periodic check for records to print

Every 10 seconds I need to search a SQL table for orders to print. The order
s
are created through WebForms on ASP.NET clients. The orders should not print
until
10 minutes before they are due.
The network printer will be available from the server running IIS and SQL
Server 2000.
If this were a Windows Forms application, then I would create a system timer
in Form1.Load(). How is this done in an ASP.NET application?Just a note of caution. Writing windows services can be tricky, so just be
prepared to possibly have to spend a little time with it. Debugging is a
little more complex and awkward.

My printing function must connect and access data on SQL Server and then
print. I read through the information at the url that Phillip provided and

Is there tech support that documents the .NET namespaces that can be used

Hi Tony,
As long as the PC that will run the server has the .net framework installed
then all of the functions that you listed will be available to the Windows
Service, as it would to any desktop application. The main difference betwee
n
the Windows Service and the desktop application is that in the former you
would not display a GUI that requires user input.

Now I have created my windows service
The printdocument.print function is NOT firing the printPage event.
I am using several eventlog.WriteEntry() statements to know how my program
is working and which functions are called. The structure of the program is
similar to the example in the PrintDocument Class documentation.
There is no microsoft.public.dotnet.service group, so I am not sure if this
dotnet.framework.aspnet group is the proper place to continue this discussio
n.
I will post the question again at microsoft.public.dotnet.framework and
include my source code.
btw, the data entry web pages are working very nicely...

sorry for couple week delay as I moved from design to implementation ...
Now I have created my windows service

The printdocument.print function is NOT firing the printPage event.

I am using several eventlog.WriteEntry() statements to know how my program
is working and which functions are called. The structure of the program is
similar to the example in the PrintDocument Class documentation.

There is no microsoft.public.dotnet.service group, so I am not sure if this
dotnet.framework.aspnet group is the proper place to continue this discussion.

I will post the question again at microsoft.public.dotnet.framework and
include my source code.

btw, the data entry web pages are working very nicely...

directive ...
System.Drawing.PrintingPermission, System.Drawing.Version=...
Could someone help me?

Permission denied creating directory

Hi,
I have a created a simple file upload asp.net web page which also creates di
rectories on the fly using the following code:
string fullpath = Server.MapPath(".\\..\\..\\" + path);
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(fullpath);
if(!dir.Exists)
dir.Create();
Now the dir.Create() statement gives me a permission denied. The ASP.NET use
r has been giving full control to the directory and in IIS Admin the directo
ry has write permissions for scripts set. There is no problem in uploading t
he file to an already creat
ed directory which I find extremely weird!
What goes wrong ?
My OS is Windows XP using .NET framework 1.1. All the latest security patche
s are installed.Hi,
Does the "System" account have access?
Cheers,

Hi Christoffer:
One way to trouble shoot these types of problems is to enable auditing
and find out "who" is getting the access denied message.
See:
http://www.pluralsight.com/keith/bo...leauditing.html
and
http://www.pluralsight.com/keith/bo...fileaccess.html
Also, make sure the permissions apply to subfolders - click "Advanced"
and check the "Apply To" column.

Thanks for these links.

I have found what the problem was. The ASPNET user I added was from another
domain. Now I have added the local ASPNET user and it works.
The audit thing really helped. Thank you very much!

Thanks for these links.

I have found what the problem was. The ASPNET user I added was from another domain. Now I have added the local ASPNET user and it works.

The audit thing really helped. Thank you very much!

Permission denied on a folder

I've created a reporting application at my company. I created a directory in the root virtual directory called ExportTemp for saving graphs and any other temporary file. I gave ASPNET modify permissions on this folder but I still get an error saying that access is denied when the app tries to save a file to the directory. I'm not sure what else to look for.

Try to allow read AND Read&Execute persmissions

Haissam:

Thanks but I guess I should've said that I gave all permissions except full control.

Permissions Problem

Hi

I have created a facility to allow the user to upload an
image file to the webserver. When the user creates the
image for the first time i.e. the image does not exist
within the directory everything works fine. The problem
occurs if my ASP.NET dll tries to delete the file or
overwrite it?

I assume my app will be using the ASPNET account and I
have ensured that this account has full control over the
directories in question etc.

Anyone any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

AndyWhat is the error?

SORTED!

It seems that under Windows 2003 the process is NOT
running under the ASPNET account but a NETWORK SERVICES
account?

However if this is the case how is it writing the first
file upload successfully to the directory?

weird!

It is now working though, which is nice ;-)

There are only 2 possible reasons why your app might be denied access to the
file:

1. It doesn't have the necessary permission
2. The file is in use by an application and locked.

You can easily determine whetyher it's number 2 or not. If you can delete
the file and the app cannot, the problem is number 1. When a file is locked,
even the Administrator group can't delete it.

If the problem is number 1, re-check your permissions. And remember that
Deny permission always overrides Grant. In other words, if you have granted
the user permission, and somewhere else that permission is explicitly
denied, the permission is not granted.

You may also want to make sure that the account you think ASP.Net is running
under is indeed the account it is running under. To do this, just open up
Task Manger, check the Processes tab. The user account under which your
ASP.Net worker process is running will be displayed.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for posting to the MSDN newsgroups.

I am glad to know that the problem is resolved. You are right that the
default account is the Network_Service account in Windows 2003 Server (IIS
6). If you want to change the account, please refer to the following
article.

If you have any more concerns, please feel free to let me know.
