Can I use MSDE My machine has MSDE our environment has MS SQL 2000. I would like to try this site, but I'm wondering if I an use MSDE Posted By : Mike Posted On : 3/22/2007

Re: Can I use MSDE No. This is because MSDE can not attach database from App_Data folder on the fly. However, if you somehow transfer all the tables and stored procedures to your MSDE database then you can use that database by modifying the connection string.

JSSK I have tried to install JSSK but but I receive a directory has not been created error. Are there any suggestions that you can give me? Posted By : Troy Jeffers Posted On : 4/3/2007

Documentation? Is there any documentation available for the JSSK? It seems very functional, yet I'm lost on certain parts. Thanks! D Posted By : Dylan Evans Posted On : 4/3/2007

Re: Documentation? Sorry just like most of the starter kits there is no documentation as such. If you are facing some problem please post them on discussion forum of this web site and we will try our best to answer them. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 4/4/2007

Re: JSSK Are you sure that you meet software requirements and have followed ALL the installation steps? If you still face any problem please post detailed error message, your steps, when exactly you get this error etc. on the discussion forum of this web site.

How to get the code Hi Mr. Joshi.I appreciate the afford you put in this project. I haven’t set up the project yet. I just wanted to know as new learners how can I able to get code of the project to understand the programme. Posted By : Robert Posted On : 4/13/2007

Re: How to get the code Just follow the instructions given in the installation instructions above and you will be able to create a new web site based on kit template. The web site will have all the source code and database. Also, make sure you meet the software requirements given above. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 4/13/2007

Website this is really useful Posted By : aman Posted On : 5/4/2007

Download Wow, I am just need something to reference! Posted By : Wright Posted On : 5/7/2007

Very Good But... This website is very well done but really is not a "starter kit" - maybe more of an "advanced kit". I would imagine any beginner to be overwhelmed by the amount of code, custom controls and just the size of the whole web app. There is no beginner, intermediate or advanced ASP.NET book (not even Unleashed) that even comes close to what is on the table in this one. I would recommend you be a somewhat experienced .Net Developer before downloading this. But it is very good - Monster.com would be proud (or jealous). Posted By : Ben Posted On : 5/8/2007

Ask about user and pass admin. Can you post username and Pass Admin for me? Thanks! Posted By : Snows Posted On : 5/8/2007

Re: Ask about user and pass admin. For Admin uid as well as pwd is admin. This is of course assuming that they are not changed after installation. You can see Welcome.htm for more details. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 5/8/2007

Matching Features Greetings, Does your JSSK provides jobs matching feature for jobseekers and resumes matching feature for employers? Thanks :-) Posted By : ascll Posted On : 5/9/2007

job good Posted By : Max Posted On : 5/9/2007

Re: Matching Features It has basic search but no extensive matching features as such. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 5/10/2007

Enhancement Greetings, Do you plan to come out the new version or enhance current version of JSSK in the near future? Thanks :-) Posted By : ascll Posted On : 5/10/2007

Thank You, Thank You and Thank You Bipin Joshi Thank You so many times, I have no more text don't know what to say... just it is exzaktly what I was looking for!!!! Posted By : Armend Posted On : 5/10/2007

Re: Enhancement Yes. We will be coming up with enhanced version in future. However, currently matching feature is not in our feature list. If time frame permits we can think of adding that. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 5/11/2007

SQL Server 2005 Std Edition Greetings, Since I had uninstalled SQL Express and installed SQL Server 2005 Std Edition on my machine, could I still run your JSSK on my machine? If yes, what would be the new "connectionString"? Besides connectionString, what other things I need to change if I created a database in SQL 2005 Std and named it "jobdb"? Kindly advise and thanks :-) Posted By : ascll Posted On : 5/15/2007

Re: SQL Server 2005 Std Edition Yes. You can do so. First of all attach the database file from App_Data folder inside your SQL server and then change the connection string as follows: data source=<yoour_server_name>;initial catalog=jsskdb;user id=<user_id>;password=<pwd>; Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 5/16/2007

hello very well Posted By : khaled ahmed Posted On : 5/17/2007

login breaks Hey Bipin..really usefull application Btw. Just one problem. As soon as I publish the application to IIS 6.0 the login mechanism breaks. Im unable to login using any of the preconfigured credentials. Im assuming it has something to do with Membership.validateuser(). The application works fine on the ASP test server Thanks in advance Posted By : varun Posted On : 5/22/2007

Thank you! Lovely and wonderful to see this.... Posted By : F Lacer Hayes Posted On : 5/22/2007

Re: login breaks By default it uses integrated security. That's why you might be getting the error. Try changing it to uid, pwd based security in web.config. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 5/23/2007

thnx Thanks in advance Posted By : Hassan Posted On : 5/28/2007

Can I use MySQL? This is my first look at .Net and need to build a site with some of the functionality. I don't need Jobs postings. I just need the ability for candidates to upload CVS and allow Recruiters to pay a subscriptin to search the database. Is this possible with this Starer Kit as to take subscriptions and uses as the basis for such a site. Also can I use MySql as the database? regards, jim mccann Posted By : jim mccann Posted On : 6/27/2007

Globalization & Localized Languages? How easy it would it be to localize this starter site for other languages? Any ideas? Please advise. Thanks. Sean Posted By : Sean Posted On : 6/27/2007

Re: Globalization & Localized Languages? No. The kit is not designed keeping this in mind. You need to do that job from ground up. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 6/28/2007

Re: Can I use MySQL? Just remove the unwanted job listing pages. This way job seekers can submit the resume but they won't see any job postings. There is no inbuilt provision for accepting payment or subscription charges as such. You can use MySQL for resume/job data but some ASP.NET 2.0 features such as membership, roles and profiles you may need to develop custom providers. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 6/28/2007

adding code so that one user can post multiple resumes. What code would I add to the postresume.aspx.vb to allow one specific user to add many resumes? Ps great kit...lots to learn from the JSSK Posted By : webdev Posted On : 7/11/2007

Re: adding code so that one user can post multiple resumes. You essentially need to make changes at multiple places. 1. In database currently there is one to one relationship between user and resumes. 2. Change Resume class accordingly 3. On UI make facility to see/edit multiple resumes.

Login Failed running in IIS During execute the application in my IIS server, it failed to login. Can you give some clearly explanation on this ? I saw your previous reply "Try changing it to uid, pwd based security in web.config." or try to clarify this ? Thanks in advance. Posted By : loop07 Posted On : 7/14/2007

Re: Login Failed running in IIS SQL Server comes with two modes of security - integrated and mixed. By default the kit uses Windows integrated security that takes uid and pwd of windows user. If your SQL server needs some explicit uid and pwd you need to change the connection strings like this: data source=<ip_of_SQL>;initial catalog=<name_of_db>;user id=<uid>;password=<pwd>; This change is to be done in <connectionStrings> section of web.config. There are two connection strings there. Change both of them as per your setup and requirement. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 7/16/2007

With Mysql instead Mr. Joshi, Thank you for the terrific sample program. I would like to use Mysql database instead of the Microsoft one. What do I need to do to accomdate this change? Best Regards -Jun C Posted By : Jun Chen Posted On : 7/31/2007

ok Verry good thanks Posted By : NightMare Posted On : 7/31/2007

Re: With Mysql instead The application uses inbuilt membership, roles and profile features extensively. So, you need to create a custom providers for MySQL. Then you need to translate st proc and data types as per MySql. Finally you need to change connection string in the config file. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 7/31/2007

How to view applied jobs (for jobseeker) and how to view submitted resumes (for employer)? Greetings, How to view applied jobs (for jobseeker) and how to view submitted resumes (for employer)? Kindly advise. Thanks ascll Posted By : ascll Posted On : 8/4/2007

Re: How to view applied jobs (for jobseeker) and how to view submitted resumes (for employer)? There is no inbuilt facility in the application to track these details. This is mainly because you don't apply for jobs via the application. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 8/6/2007

Final Steps I've got to the point where I've opened the project template in Visual Web Developer Express but not sure what I've got to do from there? Do I have to create a blank DB or users or anything? Bit new to this. More used to Dreamweaver Posted By : James Buller Posted On : 8/12/2007

Re: iis 6 error It seems that your folder is not marked as IIS application. Is it marked with a package icon in IIS? Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 8/13/2007

Re: Final Steps Once you install the application successfully then you will see a new project template in Create New Web Site dialog. Create a new site based on it. In the App_Data folder you will find the SQL Server 2005 express database file. You can open it either using database explorer or SQL Server studio. Also, read welcome.htm file for test user ids and passwords. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 8/13/2007

Are you able to login as jobseeker or employer correctly? Also see welcome.htm for correct user id and passwords. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 9/21/2007

Cannot delete posted jobs Dear Bipin Joshi, Thank you for your JSSK. I did some amendment on your JSSK to suit my needs and now cannot delete the posted jobs, and the other features work as it should be. Please guide me which part of the code I need to pay more attention in order to solve my problem. Thanks ascll Posted By : ascll Posted On : 10/3/2007

Re: Cannot delete posted jobs Just check if the related ODS has DeleteMethod set. Also, you can set a break point inside JobPosting class (Delete method) and see if control at all reaches there. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 10/4/2007

Re: Cannot delete posted jobs Thanks for your prompt reply. The ODS is well defined because IDE brought me to the breakpoint (in Delete method) just after I click the "Delete" link. Anyway, I notice that the "JobPostingID" always 0 (zero) in Locals/Watch just after the breakpoint, but I able to get the "JobPostingID" for my job "Update" method. Do you have any clue on this? Thanks Nelson Posted By : ascll Posted On : 10/4/2007

Very Interesting This Starter Kit has Solved My lots of queries related to my problem Posted By : Amit@M Posted On : 10/12/2007

sessionState mode="SQLServer" Dear Bipin Joshi, Thank you for your JSSK, it really great and it saves me a lot of time :-) However, the login session seems to timeout on an irregular basis, which mean it wills timeout at anytime. According to the support from web hosting company, the issue is occurring because JSSK pool is getting recycled due to high resource usage on their server. Whoever an application pool has reached the memory limit in place it is recycled and any session information that is being stored in memory is wiped out, hence JSSK user is redirected to the login page. They also claimed that this issue can be corrected by changing the session handler from inproc (the default) to sql server mode. This way JSSK session variables are stored in a sql database rather than in memory. In order to accomplish this, I have extended the database to include the necessary tables and stored procedures to handle the session state information. Below is the sample web.config that prepared by them, which will cause lot of error because they have taken out all the required parameters. I have tried to “merge” their web.config with your JSSK, but I believe I miss out something and the timeout session still strange. Kindly help me to merge 2 web.config together. Thank you very much in advance. <configSections> </configSections> <appSettings/> <connectionStrings> <add name="MyProviderConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=209.200.224.99; Initial Catalog=UserDatabase; Persist Security Info=True; User ID=DBUserID; Password=DBPassword;" /> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <pages validateRequest="false" enableViewStateMac="false"></pages> <compilation debug="false"/> <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms timeout="180" loginUrl="~/login.aspx"></forms> </authentication> <sessionState mode="SQLServer" allowCustomSqlDatabase="true" sqlConnectionString="data source=209.200.224.99;database= UserDatabase; user id= DBUserID;password= DBPassword " cookieless="false" timeout="180" /> <customErrors mode="Off" > </customErrors> </system.web> </configuration> Posted By : New User Posted On : 10/25/2007

Re: sessionState mode="SQLServer" Please note that JSSK doesn't store any session variables. So I guess your problem is something to do with cookie expiration. I saw your markup and noticed <forms timeout="180" /> tag. Why are you putting the timeout value to 180? Just check by increasing it to a very large value say 50000. Posted By : Shiva Posted On : 10/25/2007

Re: sessionState mode="SQLServer" Dear Shiva, The 180 in <forms timeout="180" /> is means that the session will expire after 180 minutes, and it is working fine on my local machine. However, on actual web server, this have been overwrited by web server's due to application pool has reached the memory limit on the server, and this explained why I need to store the session in SQL tables. Bipin Joshi, Any comment? Thanks. Posted By : New User Posted On : 10/26/2007

Very Good Work I really appreciate for good job. Keep it up Posted By : Rajesh Kumar Sharma Posted On : 10/29/2007

Re: Deploying and Modifying JobSite website 1. The kit adds a web site template to Visual Studio or VWD. When you create a new web site create an IIS based site rather than file system based. 2. Visual Studio 2005 introduced project less environment for web sites. You can create/open web sites using File - Create Web site or File - Open web site options.

Different Login Page Hi, First of all let me thank you for creating this starter kit and I'm a newbie. Probably there will be more questions, but can you help me on how to create an membership fee account for the member and employer? How can I have an automated matching? Thank you in advance. Posted By : Ruben Posted On : 10/30/2007

Re: Different Login Page Not sure what you mean by membership fee but if you mean a paid registration then kit doesn't have this as a inbuilt feature. You need to change the Profile section of web.config to add extra properties that you wish to capture during registration process. Also, the kit doesn't have automatic matching feature as mentioned in some comments. Posted By : Rakesh Posted On : 10/31/2007

The other catch without any exception parameter takes care of other types of non CLS complient exceptions i.e. not inheriting from System.Exception base class also (say some COM errors).

View jobseeker applied for their posted jobs Greetings, Could your system allows employer to view jobseeker who applied for the jobs that posted by themselve (employers)? Thanks. Posted By : ascll Posted On : 11/27/2007

Re: View jobseeker applied for their posted jobs No. This is because job seekers do not apply for a job via this application and hence the application has no way to track who applied where. Posted By : Shiva Posted On : 11/27/2007

Application Data Question Hi, I just got the exact kit I was looking for. However, when I was attaching the mdf file to my SQL 200 Server, the below error appeared: Error 602 Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 9, Object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes. Then the attachment process fails Thanks you very much in advance Posted By : Estelito Posted On : 12/14/2007

Re: Application Data Question Note that as mentioned in the software requirements the application uses SQL 2005 database. Since you are trying to attach it with SQL 2000 it might be causing the problem. Posted By : Shiva Posted On : 12/17/2007

Hi can i use sql server 2005 developer edition, for windows auth what will be the web.config conn string ,kindly revert Posted By : Munna Posted On : 2/7/2008

Re: Hi I am not a pro in ASP.NET but I guess you need to add <authentication mode="Windows" /> to web config file. If you are asking about db then just add integrated security=true in connection string instead of uid and pwd. Posted By : coding4fun Posted On : 2/7/2008

Re: Theme Customize You can create a new theme. By defalt the kit uses YellowShades theme. Look at the skins created in this theme and then design your new theme accordingly. Then open web.config and set new theme in <pages> tag. Posted By : Amrut Posted On : 2/21/2008

Job Site i've been able to run the app successfully in VWD 2005. it works great and i was able to create a job seeker and other data. however i created a virually directory 'JobSite' for it. i copied the code to it. it comes up okay but all/most the database access doesn't work. i attached through the SQL Srever Mgmt Tool to the MDF file. it appears okay but is there some authority or web.config changes i need to make? like i said it works great in VWD 2005. Posted By : lee Posted On : 2/28/2008

Re: Job Site The database connection string from the web.config specifies integrated security=true. You may change it to your SQL server based security. Just replace above attribute from connection string with user id=<your_sql_user_id>;password=<your_password> Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 2/28/2008

error after installing I am getting this error message after installing the templates. When I try to bring up default page, I get this error message: provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified. What is missing? Posted By : Rusty Owens Posted On : 3/30/2008

Re: error after installing Sounds like an issue with SQLEXPRESS instance on your machine. Are u sure that you have SQL Server Express edition installed? You can verify the connection strings from web.config to meet your machine. Another thing to try is expand App_Data folder and open the JsskDb in Visual Studio Server Explorer.

Re: Posting to website Have u transfered database to your hosting provider? You can use SQL Server DTS or MS Database Publishing Wizard tool to transfer database schema and data. Then change connection string from web.config to suit your new connection string. Posted By : Aditya Posted On : 4/6/2008

How can we adopt this system to languages with non-standart characters? First, thanks a lot for great product & effort. I was able to change dtabase properties for different languages and when I add/change records with non standart characters there was no problem; I can see them on visual web developer and when I browse site, I can see these characters as well. But, when I try to enter these characters directly in browser, I can see them first but when I refresh those characters convert to standart latin ones. I tried to change web.config and add: <system.web> <globalization requestEncoding="windows-1254" responseEncoding="windows-1254" fileEncoding="windows-1254" culture="tr-TR" uiCulture="tr-TR" /> </system.web> while everything seems ok, there is not any change occured.

The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine. Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application.
