ASP.NET – Nishant Rana's Weblog

HTTP Error 404.3 – Not FoundThe page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

I was getting the above error while trying to run an ASP.NET page deployed inside IIS 8 in Windows 8 machine.

The fix was to enable the ASP.NET option of the IIS feature

Start -> Run -> appwiz.cpl -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features

Hope it helps.

“DropDownList has a SelectedIndex which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items” error while setting SelectedIndex

I had my drop down list defined as following
<asp:DropDownList
ID=”ddlNeedEFMP” runat=”server” Enabled=”False”>
<asp:ListItem
Value=”2″>No</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem
Value=”1″>Yes</asp:ListItem>

</asp:DropDownList>
To set it’s selectedindex we can make use of below syntax.

ddlNeedEFMP.SelectedIndex= ddlNeedEFMP.Items.IndexOf(ddlNeedEFMP.Items.FindByValue(“1”));

Hope it helps.

CS1026: ) expected error when using IFrame in Content Page

Hi I had the following iframe defined in one of my aspx page.

The page was working fine. However as soon as I specified the same iframe inside a master page, I started getting following error.

Compiler Error Message: CS1026: ) expected

Source Error:

Line 4: </asp:Content>

Line 6: <iframe ….src=http://www.bing.com….

HyperLinkField and RowDataBound in ASP.NET

To access the HyperLinkField control with the RowDataBound event of the GridView, we can use the following code (refer the column cell)

protected void gridCaseMember_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e){
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow){
HyperLink myLink = (HyperLink)e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[0];

myLink.NavigateUrl = “http://www.bing.com”; }

}

Hiding Columns in GridView when AutoGenerateColumns is True

Hi,

If we have set AutoGenerateColumns property of the GridView as true and binding it to a data source, we will not be able to remove columns from it using the Remove or RemoveAt functions of Columns.

myGridView.Columns.Remove or RemoveAt

So to remove the columns we can make use of RowDataBound event.

protected void myGridView _RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e){
// hide the second and third column
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow){
e.Row.Cells[1].Visible=false;
