I have a user control I'm adding to a placeholder control - and only the first user control is placed properly on the page after rendering. Here is the html fragment where I add the placeholder to the page. then i dynamically add user controls to the placeholder. Only the first one gets placed properly on the page. <table> <tr> <td align="right"> <table cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td align="center"> <asp:Label ID="Label12" text="Select a different category: " runat="server"></asp:Label> </td> <td> <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListProductFamily" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownListProductFamily_SelectedIndexChanged" ></asp:DropDownList> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <asp:Label ID="Label13" text="(Your order quantities will be saved.)" runat="server" CssClass="notes"></asp:Label> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left"> <asp:PlaceHolder ID="FOBLocationOrderContainer" EnableViewState="false" runat="server" > </asp:PlaceHolder> </td> </tr> </table> In FOBLocationOrderContainer I add user controls - but no matter what alignment or left adjustment I make only the first control is placed correctly on the page. What do i need to do to get each user control to be left justified 20px from the left edge of a master page?

Yes I understand what you are saying - however I'm using flash code in my application that requires as input the name of an xml file with the data the flash application needs. I want to update this data in the xml file one time per day. So a file is required in this case - but I'm not sure of the best way to update this file only once per day.

Hi, I am updating an XML file (and I need to use a file because it's being used as input to a flash map (that i don't have code for)) - right now I'm implementing code that: -checks the date on the file - if a day or more old - then update the file - using an application object to lock the file and update it. But this application is on a server farm - so I have to have more than one copy of the file - but each will get updated using this way. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks in advance.

this is the line of code - some got cut off.

this.page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "cpjs", "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"wcpjs.js\" >");

thanks.

this.page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "cpjs", "");

and I have all the javascript functions I need in wcpjs.js. However I get object not found errors. If I replace the src=" ...." part with a test function like "function test(){alert('i hate javascript');}" then no problem no error. I have tried using src=\" differentpath\\wcpjs.js\" but to no avail. Still get errors. Have spent a full day on this now and am :confused::mad: X| If anyone can answer this - when I get rich I'll send you some big bucks.

Thanks - that's a good article.

Hello, 1. I was under the impression that cache.insert was thread safe. Is this true? 2. Also you cannot count on a cached item staying in the cache until it expires because it maybe be removed for memory reasons - true? 3. Are there rules of thumb for how much data is too much to cache? which would then just cause the cache to be continually shuffled with objects. I know it would be depend on many things...but if there any basic parameters? Also there are different patterns of how to implement caching one of which is called: Asynchronous pull loading - which is what I probably should use. It requires implementing a dispatcher to consolidate data, a cache and the business logic. I don't have lots of data consolidation to do but do have a situation where I want to pull data all at once into the cache, then expire on a regular and fairly infrequent basis. 4. Does this sound like the kind of pattern for me to use then? 5. Would the dispatcher then just be a method called asynchronously to pull data on the cache object expiration and then also as a callback if the cache object is removed for other reasons? Thanks for enlightening me on any of this.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the answer.

We have a webservice that seemed to be doing fine until it wasn't - and we are having a @@#$!! of a time figuring out what happened. We added "better" caching in and were fairly confident it was caching when it was supposed to and expiring when it was supposed to. The question is: how to do better upfront testing? How do you best go about stress testing your app before it embarasses you? Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the answer - but still one more question. So you are saying that the webservice with multiple dll calls - constitutes one process?

I have a very basic question. I have a webservice with method calls to methods within dlls and within the dlls I have added object caching - not page caching. My question is: will each user of the webservice have their own cache? Or are these objects that are cached in the same cache for all the calls to the dlls?

Thanks!

Thanks - this is just the type of book I've been looking for to know what's really going on.

Hey all - if I create an empty class in C++ what visual studio tools would help me to find what all gets created with that empty class? Example: class empty { }; I know four default functions are created - but what else ? and how can I look and see what those things are using visual studio? Thanks!

Hey there - what happens when someone creates a class: class empty{ }; I know there are the four member functions that would be created - constructor, destructor, assignment and copy. but what else? I was asked this in an interview and confidently replied with the four functions above - only to be told that really knowledgable C++ folks would be able to name anywhere between 6 - 9 things. Any other answers out there? I've looked online and in all my c++ books. Thanks!

Hi Thanks for the reply. I reread my question and I can see that it was confusing. What I'm asking is how to get an "inset" textbox - so that it looks like it is below the surface of the windows form - as opposed to appearing flat or appearing raised like a button. Hope I've expressed my question in an understandable way now. If not I'll send a screen shot. I'm running .NET 2.0 and I guess I'd like to be able to have inset textboxes on windows forms as well as web forms. Thanks!

It should be easy right? I want a textbox that looks like the one above where I typed my subject. Are these panels? Or how can you get this look with a textbox? thanks!! I love this place!

Marc, regarding your comment "That's true. But why should that affect my behavior or attitudes?" It doesn't have to nor am I saying it should. But I can see that if people took more control over their economic lives - they would direct more of what happens in the world. Not necessarily by trying to become rich and powerful but because every thing we buy, sell (work for), spend our time on, spend our attention on - gives power to some and not to others. As an example, What if nobody banked at Citibank anymore (they were part of Enron scandal, use untraceable numbered bank accounts in places like Luxemborg and the Cayman Islands, have been implicated in money laundering, mortgage fraud(subsidary of CitiBank) etc....) What if we absorbed more of the worth we produced? What if we directed our own retirement funds? Etc...Etc...
