Hi, if a text file is encoded using ASCII or ANSI or some other 8-bit character set, then zero-testing looks acceptable. if a text file is encoded using some 16-bit encoding scheme, then zero bytes can occur in text files (e.g. the char 0x0100, 0x0200, etc). You could check the first few bytes of the file, Unicode/UTF8/UTF16 use special values here; if these match you might assume it is text and skip further testing (and once in a while such assumption will be wrong); if they dont match you could assume it is an 8-bit encoding, and do the zero test. Whatever you do, since 100% confidence will not be achievable, I see no point in checking more than a few hundred bytes before deciding text/no text. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles] [Forum Guidelines]

Hi, I didnt get your requirement correctly.like its up to you where you want to save perticular file on sever. see this article i think it will help for u. http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/fileupload.asp Nikesh nikesh

No problem. It's easy to overlook simple things in one's own code (I do it more often than I'd care to admit). That is one of the great values that comes from having others review your code (particularly when having a problem) - they will often see things you are temporarily blind to. We need to graduate from the ridiculous notion that greed is some kind of elixir for capitalism - it's the downfall of capitalism. Self-interest, maybe, but self-interest run amok does not serve anyone. The core value of conscious capitalism is enlightened self-interest. Patricia Aburdene

Hi, Mr.Mackay, I Do appreciate the help provided by people by taking time for it from their busy schedule. But, I did mean to blaim any one for not getting reply. It's just that I was desperate to have answer because I've to finish this project in 10 days. I'll surely consider your suggestion of joining Microsoft support for urgent answer. But, As long as I am a student, I can not afford it. I joined this forum because, I found it very authentic and rich with knowledge. Anyway...I'll take care in selection of forum before i post. Thank you. Hi minhpc_bk, I am very very thankful for the reply.. Just what i wanted... It is running fine now... earlier i was thinking to pass parameter as http://vyaskn.tripod.com/passing\_arrays\_to\_stored\_procedures.htm but it requires stored procedure.. Thank you very much for solution.

Hi, Thanks for the answer. I found one alternate way to do it as someone suggested me from Asp.net forum. But, Your reply made me think about the simple mistake i was making. I had provided Comma between values but I did not provide quotes between value. Hence, each guid was compared to entire string i suppose. I'll try to put 'guid','guid' format as well. Thanks

Maybe this will be helpful? http://drupal.org/node/19983[^]

you can do it in two ways: 1. (preferably this) on client using javascript: add onchange attribute to dropdownlist and call a javascript function showHideButton like.. add attribute in code behind: dropdownlist.attributes.add("onchange", "javascript:showHideButton(this.selectedIndex);") javascript: function showHideButton(index){ if(index > 0){ // i am assuming you have --NEW-- at zero index document.getElementById("createuser").style.visibility = "hidden"; document.getElementById("createuser").style.display = "none"; document.getElementById("updateuser").style.visibility = "visible"; document.getElementById("updateuser").style.display = "block"; } else { document.getElementById("createuser").style.visibility = "visible"; document.getElementById("createuser").style.display = "block"; document.getElementById("updateuser").style.visibility = "hidden"; document.getElementById("updateuser").style.display = "none"; } } in the above case you have to create two buttons and hide one on loading of the page.. i suggest you to create only one button and change its text to Create User ot Update user on changing the value of list... on click event of button in code behind check its text and act accordingly.. 2. on server side: set autopostback=true for the dropdownlist. then write a onselectedindexchanged handler in code behind and set visible=true or false for each button depending on selected index of the dropdownlist.. -----

Thank you Al. Just what i wanted to know. I will look into Profile and will surely ask you if i need further help. Really Appreciate your help.
