yup, started at about 8 this evening and Im now, at just before 1am, finally about 3/4 of the way through 'a download'. I wanna play, but I gotta get up in the morning. Could just be slow but the stats on the site dont seem as bad as they have been. I donno.

Steam is driving me mental! finally created an account after about 2hrs, and have been trying for the last 2 to login with it. Havent even seen the startup screen yet. Grrrrr

I need to add a checkbox column to a datagrid under certain conditions. The datagrid is template bound and due to too much going on at itemBinding I need to create and add the column when I data bind. Thing is the new column appears to added to alternate rows to the template rows, I think.... anyone got any ideas, or should I just give up and dynamically create all the required columns. If (amActionMode = ActionMode.Review) Then Dim dc As New BoundColumn dc.HeaderText = "reviewed" dgColumns.Columns.Add(dc) End If dgItems.DataBind() cheers

I have written a small time tracker app for my current employer for internal use, to save on logging in etc I have used the visitors windows account to authenticate the user and turned off anonymous access in IIS - problem: everyone in the office can view and use the site fine except one person sitting at a WinNT box. Same ie version, valid network account etc, just cant work it out. Does NT pass windows authentication details in a different manner or sommit? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. tia, rob

ans: disable anonymous access in IIS - :doh:

why does Label1.Text = User.Identity.Name; not return anything? authentication mode="Windows" in the config, on a network domain and loged into my machine!?! What am I missing, it works fine for others - ive seen it!

My parents have broadband (with blueyonder, UK) and despite being able to surf the web quite haply they cannot access their hotmail accounts. I have no idea why not. We have the XP personal firewall, Norton a.v. and I have run the latest addware just to make sure there is nothing on the machine that shouldn’t be there. All the i.e options look ok i.e cookies and security levels. Any one got any advice. Does it sound like there might be some settings I have missed or is it maybe on the ISP side, not liking https at the moment. I donno….. got any advice. tia Rob

build the solution first!?! Hit the wee play button in the toolbar, or Debug->Start.

I am having a real problem connecting to a Web Service from my PDA. The PDA is connected to a machine, with a net connection, via activesync and as there is no network I have a MS lookback network running. It works fine connecting to the service if its running on the local machine, I just point to the ip address on the 'MS Look Back' network. But when the service is hosted on the web I cant find the service. Any ideas. tia Rob

dock windows in my desktop in a vs-stylie manner? - that could be handy.

I was thinking about registering on RentACoder.com to build up my portfolio. Are many CP’er up for rent? What are your experiences? Would you advise this path? Any advice? Thanks for your time. Rob

Mybe Im just stupid, but I cant work out how to insert a new line in the text I wish to enter into a textBox (multiline = true) on the COMPACT FRAMEWORK. \r \n, nope , I need some help. tia

if you are binding to a control, pass the dataset to a dataview and you can filter by values in a colomn: c# DataView dv = new DataView; dv = MyDataSet.Tables[0].DefaultView; dv.Filter = "MyColomName = 'stringMatchExpresion'"; // Bind(); Hope this helps (hope i got the code close enough!!) www.fuxup.com[^]

I think it is one one the scot dev guys that is giving a compact framework presentation for the BCS (British computing Sociaty http://www1.bcs.org.uk/[^]) in Edinburgh tomorrow (Wed) evening. (though BCS member are likely to already be awair of this!!) Rob

yeh, thanks.

Not sure if this is the done thing, but would any of you pro CP'in's out there be willing to lend some cv advice, maybe even a seek peek at a cv or two? I am heading into the final few months of my honours year of a Bcs in HCS and the delightful task of finding employment beckons. I realise there are plenty of books, sites and other misc resources available, especially at university, but I’m really struggling to layout my programming skills and past project information & hons project. Lacking in industrial experience as I do (though I did work for 'uncle Bill' (Gates) for a year), I need to emphasise my interests and objectives, I guess. All advice would be greatly welcomed. tia Rob www.fuxup.com[^]

Edinburgh, Scotland. Yeh ok so up north you can occasionally see a wee twist of light or something better if you’re lucky. But I have never seen anything like this here before. Some of my friends pic of it here[^] here[^] and here[^]. I hope he dont mind me showing them off and yeh they are a little on the long exposure but still...

or role your own with the aid of this [^]MSDN article.

Doesnt it, or at lease as far as google goes, have something to do with the amount of links to your site by other sites on the web. www.fuxup.com[^]

I’m a bit of a nubie and looking for some advice, the code bellow works but looks like a bit of a hack. I know it's a 'WebMethod' its general enough. My concerns lie with the 'Populate product' section toward the bottom. [WebMethod] public Product GetProductById(int Id) { #region oleDbQueery // Connect to dataSource OleDbDataAdapter myAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(); OleDbCommand myCommand = new OleDbCommand("ProductByIdQueery", oleDbConnection1); myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; OleDbParameter parameterid = new OleDbParameter("Id",OleDbType.Integer); parameterid.Value = Id; myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterid); myAdapter.SelectCommand = oleDbSelectCommand1; myAdapter.SelectCommand = myCommand; // Populate dataSet #endregion DataSet ds = new DataSet(); oleDbConnection1.Open(); myAdapter.Fill(ds); oleDbConnection1.Close(); // Populate product Product myProduct = new Product(); myProduct.Id = Int32.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Id"].ToString()); myProduct.Category = Int32.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Category"].ToString()); myProduct.ShortTitle = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["ShortTitle"].ToString(); myProduct.FullTitle = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["FullTitle"].ToString(); myProduct.Price = double.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Price"].ToString()); myProduct.CurrentQuantity = Int32.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["CurrentQuantity"].ToString()); // return myProduct; } Sorry for the long snippit. My passed in 'Id' would refer to a unique db key so the dataSet 'should' only ever contain one row. Do I have to go via a dataSet to populate myProduct object? All comments greatly welcomed. tia
