I'm the developer of an enterprise level web application that among
other things handles documents. The documents are stored in a
database. There is now simple functionality to check out and download
the document. This is done my a normal response to the browser,
streaming the document. The user then gets the normal option to
'open', 'save' or 'cancel' til downloaded file.
Normal usage would be to save the file to a known location, open and
edit it, and finally use the check-in feature of my site to upload the
edited document.
For an experienced web dude like me this is pretty strait forward, but
for the normal users out there this is not exactly user friendly..,
more like rocket science. They will typically choose 'open' in the
download dialog, edit the file, save and then close. The smartest of
them would then realize that they have to upload the changed document,
but would not know how to locate it, as it is stored in the browsers
temp folder.
And when they click save they usually are not allowed to save over the
temp file, and then they get very afraid..., "this does not work".
What I would like is functionality that allows the user to check out
and download the document, where the document would then be opened
directly in the appropriate editing application. When the user is
finished editing the document it should be uploaded back to the
database through the web site automagically. Different dialogs for the
users are ok, but the possibility to make mistakes should be minimal.
I know of two Norwegian companies that has this kind of solution.., as
far as I know they have both created their own ActiveX controls that
does the work. I know one of them considered using a Java applet
instead, but concluded that this was not possible.
Do you guys know:
* if there are any third party components for this (I have search
extensively, but can't find anything very useful)? It would be really
nice not having to support this part of the project ourselves.
* what techniques one could apply in order to get this to work?
By the way, it's an ASP.NET 2.0 web site with MS AJAX Extension. IE
only solutions would work for me, but a cross-browser one would be
nice.

How about a Micrsoft one...? http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/
default.mspx
I hope you're joking!?
I don't need a document management system, I need some client
functionality to integrate the editing application with my upload
functionality. How would skarypoint help me with that? Yes, I need to
do something similar to sharepoint..., webdav would be one solution..,
but I need something for my own environment/app. I know of two
components that has been built in-house for this, are there no public
ones? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi All,
I have just made version 0.4.8 of the PluggedOut CMS Content Management
System available for download - it's free, and covered by the GPL.
It's still very much a work in progress (current release version is
0.4.8), but you should get a very good idea of what it's about by
visiting the site (which uses it, funnily enough), or downloading a
copy of it and trying it out.

Ive been using PAMIE 1.4 to try to automate web page processes. The one
thing I cannot do with it is upload files and download files.
With uploading files, the file input box does not allow PAMIE to enter
in a path to a file.
With downloading files, I can click on the link to download the file,
but thats where I get stuck at. It brings up that download window and
then it brings up the where to save window.

I would like to create a database, to which users can upload files

HI,
I am doing an aspx application and need to let my users be able to edit the
information in my database by the page. My first Idea was to let them export
the information to an excel file at local machine where they can edit it och
then upload the file by the page again to save down their changes down to the
database.
Now, this is the code I am using to Upload from sql to excel :

Introduction
Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.

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,...
