The ASP.NET Web Matrix Project

ASP.NET Web Matrix is a community-supported, easy-to-use WYSIWYG application development tool for ASP.NET. It can be installed via a quick 1.2 MB download (about 5 minutes using a 56Kb modem). Best of all it's absolutely free!
http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/Normally I would say this is the not an ad forum...but...WOW! This is excellent. I recommend everyone to get this. If you dont have VS .NET, obviously that is a good reason to get it, and if you do have VS .NET, this is faster and feels cleaner.

Excellent IDE.

WOW is right.

This is a must have for any one doing ASPX coding without VS.Studio(lack of IntelliSense will annoy Studio users).

I downloaded it yesterday and am VERY impressed that MS could create something this clean and lite-weight(only 1.2 MB download ??!)

It even comes with it's own "lite" WEB server for those who have no use for all the bells and whistles of IIS.

And while it doesn't create CodeBehind DLLs(a plus in my book), it does generate DLLs for any Webservice you want to access.

Very cool.

John
another thing that is cool is that it only requires the 21 meg framework. So even though you couldnt run the IIS stuff with it, and they say its for 2000 and XP, it may still be installable on 98/ME so you could at least build pages on that as VS .NET doesnt isntall on 98/ME. Heck they didnt mention NT 4 in the specs and I was able to isntall it on NT and it works fine.

NOTE: There are some bugs still in it and features missing since it is just a preview, but it still works great, and beats notepad and VS .NET hands down.
Hi
I am start Dev In asp.net Is ASP.NET Web Matrix can help me
Do thing easly ? and Do I need to use COM+ as I did before ?
Thank You !

How could u do that? do u need only the wsdl file?

Yes....Click on "Tools-WebService Proxy Generator" and put the link in to the wsdl and it creates and compiles the webservice class for you.

Very nice.

That can be done also at a command prompt but Matrix makes it easier.
so, when it produces a .dll file, this file could easly be used in other languages, like java, to call the original webservice methods and properties , am I right?

There are a number of different languages that will work with webservices. C++, C#, VB and (Microsofts version of Java), J++ will work. I found a COBOL version that was re-designed to work with .NET that worked(looked REALLY freaky tho :) ).

But....regular Java isn't going to know squat about Webservices.

John
No the .NET dll will not work with other non .NET languages. They will have their own way of calling the web services.

The dreaded asp.clipboard

Hello all

I have the need to copy something to the clipboard via 3rd party type library and then pick it up on the .NET side via the clipboard (all server-side). To complicate the issue, the application needs to be web oriented (ASP.NET)

I have a console version that work, but I can't seem to get the ASP side working. I have included the Forms assembly and I'm able to write to the clipboard via the 3rd party, but the clipboard is always unassigned (null) in ASP.NET when in fact the clipboard can be pasted into PhotoShop

I've searched a lot of articles about this issue. Some suggest that it's a permissions issue. To rule out permissions, I have the site impersonate. The impersonating identity is myself and since I can past into Photoshop, I can only assume my identity has access to the clipboard

Any insight is appreciated

Thanks
Bilthis is a permissions issue. your aspnet account needs permission to
manipulate system resources on the desktop

Alvin,
Thanks for the response

Maybe I'm missing something else then. Before impersionation I tried setting the processModel user to SYSTEM, and had the same problem. I have also added the ASPNET account to the 'run as part of the operation system' policy with no luck

When I call, clipboardData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap) the exception being returned is null object (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.). The most likely cause is permissions, but as far as I can tell I've tried giving the adequate permissions - or am I missing something

Thanks again
Bill
can you impersonate to an authenticated user and see if this works?

Otherwise post your code and i'll work with you on it

The issue of Spam and Mail Servers and legitimate use

Hello,
I am currently hosting an asp.net site on a shared crystaltech server,
which involves sending email via their mail servers. The problem is
that most of crystal tech's mail servers have been marked as 'spam
servers', and therefore email sent to aol or yahoo accounts are
rejected. This is of course not acceptable for a commercial online app
that depends on email messages getting received by its users.
Is this the case with most mail servers online? Is there a way around
this? What is a web app developer to do, whose intentions is not to
spam, but whose app requires the legitimate use of mail servers?
Thank you for your time and help.
Regards,
Jimre:

Either use your own smtp server or host at an ISP which is not blacklisted.

If your hosting company is on a blacklist for mail spamming then you should
"only" think about finding a reputable hosting company and dumping them
ASAP. You get blacklisted for allowing hosters to send out spam and doing
nothing about it - this type of company are usually very unreliable and you
should expect problems with support down the line as they are usually only
interested in getting money in and dont normally give two hoots when
problems arise.

Hi John,
That makes sense, however, except for this spamming issue,
CrystalTech has been a pretty good host and answers questions very
promptly. That's why I was a bit surprised when this problem came up.
btw, the address of my current mail server is
maila62.webcontrolcenter.com
On the other hand, I'm not sure how an ISP could prevent a user from
using their mail servers to spam. And when a company like yahoo or aol
blacklists them, it's already too late.
Maybe you should look for another reason why your mails are bouncing as spam
.
That mail server has the IP 216.119.106.40
and neither Spamhaus nor Spamcop list it..

well even the ISP I use has been blacklisted before, but credible companies
manage to get themselves removed within a couple of hours and respond to the
issue that caused them to be blacklisted. Spamhause etc. have procedures in
place to get your company removed. If your ISP are good (and I personally
cant comment on them) then you should ask them what the problem is and how
they intend to deal with it.
It may be as Juan suggested that there is a different reason why your mails
are being rejected.
