2008 June « Daniel Magin’s Weblog

Marco Cantu, Olaf Monien, Mathias Eissing, Sabine Rothe, Thomas Kremser, Daniel Wolf and Wischnewski and a lot of other Speaker, CodeGear People, Forum Administrators and me, was having a big dinner (thanks to Germany CodeGear) with David “I”.

He is a big rock in the Developers World. Every time friendly, every time open for discussions, every time open for critc, every time open for customers and visting the german community during his birthday (and his wedding day!), that’s great and not understood.

Thanks David for all what you have done for us.

ASP.net Client read out Screen Resolution

First of all, there is no information about the screen resolution in the asp.net classes. But wiht javascript you can read out the resolution and send it back to the server.

Follow this simple steps and you have in your Delphi ASP.net Application the screen resolutions about the clients.

Add in you project a new asp.net page called for example detectscreen.aspx
Change the aspx code to:
<%@ Page language=”c#” Debug=”true” Codebehind=”detectscreen.pas” AutoEventWireup=”false” Inherits=”detectscreen.Tdetectscreen” %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”><HTML><BODY>
<script language=”javascript”>
res = “&res=”+screen.width+”x”+screen.height
top.location.href=”detectscreen.aspx?action=set”+res
</script>
</BODY></HTML>
in the detectscreen.pas you change the page_load event to this:
procedure Tdetectscreen.Page_Load(sender: System.Object; e: System.EventArgs);
begin
        if (Request.QueryString[‘action’] <> ”) then
        begin
            Session[‘ScreenResolution’] := Request.QueryString[‘res’].ToString();
            Response.Redirect(‘default.aspx’);
        end;
end;
for example in your Default Page you like to show in a label the screen resolution. So change the Page_Load event to this:
procedure TDefault.Page_Load(sender: System.Object; e: System.EventArgs);
begin
try
Label1.Text := Session[‘ScreenResolution’].ToString();
except
Response.Redirect(‘detectscreen.aspx’);
end;
end;

That’s all

regards and the European Soccer Championship is now starting, let’s go Germany let’s go 🙂

ASP.Net Designer Access Denied with IE7

yesterday visting a customer i get the error with access denied by switching the Delphi Desginer between code and visual designer. I know this problem comes with IE7 and i know this problem was existing with Delphi 2006 also. After long searching in my brain, i put the solution in my blogg to find quicker again how to fix it and to share for you also. The Problem is the new caching from IE7. Cause the ASP.net Designer in Delphi is using the IE. Only adding the following stuff in registry fix the problem with Delphi 2007 also.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_OBJECT_CACHING]
@=””
“bds.exe”=dword:00000000

Happy Birthday – 10 years USB Stick

The time ist running so fast…
now we have the 10 years happy birthday of our little friend USB-Stick. Last year over 120.000.000 USB-Sticks are sold. For over ten years Dov Moran got the idea after a laptop crash during a presentation to develop something, the USB-Sickwas borned.

During this time the space, speed is growing up and the size down. Today you can buy Stick in a swiss knife or with diamonds, build in in glases, watches, phones and where ever your can build in.

I can remember a long time ago to work with Tapes, 8″, 5,25″, 3,5″ Floppies and ZIP drives and what ever. But my little Stick (with a lot of brothers and sisters) a everytime with me.

So happy Birthday my little Friend !!!
