# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Awesome. Thanks.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Michael, I thank you also for the library. For me it was never a problem to wait for the source code...

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Michael, thanks. Not to be a nag, but what are your thoughts on a documentation project?

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Dan, what do you mean with "documentation project"?

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Thanks a lot. The library is great.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Michael, from me also a big "Thank you!!!". We are very happy to use your library.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

I can only say "Thank you Michael Schwartz!!!". I am using it in a lot of web projects (Intranet applications only). The performance increases by factor 20 or more. Go on with the development and help Microsoft to build the ATLAS Framework be the next Ajax.NET library!!!

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Micheal, thank you very much.
You said that you fixed bug Server.Transfer use RegisterTypeForAjax with the argument this, but in my test, there was still an error:
Specified cast is not valid. Trace: at Ajax.Utility.RegisterTypeForAjax(Type t) at Test.Test.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
Any suggestion? Thank a lots

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Quang,

can you please send me the source code that will register the type? Please use my contact form to contact me.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi,
Here my scenario: from your example CsharpSample, I add one class called MyHttpHandler which implememt IhttpHandler. In which it simple transfer to the page default.aspx. In the web.config, add one hander for the request from tab.aspx.
If you input the address http://localhost/CSharpSample/tab.aspx, you will see the error

I realize that if I use the command context.Response.Redirect in the MyHttpHandler, it’s ok.

The file MyHttpHandler here:

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Handlers;

namespace CSharpSample
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for MyHttpHander.
/// </summary>
public class MyHttpHandler : IHttpHandler
{
#region IHttpHandler Members

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
context.Server.Transfer("default.aspx");
}

public bool IsReusable
{
get
{
return true;
}
}

#endregion
}
}

The web.config here:

<configuration>
...
<system.web>

<httpHandlers>
<add verb="POST,GET" path="csharpwrapper/*.ashx" type="Ajax.PageHandlerFactory, Ajax" />
<add verb="*" path="tab.aspx" type="CSharpSample.MyHttpHandler, CSharpSample" />
</httpHandlers>
...
</system.web>
</configuration>

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Have you tested your assembly with asp.net 2.0? Beta 2?

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Michael,

thank you for the library. I would love to read the documentation that you come up with and am looking to download/read it.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Thank for your reply,
But I still have problem: I changed your sample, anbd it's running well, but in my project, I put an ajax function to the UserControl, so it can be convert from System.Web.UI.UserControl to System.Web.UI.Page. Can you give me the solution? Thank you

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Quang,

you have to use Ajax.Utility.RegisterTypeForAjax(typeof(CSharpSample.DemoMethods),this.Page);.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Too bad SediSys.com is just in german.. :-(
and too bad SF.net closed the project

Hope to see more docs and forum in the near future

Simone

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Just 2 things :
1. I am waiting for source code but, as Simone, I am sad I will probably be unable to download it as I don't speak a word of German.
2. The implementation of your dataset converter transforms Columns array into a set of object properties. This hardly limits the use of your library in generic environments.

Anyway it 's a cool library, thanks for the good job.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi to all, I did not talk to SediSys, but I will say that they will offer an english web page where you can download the source code and the latest releases, of course.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

A big unanswered question remains:

Will it remain Opensource _and_ free? for commercial use also?

Its hard to put in use until

:-)

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Could something like this be made in asp.net / ajax.net ?

http://php5.bluga.net/progressDemo/demo.php

That could be a great example.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

@Anders: Yes, it will be Open Source!!!! ...you can download the source code! Please contact chubinger [at] sedisys.com how will be resposible for the Open Source Project.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Thanks Michael! The Server.Transfer bug is fixed, so I'm more than happy :) Thanks for this amazing library.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Any reason why the assembly is no longer strong-named? I can no longer reference it from my own strong-named assembly.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Michael Schwarz >

And will it also stay free for commercial use also?

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

@Anders: I have send SediSys the same questions, they will give an answer here in the feedback.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi!

At the moment the License is still in discussion internaly.
I can only gurantee that it will be an OSI compatible Open Source license and that there will be a possibility for commercial use.

Please stay patience, all that questions will be answered as soon as we release the code. Wich will hopefully happen within the next few days.

greetings,
chris

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Michael, can you clarify the role that you and sedisys.com respectively will be playing in this project? At first, sedisys appeared to be simply hosting, but as questions about the license arise, it seems that they will be owning the project going forward. I think a lot of us would like to see a posting about this on the main page.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Chris, from your comments (OSI compatible) can we assume that it will also comply with the OSI Open Source Definition (OSD) found at the link below?

http://opensource.org/docs/def_print.php

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi!

1.) We will act as the project owners and will coordinate the development process. We will also have some fulltime developers working on the library to enshure fast and continious development.

2.) Yes, the license will follow the rules on the link you posted.
The exact license terms will be published along with the source code as soon as possible.

greetings,
chris

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Do you already have a website?

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi!

The Project site will be available when we release the source. Currently we only hav our german company homepage.

greeings,
chris

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Michael,

I would say you THANKS for this GREAT SOFTWARE!!! Do you know where we can vote to bring you up to an MVP???

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Great stuff! Thanks so much for making this available.

One question, even with the new .dll, I'm still getting a missing semicolon error. I don't get it on localhost, but when I move it to another server, I get it. Any suggestions?

# BUG ANYONE?

I tried implementing the HttpHandler on request to only a particular subfolder by setting up my web.config as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<location path="">
<system.web>
...
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
...
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="UserServices">
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="POST,GET" path="ajax/*.ashx" type="Ajax.PageHandlerFactory, Ajax" />
</httpHandlers>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- THIS WOULD BE <deny users="?" />, BUT FOR SIMPLIFICATION I'VE LEFT SET TO ALLOW ANONYMOUS -->
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>


My project (AjaxExampleError) contains these simple files:

/Webs/AjaxExampleError/Index.aspx
/Webs/AjaxExampleError/Global.asax
/Webs/AjaxExampleError/Web.config
/Webs/AjaxExampleError/Assembly.vb
/Webs/AjaxExampleError/UserServices/Index.aspx


Using the RegisterTypeForAjax in the Page_Load of /UserServices/Index.aspx, like so: Ajax.Utility.RegisterTypeForAjax(GetType(AjaxExampleError.UserServices.Index)), at runtime creates these dynamic Javascript references in the page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/Webs/AjaxExampleError/ajax/common.ashx"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/Webs/AjaxExampleError/ajax/AjaxExampleError.UserServices.Index,AjaxExampleError.ashx"></script>

Which would be OK except that the files do not exist in the SRC locations. The files actually exis at:

/Webs/AjaxExampleError/UserServices/ajax/common.ashx
/Webs/AjaxExampleError/UserServices/ajax/AjaxExampleError.UserServices.Index,AjaxExampleError.ashx

So, proceeding to manually reference these files in the /Webs/AjaxExampleError/UserServices/Index.aspx page works until you look at the Javascript found in: /Webs/AjaxExampleError/UserServices/ajax/AjaxExampleError.UserServices.Index,AjaxExampleError.ashx

The URL contained in the file is referenced as: url:'/Webs/AjaxExampleError/ajax/AjaxExampleError.UserServices.Index,AjaxExampleError.ashx'

Which is wrong and generates an error of 'HTTP request failed with status: 404 404'. The URL would be correct is it were: url:'/Webs/AjaxExampleError/UserServices/ajax/AjaxExampleError.UserServices.Index,AjaxExampleError.ashx'

Has anyone else ran onto this and found a fix? Contact me for an example project of the error.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

I fixed the bug myself but, only after decompiling Michael's 5.7.22.2 version of the Ajax.dll, creating a project of my own, and then changing code in one method. I've emailed Michael my project hopefully this will speed the resolution along for everyone else.

# RE:BUG ANYONE?

You can not implement an HTTP Handler in a location tag as you are trying to do. HTTP Handlers have to be at the top level of an application and are inherited by sub-directories. If you want to apply an HTTP Handler only to the sub-directory and not at the same level as the web.config and current application, you will need to make the sub-directory its own application root in IIS.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2 is awe-inspiring.

Great Job Michael.

I did have issues with server.transfer but 22.2 helped me a lot, thanks again.


Keep up the good work.

# re: Ajax.NET version 5.7.22.2

Hi Michael,
Can I use Ajax.Net Library for my Web Product, which will be deployed in others machines also. Is there any Licence Issues.
Please Reply.
Thanks
