ASP.NET Settings

General Options

 

CodePage Codepage to be used for your web site
LCID Locale ID to be used for your web site
Default Date Format yyyy/mm/dd, mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yyyy,
yyyy-mm-dd, mm-dd-yyyy, dd-mm-yyyy,
yyyy.mm.dd, mm.dd.yyyy, dd.mm.yyyy
Session Timeout The length of time in minutes before an idle session is terminated. If blank or 0, default setting (20 minutes) of the server will be used.
Audit Trail folder

The folder where the audit trail log file resides.

Important note:

  1. Make sure that the Web server user have read/write access to the folder. You can right-click the folder and add read/write access for IUSR_<MachineName> on the Security tab.
  2. The path is relative to application root. Use slashes "/" as path delimiter, no leading slash. e.g. If the application root of your website is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo and you enter "uploads/" in this textbox, the folder for the log file will be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo\uploads.
No Cache Whether caching is required on browser
Replace CR+LF by <br> For memo fields
Upload folder

The global folder where the uploaded files resides. If you do not enter a specific folder for a file upload field in the Edit Tag panel of the Field Setup page, all the uploaded files will be put in this folder.

Important note:

  1. Make sure that the Web server user have read/write access to the folder. You can right-click the folder in Windows Explorer and add read/write access for IUSR_<MachineName> on the Security tab.
  2. From ASP.NET Maker 3+, the path is relative to application root. Use slashes "/" as path delimiter, no leading slash. e.g. If the application root of your website is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo and you enter "uploads/" in this textbox, the folder for the uploaded files will be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo\uploads. If you are not sure which folder is application root, please read Creating Virtual Directories in IIS.
Max File Size Maximum file upload size in bytes
Allowed file type The allowed file extensions of the uploaded files. Separate the file extensions (without ".") by comma, e.g. gif,png,png)
Delete file on update/delete Option to delete the uploaded file when the field value is replaced, removed or if the record is deleted.

 

List Page Options (Global)

The following list page options are global for all tables. If you want different settings for a particular table, you can use table-specific options available in the Table Setup page.

 

Records per page Number of records to be displayed on the list page of all tables. If blank or 0, default setting of 20 will be used.
Selectable page sizes Number of records to be selected by user. Comma separated values, e.g. 10,20,50,ALL.
Note: "ALL" (without quotes) is supported, other values must be integers.
Paging section style GridView NumericPage - built-in Numeric Pager provided by ASP.NET 2.0
GridView NextPrev - built-in NextPrev pager provided by ASP.NET 2.0
NumericPage - ASP.NET Maker Numeric Pager
NextPrev - ASP.NET Maker NextPrev Pager
Sort type None, Single column or Multiple column. If Multiple column is selected, the generated list page supports multi-column sorting by Ctrl-clicking the table header.
Enable paging in DetailsView Show the paging section in DetailsView
Paging section at top Show the paging section at top instead of bottom
Multiple delete Show checkboxes in the list page for selecting multiple records to delete
Inline delete Delete records directly without showing delete confirm page
Links on left side Show the links on the left instead of right
Export

Records can export to CSV, HTML, Excel, Word or XML format. HTML format can be used as a printer friendly version.

Known Internet Explorer issue:
For known MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types such as Microsoft Word ("application/ms-word"), the default behavior of some older versions of Internet Explorer is to open the document in the browser. Also, to allow user saving the file with a proper file extension (otherwise the file extension will be .asp), ASP.NET Maker uses content-disposition header to override this behavior by default. For example:
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=fname.ext"
When Internet Explorer receives the header, it raises a File Download dialog box. However, if user clicks [Open], Internet Explorer may fail to open the file. Therefore, you may want to instruct user to save the file directly to the user's disk without opening it in the browser.

Notes:

  1. Binary data (BLOB fields) cannot be exported.
  2. Export to CSV/XML are not applicable to reports.
XML Encoding

The XML encoding for export data in XML format.

Note: XML document requires encoding so the data can be read by XML parser properly. If your table/field names use English or alphanumerical characters only, you can leave the encoding blank. Otherwise, you need to specify an encoding.

 

1.3 .NET-Specific Options

Field Description:

Language

VB - VB.NET Codes will be generated
C# - C# Codes will be generated

Use code separation

ASP.NET provides two ways that you can organize code within your pages:

code-inline - it is very useful when you want to maintain your code and presentation logic in a single file. By default ASP.NET Maker uses this model.

code-behind - the code for handling events is located in a physically separate file from the page that contains server controls and markup. If Use code separation is checked, ASP.NET Maker will use this model.

Web.config

Various options for setting up the web.config.

ASP.NET Maker generates a configuration file (web.config) for each project. The web.config file contains a nested hierarchy of XML tags and subtags with attributes that specify the configuration settings which control how ASP.NET Web applications behave. Here you can easily specify settings to many commonly used elements such as authentication, sessionState and trace.

For detail description of each field please refer to the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK.

 

 

Email Settings

ASP.NET Maker supports many features that can send emails. If you use these features, you'll need to specify a SMTP server.

SMTP server

The host name or IP of the SMTP server.

By default the emails will be sent using default SMTP server on the Web server, in such case you can specify "localhost". But sometimes the default SMTP server may be disabled, in such case you need to specify another SMTP server.

SMTP server port Port number of SMTP server. Default is 25.
SMTP server username

User name for SMTP server authentication. If your SMTP server does not require authentication, leave it blank.

SMTP server password

Password for SMTP server authentication. If your SMTP server does not require authentication, leave it blank.

Sender (Email address)

Email address of the sender of all emails

Recipient (Email address)

Email address of the recipient(s) for notification emails when a record is added/edited/deleted (if enabled). If there are multiple recipients, separate them by comma.
