You could use ASP.NET AJAX[^] to call a WebService or PageMethod from the client and then use JavaScript and the DOM to show the new data to the user, check this link[^] for samples and tutorials.

You could use ASP.NET AJAX for this, the easy way would be to use the UpdatePanel, the not so easy way would be to call a WebService or PageMethod to get the data and the use JavaScript and the DOM to show the new data to the user, as I said the WebService way is not as easy but is much faster and will give you better performance than the UpdatePanel, check this link[^] for samples and tutorials on WebServices, here’s[^] the ASP.NET AJAX site.

You do realize this site is full of articles, right? Do an article search for something like “webservice security” and you’ll get lots of hits.

As Mark has said this is a very easy control, you could use ASP.NET AJAX to do something like this, but since we are not going to give you the code you should check this link[^] and start learning.

I’m listening to the soundtrack as I type, now I got to get the movie to watch it over the weekend, and yes I wish I could dress like that every day :-D

If you want to call the WebService from the client then you can use ASP.NET AJAX for this, check this links: http://www.asp.net/ajax/ http://www.asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/ http://www.asp.net/AJAX/Documentation/Live/tutorials/ASPNETAJAXWebServicesTutorials.aspx

Yeah Streets of Fire is a great bad movie, I also love the soundtrack.

Are you calling the WebService from the client? If so then you’ll need to check the result in your success callback, if the user is validated then you can redirect using JavaScript window.location.assign("MyNewPage.htm")

I kind of get both views, my mom told us about her own cancer scare a couple of weeks ago, and we were grateful it was just a scare, but we were mad she didn’t told us sooner, only my dad knew and they spend the holydays scared out of their minds, maybe we could have been of some help in dealing with it, but a mom is always trying to protect her sons, even when her sons are both in their (early) 40s, but latter I realized I would have done exactly the same to shield my family from the grief.

No, the <area> tag doesn’t have a cursor style attribute

How much more data are we talking here?, the PageMethod could be trying to send too much data to the JavaScript serializer, the default value is 102400 characters but you can change that in the web.config with the following:

<system.web.extensions>
<scripting>
<webServices>
<jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="500000" />
</webServices>
</scripting>
</system.web.extensions>

By using <%= MethodName %> you are not really using JavaScript to call the server, this is done by ASP.NET while processing the page, this is why it only works in an ASP.NET page and not from an external file.

Ah ok now I get it, I think the way you phrased in the original post gave a wrong tone to your idea, and still think it’s a good post, just got a problem with that line.

I agree with most of your post, but don’t you think that this: “… but they are limited in their ability to express their thoughts in a manner that is acceptable to those of us in the developed world” sounds kind of patronizing?, there are smart people in the part of the world you call “third-world” (I thought we all lived in the third world from the sun, but it looks that’s not the case), this smart people have the ability to express their thoughts in a manner that is acceptable to you the people of Mercury (I guess that’s where all you developed people are located), maybe they can’t do it in English, but you can be sure there are people cable of smart interaction here in the underdeveloped world, don’t get me wrong is a great post but I think you took a wrong turn in the way of expression your thoughts. (Please forgive my English since I come from one of these third-world countries)

(And here we go again) What is a Saxo?

In the stores here in Mexico you can find Independence day (September 16, not may 5), dia de muertos (Halloween) and Christmas decorations in august, this is really confusing, maybe we should be celebration a deadly independent Christmas

First a Commodore 64 (best computer ever), and then the Amiga 500 (still got it somewhere)

Every time I try to download Windows 7 from MSDN IE 8 explodes, I’m just trying to download Windows 7 in IE 8 to renew Windows XP is that too much to ask?, I’m sure without this problem I would have been the first one to have Windows 7 here, damn you IE 8 (or maybe XP is trying to tell me something?). Note: FF has restarted twice trying to download Windows 7, I guess I’ll stick with XP.

Same here feb 17

Timex Sinclair 1000 (ZX81) – Started programming on this, just realized I still got it Commodore 64 – Loved machine language, yes I said it. Amiga 500 – Still got it somewhere Boring PC
