Apparently there is a security issue with Flash 9.0.124 that requires the following line to be added to the CrossDomain.xml file:

<allow-http-request-headers-from domain=”*” headers=”SOAPAction”/>

My most annoyed moments typically occur after receiving and email from a co-worker that suffers from 1 or more of 3 issues.

1. I’ve been asked to do something, but the email makes no sense
2. I’ve been asked a question and when I respond I’m told that they already knew the answer and they’ll go to someone else for help
3. I reply to an email and no one actually reads it. They somehow guess what I’ve written and assume things that I never intended or communicated.

So serously, take the time to write emails and documentation that are clear  and also take the time to read emails from co-workers. You may actually learn something. And you may actually not annoy the rest of us all of the time.

  Response.Clear()
  Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=SalesByProductReport.xls")
  Response.Charset = "utf-8"
  Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache)
  Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

  Dim stringWrite As IO.StringWriter = New System.IO.StringWriter
  Dim htmlWrite As HtmlTextWriter = New HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite)

  tblTable.RenderControl(htmlWrite)

  Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString())
  Response.Flush()
  Response.End()

The problem that occurred was that any user using Internet Explorer (surprise, surprise!) would get a prompt to download the file but the file would not download! The file worked properly in all other browsers. The solution is to change

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=SalesByProductReport.xls")

to

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline;filename=SalesByProductReport.xls")

Now, why exactly does this work? I’m not sure, so if you know please tell me.

The fix is this:

cd /usr/include/
sudo ln -s asm-i386/ asm


The reason that this error occurs is because multiple, nested forms cannot reside on a single aspx page .

The solution is very simple: The submit button for the user created form must contain the following attribute: onclick=”this.form.submit();”. A recent example I came across is below. The basic form that was developed and placed inside an aspx page as a nested form was as follows (only the beginning and ending of this form is shown. The content is not necessary or relevant):

<form accept-charset=”UTF-8″ action=”http://www.response-o-matic.com/mail.php” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>

                <table>

                                <tbody>

                                                .

                                                .

                                                .

                                                .

                                                <tr>

                                                                <td colspan=”2″ align=”center”>

                                                                                <input value=” Submit Form ” type=”submit” />

                                                                </td>

                                                </tr>

                                </tbody>

                </table>

</form>

The following code demonstrates the proper way of entering this form so that nested forms will work. Please note that I reiterated all of the attributes (action, method, enctype, etc…) of the form in the JavaScript call.

<form accept-charset=”UTF-8″ action=”http://www.response-o-matic.com/mail.php” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>

                <table>

                                <tbody>

                                                .

                                                .

                                                .

                                                .

                                                <tr>

                                                                <td colspan=”2″ align=”center”>

                                                                                <input onclick=”this.form.action=’http://www.response-o-matic.com/mail.php’; this.form.method=’post’;this.form.enctype=’multipart/form-data’;this.form.submit();” value=” Submit Form ” type=”submit” />

                                                                </td>

                                                </tr>

                                </tbody>

                </table>

</form>

The solution is  is to add a few lines of code in the Global.asax.vb file inside of the  Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) function. The final product looks like this:

Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim oPath As String = Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath.ToLower
If Not oPath.EndsWith(“default.aspx”) Then Return

Response.Status = “301 Moved Permanently”
Response.AddHeader(“Location”, “http://www.myDomain.com” + oPath.Substring(0, oPath.IndexOf(“default.aspx”)))

End Sub

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -u

The command to reinstall when your are done is:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

All one must do is use the following assigment:

SET @@ROWCOUNT = # of Rows To Select

Then perform the select statement and your in business!

INSERT INTO TableName(Columns…)
SELECT Val1, Val2…
UNION ALL
SELECT Val1, Val2…

etc.
