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?
The links need to pass a "file id" to my code-behind so I can find the
correct file in a database and supply the file to the user (I assume I use
the Response stream to send the file).
Thanks,
Peter 3  2767

there are a lot of ways to do it
as an example (using a DataList Control)
<asp:DataList id="UrlList" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate >
<a href='mypage.as px?id=<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"StringValu e") %>'>Click here</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
in the code-behind:
UrlList.DataSou rce = CreateDataSourc eOfURLs()
UrlList.DataBin d()
It sounds like you are storing the file information in some form of data
store (database, XML file, search of file system that can be stored in
objects or files). If so, get the information into a DataSet or object
collection that can be bound. As far as how to do the links themselves, a
Repeater is a very good choice, with a Hyperlink in the item template.

Hi folks, what I would like to do is to store the name of a link, such as
link1.php in a field, lets say the field is called Favoritelinks, in a
database as a bit of text. Then, on a logged in page, pull the value from
the field and put in right in the <a href><a> tag so that the link now
points to a file, and is dynamic. And, depending on the username and
password, the value taken from Favoritelinks changes.

How do you guys make listings such as product listings and their detail
pages more crawler friendly, if they are genrated using dynamic asp pages.
If your ASP uses a format like this: www.mysite.com/products.asp?idnum=3444
to display detail pages, how can I apply SEO to this format??
I know unix hosts use the mod rewrite, but I do not have access to the
server settings etc.
BUt I can access a database etc.
What are your thoughts?

Hi-
I am interested in creating links within my pages dynamically as they are
requested. For example, someone requests a page, my web app. would parse
the generated *.aspx HTML and add links to words or phrases that my app
deems appropriate.
I have tried to think of the best way to do this, the most efficient way.
It doesn't have to be done each time it's requested, I would actually prefer
if it were cached one it is done. I am trying...

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,...
