ASP.NET authentication login and logout with browser back button

- by Eatdoku

Hi, I am looking for a solution for user use the browser's back button to navigate to previous page once logged out. I have a web application build in asp.net and using a custom membership provider for authentication and authorization. Everything works fine except when the user click on the logout link to log out of the application and being redirect to a default cover page, if the use click on the BACK BUTTON on their browser, it will actually go back to where they were before and the data will still show up. Of course they can't do anything on that page, click on anything link they will be redirect to a login page again. But having those information display is making a lot users confused. i am just wondering if there is any way i can either clear the browser's history so use can't go BACK, or when they click on the back button and have them redirect to the login page. thanks

XmlDocument filter nodes by datetime string

- by Eatdoku

Trying to apply filter / attribute comparison in the Xmldocument. Obviously , the following code snippet wouldn't work because the expression can't be converted using number() function. (according to the answer of my other question). I'm wondering if there is a way to do the DateTime string comparison in XmlDoc. XmlNodeList test = x2PathDoc.SelectNodes("//Config /Entity [@TargetDateTime> '2010-12-19T03:25:00-08:00']");

Entity Framework + stored procedure with paging

- by Eatdoku

I am using Entity Framework now and using a stored procedure to populate my entity. Where there is no problem with populating my entity, but when i trying to bind the result to a gridview control with "Enable Paging" set to true, it gives an error saying "The data source does not support server-side data paging." I am using stored procedure because one of the table column is FullTextIndexed, and there is a requirement to be able to search on that field. Can anyone tell me how the paging would work in this situation?

C# + Disposing DbConnection and DbCommand and catching error

- by Eatdoku

Hi, I am trying to understand DbConnection and DbCommand, and the proper way to dispose those objects after use. Following is the code snippet I have. By using "using statement" on DbConnection and DbCommand, would it be sufficient? I am trying to prevent possible memory leak. 2nd question, Do I have to Dispose DbCommand object? thanks a lot DbProviderFactory fac = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(this.DatabaseProviderName); using (DbConnection dbConn = fac.CreateConnection()) { dbConn.ConnectionString = this.ConnectionString; using (DbCommand comm = fac.CreateCommand()) { comm.CommandText = "select * from aTable"; comm.Connection = dbConn; DataTable targetTable = new DataTable(); DbDataAdapter facDA = fac.CreateDataAdapter(); facDA.SelectCommand = comm; facDA.Fill(targetTable); //assuming Adapter would open / close connection (right assumption?) //do something with the datatable } }

asp.net login control with role redirection

- by Eatdoku

Hi, I am using a asp.net login control with one of my asp.net application to authenticate users. I also have roles defined as well. Some of the directories are setup so only users with ROLE "MANAGER" are able to access pages under those directories. If the user does not have "MANAGER" role, he will simply be redirect back to the login page. so my question is that for the out of box login control, is there a way to show the proper login fail error message? for user trying to login but does not have a proper ROLE assigned to them, instead of a generic error message saying "login failed" thanks.

Error handling with try catch (AGAIN)

- by Eatdoku

Hi, just a general question, do you ALWAYS have to handle error? i was just having this debate with one of my coworker where in his code I see a lot places where stuff are wrapped around a try statement and in the catch statement there is nothing. I always thought it is a bad practice to not handling error or hide them from the user (except log them in the log file). just want to know what other people thinks thanks.
