Sounds like you have a null value somewhere. Can you post the section of code that's giving you trouble?

I'm still learning about HTML5/CSS3, but here's an article I found that might help (scroll down to the "Controlling Playback with Javascript" section): http://www.elated.com/articles/html5-audio/[^]

There is a good article on this on the MSDN site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.ispostback(v=vs.110).aspx[^] Check it out. :-)

I'm using Windows authentication, but I will try it with a username and password. I am curious as to whether we can still use Windows authentication or not?

Thanks for your feedback Richard. I tried the changes you suggested, but the error persists. I also tried rebooting (just in case), but I'm still getting the error about connecting to the database. I think it also bears mentioning that I've already tried uninstalling and re-installing SQL Server 2008, as well. Andre

This is the website I build. The link is direct to the demos page, but feel free to look around the site and offer suggestions: http://xtraordinayr.net/CVAppsDemoIntroPage.aspx[^] I appreciate any suggestions that are constructive and will help me enhance my skills. Thanks. Andre

Greetings and Salutations: I'm a junior level developer seeking to continue my career in software development. To that end I've created my own website and posted a few small applications, to demonstrate my skills. I'd like to get some [constructive] feedback on my work, but I'm not sure which thread I should post the link to my site in. Would it be OK to post here? If not, could someone suggest where the best place to post would be? Andre

Yes indeed! I was well over 90 here in NC yesterday. I was planning to go to the lake today, but it clouded up last night and is threatening sever thunder and lightening storms. Gonna just stay in and work on my CV. ;) Though I might go play pool later.

I think I've really gotten off on the wrong foot here. My goal was to reach out to find out where there are companies hiring, but, unfortunately, the title of my post seems to be a point of contention. It's ironic, to me, that only a year ago the words "laid off" were met with sympathy and understanding; because of the economic climate of the time. Clearly that is no longer the case (even though, today, the economy is still recovering). Even though one does not get a second chance to make a first impression, I will, nevertheless, begin again: I'm a junior level developer seeking a new opportunity to leverage my skills. Though I've been recently laid off from my job (due to budget cuts) I am still very enthusiastic and eager to continue getting my hands dirty with coding. I am also a career changer, who started out in IT on the help desk side of the industry. But I've always had a passion for coding, taking time to learn all I could about .NET and C# (and a little Java thrown in for good measure). I also know a bit about T-SQL (I love writing stored procedures). In an effort to boost my marketability, I designed and published a CV website, to showcase some of my work. It is always a work in progress and I'm in the process of adding some new apps to it. It can be found at: http://xtraordinayr.net/CVDefaultPage.aspx[^] I've also got a few blog posts on WordPress here: http://astevens009.wordpress.com/ I've also posted my resume to Dice, Indeed and Craigslist, and I'm working with a few recruiters who have given me some good leads. However, I am still reaching out to others within my network, just to cover all the bases. If you know of any junior developer opportunities (specifically in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill areas) please let me know. Thanks. Dre

The company (small sized) is cutting back due to budget issues. Unfortunate, but such is the way with business these days. I've got my resume out on the job boards, and I've had recruiters calling, but I find that the best way to get actual interviews is to network with folks. So I've been reaching out to all my networks to see if anyone has heard of any opportunities.

Yeah, but it seems like the economy is turning around. I just completed courses Java, so I have that under my belt; and I'm gearing up to add some more demos (showcasing my Java skills) to my CV website. I've got my resume out to a few sites and I'm working with a few recruiters. I just wanted to reach out here and see if anyone has hear of any opportunities for junior devs. :)

Please don't take this the wrong way (I'm just trying to understand why you're asking), but is that really relevant? Whether the reason is cutbacks, the company closing or any other reason, I still need a new job.

Geetings all. I was recently laid off from my job and I'm looking for my next gig. I'm looking for entry/junior level roles in C# ASP.NET and T-SQL. I also have some skill with Java, HTML, CSS and Javascript. I currently live in Raleigh, NC and would prefer opportunities here (i.e. Research Triangle Park); but I'm willing to relocate if relocation expenses are covered. Please drop me line if you know of any opportunities. Thanks.

I'm trying to look at the class diagrams generated from my code in VS2010 Express, but I don't see a toolbar or window under any of my menus. I checked online and found the following from MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg269474.aspx Does anyone know if this works on the Express edition of VS? If not, can anyone recommend a (free) tool that can help? Thanks.

I'm teaching myself Java with one of the "Teach Yourself Java..." books, and I'm up to the chapter on Threads. I want to be sure I understand the concept properly. Is it safe to say that first you start the thread which then calls the run() method which houses the actual method you want to be threaded? Please let me know if I have this concept correct. Thanks Dre---
