There is a class/component or whatever in WIN32API ambiguous to me called internet explorer_server which displays an internet page, URL, or HTML content I found it in a program but I don't know it and I can't reach it.
Something like that:
I want to know:
In which DLL library does it reside?
What is its real name in its DLL library?

Some Context
I have one closed source asp.net MVC application distributed for several customers. I'm trying to develop a extension to include some very specific functionalities that will be used by a single customer (he will also have the extension source code).
I'm developing the extension as another mvc project, loaded as an area. I'm trying to avoid having to deploy the extension binaries in the main application '/bin' folder.
I'm loading the extension assembly and it's dependencies manually in the PreApplicationStartMethod of the main application assembly. The area registration process went fine and the area routes are registered as intended.
The Problem
When I try to load some extension pages, I got a "The view 'xx' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations." message. I investigated I little and replaced the view contents with a 'Hello' string. The view was rendered correctly.
I tried to produce a minimal that triggers the error and turns out it's the '#model'directive. I tried to figure out what's happening and It's an assembly loading error. I created a minimal view with '#model object' and tried to cast the Model to original type and got the following error message: "Could not load file or assembly 'xxx' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." (this assembly contains the class type used by the view)
Just to confirm the issue, I moved the mentioned assembly to the main application '/bin' folder and everything worked.
I also inserted some model manipulation instructions on the controller, just to investigate if an exception will appear but everything went fine, I could even render a grid using json.
I'm loading every assemly with:
var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(file)
BuildManager.AddReferencedAssembly(assembly)
There's something extra I need to do ?
Needed to add the assembly private path
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AppendPrivatePath(pluginFolder);
Don't know the real explanation for it but I guess it's relates to the use of Assembly.LoadFrom(file) instead of Assembly.Load() and the fact that views are compiled later.
Am developing a module for DotNetNuke 7. I want to be able to upload a thumbnail image for entries in a catalogue. Have managed place control in edit view of my module and upload and select files however when I build the project I get the following error:
C:\dnn\dotnetnuke\DesktopModules\EventCatalog\Edit.ascx.designer.cs(103,38,103,41): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Web' does not exist in the namespace 'DotNetNuke' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Also I can't figure out how to get the selected file on the backend to save the url to database. When I enter the ID of the control VS recognizes it but intellisense doesn't provide any clues as possible options.
Can anyone tell me how to fix the above error and also if possible, point me towards a overview/tutorial for this control. Have done a fair amount of Googling but not found anything.
Well, to start, you probably need to add an assembly reference to DotNetNuke.Web to your project. Once that's there, it'll probably help with your lack of intellisense as well.
Looks like the main way you interact with the selected URL is via the FileID property. The control itself will manage saving the file to the selected FolderPath (which may or may not be something the user can change).
But, you're right, there aren't good resources for how to use the control. The best "tutorial" it probably looking through the DotNetNuke core code to see how the core uses the control.
The built in dnn upload control is specifically designed for uploading files to the dnn file system - but to be honest its pretty ugly to work with.
It makes a lot of assumptions about what you want to do with the file and as part of its process automatically registers new file in the dnn file system index.
Its also not really ideal for thumbnail uploads or any such fancy stuff - since it has no capability for file size management or scaling and cropping - its something that has been promised a couple of times but not eventuated to date.
On top of this is has a bit of a mind of its own when it comes to where it actually stores the uploaded file - which means you may be better off looking at a 3rd party uploader that you can control more easily.
FWIW - there is a full version of the telerik asyn upload library installed with every dnn install - you will need to setup it up manually but that is not that hard.
<dnn:DnnAsyncUpload></dnn:DnnAsyncUpload> is the markup basic structure and its functionally equivalent to <telerik:RadAsyncUpload></telerik:RadAsyncUpload>
Its documented here http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/asyncupload-overview.html
Having said all this if you do want to stick with dnn file picker - this code will let you find the file object that dnn uploaded the file too.
String thisURL = "";
String thisPHYSICAL = "";
Int32 itest001 = thisControl001.FileID;
if ( itest001 > 0 )
{
var thisFILE = (DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileInfo)FileManager.Instance.GetFile(itest001);
thisURL = FileManager.Instance.GetUrl(thisFILE );
thisPHYSICAL = thisURL.PhysicalPath;
}
thisURL will contain a url relative to your website domain
thisPHYSICAL will contain the physical location of the file on your server.
I'm creating a small Windows application (C++) which create some windows an such (CreateWindowEx and the like). And in one window I want to add a control that shows MHTML loaded from memory, i.e. the whole MHTML content is in a string, not in a file.
I already tried the Shell.Explorer component, but I can't find a way to inject to it anything other than HTML (see AtlAxCreateControl).
Is it possible to use the Shell.Explorer component or any other to show in-memory MHTML??
That is, without writing the content to a file and then giving the file path. That works, but it's not optimal and it'll have to be the last alternative if I can't do it any other way.
PS: If this can be done in another language or environment like C#, JS, VBS, WSH, HTAs, I'm all ears as well.
A bit late to answer, but still - there is a way to do it : use Microsoft's WebBrowser control (COM component, can be used in .Net apps as well).
Take a look an what the proposed solutions here - How to load mht from stream/string into a WebBrowser control? and here - How to display the string html contents into webbrowser control?. some of them refer to mhtml content but the solutions are applicable to ordinary html files as well.
Good luck.
I have modified some code inside my Firefox. Just add on some extra functions for my isolation network. Besides that I also want to create my own FF extension for this particular purpose. I just need some information:
Can the code inside my Firefox, call any function Javascript declared in my extension?
Generally yes, but your question is not specific enough. Both Firefox and an extension can have JS and C code, code in XPCOM components, code running in a specific window, JS modules, etc.
Assuming the "Firefox code" is running in some window (e.g. you edit browser.js) and the "extension function" you want to call also exists in that window (e.g. you overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul, which is the URI of the main Firefox window, in which the browser.js code runs), you can just call it as you would normally do.
I'm using the IWebBrowser2 control in my app and I have various html files that are stored as resources in the exe. To load these up I use the "res://" protocol. The problem is that with certain versions of IE the pages no longer load up, and instead just shows "Action Canceled, Internet Explorer was unable to link to the page requested."
The pages are referenced in the .rc script like so:
stats.html HTML DISCARDABLE "res\stats.html"
The res request looks like
res://C:\path\To\MyApp.exe/stats.html
This used to work just fine, at some point this behavior changed, presumably with a hot fix or something like that. Now, on my machine, it doesn't work. I have tried altering the res path to look like:
res://MyApp.exe/stats.html
that didn't work.
I then tried changing the rc script:
stats HTML DISCARDABLE "res\stats.html"
and the res path:
res://MyApp.exe/stats
Now it works! However this is really annoying to have to use this way (removing the "." and file extension from the resource name). Does anyone know if this is a bug? A feature? Why does this happen and is there another way around this?
Edit:
After playing around some more I found this to work:
stats.htm HTML DISCARDABLE "res\stats.html"
res://MyApp.exe/stats.htm
changing the ".html" extension in the resource name to ".htm" works but I have no idea why!
Make sure the Content Type is set correctly. Make sure that HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.html has it's Content Type set to "text/html", otherwise strange things happen. Ditto for .htm as well.
