Change part of the pathname in url using jquery - c#

I am working in an application where I am using localization. For localization both admin and user can change the language. If admin changed recently, that change will be affected to all users.
For Ex, Admin changed the language to en-US, so the url will be http://localhost:81/en-US/form
Then, If user trying to change the language, http://localhost:81/fr-fr/form like this, we need to redirect to http://localhost:81/en-US/form. I need to change that part alone in pathname.
I have tried like,
if (!data.Status)
{
// data.Data contains ("en-US") this part of url
var URL = window.location;
URL.replace("/" + data.Data, "/" + window.location.pathname.split('/')[1]);
}
So, Url changing like http://localhost:81/en-US not http://localhost:81/en-US/form.
If I try this in c# url will be like, url wil be like http://localhost:81/controller/view?languagetag=en-US/something
How can I change this part alone ??
Any idea to achieve this in script or suggest me to do in C#.

How to manipulate a url to access a parent directory

I have an asp.net web application that is being hosted on an internal network. In my testing environment of course it gets hosted out on localhost:01010/Views/page.aspx. now whenever I take it live the Url changes to server_name/folder 1/folder 2/views/page.aspx. what I am trying to do is get a new page to open up as server_name/folder 1/folder 2/Uploaded_Images/randomimage.png. Now I Can get the url, but as soon as I do a single ".Remove(url.lastindexof("/")+1)" it returns "server_name/folder 1/folder 2/Views". The I perform my second ".Remove(url.lastindexof("/")+1)"
and the it only returns "server_name/". I am ripping my hair out at this one and am hoping somewhere in the world a .net developer already has this built in. Appreciate all the help.
Also just to specify this is webforms and not mvc. also there is no ajax or page manipulation going on except for a response.write to open the new page.
You don't need the +1, this works:
var url = "server_name/folder 1/folder 2/views/page.aspx";
url = url.Remove(url.LastIndexOf("/"));
url = url.Remove(url.LastIndexOf("/"));
Or you could do it like this:
var parts = url.Split('/');
var newPath = string.Join("/", parts.Take(3));
I assume you are talking about URL's used as links to parts of your site and not physical paths on the file system.
In most cases, you should be able to use methods that construct paths on the fly. For example, in any of your .aspx files (or .aspx.cs files), you can use the ResolveUrl method, like this:
Some link
If there are any places where you need the full URL including the domain (like for email notifications or something like that) then what I have done is keep a static variable accessible to my whole application that gets set the first time Application_BeginRequest runs:
void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (SiteRoot == null) {
SiteRoot = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) +
(VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~") == "/" ? "" : VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~"));
}
}
That will pull the full URL from the Request details (the URL that the user used to access your site), without any trailing slash.

Can I use a format string in a URL to navigate to web page, replacing the specified portion of the URL?

I'm interested in creating some sort of simple C# application takes a user string and passes it into a target portion of the URL. For example, since user query is visible in the page URL DuckDuckGo
Example:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=web+browsers&ia=web
In this case, the URL shows that I searched for "web browsers". I would like the user to be able to pass any string to the application (via some kind of prompt that appears with the application is launched), and then launch a web browser and navigate to the target URL with the user input inserted into URL where the query is specified. (i.e., https://duckduckgo.com/?q=operating+systems&ia=web), where the user entered the string "operating systems".
So I would like to know which type of C# application to use that can interact with OS (Windows 10) and how to write the code for the the format String and the user prompt. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Your question is very broad so the best that can be done is give a broad answer. You mention "application" and "interact with the OS", so I'm assuming a native application, not a web app. A quick way to pull this off would be to Google for "C# Web Browser Example"; there are plenty of applications out there with well-explained source code that will answer your question:

As for the string replacement, Armine already pointed that out in his previous post. A simple textbox on your form, passed to some parsing code with string replacement, will do the trick for building the URL. The resulting URL is then passed to the web browser control you've used in your C# application; the URL will be one of the properties of the control.
The idea is to take what user typed as a string, and then create another string which will contain the words of that string, separated by the plus character (+)
String what_user_typed=" javascript jquery";
String query=what_user_typed.Replace(" ","+"); // A space represents a new word
String url="https://www.google.com/search?query="+query
After creating the url you can then use a webbrowser to open that url
I have not executed this but think this is what the logic should be.
string input = "operating system";
string destinationURL = $"https://duckduckgo.com/?q={input}&ia=web";
string formattedURL = HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(destinationURL);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(formattedURL);

Query String Parameter Being Lost on Request

i'm developing an MVC 4 web application.
I'm trying to make an url that changes in an authorized/unauthorized context.
I'm generating the following url for unauthorized user:
http://localhost/vendas-web/Login?ReturnUrl=%2Fvendas-web%2FClienteNovo%2FIndex%299999
The first time I've tested, it worked just fine.
But.. the second time I've tried, the query string got lost.. and the url turned into:
http://localhost/vendas-web/Login
When i test it against chrome on anonymous tab, it works FINE.
When i change the value of the last parameter, it works FINE.
There's some sort of cache related to this ?
What i'm doing wrong ?
Soo, my question is:
How do i keep my full url in any scenario ??
Ty
There's really not enough information here, but what you're likely talking about is that the first time a user needs to be authorized, they are automatically redirected to the first URL, which includes the ReturnUrl bit. That's built into the framework to allow the user to be redirected back to that URL after logging in. However, if you need to persist this past that initial first redirect to the login page, that's on you. Any links must manually add the query string param:
#Url.Action("SomeAction", new { ReturnUrl = Request["ReturnUrl"] })
And any forms must include it as a hidden input:
#Html.Hidden("ReturnUrl", Request["ReturnUrl"])
Otherwise, yes, it will be lost, because the literal URL you're now requesting doesn't include it. It's not just magically appended.
My problem was cache...
I've used this annotation to avoid using cache by application.
[OutputCache(NoStore = true, Duration = 0)]

How to maintain the right URL in C#/ASP.NET?

I am given a code and on one of its pages which shows a "search result" after showing different items, it allows user to click on one of records and it is expected to bring up a page so that specific selected record can be modified.
However, when it is trying to bring up the page I get (by IE) "This page cannot be displayed".
It is obvious the URL is wrong because first I see something http://www.Something.org/Search.aspx then it turns into http://localhost:61123/ProductPage.aspx
I did search in the code and found the following line which I think it is the cause. Now, question I have to ask:
What should I do to avoid using a static URL and make it dynamic so it always would be pointing to the right domain?
string url = string.Format("http://localhost:61123/ProductPage.aspx?BC={0}&From={1}", barCode, "Search");
Response.Redirect(url);
Thanks.
Use HttpContext.Current.Request.Url in your controller to see the URL. Url contains many things including Host which is what you're looking for.
By the way, if you're using the latest .Net 4.6+ you can create the string like so:
string url = $"{HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host}/ProductPage.aspx?BC={barCode}&From={"Search"}";
Or you can use string.Format
string host = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
string url = string.Format("{0}/ProductPage.aspx?BC={1}&From={2}"), host, barCode, "Search";
You can store the Host segment in your AppSettings section of your Web.Config file (per config / environment like so)
Debug / Development Web.Config
Production / Release Web.Config (with config override to replace the localhost value with something.org host)
and then use it in your code like so.
// Creates a URI using the HostUrlSegment set in the current web.config
Uri hostUri = new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("HostUrlSegment"));
// does something like Path.Combine(..) to construct a proper Url with the hostName
// and the other url segments. The $ is a new C# construct to do string interpolation
// (makes for readable code)
Uri fullUri = new Uri(hostUri, $"ProductPage.aspx?BC={barCode}&From=Search");
// fullUrl.AbosoluteUri will contain the proper Url
Response.Redirect(fullUri.AbsoluteUri);
The Uri class has a lot of useful properties and methods to give you Relative Url, AbsoluteUrl, your Url Fragments, Host name etc etc.
This should do it.
string url = string.Format("ProductPage.aspx?BC={0}&From={1}", barCode, "Search");
Response.Redirect(url);
If you are using .Net 4.6+ you can also use this string interpolation version
string url = $"ProductPage.aspx?BC={barcode}&From=Search";
Response.Redirect(url);
You should just be able to omit the hostname to stay on the current domain.

How to retrieve site root url?

I need to get the url of the site so that I render a user control on only the main page. I need to check for http://foo.com, http://www.foo.com, and foo.com. I am a bit stumped as to how check for all 3. I tried the following which does not work.
string domainName = Request.Url.Host.ToString();
if (domainName == "http://nomorecocktails.com" | Request.Url.Host.Contains("default.aspx"))
{ //code to push user control to page
Also tried
var url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + "/";
Any thoughts?
You need to check if the Request.Path property is equal to / or /Default.aspx or whatever your "main page" is. The domain name is completely irrelevant. What if I accessed your site via http://192.56.17.205/, and similarly, what if your server switched IP addresses? Your domain check would fail.
If you utilize the QueryString to display different content, you'll also need to check Request.QueryString.
Documentation for Request.Path:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest.path.aspx
Documentation for Request.QueryString:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest.querystring.aspx
If you need the user control to only appear on the main page (I'm assuming you mean home page), then add the code to call the user control to the code behind of that file.
If this code is stored in the master page, then you can reference it like:
Master.FindControl("UserControlID");
If you are only using the one web form (ie. just Default.aspx), then you can check that no relevant query strings are included in the URL, and display only if this is the case:
if (Request.QueryString["q"] == null){
//user control code
}
However if you are using this technique then I would recommend using multiple web forms using master pages in the future to structure your application better.
The ASP.NET website has some good tutorials on how to do this:
http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/master-pages
