Multiple websites- usings same code but different markup.

I have atleast 10 websites that have different css,html,javasacripts and webconfig. But the same code behind files.With this design everything is hard to maintain. So I decided to work on it and I started moving all the queries in the code beghind file to stored procedures. Since every website uses the same database.

What I have decided is to make use of themes and multiple master pages? IS this the best way to go about it?

Also lets say I have two templates. There is site A and site B. both using different templates. And have pages Home About Us and Contact.

Now would I be creating three different masterpages? for each template so 6 in total? ( since none of the templates are supposed to look the same)

or Should I just create two masterpages? if so how would I manage the html of the page so it looks different? Thank you

The presentation subsystem in the next version of Windows, code-named "Longhorn," offers powerful new capabilities to developers. This subsystem, code-named "Avalon," allows developers to take advantage of its capabilities through a new markup language code-named "XAML." In addition, modern object-oriented programming languages such as C# and Visual Basic .NET can be used to tie everything together. Because most applications written to Avalon will probably be a mix of XAML and programming code, this article discusses XAML tags used to control page layout along with the procedural code written to respond to events.

I need to setup two separate webshops with public access and different layouts using AX2009 Enterprise Portal.

However I am uncertain how to implement two completely different layouts/designs because the Sharepoint Templates are located inside the 12 hive and not seperate for each website.

Can anybody give me some hints on how to do this - and if so, which requirements I have to meet (VSS 3.0 or MOSS Standard / Enterprise) in order to do it.

I am speculating whether I need to setup two separate web-servers with each own Sharepoint installation (and Business Connector Proxy)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have a web form where user can upload image and store to SQL database. (SQL tables has a relation like one title has multiple images fields).

Title: <asp:TextBox ID="txtTitle" runat="server" Width="300px"></asp:TextBox>

Image Name:<asp:TextBox ID="txtImage" runat="server" Width="200px"></asp:TextBox>

<asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" /> 

<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit Information" 
               onclick="btnSubmit_Click" />

aspx.cs code:

 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

//to store image into sql database.
         string strImageName = txtImage.Text.ToString();      
           


                    if (FileUpload1.PostedFile != null &&
                    FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName != "")
                      {
                           byte[] imageSize = new byte[FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength];
             

Can anyone point me to a reference, or sample code, on how to use the passwordrecovery control with multiple websites?

I'm working on a web application which 'contains' two related websites.  Each website has its own set of users.  Currently the password recovery logic works for only one website.  If a user tries to retrieve their password for the other website they receive a message indicating unable to retrieve their password.

Thanks!!

Hello

I have a single LINQ to SQL Classes (dbml file) compiled in a Class Library that's referenced by 3 websites. Inside that Class Library there's also a class that's using the DBML to manipulate data.

At one point it needs to save in a user table the user info (firstname, lastname, email). SOMEHOW (!?) two of the 3 webapps saves email instead of firstname and viceversa while the other 1 saves them correctly ! The one compiled last seems to be the one saving correctly.

There's no code error as I have debugged this multiple times. The values are assigned correctly but before the SubmitChanges() call the data inside the database object is corrupted.

Now, I have already fixed this locally by putting every website in a separate AppPool (which also needs to be set to "Classic" and not "Integrated". However I really don't want to bug the client with such IIS changes so I'm looking for another workaround !

Please Help!

I could use some help in coding a query.

I have a list box that allows for multiple selections (holding down the control key) the selection quantity is basically unlimited, but realistically should never be more than 50 to 100 items from the listing of about 3000 items.

I need to collect the list of selected items from the drop down list and retrieve each of their full records from the item master and populate a gridview.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Thanks.

Not sure how to go about this so asking for help.

I basically have a working website and I now have another website to build which is basically the same

ie all code and pages are the same, just links to a different database and different css.

There will also be a few code changes on the new site.

Now is there a way for me to have both sites in one???

So if I make a major change it is changed on both but allow certain pages to have differences on the two files???

Any ideas / tips / helpers???

I have a listview in which I want to show an image from an xmldatasource control.

The following works, and shows the value of thumb (in this case: 12_634232073402187500_whatever.jpg)

<asp:ListView ID="repLocationsToCompare" ItemPlaceholderID="itemsGoHere" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>                        
            <%# XPath("thumb")%>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
<asp:XmlDataSource EnableCaching="false" XPath="root/data/compare/locations/location" ID="XMLDSCompare" runat="server"></asp:XmlDataSource>

No problem there, BUT, when I use an imagecontrol:

<asp:ListView ID="repLocationsToCompare" ItemPlaceholderID="itemsGoHere" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>                        
            <asp:Image ID="img" Visible='<%# XPath("thumb

Having problems coding a query.

Got a list box that allows for multiple selections (holding down the control key) the selection quantity is basically unlimited, but should never be more than 50 to 100 items from the listing of about 3000 items.

How can I code the SQL statement to select the choosen record data? I think I have the selection list worked out by populating an array but I am not clear on how to build the SQL query.

Any help would be appreciated.
