You have to go through a couple of hoops and agree to be marketed to by Microsoft, but you can download Virtual Server 2005 Enterprise Edition for free: ...
Web Application Projects allows Visual Studio to return to its ways of old. In VS2002 and VS2003, web sites had an application project much the same way that...
I am working with an event hook into a class that returns several different types of values within its "e.ReturnValue" value and I only care about one specific...
So if I am trying to see if a user has entered a valid date in a text field, I would write: DateTime myDate = txtDateField.Text as DateTime; if myDate is null...
Not exactly. In your case, you are converting from one type to another (string to a DateTime). You will have to explicity convert the txtDateField.Text to...
Huh? You lost me on this. What my take-away is that the cost of understanding all the subtle nuances of this far exceeds the value of knowing it. So what if a ...
Sounds like the difference between an artist and tradesman. -Wayne ... From: BellinghamDotNet@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BellinghamDotNet@yahoogroups.com] On...
Wayne, Well said. I am too old and too lazy to pretend to be an artist any more. After decades of trying to get my strokes by having people say "Wow, what ...
Looks like I opened a can of worms here. That was not my intention. I enjoy learning all that I can about ASP.NET & C#. I get a kick out of understanding what...
Consolas is one of a number of new fonts that ship with Vista. (And was the only reason that I installed one of the early builds of Vista.) Microsoft has now...
The new Web Application Project model has been released. While new for VS 2005, WAP is in many ways a return to the old ways found in VS 2003. You can now set...
Andy, The WAP looks like both a powerful and dangerous tool. Have you used it yet on existing 2005 projects? What happened? How does this impact the ...
Bob, I have been using the release candidate for 2 or 3 weeks on a project that contains a couple of web sites and a couple of class libraries. No issues other...
I am reading a project spec that indicates the application should contain no unmanaged code. According to Microsoft, managed code is code that sits on top of...
I figured as much. Looks like I'm rewriting this thing. Thanks Wayne. ... -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger...
I am working on a project now for a client that requires all managed code. I have rewritten about 60% of the code and functionality in C# and have now come to...
Thanks for the e-mail Wayne. I am not writing the software that is to be executed. All I know about the exe is that it loads user information for a POS...
I tried opening the exe on the server by double-clicking it and got the following error: "%E: Cannot find "\Ent=' parameter on the command line." So there is...
I have a page that contains two pairs of GridViews and ObjectDataSources and a third table (with lots of dynamically created LinkButtons) all three linked in a...
Andy, The ODS code I sent you is heavily instrumented with TRACE statements that write to a log, just so I could follow the sequence of event firings. I ...
I am working on an application that is going to handle many different permissions for users. I am trying to clean up the code that the previous developer left...
nevermind. ht.Add("KeyName", dataread["KeyValue"].ToString().ToLower()); Worked for me. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to...
Will, There is some flexibility with SQL bit columns and how you access and set them. Internally, the data is all stored in the same 1 or 0 format. Is the code...
That's what I ended up doing Wayne. Now I guess this leads to my next question. I have a series of checkboxes for my user configuration page and a check will...
This should work: cm.Parameters.Add("@Remote", SqlDbType.Bit); cm.Parameters["@Remote"].Value = cbRemoteTrans.Checked if not his is the cleanest alternative: ...
