ASP

Delete Dynamically Named Folder

Question:

How can I delete a dynamically named folder with the record it belongs to?
I created a member site that uses Pure ASP Upload to create a dynamically named folder for each member's images when they first upload. Sometimes we need to delete a member and want to delete the folder as well. Not all members upload images so not all members have folders. How can I delete the folders with the deleted record and insure the page doesn't crash when there is no folder? Read More

How do I handle BLOB fields in the Recordset

Question:

When dealing with BLOB fields from Microsoft SQL Server, you must put them to the right of non-BLOB columns in the resultset. To be safe, you should also read the columns in left-to-right order, so if you have two BLOB columns as the last two columns in your resultset, read the first one and then the second. Do not read them in the reverse order. Read More

Typed URLs Do Not Go Away

When use the "Clear History" option in Internet Explorer 6.0, the URLs typed during that sesion go away, but there are a couple of URLs that remain. Those two URLs also show up whenever I type the first letter of them, but they do not appear in the windows registry when I try the following:

Click on Start, Run
Type REGEDIT
Navigate to the following 2 keys by clicking on the little plus signs (in the left hand pane) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
Delete whatever string contains the URL you want to erase.

I am wondering from where Windows is getting those two old typed URLs.

Launch a program or open a file from the browser.

I recently had a requirement where I needed to launch a program from a browser window. LaunchinIE allows you to start an appllication Word, Excel or any *.exe file from a Link on a web page.

You can download the LaunchinIE.dll and find full installation and set up instructions at the developers site: http://www.whirlywiryweb.com/q/%2Flaunchinie.asp

NOTE this will only launch a program on the local hard drive, so it's only really of use for Intranet type scenarios.
