newbie: Problems in the code... again

hey

asp.net 2.0

On my webpage have I placed a LoginView (named lvSidebar). On this
loginview's loggedInTemplate I placed a menu (mnuSidebar) and the datasource
to the menu is SiteMapDataSource1.

My Problem is that I cannot access the SiteMapDataSource1 object from the
code:
lvSidebar.LoggedInTemplate.SiteMapDataSource.Start ingNodeUrl =
"Default.aspx";
don't compile:
System.Web.UI.ITemplate' does not contain a definition for
'SiteMapDataSource1'

Any ideas what I should do to solve this?

JeffThe LoggedInTemplate property of the LoginView control does not have a
property called SiteMapDataSource which is what is causing the error. If you
want to prograamatically set the StratingNodeURL property of
SiteMapDataSource1 simply use the following code

SiteMapDataSource1.StartingNodeUrl = "Default.aspx";

The LoginView has nothing to do with it.

hmm when I in the code start to type "SiteM" the SiteMapDataSource1 isn't
shown in the type-ahead list... this happens if I try to access the
SiteMapDataSource like this SiteMapDataSource1.StartingNodeUrl =
"Default.aspx"; or
lvSidebar.LoggedInTemplate.SiteMapDataSource.Start ingNodeUrl

Another thing is that my webpage has 2 SiteMapDataSource1 controls (yes they
have the same name, but they exist in their own LoginView, lvSidebar and
lvMenu).

Any more suggestions?

If you want to access a control that is within another control you need to
use the following syntax:

ParentControl.FindControl("ChildControlID")

This will return a reference to the child control. You will also need to
cast it to the correct type.

In your case you would use something like the below C# code

SiteMapDataSource MySiteMapDataSource = (SiteMapDataSource)
lvSidebar.FindControl("SiteMapDataSource1");
MySiteMapDataSource.StartingNodeUrl = "Default.aspx";

newbie: this is a strange phenomenon

hey

asp.net 2.0

I've created a master page with 2 ContentPlaceHolders (named "sidebar" and
"content"):
<table style="z-index: 100; left: 12px; width: 100%; position: absolute;
top: 113px;">
<tr>
<td rowspan="3" style="width: 158px" valign="top">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="sidebar" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</td>
<td style="width: 688px" bgcolor="#f7f6f3" valign="top" >
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="content" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</td>
<td style="width: 223px">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Then I've created a webpage based on this master page...

Now I start to add a label control to the default.aspx webpage (based on the
master mention above). I select the Label control in the toolbox and drag it
over to the content (ContentPlaceHolder). I see that the border arround the
content control flashes a blue color telling that this control will be
dropped on this content place holder... But when I dropp this control on
this contentplaceholder (default.aspx) the control appear on the other
contentPlaceHolder (sidebar)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

JeffHi Jeff,

Is it because you're using absolute positioning in the master page and not
in the content page?

newboe: how to get the user name?

OS: XP pro
IDE VS 2005 .NET
ASP.NET 2.0
System.Security.AccessControl.SecurityInfos.Owner.ToString() returns
domain\username...if the domain is named "TEST" and username is "per" then
this statement returns TEST\per...
But what code must I do if I went to the fullname of the user?
JeffAsk the user to put it into a form. ;-)
Seriously, though, if the user is logged in to Active Directory, you should
be able to use the System.DirectoryServices namespace and classes to query
the Active Directory for this information.

Thanks, I'm looking into it now:
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry de = new
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry();
string fullname = de.Properties["displayName"].Value.ToString();
This code isn't working because I need to set the de.Path property before
executing the last line.. I'm not sure how to get the domain name the user
is logged into...Any tips would be great...
I've tryed, with out luck using this statment:
string domain = de.Properties["defaultNamingContext"][0];
This statement gives me an error message saying "This domain do not exist"
(or something like that, the error message I get on my computer is in
Norwegian and I translated it into English... I'm a native Norwegian)
What am I doing wrong here?
Any tips would be received with great appreciation!
