newbie: logging exceptions, how?

ASP.NET 2.0
I'm developing a ASP.NET 2.0 portal and are wondering how to implement some
kind of logging which logs all the exceptions which occur while the website
is running, So the administrator can view the log and discover problems,
like the website trying to access a page on another server, and this server
is down. Then it would be nice if problems like this could be logged!
I've looked into healthmonitoring and the EventLog class, What do you
recommend me to use? I think healthmonitroing is best but it's just that I
don't know how to use it. But I can learn :-)
Regarding healthmonitoring, this code below will of course throw an
exception. How do I know that healthmonitoring will log this error?
try{
int i = null;
int result = 100/i;
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
Best Regards!
JeffHello jeff,
U can just rethrow your errors in catch or dont use the catch, but handle
all error in Application_Error method at global.asax
Health Monitoring is just set of service methods which helps you to write
your errors to the desired source, such as eventLog, or file or send via
email

You may want to look at the Enterprise Library at

News Ticker

Hi All

I want to create a news ticker for my site which I'm developing using ASP.NET. This news ticker shows the latest news that I'm going to store on regular basis in my DB. How ever I would like to know how i can create a news ticker control using ASP.NET

If anybody can provide me with the source I would be thankful.Has anyone found an answer to this one as I have been searching for over a week now. All I want to do is scroll text out like on the bbc news website.
http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+bbc+news+ticker&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Thanks Mendhak, I can always rely on you. Just need to go through the code now to sort out how it works. Will look at an e-learning CD I have on Javascript first. Thanks again mate!
There really isn't a lot to learn on Javascript. My advice is, the best way is to practice, practice, you start picking things up automatically after that.
Cheers mate!

newsbie if-then-else question

Hello,

I just made to move to ASP. I have been developing in PHP the past two
years. I must say that I'm a little disappointed in the quality of the
beginners tutorials. They don't go further then teaching

<% Response.Write("Hello World") %
I also lack an official website with all ASP commands explained, like
you have php.net for PHP.

Anyway, here I go, this piece of code contains a bug:

If (lang2 = "DUT" OR lang2 = "dut" OR lang2 = "NL" OR lang2 = "nl")
Then (
left = "column_left_nl.html"
top = "top_nl.html"
)
Else if (lang2 = "FRE" OR lang2 = "fre" OR lang2 = "FR" OR
lang2 = "fr") Then (
left = "column_left_fr.html"
top = "top_fr.html"
)
Else if (lang2 = "ENG" OR lang2 = "eng") Then (
left = "column_left_eng.html"
top = "top_eng.html"
)
End If

There is no tutorial that explains me whether to use brackets or not
and which kind of brackets I should use. So, do I need all these
brackets?

And why is:

lang = "DUT"

a declaration, and a couple lines further a comparison?
I'm really confused, please help me out.

Greetz,

BartonYou might be happier... much happier, with C#. It's a much more
specific/hard-lined language where there aren't as many assumptions, like in
VB. With ASP.NET, you can write your app in any CLR-compliant language
(VB.NET, C#, J#,managed C++?).. here's that code in C#:

if (lang2 == "DUT" || lang2 == "dut" || lang2 == "NL" || lang2 == "nl")
{
left = "column_left_nl.html";
top = "top_nl.html";
}
elseif (lang2 == "FRE" || lang2 == "fre" || lang2 == "FR" || lang2 == "fr")
{
left = "column_left_fr.html";
top = "top_fr.html";
}
elseif (lang2 == "ENG"
|| lang2 == "eng")
{
left = "column_left_eng.html";
top = "top_eng.html";
}

There are no assumptions. = is for assignment, == is for comparison..
semi-colons terminate a line, etc, etc...

I'm not impressed with the Tutorials. They are too basic! And they
don't tell anything about the brackets, about ISSET commands etc.

Well, this sounds much more familiar to me!
I'm used to "=" and "==" and also the ";" for ending lines.

But does this C# run at every normal ISS server?

I would write the code as such

If lang2.ToUpper = "DUT" OR lang2.ToUpper = "NL" Then
left = "column_left_nl.html"
top = "top_nl.html"
ElseIf lang2.ToUpper = "FRE" OR lang2.ToUpper = "FR" Then
left = "column_left_fr.html"
top = "top_fr.html"
ElseIf lang2.ToUpper = "ENG" Then
left = "column_left_eng.html"
top = "top_eng.html"
End If

This is very readable to me, but then I learned .NET using VB not C#

I get the error: Object required: 'DUT'

Seems I first need to make an object of DUT?
How do I do this?

Severin,

A Select Case statement might be more readable.

Select Case lang2.ToUpper
Case "DUT", "NL"
left = "column_left_nl.html"
top = "top_nl.html"

Case "FRE", "FR"
left = "column_left_fr.html"
top = "top_fr.html"

Case "ENG"
left = "column_left_eng.html"
top = "top_eng.html"

End Select

Severin,

A Select Case statement might be more readable.

Select Case lang2.ToUpper
Case "DUT", "NL"
left = "column_left_nl.html"
top = "top_nl.html"

Case "FRE", "FR"
left = "column_left_fr.html"
top = "top_fr.html"

Case "ENG"
left = "column_left_eng.html"
top = "top_eng.html"

End Select
