but that doesnt solve my problem because you still have to call the javascript and pass a server side variable. Ive already setup the function in the head of the aspx page but in my repeater i have to break into a script block to call 'DeclareSWF'. How do you suggest i do that? Because in the 6 years ive been doing asp.net if never figured it out! :doh: Regards, Guy

Thanks for your reply mark. Ive been skirting around the tables and noticed this flag in aspnet_membership. The book ive been reading doesnt really go very deep into the membership stuff so i think maybe some more research is going to be beneficial. :-D ---Guy H (;-)---

Basically, if you want to have code to be compiled, you have to put it in app_code folder. exceptions are only pages (.aspx) and controls (.ascx) with their code behind (AFAIK). You can access code in app_folder from outside of this folder (page can call this code), but you can not access code outside of app_folder from inside (your library cannot access page). If you need to work with any of your pages / controls from app_folder, you have to create interface for it, put this interface into app_folder and your page / control have to implement this interface. Then you can call methods or access properties of your control / page using this interface, which is known to your code (it is in app_code folder). Pilo

anyone know about this? :sigh: ---Guy H (;-)---

It is possible through the use of url rewriting, and in a much more efficient way then using a 404 error as flow control. I linked several articles to get you started in my initial reply. --Jesse

this was my first idea but 'fell down the list' due to... 1. non integration with interdev or vs.net 2003 2. cost of new server AND new sql server licence AND cals for TS 3. we are a small company and it seems a bit too much to manage im still leaning towards sourcegear vault because... 1. good customer support (from what i hear) 2. integrates well with visual studio 3. uses sql server storage (reliable) 4. uses web services for all operations - hence its extendable by us if necessary! 5. low cost its only benefit over Subversion (which is free) is that it will be easier to manage due to it being an off the shelf product and it seems like the safer option.
