ASP.NET - Transfer to another page using gridview based on 'id'

This is for when you have a GridView with a link based on 'id'.

SQL table (tblMovies): movieID, Title, Year etc.

Page1.aspx

GridView settings
Propeties | Data | DataKeyNames : movieID

GridView tasks
GridView Tasks | Edit Columns | Add HyperLinkField

Add a HyperLinkField

HyperLinkField propeties
Appearance | HeaderText: Blahblah-whatever
Data | DataNavigateUrlFields : movieID
Data | DataNavigateUrlFormatString: ~/Page2.aspx?movieID={0}
Data | DataTextField: movieID

Page2.aspx

In the SqlDataSource you need to use a parameter for the 'id':
Parameter source: 'QueryString'
QueryStringField: movID

SELECT * FROM tblMovies WHERE (tblMovies.movieID = @movID)

This is just a help, not a guide

VB.NET: Programmatically populate a DropDownList (aspx)

If you need to populate a dropdownlist by hand

However the value and the displayed text are both the same!

Me.ddlTest.Items.Clear()

Dim strDDL() As String = {"Aaa111", "Bbb222", "Ccc333"}

Me.ddlTest.DataSource = strDDL

Me.ddlTest.DataBind()

VB.NET: Windows version (aspx)

Sometimes we have to know which OS version the user is using (from an aspx page)

Dim strOS As String

Select Case Request.Browser.MajorVersion

   Case 6

      strOS = "Windows XP"

   Case 7

      strOS = "Windows 7"

   Case Else

End Select

VB.NET: Retrieve IP and resolve to hostname (aspx)

Our company upgraded to Windows 7 so this is what I had to do in order to retrieve the host computername

Dim host As System.Net.IPHostEntry
host = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress(Request.ServerVariables.Item("REMOTE_HOST"))
Dim strComputerName As String = host.HostName

Split MKV files

I found this through google

This works very very well with hacked PS3 using Showtime player!

splitMKV - split big MKV/AVI files + external SRT subtitles in smaller chunks (FAT32)

Here we go with another handy and cool tool: splitMKV. It will be included in multiAVCHD's full download, along with a standalone app download here: http://multiavchd.deanbg.com/splitMKV/

Those of you who have multiAVCHD can simply download the .exe (80KB) and put it in multiAVCHD's folder.

splitMKV is a CLI tool, but since it uses default split size of 4000MiB you can use drag&drop with your MKV/AVI files, too:

Code:

D:\>splitMKV.exe

splitMKV ver 0.02 - split MKV/AVI files with external SRT subtitles (deank@doom9)

Usage: splitMKV.exe input_file [output_folder] [/split:SIZE]

* input_file must be a MKV or AVI

* SIZE is set in MiB - i.e /split:4000 for FAT32 compatibility (default)

Use this to output directly to USB (standard 4gb chunks): c:\some\folder\splitMKV.exe d:\another\folder\test_movie.mkv x:\

It will process MKV or AVI files and will split them in smaller parts (set by /split: option) and on-the-fly it will split the corresponding SRT file, will set new timings and will fix errors in the SRT subtitle file.

Important: SRT files must be saved in ANSI format before processing.

Note: Using this tool makes sense only if you have external SRT subtitles to be split along with the input MKV/AVI file. Otherwise it is just a simple CLI4CLI (for mkvmerge).

The whole idea is to cut the steps for splitting and adjusting subtitles, when user splits the original video, so basically that's what splitMKV does.

Example: splitMKV.exe d:\test_movie.mkv

will split test_movie.mkv in 4GiB chunks along with test_movie.srt so you will get:

test_movie-part-001.mkv

test_movie-part-001.srt

test_movie-part-002.mkv

test_movie-part-002.srt

etc..

Example 2: splitMKV.exe d:\test_movie.mkv /split:700

will split test_movie.mkv in 700MiB chunks...

***

The tool was requested by OPPO BDP-83 blu-ray player users, since it can play MKV files off a USB stick. Because there is a 4GB limit for FAT32, this small tool will come in hand. Of course, splitMKV can be used with multiAVCHD before creating a compilation.

For example you want to create a DVD5 AVCHD disc from 8GiB MKV file. So you can split the MKV with splitMKV first and then create 2 or more DVD5 discs from the split parts.

The tool uses mkvmerge to split the input file and then mediainfo to recalculate the proper timings for newly created SRT segments.

Test

Mæh!
