Hi all
I'm building a search page for documents and files on my server machine. The
search results will be displayed in the form of links on a page.
How can I make the user's computer open the appropriate application, whenever
a use clicks on a link to access the file? For example, the link points to a .
doc file, how can I make word open on the client machine and display the file?
Thanks

Hi Rey,
This is something that will happen automatically. If you point to a DOC
file, then in general cases, the browser will display the DOC file itself
with the Word Plugins it has. If they don't have the plugin, then the file
gets downloaded and opened automatically. Same for PDFs, XLS, and any other
file extension you can think of.
If this wasn't what you were asking, please clarify.

Ok, Here's what I want to do. I want to be able to display all the
files in a directory as links on webpage so that the user can just
click the link to download the appropriate file. I can make this work
with the following bit of code. The files all have basically the same
format:
backup-<date created>.sql.tar
What the following code does not do is to show the files in
alphabetical or chronological order. I think I could read the...

I am trying to crawl my site to get a list of links. I am using the regular
expressions to get the href tags from the pages and reading the links using
xmlhttp module.
is there an efficient way to loop through the links? If you start with the
home page, how do you do it? How do yo ukeep track of the pages you have
been to and which to do next.
I am not sure how to go about tihs.

Hi
I have an html file which links to word docs amongst other things; but
these files and their location may change periodically.
How can I adapt my html so that if the files do not exist, the links
are hidden i.e. how do I hide broken links?

Not sure if somebody can help me here. Our company develops a web based
system that lets client have interaction with it. One of the things that we
have is the ability for a user to create links to local files on there
machine. They then can click these links and launch the document in a
iFrame. Anyway these links no longer work. Did something change in IE
security settings?
Thanks,

I inherited a website to update and maintain and it appears that many extra
files have accumulated on the server over the last few years. I would like
to clean them up, but the idea of manually going thru all of the pages,
listing the links and then comparing the list to the file directory seems
very time consuming.
Can anyone point me to a tool or method to streamline this process? Even
something that just lists the links included in...

Hi
I need to make a list of "download file links" on a webpage. All the data
is dynamic - it depends on the user's actions how many files, and which
files, I need to present in the list. The files are identified by an id in
a database.
How do I do this? I was thinking I could somehow make a list of <a href...>
tags which could call a method in my c# code-behind. Is this possible? Or
is there a better way?

I am a hobbyist programmer, using C# and VS2008 and writing desktop apps.
I am trying hard to take a modular approach to avoid re-inventing the
wheel but I'm finding it a bit frustrating. For instance I have a
ListViewEx class (based on a ListView) which has in-place editing and a
sorter based on column content. It uses custom column headers and custom
ListViewItems. In turn the ListViewEx may have a further class base on it
and so on.
