Hello there, I am trying to print a file(could be word, pdf or infopath form) from URL using c# code. But I always got "The parameter is incorrect" error. The following is the code that I used. WindowsImpersonationContext wic = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Impersonate(); Process printJob = new Process(); printJob.StartInfo.FileName = @"http://testsrv/test1/Shared Documents/test.txt"; printJob.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; printJob.StartInfo.Verb = "print"; printJob.Start(); I am sure the URL is correct. I also tried to download the file to local drive and use the local full file path instead. In that case, it doesn't print and there is no exception either. I am really confused. Please help. My code is running in an ashx handler. I don't know whether that makes different or not. Thank you very much in advance. Bin

Hello, I want to know how I can check whether a SharePoint list or file exists using url. It is for a windows form client application, therefore I cannot use SharePoint object model. I think I need to use SharePoint web service. However I don't know which web methord that I need to use. The following are example of the urls. http://sharepoint_site/list1/ http://SharePoint_site/List1/abc.txt. Thank you very much Best Regards, Bin

Thank you very much for your reply. The first time when the function is called. The value is supposed to be null. I don't want to populate the value at that time. I cannot post the code here. It is a very big project. The service is SharePoint shared service. In the beginning, the service is not available. I ran psconfig.exe to create the shared service. I will try to repro this with some simple example. Thank you very much Bin

In my code, I use a static method of a class. For example, class name is ABC. The static method name is GetService(). I called the ABC.GetService() twice. The first time it returns null, because the ABC service is not available at that time. However when I call the method the second time, it should return the service, because the service is available already. but the code still retunrs null. If I put a break point before the second time I call the function. I can use code to see the ABC.GetService() returns the service. It seems to me that the code remember the previous result and used it again when it should not. Is there a way to resolve this issue. Any suggestions are greatly appreicated. Best Regards Bin

Hello, there, I am using Ajax in an application page in SharePoint 2007. I found that when there is an exception. Ajax will show a dialog box says " Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed.", and the original exception message is not displayed. I know I can use registerpostbackcontrol() function to register the button that causes the exception to make the original SharePoint error page to show up. But I do not want to do that. Is there any other way to make the original SharePoint exception/error page to show up? Thank you very much. Best regards, Bin

Thank you so much for your reply. My code is just an example. I am working on an application page in SharePoint. I cannot change the design. the button will change position when the validation messages show or hide. I think there are two possible solutions. 1) Make the textbox's onblur event does not cause validation. I don't know how to do that. I tried to add Textbox1.Attributes.Add["onblur", "return false;"]; But it is not working. 2) Delay the validation for 100milli second by using setTimeout method. I really don't know how to do that. Please help me with this. Thank you so much. Best regards, Bin

Hello there, I met a problem. I have a textbox, requirefiledValidator and a button on the same row. If I don't put anything in the textbox first and hit the button. The validator is triggered. (The display of the validator is dynamic.) Then I put something in the textbox and hit the button again. But the button's onclick event is not triggered. I figured out the reason. I think the mouse click caused the onblur event of the textbox, then the validator error message is gone, then the button position is changed. So the onclick is not on the button anymore. The sample code is here. <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="textbox1" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator">This field is required</asp:RequiredFieldValidator> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" /> </div> <br /> </form> </body> </html> Is there a way to make the button onclick event still be fired? I think I can use setTimeout to delay the validation a little bit. But I don't know how to do it. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Bin

I am working on an ASP.NET web application. It uses a dll file as reference. I updated and rebuilt the dll file. However I found the web application is still using the old dll. I removed the reference and add the reference in again. It won't solve the problem. I also uninstall the dll from GAC, and add the new dll into GAC. However, the web application is still using the old one. I am very sure about that. Because my commmented out method is still getting called. The dll is updated. I used the windows console application to call the dll. It is working. So the dll is updated. I have been working on this issue for whole night and am so confused now. How can I make the web application using the updated dll. I am using VS 2008. The web site is not precompiled one. Thank you so much for your consideration. Please help me out... Best regards, Bin

Hello, there, I have a question about Master page of web application in SharePoint _layout folder. I can create a web application in the layout folder and have access to SharePoint Object Model. However I cannot use Master page for my web application. I tried to copy SharePoint default.master to my working folder and put the content of my page into content holder. When I load the page, I got a SharePoint error. Also I tried to use a most simple master page and content page,I still got the same error. My question is how I can use Master page for the web application in the layout folder? Anything that I need to modify? Also how can I use the most recent default.Master in my web application to keep my web application always has the same style as other pages in the SharePoint. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Bin

Hello, there, I have a question about padding-right. I have a text input box. I put an image at the right end of the input box and it is inside the input box. But I don't want the image block any part of the content of the input box. So I put a padding-right in the style of the input box. But when I type text in, the text will still go all the way to the very end of the input box. It seems that the padding-right is not working. Is there a way to fix this problem? The following are some sample code for your reference. Thank you very much in advance. Bin
