Looking for Microsoft Index Server ASP.NET samples

i am not a programmer, but i can frankenstein code snippets with sufficient proficiency that if, by the grace of a few good souls, i could come across some sample ASP code that acts as a GUI to the ms index server, i could certainly make it work and look good.

if anyone can offer any help, i would do a backflip. but i won't put it on youtube. there's enough faceplant videos out there.

summary: does anyone know where i can find index server asp pages? the more complete, the better. snippets are more than welcome.

btw: io tagged this as sharepoint since this is so similar. some moss admins will certainly be able to lend me a hand!

To talk to an index server catalogue from asp.net you can use an ole db connection object.

OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=MSIDXS;Integrated Security .=;Data Source=" + catalogName);
            cmdQuery = new OleDbCommand(query, conn);

Where catalogName is the name of the catalog on your machine you are querying. And query is a string containing the index query you are using.

 //Get reader 
 rQuery = cmdQuery.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);

 //Create dataset and load values from reader into it
 dataQuery = new DataSet("IndexResults");
 dataQuery.Load(rQuery, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges, new string[] { "" });

 //Return the first table which will be the results from the query
 results = dataQuery.Tables[0].Copy();

Don't forget to dispose of the connection and reader in a finally statement :)

Index query itself is very similar to SQL - you can also set properties in the query to be used as aliases so it is easier to read.

How about some samples from CodeProject? Would that suit your needs? I'm sorry I can't offer any more specific help without knowing more details and what you are trying to do.
