code called from web page or webservice

C Williams

Hi,

I have a small piece of code that is used by both a web page and by a
web service. I'd like some different behaviour depending on whether it
is called by the page or by the service.

In the piece of code, I can determine the calling source (page/service)
by checking to see if System.Web.Http Context.Current .Session is null
(which it will be for service and won't be for page).

The thing is--I would like for the piece of code to be able to look up a
bit of information at this point. For the page, that bit of information
is stored in the HttpSessionStat e. How can I store this information so
that when the code is called from the web service it can be looked up?

In this case, unfortunately, passing parameters directly isn't a good
option for me.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Casey,

If you can't pass it to the page then I think storing it in a database
before calling the code and then having the code retrieve it from the
database would be your best option.

The intent of my web service is an RSS feed from a blog. Originally I used a StringBuilder to make the XML and returned a string from the webmethod. But this doesn't display properly in IE.

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
