I have a problem caused by an earlier design of a program developed by an external vendor. We have an sms system that accepts request via URL parameters (Eg: http://internalserver/sms.aspx?hp=3453453+msg=testtest). I am trying to make this a more user friendly experience and thus have came out with a webform that accepts a mobile number and the message. Whenever the user clicks on the "Send" button, I would do the followng: 1) Create the URL and initialise it accordingly. Eg: http://internalserver/sms.aspx?hp=3453453+msg=usersmessage 2) The webpage will then launch this url in a new browser window. The problem is if a user would like to send multiple sms, a large number of new browser window will open which is not ideal. Is there a way in ASP.NET to execute a url without having to launch another browser window or redirect the current one. Note: The earlier system cannot be changed.

Does anyone of any opensource or extensible knowledge base and faq systems? I was looking around at hotscripts and cp but was not able to fine one that have both integrated and a decent search function.

I am working on a C# project that looks for words in a text file. The current design is that my RegEx will need to be called 3 times to search for 3 different patterns: \bWord1\b then \bWord2\b followed by \bWord3\b Is there any OR operator that will allow me to specify all 3 words in a single RegEx pattern?

I am writing a prog that will process data every 15 mins to 1 hour. I have looked at System.Timer and Window Timer but they seem to be conern about millisecond timing and I presume that the amount of resources (processer and RAM) that it requires might be wasted since I only require accuracy of a minute. I was wondering if you guys actually use Timers with elapse time of 15 mins - an hour or is there a better solution for this.

Thanks mav.northwind! :) I was just testing V|ktor's code and was wondering abt Casing and the Spaces too.

V|ktor wrote: string str = "How do I search if a words exist in a string"; MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(str, " a "); Console.WriteLine(mc.Count.ToString()); Thank You! This worked great for me. Here's a 5. ;)

Is there a fast way of finding the number of times a word appears in a string? Eg. String: "How do I search if a words exist in a string" Target Word: "a" Result: 2

Is there anyway develop a process that will run on the backgroud. Eg: Calculation of Pi in the background while at any one point of time when a user access a webpage, it shows the current results of Pi ( while the backgroud process continues)

Appreciate if you can point me in the right direction. Been looking for such a parser for a while but only found those in Python and Java but not .NET. Probably was looking in the wrong direction.

Hi, I am a rather newbie in XML and C# and do not have much time (due to work) to pick them up. I am trying to come up with a simple aggregator to suit my work needs (personal project). Basically, i am looking for a ATOM (AND) RSS parser that allows me to parse in any XML uri and the parser will discover the format and parse accordingly. (Paid, Free, Open Source is fine with me) Example (not sure if i am getting it right here): 1) Load a feed uri --> discover if it is ATOM or RSS --> send to the correct parser --> return document 2) Discovery if it is ATOM or RSS --> Load feed uri --> send to the correct parser --> return document -- or -- Any other methods is fine with me Lastly, if possible, to have auto discovery of the presence of an XML feed given a web address will be Great. :) (Hope this not considered as a programming qtns)

Hi, I have been searching for a Parser that will parse both RSS and ATOM feeds. So far i have found numerous of RSS and a number of ATOM only parser (Not both) that were written in .NET. I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of know of any such projects in .NET. So far, the only parser i seen that parses both is one from Magpie (php) and Unvieral.... (python). Thanks

hummm.. IE doesn't show anything that resembles a RSS feed link. Maybe i should give firefox a shot.

Just starting to use Feed Aggregators for the blogs that I read but getting their RSS or ATOM link is a pain in the ass. :( Have anyone done it before?

I am looking for a Beginner's ASP.net book that uses C# in their examples. Between Amazon and my library, I notice that most such books focus mainly on VB.net and a tiny bit of C# here and there. I understand that you are able to use both C# and VB.net with ASP.net but since I have already some basic knowledge of C#, I was hoping if anyone here has a great title to recommend. I have tried Onion's Essential ASP.net with/in C# but I was looking towards a more beginner's oriented one.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Opppsss. Looks like I forgot the most obvious place to search. :doh: Google ain't my best friend anymore.. :laugh:

I was wondering if anyone knows whether there is any project out there to aid the consuming of RSS feeds. Currently there are just so many different RSS Specification and was looking for a component or module that i can hook up and use where I can specify a URL and the component spits out usable formatted data. an example is: Here[^] I only managed to find a couple at soureforge in PHP but not for .NET. Will really appreciate if you guys can share with me. :)

sounds like me a year ago when my brain feeds on coffee. Close to 15 cups a day till my stomach starts giving me problems. X| Now down to 1-3 a day but craving for more.. :sigh:

i think someone spoof your email address to sent out spam. I have experience this a couple of times before and there is nothing you can do about it but hope that your address doesn't get blocked by any spam filter.
