It isn't wrong because it allows for future flexibility but you may want to create a user control for each of those items and just use labels and textboxes or whatever you want in the control. Then just add as many of the usercontrols onto your page. That may make management of it easier. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The inference I take from your answer, Luc (the answer seems "intuitively" correct to me), is that you could then iterate MyCollections, and, for each Collection in MyCollection, test for the presence of a specifc object using 'Contains. This solution also seeming to allow for the idea that you could also, then ... in the case of an object being a member of more than one Collection ... return a List of all Collections it was a member in, as well. However, I do think the OP's code is pretty weird. If you are going to add any type of object to a collection: that would seem to indicate a need to me for a generic (even "dynamic," late-bound ?) solution. thanks, Bill "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

Am I understanding you correctly, that you need the value to be part of the session as long as the user is using PostBack, but on a new page load, the session value should be empty? If that is the case, then you can do this simply like this void Page_Load() { if(!Page.IsPostBack) { Session["something"] = true; } else { Session["something"] = false; } } I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

hi guys, thanks for advice and info, but i found a way how to do this. so if anyone have same problem try this solution: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="sds" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:TestConnectionString %>" SelectCommand=" select DoctorID, PatientID, DoctorID as DocOldID, PatientID as PatientOldID from DoctorPatient" UpdateCommand=" update DoctorPatient set DoctorID=@DoctorID, PatientID=@PatientID where DoctorID=@DocOldID and PatientID=@PatientOldID"> </asp:SqlDataSource> <asp:DetailsView runat="server" ID="dv" DataKeyNames="DocOldID,PatientOldID" DataSourceID="sds" AllowPaging="true" AutoGenerateRows="false" AutoGenerateEditButton="true"> <Fields> <asp:BoundField DataField="DoctorID" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="PatientID" /> </Fields> </asp:DetailsView>

thx. very interesting solution....

i will try to simplify as much as i can what i wrote ahead. let's say i need WebControl that can manipulate data from database. WebControl should have 3 fields (columns). when editing or inserting data via this control, first field is plain text (TextBox), other two must be falling menus (DropDownList). in database i have 3 tables first table have this structure: ------------------------------------------ id | TextField | Foregin1_id | Foregin2_id ------------------------------------------ second and third have this structure: --------- id | name --------- i need to join first table with other two, then bind it to WebControl. so this is my work: 1. i created custom control (class) "MyGird" inherited from the System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid. 2. i created sql query select TextField, t2.name, t3.name from ( table1 t1 inner join table2 t2 on t2.id=t1.Foregin1_id ) inner join table3 t3 on t3.id=t1.Foregin2_id 3. i created some code in "MyGrid" that examines sql query, creates DataSet and fill it with all 3 tables, and finaly calls DataBind() function from it's base class System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid. After bind i have "custom datagird" MyGrid. i can edit MyGrid and manipulate (insert, delete, update) data from first table of database in many ways, depending on "some code i created". so the "problem" is that this "some code i created" is not very "nice". some parts of code is hard to read. globaly this approach doesn't feels right. so question is; can i use DataRelation for joining data from more tables instead of using sql join? DataRelation seems to me like thing i have been mising for creating "MyGrid" in right way....

As I understand it: The first is better in terms that the search engine will pick up the language (en, hr, de). but the second will provide a better grading relating to the search terms "news". Better still would be to implement url rewriting to create links like "news/lang/en". Neonlight

Are you using Microsoft SQL Server? If yes, you could use the following query (you have to adopt it to your db): ;WITH MyTable_CTE(Name, Ranking) AS ( SELECT Name,Ranking = DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY Name ORDER BY NEWID() ASC) FROM MyTable ) DELETE FROM MyTable_CTE WHERE Ranking > 1 Hope this helps Regards Sebastian It's not a bug, it's a feature!
