alias/ short form of address of silverlight app on hosting - silverlight

I host my Silverlight app in commercial hosting, but to get it I must put in address field in browser all physical path to aspx file ;/
http://netmajor.home.pl/SecretaryAppNav.Web/SecretaryAppNavTestPage.aspx
It is some way to configure application that I can write short address of my page ?

If netmajor.home.pl is under your control, you could simply move a copy of the SecretaryAppNavTestPage.aspx page to the root of your website and rename it to something simpler.
Then you could access it via http://netmajor.home.pl/SL.aspx or whatever you want to call it.
There is no code behind for that page (or you could use the matching .html test page that you will also find in your project).
If you were to make it your default page (index.aspx or default.aspx) you could just use http://netmajor.home.pl/
Hope this helps.

How to show Image from local drive in Angular JS [duplicate]

I'm trying to retrieve a picture from my file system after a good storage,(instead of putting it in the database I copy it to the disc and i put the path to the db)
I had store the picture to c:\images\ folder and supposing that the name the complete path is c:\images\mypic.jpg
when I try to retrieve it a set the img src attribute to <img src="c:\images\mypic.jps"> by using some java code
in the browser console I found this error Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C://images//mypic.jpg
Question: how to fix these path problem ? where Should I store the pictures ? and from where should I retrieve them ?
sending tag <img src="c:\images\mypic.jpg"> would cause user browser to access image from his filesystem.
if you have to store images in folder located in c:\images i would suggest to create an servlet like images.jsp, that as a parameter takes name of a file, then sets servlet response content to an image/jpg and then loads bytes of image from server location and put it to a response.
But what you use to create your application? is it pure servlet? Spring? JSF?
Here you can find some info about, how to do it.
In Chrome, you are supposed to be able to allow this capability with a runtime flag --allow-file-access-from-files
However, it looks like there is a problem with current versions of Chrome (37, 38) where this doesn't work unless you also pass the runtime flag --disable-web-security
That's an unacceptable solution, except perhaps as a short-term workaround, but it has been identified as an issue:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=379206
You have Two alternatives :
First one is to create a ServletImageLoader that would take as a parameter an identifier of your image (the path of the image or a hash) that you will use inside the Servlet to handle your image, and it will print to the response stream the loaded image from the server.
Second one is to create a folder inside your application's ROOT folder and just save the relative path to your images.
Many browsers have changed their security policies to no longer allow reading data directly from file shares or even local resources. You need to either place the files somewhere that your tomcat instance can serve them up and put a "regular" http url in the html you generate. This can be accomplished by either providing a servlet which reads and provides the file putting the file into a directory where tomcat will serve it up as "static" content.
The concept of http location and disk location is different. What you need to do is:
for uploaded file summer.jpg
move that under a known (to the application) location to disk, e.g c:\images\summer.jpg
insert into db record representing the image with text summer.jpg
to display it use plain <img src="images/summer.jpg" />
you need something (e.g apache) that will serve c:\images\ under your application's /images. If you cannot do this then in step #2 you need to save somewhere under your web root, e.g c:\my-applications\demo-app\build\images
This error means you can not directly load data from file system because there are security issues behind this. The only solution that I know is create a web service to serve load files.
Here is a simple expressjs solution if you just want to run this app locally and security is not a concern:
On your server.js or app.js file, add the following:
app.use('/local-files', express.static('/'));
That will serve your ENTIRE root directory under /local-files. Needless to say this is a really bad idea if you're planning to deploy this app anywhere other than your local machine.
Now, you can simply do:
<img src="/local-files/images/mypic.jps"/>
note: I'm running macOS. If you're using Windows you may have to search and remove 'C:\' from the path string
Do not use ABSOLUTE PATH to refer to the name of the image for example: C:/xamp/www/Archivos/images/templatemo_image_02_opt_20160401-1244.jpg. You must use the reference to its location within webserver. For example using ../../Archivos/images/templatemo_image_02_opt_20160401-1244.jpg depending on where your process is running.

IE file download box get location

i am currently working on a issue where i need to get location of the file downloaded.First let me explain the scenario.
I placed a link in my page and when user clicks the link it shows file download dialog with open/save/cancel options in IE.Now when the user clicks on the save button and choose a location to save the file i need to get that file saved location using whatever options possible.
Thanks!
I do not think you can... at least not easy. This runs on the client, and for security reasons you can not acces the client's filesystem with javascript.
Maybe it is however possible using a flash or silverlight plugin, as the user can allow access from within these applications to the local filesystem. It might be very difficult tho...
The browser will not allow you to access information about the clients filesystem.

store image in a folder form a list in silverlight

I want to store a image in to a folder which I have selected from a list in silverlight
In Silverlight you have only limited access to the file system for security reason.
So everything what you want to save would end up in IsolatedStorage...
Check out this Quickstart Video and let me know if it helps
http://www.silverlight.net/learn/quickstarts/isolatedstorage/
In Silverlight, You have limited access to the client file system. If you are running Out Of Browser application with elevated permission, you can access User folders (My documents in windows).
But you can try some workarounds like using JavaScript u can try to download file. For reference Download a picture OnClick

What is the best way to let users upload pictures to my WPF application

I have a WPF intranet app running in Trusted mode (local only).
I would like the users to be able to upload an image and attach it to an article on my newsletters section. I am having trouble deciding where these images will be stored.
Please provide me with your opinions.
At present I have a few ideas myself;
I could have an aspx page that runs parallel to this app, and run this inside a browser(I-frame). This page could then handle the upload and display of the image.
I could also, have the users copy directly to a network share.
It seems that there should be a more elegant sollution that I am not aware of.
Any ideas?
Don't force the solution towards ASPX just because you know how to do it there. It's unnatural to build a page, host browser to show that page etc, just so you could upload an image.
It's actually quite simpler to do it in a desktop client than on web page. You have a "Load File Dialog" - use that to get to the filepath the user wants to upload, and when you have that you can either:
copy it (inside your application) to your share,
or if you have a service - send it through some method call,
or you can even store it inside a database (recommended if the files are small)
There's really lots of options here... it depends if your client has connection to db, do you have service in between, etc...

silverlight in html EMAIL body

I have a news letter which i did in silverlight, is there a way to send it in email. like as you include html tags, is there a way to include silverlight xap package in it.
Probably better to reference a webpage containing your silverlight content.
Technically, you could put the path to the .xap hosted on a website into an HTML email body, but nearly all mail clients will not display this - most even prevent images from loading by default.
Most email systems will prevent you from embedding active content like SilverLight, as it presents a security risk. Your only option probably is to put your SilverLight app on the web, and just email a link to it.
Don't if you want your newsletter to be read by anyone. See this article for a good list of do's and don'ts when sending emails.
Don't listen to those guys, they're probably FlashHeads... ;)
Besides that they give up too easily. More power to ya!
I assume this newsletter is for an audence that specifically desires your content: i.e a club or similar organization that doesn't have a windows based webserver.
What you do is attach the file in such a way that they drag a zip containing the files that would normally be served from a website to the hard drive - right click - extract all then they run it by clicking on an HTML file with .htm extension that hosts the silverlight plugin instead of an aspx file.
One note that probably won't matter to you is that without a server backing this up the content can't really send you back any info but it CAN get dynamic info that comes from say RSS feeds or WCF services hosted on the web.
