RDP RWW Remote Desktop Remote Web Workplace SP3

2008-07-12T23:58:24-04:00:00

There seems to be some confusion around the web about the Microsoft Service Pack 3 and RWW and RDP update.

Lots or people are thinking that Microsoft did something to break the RDP / RWW ( web components ) for Remote Desktop Web Component.

The fact is that Microsoft didn't really break the objects they just replaced them with a New Component and New Object Model.

This is an example of the classic / XP SP2 and below.

function ConnectRDPClassic(sServerName,sDomain,sUserId,sPassword,sStartProgram )
{

var resWidth = screen.width;
var resHeight = screen.height;

   MsRdpClient = document.getElementById("MsRdpClient");
   MsRdpClient.FullScreen = true;
   MsRdpClient.DesktopWidth = resWidth;
   MsRdpClient.DesktopHeight = resHeight;
   MsRdpClient.Width = resWidth;
   MsRdpClient.Height = resHeight;

   MsRdpClient.server = sServerName;
   MsRdpClient.Domain = sDomain;
   MsRdpClient.UserName = sUserId;
   MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings.ClearTextPassword=sPassword;

   if (sStartProgram=='')
           sStartProgram = '\"C:\\Windows\\system32\\notepad.exe\" \';

MsRdpClient.SecuredSettings.StartProgram = sStartProgram;
MsRdpClient.Connect();
}

Below is an example of executing the latest version of the RDP / RWW client.

This is how you would use the new version of RDP / RWW.

Note that I am using unescape on the sRDPFIle test like this unescape(sRDPFile);

I actually passed the RDP file contents to this function the data is url encoded why does it have to be this way im not totally sure but it works like a champ. If you need an example let me know.

Also note

function ConnectRDP61(sServerName,sDomain,sUser,sPassword,sRDPFile)
{

var resWidth = screen.width;
var resHeight = screen.height;

   //Get Pointer to Object to Execute
   MsRdpClient = document.getElementById("MsRdpClient");
   MsRdpClient.FullScreen = true;
   MsRdpClient.DesktopWidth = resWidth;
   MsRdpClient.DesktopHeight = resHeight;
   MsRdpClient.Width = resWidth;
   MsRdpClient.Height = resHeight;

   //Device redirection options
   MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives     = false;
   MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters   = true;
   MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPorts      = false;
   MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectSmartCards = false;

   //Set Settings and passed RDP File Content
   MsRdpClient.MsRdpClientShell.PublicMode = false;
   MsRdpClient.MsRdpClientShell.RdpFileContents = unescape(sRDPFile);
   MsRdpClient.authenticationlevel = 2;
   MsRdpClient.negotiatesecuritylayer = 1;
   MsRdpClient.promptforcredentials = 0;

   //Set User Credentials
   MsRdpClient.TransportSettings2.GatewayDomain = sDomain;
   MsRdpClient.TransportSettings2.GatewayUsername = sUser;
   //MsRdpClient.TransportSettings2.GatewayPassword = sPassword;

//Execute the RDP Object
MsRdpClient.MsRdpClientShell.Launch()

}

Making a Client Customizable ASP.net Gridview

2007-07-01T19:24:42-04:00:00

Recently I had a request to change the column header in a gridvew report.

Instead of maintining a buch of custom reports I decided to allow the clients to update their own reports by way of XML

You can read the complete article here and you can see the code example below.

ASP .NET - How to customize web part title bar / WebPart Chrome

2007-06-24T00:24:55-04:00:00

Has there ever been anything so hard - but then again so easy?

You would think that this would be easier -

After much research I have come to the conclusion that there is no easy way to just set a property of a WebPart Title area and set the background to use an image.

It looks like to me that Microsoft left out a Property for the title area background image.

You would think that this would be easier - I can almost bet that Microsoft has had numerous request to add it.

I resulted to using a style sheet class

    <style type="text/css">
        .CoolBar {
         background-image :url(images/sweetBar.gif);
        }
    </style>

<PartTitleStyle CssClass="CoolBar" BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="White" />

Adding Onclick to an asp.net Wizard Control

2007-06-18T23:58:06-04:00:00

Well for anyone who wants to know I wrote up a little article on Adding Onclick to an asp.net Wizard Control Finish Button.

I was able to do this pretty easy with a JavaScript event listener.

It was real easy to do it this way, but I thought it was a pain in the neck because we don't really have access to the server side Finish Button as a property or method that I could find.

It also has an example in C# but it's easy enough to translate to vb.net

Enjoy
