i think you can do that in plain HTML Refresh <a onclick="location.reload();" href="#" title="Refresh">Refresh</a> Regards

:cool: you found one :zzz:

a sample could be helpful. practically i think there will be a problem if the ajax is calling an ascx. the ascx will be embedded in some page thereby causing the response going to the page. regards

i think in these cases you cant know how much time the query will take. better is to show a progress bar image..which keeps on resetting itself every now and then..and as you said move to page C when query returns ! this is what we see on most sites. Regards,

thanks... atlast something that is useful.. additionally i would like to mention that the server controls when changed in Javascript will obviously retain their original property after a postback :-) Regards,

hey buddy can you please clarify what you are trying to do. do you want to export data on click of link ?

onmouseover = "this.style.backgroundColor = 'red';" remember to set it back to what it was else it will stay red :) Regards

you can close the window without an alert. just use this <script language=javascript> function closeornot(){ window.close(opener=0);return true; } </script> put this where you want to call the function onclick="return closeornot();" this should work as expected. :-D Regards

you can use 2 0r 3. admin checking is unpractical as you donno the number of updates the admin will need to do. but you must remember one point though. if you use an sql SP or Trigger then it will be deferred real time. it means that the user is not presented REAL TIME data. this will happen if at all anything that is to expire can be set at a variable time (egs: schedule, alarm, etc) If you do it on form load then you might stress the DB every time the page loads. so its a compromise what you want. hope that helps :-)

Hello, If you are good at programming then i suggest that you read web basics and straightway start coding. Note that your trusted partner for any web help is http://www.w3schools.com/[^] U wont need anything beyond that for the basic stuff. About Books..ASP.NET Unleashed is a nice 1 Regards, Amol

Thats a very helpful answer...or may be ur help side on leave today. Here is a nice article ...REMEMBER THAT THE CONNECTION STRING IS THE KEY...most of the stuff remains the same. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Work_with_Excel__VBNET_.asp[^]

http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/WhiteBoard.asp[^] I had written this article...you can use the concept for making chat application. I am in the process of developing the chat application , but it will take some time. -Amol

you can add a parameter to the close function. window.close(opener=0); This will remove the message. :-D Amol

From what you have mentioned it seems that you want to place Datatable columns one below the other. This is not possible and that is the reason we have the Datalist. Datagrid can be used columns in a Horizontal way only ! Amol

I always prefer using Visual Source Safe. It is very reliable and also allows to compare files that were never ever stored in the VSS Amol
