Hi, thanks for the answer, but what I need is not about the common datalist control, I am creating my own datalist control via web server controls. So I am overwriting some of the common datalist controls' events. I need my datalist control to come with an itemtemplate by default. This itemtemplate will require some fields that will be provided by properties. There are two events while creating your own control 1. rendercontents 2. createchildcontrols I was unable to addd itemtemplate by these 2 events.. How could I manage this, I do not know at the moment. I hope I made myself clear now.

Here are a few things to try in whatever order you choose: Make sure your control is in the same namespace as your pages or specify namespace in references. Under the Build menu, Clean Solution, then rebuild. Remove the control from the project completely, build, add it back and build again. Create a new project file and add the pages and controls into it.

Thanks

Do other controls of the sample code are working on your system? if not, then, you may try re-installing Ajax Toolkit. If yes, Try to debug the code and find out what error it is throwing/ where it got struck.

Hi Abhishek, Are you dealing with this or shall I define an new entry, if you are no more dealing with that I need assistance from somebody else. Thanks alot.

Why not just check the check boxes and build the email from that ? I did not understand your suggestion, could you please clearify a little bit more? Thanks alot.

NO problem is not with the email it is okay, but when trying to render the page it gives that error.

Dim SB as New StringBuilder() Dim SW as New StringWriter(SB) Dim htmlTW as New HtmlTextWriter(SW) dgPopularFAQs.RenderControl(htmlTW) Actually I am looking for this, however I did not understand what this code is doing... and why I need htmlwriter besides a stringwriter... but in anycase I hope Page.render(htmltw) will solve my problem and will attach whole page to SB... Thanks again

hi Petr, Sorry for bothering again and again, MS JS Ajax library, is it supposed to be installed in VS08? Thank you..

If you need to force the user to furnish the score and then redirect back to the initial page, I would say use ModalPopUpExtender. It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD

thank you for the information, one more question what about putting icons instead of buttons?

good answer it seems exactly what I need. thanks

thank you. :)

there are two ways to achieve this.. if you are using ajax then you need to put gif like http://www.cis.uab.edu/forensics/blog/loading.gif[^] in your update progress control which is related to ajax update panel. or second thing if you want to handle it manually then you can show and hide it on start and end of each event manually.

use this.. Create this in page load and call the SelectedIndexChanged object sender1 = new object(); EventArgs e1 =new EventArgs(); DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender1, e1); event: protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { }

I guess it cant be done. Only you can disable the CSS validation if you want to. Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> CSS -> CSS Specific, Uncheck Detect Errors. Also go to HTML -> Validations - > Show errors. This way you can turn it off. Visual Studio doesnt support CSS 3 validations. Provided you can customize it to do so. check this http://blogs.msdn.com/mikhailarkhipov/archive/2007/10/19/how-to-create-custom-css-intellisense-schema-in-visual-studio-2005-and-2008.aspx[^] :rose: Abhishek Sur My Latest Articles **Create CLR objects in SQL Server 2005 C# Uncommon Keywords Read/Write Excel using OleDB **Don't forget to click "Good Answer" if you like to.
