Thank you for the reply, I had not loaded the project files to the host server due to the error that was coming up, but I will give it a go now. Thanks again. An American football fan - Go Seahawks! Lil Turtle

Thanks for the recommendation Andi, I'd actually ordered this book after reading a bit of Larson's blogs on the subject. Between the two of them they seem to have the nuts and bolts figured out. Cheers An American football fan - Go Seahawks! Lil Turtle

There's a tool called Fiddler[^], but I can't get it to work on my machine. You might have better luck though! - S 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on!

I can't remember which property of the UpdatePanel that caused me to slow down a while back. I think it was ChildrenAsTriggers. Play around with the few properties it has as it turned out to significantly reduce the amount of time it displays. Also, try not to use the DataBoundEvent if possible. You can tweak most of column properties from the eval & '<%# ... %>' code. I found it is faster to use IIF statements with in the '<%# ... %>' than the code behind event.

I tried to bind the FormView, with no luck:(( I solved the problem by statically declaring a GridView column to be Visible depending on the state of the order, but I don't like having to to do this.:( Thanks for the replies. An American football fan - Go Seahawks! Lil Turtle

Thanks for that. I've just configured that... let's see how it goes. cheers

I am starting to use Subversion as a replacement for Visual Source Safe, and it is so much better. It's a great back-end source control system. I am using TortoiseSVN as a client. TortoiseSVN is a Windows Shell extension. You can also get settings to integrate TortoiseSVN into Visual Studio. One of the big differences between Subversion and VSS is the versioning system. It's much better to read the Subversion doco than for me to try and summarise it for you. But I reckon the Subversion versioning scheme is great. I wouldn't call myself an expert by any means, but I am really impressed with how intuitive Subversion and TortoiseSVN are to use.

Good to know, Thanks. An American football fan - Go Seahawks! Lil Turtle

It really depends. I've been with three companies since I graduated in 1995. Two don't/didn't care at all about certs and one did. The one that did was a consulting company. Also keep in mind, if you get the MS cert and interview with a Java shop, they likely won't care about the MS cert...and vice versa. I guess the safe bet is that if you can afford to get the certs, it couldn't hurt to have them. - HaleRazor ____________ Always try to have a positive impact on those around you.
