Thanks for responding. That was the issue.

Thanks that worked!

Actually the data was in the tables. The application name in web.config should match the applicaion name in the asp_applications table.

I posted, in the question...there is a query string parameter there.

Ok. I will try seems to be pretty simple. Thanks.

I think the MasterPage.Master runs that line <asp:LoginStatus visible="false" CssClass="menu" ID="LoginStatus1" Font-Underline="true" runat="server"/> again. I would prefer using a session to store the login status On the MasterPage.Master Page_Load event, do a check on the status of the Session("loginstatus") so if it's "1" then visible = true if it's "0" then visible = False. Henceforth, and your Login_Authentication you can check if user login success then chagne your session to "1" =) Cheers hope this helps you~

has nothing to do with level. It's a matter of preference.

Thanks a lot. With the index it goes through the checkboxes that I have and not through the datalist items. For example using your suggestion: this.inboxDL.Items[1] CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)this.inboxDL.Items[1].FindControl("chkMarkerInbox"); Response.Write("check"); if (chkBox.Checked == true) { ddlTest.SelectedItem.Text = "works"; } Only when I click on checkbox with index[1] ddlTest will change to "works". But I have 5 more checkboxes which are not changing the state of ddlTest to "works". So it goes through the checkboxes and not the datalist items as I understand. Is it so? But I made it work as follows. This way I assume when it encounter non checkbox controls it does nothing and when it does with Findcontrol it stores true/false in the isDeleted variable. That's how I think the code works. bool isDeleted = false; foreach (DataListItem anItem in inboxDL.Items) { isDeleted = ((CheckBox)anItem.FindControl("chkMarkerInbox")).Checked; if (isDeleted) { lbDel.Enabled = true; ddlTest.SelectedItem.Text = "works"; } } Thanks again.

Ok. Thanks alot.

Thank you for the advice. As it turns out the membership control has a built in mechanism for it. I just recreated the control and it works.

Thank you. I will try it.

Thank you for the response. I can use the step into in the html as well. When you use <% %> it lets create break points, which I did. The problem is that it loops through the same record and doesn't go further than the first record. I don't know why.

I got the error after I clicked Run, and it says Build failed. I guess it compile erro. What's the difference between run time and compile.

Here is the code: protected void postBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlDataSource PostDS = new SqlDataSource(); System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox PostText = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)DataList1.FindControl("postComment"); PostDS.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ToString(); PostDS.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text; PostDS.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO GroupChalkboard (Text, GroupID, UserID, CreatedDate) VALUES (@Text, @GroupID, @UserID, @CreatedDate)"; PostDS.InsertParameters.Add("Text", PostText.Text); PostDS.InsertParameters.Add("GroupID", pid.ToString()); PostDS.InsertParameters.Add("UserID", Session["UserID"].ToString()); PostDS.InsertParameters.Add("CreatedDate", DateTime.Now.ToString()); PostDS.Insert(); }

Hi, No need to say thanks. One thing I would like to remind you that dont forget to set "AutoPostBack" property of DropdownList to "true". Thanks and Regards, Chetan Ranpariya
