Hello John,

Thank you for your feedback. We are not related to Visual WebGui in any way other than having used it on projects years ago.

A Wisej app will use more memory than an ASP site but a lot less CPU load. Of course it depends a lot on how the app is developed.

However, Wisej can scale easily and it has a built-in healthcheck system that allows a load balancer to skip an instance depending on configurable parameters: active sessions, memory usage, CPU load.

Wisej is primarily designed to build Line of Business applications, not web sites. It’s hard to compare with an ASP app in a simple scenario.

And we have a cool self hosting or standalone feature here: https://wisej.com/blog/self-hosting-and-standalone-web-apps/

I don’t see any javascript errors, only a few warnings, mostly about unreachable code in qx.js.  What should I look for after enabling “debug”: true?

With Firefox, I see a lot of unsupported client errors:

020141 Unsupported client: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0! Assumed gecko version 1.9.0.0 (Firefox 3.0)

That was enlightening though.  I usually test with Firefox, but I tried Chrome, and Edge, and the app works as expected.  Actually, with Edge there are a few problems, but they aren’t as significant as this problem.

Please let me know what else I can do to help resolve this.  I can probably coordinate access for you to the app and even the server, if you’d like to play with it directly.

When I do Application.ServerVariables[“REMOTE_HOST”] all I get back is ::1 same with REMOTE_ADDR.

Any advice?

All the server variables are available here: Application.ServerVariables.

UserHostName is Application.ServerVariables[“REMOTE_HOST”]

UserHostAddress is Application.ServerVariables[“REMOTE_ADDR]

We should probably add the HttpRequest.User* properties to Wisej.Base.Application. Will log an enhancement. The properties end up returning the standard server variables anyway.

That issue also began to happen to me, thank you if a new release soon today…
I would like to know the reason that it started to appear
I am also interested in the today’s prereleased version, please
Thanks in advance!

Hi Luca,

I have attached the icon I would like to use.

Also I am using 48 font and the drop down list is not the same size as the combo box font.  How would I make this the same size.

Thanks,

Hi Frank,

if expected new realese can be delivered today I can wait. otherwise I need pre-release build please.

thank you. 🙂

Hi Adil,

yes, this problem has been logged as WJ-8248 and is already fixed but not yet rolled out in a new build.

Please let me know if you need a pre-release build, otherwise I expect a new release either today or tomorrow.

Best regards
Frank

Hi Franck,

I think the best would be that I show you.

Then, we’ll post the answer here.

Please send me some possible times for you.

Regards.

Hi John,

glad you found the download link.
It should also work on the Download Now button in the email.
Maybe it was blocked by your mail client ?

Best regards
Frank

Hi Ben,

Can you please send your wisej-server.lic to me at frank(at)iceteagroup.com so I can take a look ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Frank

Hi Pierre,

I was trying to reproduce this, but it works fine here.

Can you please share some more details or a test case we can use to reproduce ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

The OWIN approach is an interesting concept for different deployment scenarios. Here is our licensing model if you want to deploy Wisej projects as a self-hosted app:

• Wisej desktop apps can be deployed without additional costs for all local requests. When receiving a request to localhost, Wisej doesn’t check for a server license.
• When either the standalone or self hosting process respond to external (non localhost) requests, Wisej checks the server license exactly as it would do with any deployment.

If you have to deploy a number of “micro servers”, please contact us to discuss the different options. We have the ISV unlimited deployment for up to 5 concurrent users that is inexpensive and it’s designed for small low-cost deployments for which the self hosting feature is a good fit.

We have special ISV prices for unlimited distribution and/or discounts on volume. Contact joe (at) iceteagroup.com or use https://wisej.com/isv-plans/
to register as an ISV.

Besides that, we’d be happy to hear about your experience with Wisej OWIN and other deployment scenarios. Please share how you use it to help us improve and extend Wisej.

Best wishes

Nvm…Found the download link on the summary page after I registered. But you still need to fix that email link.

Thanks,

Got it. If you set Invalid=true in the Validating event Wisej probably sets it back to false since it expects e.Cancel to be set to true to indicate that the control is not validated. Try the Validated event instead. I can see if we can detect the change to the property and preserve it instead of relying only on the Cancel property.

Thanks so much Luca.  I am able to produce results using the method you say.  But I was trying to dynamically set both properties in the text box validating event.  And that doesn’t seem to work as I would (perhaps mistakenly) expect – perhaps due to sequencing of events.  However it does work the way I was seeking in the LostFocus event.  So that works for my needs.

Thanks very much!

Hi Luca,

Thanks for your comprehensive answer.

I’ve read a lot about NGINX vs Apache. NGINX  was designed to solve the C10K/C10M issue and uses asynchronous, non-blocking, event-driven connection handling algorithm. It scales far better than Apache and is the choice for load balancers and/or frontend proxy for other web servers.

If the web server is Microsoft.Owin.SelfHost and we just need a frontend proxy, I’d say NGINX is the way to go as it’s much better at this job than Apache.

Hi Matthew,

I just tried with two textbox controls on a page, set their InvalidMessage property in the designer to an error message, then in a button click handler I set their Invalid property to true. The result is the textbox controls with a red border and when you place the cursor over the controls you see the error tooltip with the message.

Basically, when you set Invalid = true, Wisej applies the “invalid” state which is styled in the theme. You can decide how to decorate invalid controls. The InvalidMessage is set to the invalid tooltip. The invalid tooltip can also be themed. See the Controls page in the ThemeBuilder.

When you handle the Validating event and set e.Cancel = true, Wisej sets the Invalid property to true, with the same result as if you did it in your code.

The error provider is different, it adds an icon next to the invalid controls.

With a theme mixin targeting this appearance key combobox/button/icon.

The svg icon that we use has a large margin, so you may need negative margins. If you send me the dimensions of the icon you’d like to use, or a different icon, or simply an image of what you’d like the combobox to look like I can post a theme mixin.

Best,

Luca
