how should i do it?

Expand Post »
Hi,

Im creating a website that will be used to monitor servers, the user can add and remove servers and the servers list will be constantly chaning.

I need to create a generic page to display the monitoring results that will adapt depending on which server the user selects. The graphs and results dispalyed will always be the same however the data will change depending on which server is selected. How would i go about doing this and is there any good examples online?

Would i need to create new pages as servers are loaded? or could i use a master page that changes depending on server?

Re: how should i do it?

FOR REFRESH YOU CAN USE AJAX. TO LEARN MORE ON THIS GO TO asp.net learn section. Server means what? Just input & then save??? Need to know details. For graph you can use fusion chart which is free.

Re: how should i do it?

hi,

I mean like a windows server or unix server basically monitoring computers and I would like to have one template that could be used for every server, the data about each server is stored in a sql database so when the user selects say server1 it will load the template with all the information about server1, but if they chose server2 then it will load all the information about server2. I need to know whether this should be done with a master page i.e create the template then each time a new server is added it will create a page based on that template or is there another way which would be better?

Re: how should i do it?

Basically MASTER page is used for a common header, footer or left menu purpose. According to your why you think complex. Its easy i think. You can design an aspx page which will be the master page. Then design child page.

In master page you will show the list of available/active servers in a GridView.
When user click on a row then redirect to the child page by the selected server id. In child page select child details by a select statement where serverid=querystring value.

Let me know if you cant understand.

Re: how should i do it?

hi,

That is exactly how i have done it so far. Have a sql query on my homepage which returns a list of the servers that the program is monitoring. I have selected the option make them selectable and would like it to take the user to a page depending on which is selected i have done it using gridview code below, however when they are selected nothing happens do i need to put something in the code file to make this happen? are there any good examples

Re: how should i do it?

YOU CAN ACHIEVE THIS IN THE FOLLOWING WAY:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1.                         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Action">
  2.                         <ItemTemplate>
  3.                             <asp:Label ID="lblEdit" runat="server" Text='<%# "<a href=frmAgents.aspx?Cmd=EDIT&NavigateId=" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Id")+ ">Edit</a>"+" | "+ "<a onclick="+ch+"return ConfirmChoice()"+ ch +" href=frmAgents.aspx?Cmd=DELETE&NavigateId=" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Id")+ ">Delete</a>" %>'></asp:Label>
  4.                         </ItemTemplate>
  5.                             <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
  6.                             <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
  7.                         </asp:TemplateField>

Re: how should i do it?

hi,

Where would I put this code. I put it directly after the code I showed you before but it gave errors, do I need to add new controls to the website first? Errors are as follows:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. Error	10	'System.Web.UI.Control' does not contain a definition for 'DataItem' and no extension method 'DataItem' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.Control' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hi,

The previous poster suggested to place the code he gave in to gridview not outside it.
