Hello,

I have a test form with the following code:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim o As String
        TextBox1.Text = "HERE"
        Label1.Text = "Variables: "

        For Each o In Request.ServerVariables
            Label1.Text &= o & "=" & Request.ServerVariables.Get(o) & "<br>"
        Next
    End Sub

and it ignores it! I can't get it to utilize the page_load event! It just has the defaults. Now I have other events in it that it is triggering just fine. Anybody have any problems with this before? Could accessing the Request.ServerVariables problem (can't get it to return any servervariables) have anything to do with the MYDOOM virus (this code is on our development machine)?

Thanks,

Brian

MyDoom shouldn't have anything to do with it. You can read about it here:

And run the fix found here:

The '@' symbol is messing up the link. You will need to add the w32.novarg... to the end of the link.

Is the whole handler getting ignored or just the server variables part?

The whole handler. Looking at the above script, the textbox is blank and the label is blank.

Thanks for your help.

On those links, I'm getting a file not found...

Look for the symantec link.

So if you set a breakpoint in the handler, it never hits it?

You should see a line like

  this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

(or the vb equivalent) in the InitializeComponent() method that the
designer created for you. Can't imagine how that could fail to be there,
unless it got deleted by accident.

Hello,

You only have to declare an event handler in C#; VB.NET uses the "handles" keyword at the end of the method to link the function to the event handler (does C# have the "handles" keyword? I do not know so please pardon my lack of knowledge). Could it be that anonymous access was turned on, and that's why it wasn't accessing the server variables?

Thanks,

Brian

In VB.net you can use the Handles keyword or you can assign the handler programmatically. In C# you must assign it.

I'm not sure what you mean by your last question because anonymous access has nothing to do with accessibility to server variables.

Work smarter, not harder.

I thought so too, but I'm running out of logic... Anyways I scrapped this test page. I don't know why it wasn't working, but I got it to work in the rest of my application, so I gave up. What I needed to access was "Request.ServerVariables.Get("LOGON_USER")". Whenever IIS had Anonymous Access on, this was blank. Now that it is removed, I can access the User ID to implement my application security scheme.

Thanks for all of the help everybody,

Brian

PS. I completely forgot about the "AddHandler" method; I am so used to VS.NET putting in the Handles statement for me.
