IE 7 Vs Firefox Vs Safari

Mahesh Singh — Fri, 23 May 2008 05:21:54 GMT

I did quick test to check which browser eats more memory. My test is not so robust. I only open 4 similar pages into all the browser and check the memory uses into Window task manager. What I found Safari eats more memory then IE 7 and least memory consume by Firefox. I am not saying this test is a sufficient test for browsers. Here is snapshot.

ASP.NET TextBox MultiLine maxlength

Mahesh Singh — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 05:41:16 GMT

ASP.NET textbox multiline maxlength

multiline textbox with maxlength in asp.net

According to msdn in ASP.NET you can not use textbox’s MaxLength property with Multiline Mode. But I was required in my current application. So I search google and other search engines and finally got few solution. I am simply compiling all of the solutions in single post.
Solution Number 1 for

ASP.NET TextBox.MultiLine maxlength

Add following javascript

function Count(text,long)

{

var maxlength = new Number(long); // Change number to your max length.

if(document.getElementById('<%=textBox.ClientID%>').value.length > maxlength){

text.value = text.value.substring(0,maxlength);

alert(" Only " + long + " chars");

}

Where “textBox” is the asp text box ID.
Also add following events in your textbox.

onKeyUp="javascript:Count(this,200);" onChange="javascript:Count(this,200);"

Your textbox code should look like

<asp:TextBox ID="textBox" onKeyUp="javascript:Count(this,2);" onChange="javascript:Count(this,2);" TextMode=MultiLine Columns="5" Rows="5" runat=server>

</asp:TextBox>

Solution Number 2 for

ASP.NET TextBox.MultiLine maxlength

Another way to achieve this is regular expression. You can add following regular expression validate on asp text box.

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="txtConclusionValidator1" ControlToValidate="textBox" Text="Exceeding 200 characters" ValidationExpression="^[\s\S]{0,2}$" runat="server" />

Hope this helps you!!!

“Mutex Could not be Created.”

Solution number 3
Cause: This occurs because the permissions on the following registry key no longer have your custom account:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ASP.NET\2.0.50727.0\CompilationMutexName
The compilation mutex gets it's permissions from this registry key and with your custom account missing, the process running ASP.NET cannot get a handle to the mutex and fails during compilation.
Resolution:
=========
1. Run the following to add your custom account to the registry key permissions:
ASPNET_regiis -ga domain\account.
2. Either restart the server or close the handles to the mutex (see below)
To close the handles to the Mutex:
3. Download and launch Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com
4. From the Find menu, select Find Handle or DLL
5. In the Handle or DLL substring box, type “mutant” (without quotes) and click Search
6. Click the Handle or DLL column heading to sort the items and find a mutex that starts with CL. The handle will typically be devenv.exe (the IDE for Visual Studio) and aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe. The handle will look similar to:
7. \BaseNameObjects\CLbdd6aa8f
8. Select the handle in the search box and Process Explorer locates the Process and the handle in the main window
9. Right-click the handle in the main window and select Close Handle
Additional Info:
============
The error may occur anytime you run ASP.NET as a custom account and the above mentioned registry key does not have the account listed in the permissions.
If you receive the error and you are running with a custom account on IIS 6 in worker process mode (code running in w3wp.exe), you can add your custom account to the IIS_WPG group on the server. The IIS_WPG group is granted access to the registry key by default.

“Mutex Could not be Created.”

Solution Number 4
You may also need to fix the perimssions manually, as follows:
1. Run Registry Editor 32: Windows -> Run -> "REGEDT32"
2. Locate the sub-window "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine"
3. Navigate to the key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ASP.NET\2.0.50727.0\"
(and select it).
4. Click the menu "Security" then "Permissions".
5. Ensure the custom account you are using to run aspnet (e.g. "mydomain\aspnet") is in this permissions list.
If it is not then Add it and ensure "Full Control" is ticked, then click OK.
6. This should immediately resolve the Mutex locking issue (just refresh your page, or rebuild in Visual Studio).
7. If not then do an IISRESET first then retry step 6.
