCALtgbbgCwKd5I%2FlCgKd5I%2FlCgK7q7GGCAKe5I%2FlCgKe5I%2FlCgKM54rGBgLSwpnTCA%3D%3D Any thoughts? TIA.

I have an ASP.NET web app using C# as the language and am acquiring all the xls files in the list of subdirectories under the main root directory. My problem is I need to go to a server share where I need to pass in user authentication. I need to give the username, password, and domain before I go to the directory. How should I pass in my login information for the directory?

I was trying to avoid putting in the blank entry, but I'll do it. Thanks!!!

I have a web app that opens the appropriate application based on the file extension using Response.ContentType. When I open an xls file, I would like the file to be opened in read-only permissions with Excel. How would I do this? Here is my existing code: switch (file.Extension) { case ".pdf": Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; break; case ".htm": case ".html": Response.ContentType = "text/html"; break; case ".txt": Response.ContentType = "text/plain"; break; case ".doc": Response.ContentType = "application/msword"; break; case ".xls": case ".csv": Response.ContentType = "application/xls"; break; default: Response.ContentType = "application/unknown"; break; } Response.Flush(); Response.WriteFile(file.FullName); Response.End(); TIA.
