Im getting this weird error all of a sudden and dont know where its coming from. All I did was add a DropDownList populated with accepted email domains instead of the user having to type the whole thing out, they type in their username then pick their domain, seems simple enough. In my button click I have:
csharp
protected void cmdSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string email = Email.Text + domain;
Response.Write(email);
Response.End();
reqEmail.Validate();
reqPassword.Validate();
Session["Email"] = email
DataSet contacts = new DataSet();
importer.EmailAddress = email;
importer.Password = Password.Text;
importer.TimeoutValue = 120;
importer.QNumber = 1;
contacts = importer.ImportContacts();
if(importer.IsSuccess)
{
contactsList.Visible = true;
repContacts.DataSource = contacts;
repContacts.DataBind();
repContacts.Visible = true;
buttonsPanel.Visible = true;
ErrorMessage.Text = importer.ReturnMessage;
ResultLabel.Text = repContacts.Items.Count + " records returned";
ResultLabel.Visible = true;
cndGetContacts.Enabled = false;
SetView(ActiveView.StartOver);
}
else
{
ErrorMessage.Text = importer.ReturnMessage;
}
}
Nothing fancy there, the only thing that's changed is the new DropDownList, and concantenating the email TextBox text with the selected item from the DropDownList, which looks like:
csharp
protected void supported_domain_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
domain = supported_domain.SelectedItem.Text;
}
For populating the DropDownList I use this code:
csharp
try
{
DataSet domains = util.BuildDataSet(Server.MapPath("supported_domains.txt"), "Domains", "\t");
supported_domain.DataSource = domains;
supported_domain.DataTextField = domains.Tables[0].Columns[0].ToString();
//supported_domain.DataValueField = domains.Tables[0].Columns[0].ToString();
supported_domain.DataBind();
}
catch
{
Response.Write(util.Message);
}
The
BuildDataSet method looks like:
csharp
#region BuildDataSet
/// <summary>
/// method to read a text file into a DataSet
/// </summary>
/// <param name="file">file to read from</param>
/// <param name="tableName">name of the DataTable we want to add</param>
/// <param name="delimeter">delimiter to split on</param>
/// <returns>a populated DataSet</returns>
public DataSet BuildDataSet(string file,string tableName,string delimeter)
{
//create our DataSet
DataSet domains = new DataSet();
//add our table
domains.Tables.Add(tableName);
try
{
//first make sure the file exists
if (File.Exists(file))
{
//create a StreamReader and open our text file
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(file);
//read the first line in and split it into columns
string[] columns = reader.ReadLine().Split(delimeter.ToCharArray());
//now add our columns (we will check to make sure the column doesnt exist before adding it)
foreach (string col in columns)
{
//variable to determine if a column has been added
bool added = false;
string next = "";
//our counter
int i = 0;
while (!(added))
{
string columnName = col;
//now check to see if the column already exists in our DataTable
if (!(domains.Tables[tableName].Columns.Contains(columnName)))
{
//since its not in our DataSet we will add it
domains.Tables[tableName].Columns.Add(columnName, typeof(string));
added = true;
}
else
{
//we didnt add the column so increment out counter
i++;
}
}
}
//now we need to read the rest of the text file
string data = reader.ReadToEnd();
//now we will split the file on the carriage return/line feed
//and toss it into a string array
string[] rows = data.Split("\r".ToCharArray());
//now we will add the rows to our DataTable
foreach (string r in rows)
{
string[] items = r.Split(delimeter.ToCharArray());
//split the row at the delimiter
domains.Tables[tableName].Rows.Add(items);
}
}
else
{
throw new FileNotFoundException("The file " + file + " could not be found");
}
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
{
_message = ex.Message;
return null;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_message = ex.Message;
return null;
}
//now return the DataSet
return domains;
}
#endregion
And finally is a screenshot of the error Im receiving, anyone got any ideas? I know Ive seen this error before but cant for the life of me remember how I solved it.
