Assuming you using the term "Desktop" to refer to only what you see on the screen, no it's not. It's actually part of two applications.

MCTS exams are stepping stones toward MCSD, and MCPD is a higher level than MCSD. If you read through the website you will see the list of exams necessary to attain each certification and see that both MCSD and MCPD have prerequisites of MCTS exams only two letters away from being an asset

You can use "buttons" that do not submit. Use HyperLink control. Use the ImageUrl property to set images, and NagivateUrl to set the page to navigate to. However, you won't be able to catch the click event in a postback, so you must pass any parameters in the NavigateUrl property. Regards, Leonardo Muzzi

Good evening. Thanks for your quick response ! So what you are saying is that i need to buy a subdomain and host the forum application separately ? Regards, Hris

I don't think that the issue is your button, actually, I think it's other controls on your form. You'd have to experiment to find out. I think that this line of questioning in Firefox is new, and so there's a collision. The FF people either didn't test it, or didn't care that it doesn't work nicely with ASP.NET sites. The alternative is that you have some sort of password text box on your form, for whatever reason, and that's the cause. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.

I actually didnt know "what i was looking for". Thank you.

So there is no actual way to do that by hosting only one web app. If i want to host 2 web apps, doest that mean i need a subdomain fr the other?

You can inherit code, but not markup. If you want to have a hierarchical control model, you would need to design your base controls to use either manually rendered html with helper methods that inject html rendered from child controls, or use control compositing and helper methods that allow child controls to inject their own content.

try this ... select top @recordsCount num from dbo.records where num >= @startIndex You may also be able to use something like this ... select num from dbo.records where (num >= @startIndex) and (num <= @startIndex + @recordCount) I haven't tested it, but it is probably close.

If you already implemented it and it is working I wouldn't throw away the logic. But if you encouter any problems at a later point I would think about refactoring. Regards Sebastian It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.

Maybe i didn't make myself clear. The project that i'm making requires that every day aroung 1000 to 5000 people are gonna upload / download files which are around 1 mb. I'm on a web hosting plan which requires $5 for each 5GB additional traffic. Which means 30x5$ = 150$ per month for additional web traffic and 5$ for each 5$ for each 500MB web space. You can immagine the sum. Since i ALMOST don't benefit from my web site, thats quite an expense. So some time ago i saw some FTP hostings which are A LOT more affortable ( The FTP traffic is much cheaper, the ftp space is much cheaper). So my main idea is to store those files on an that kind of FTP server. However i need logic so i can upload files on that FTP server. In my oppinion there are two ways to achieve this: 1) The client authenticates to the web server -> Uploads the file on the web server -> The web server uploads the file on the FTP server. However this method has a disadvantage - the web server will have to make twice as much traffic. Once for the client to upload data on the web server and once for the web server to upload data on the ftp server. 2) When the client is uploading the file directly upload it on the FTP server withought the intervention of the web server. However this means that "somewhere on the client side" is supposed to be stored the password of the FTP server ( so the client can upload the file ) However i think that there might be a another way. Like: The client authenticates to the web server. "Somehow the web server tells the ftp server that the client is gonna upload a file and the ftp server accepts the connection" ( Thats some really newbiesh way to explain it though ) Any suggestions ? Best wishes, Hristiyan

Thank you for your answer but that doesnt help me at all :)

I have been through this hell, and it is possible to write a program that will process a couple of different cards. However, I have done it with C++ and not C#. I will try to give you an idea of how to do this in C#. What I did, was that I had a Mifare and a 15693 contactless mix. The readers were made by entirely different companies. Each reader has its own dll and there is unmanaged code to and from the reader, so in C# you must use delegates for you methods. You must also add the references (dlls to the project). Then you create a reader object for every kind of reader that you have dlls for. I had a dll which was able to read and code to differentiate the various RFID technologies, and using that bit of code snippet, I was able to determine what dlls and reader objects to use. The SDKs were fairly expensive, but I can give you a C++ code snippet on how to determine the various technologies: (you will notice that this can determine 1so15693, 14443A, 14443B, iso8000, felica ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CIso_benchDlg dialog CIso_benchDlg::CIso_benchDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) : CDialog(CIso_benchDlg::IDD, pParent) { //{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CIso_benchDlg) m_tagid = _T(""); m_type = _T(""); m_iso15693 = FALSE; m_iso14443A = FALSE; m_iso14443B = FALSE; m_iso18000 = FALSE; m_felica = FALSE; //}}AFX_DATA_INIT // Note that LoadIcon does not require a subsequent DestroyIcon in Win32 m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME); } void CIso_benchDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) { CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX); //{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CIso_benchDlg) DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_DETECT, m_button); DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_TAGID, m_tagid); DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_TYPE, m_type); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CHECK1, m_iso15693); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CHECK2, m_iso14443A); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CHECK3, m_iso14443B); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CHECK4, m_iso18000); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CHECK5, m_felica); //}}AFX_DATA_MAP } BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CIso_benchDlg, CDialog) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CIso_benchDlg) ON_WM_TIMER() ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_DETECT, OnDetect) //}}AFX_MSG_MAP END_MESSAGE_MAP() ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CIso_benchDlg message handlers BOOL CIso_benchDlg::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); // Set the icon for this dialog.

I think your problem stems from a misunderstanding of the meaning of WS_EX_TRANSPARENT. It has nothing to do with visual transparency; it makes a window 'transparent' to mouse clicks. In other words, the click goes through to the window underneath. If you're trying to use the mouse to select such a window you are bound to get confusing results! You probably don't need that style at all. Phil The opinions expressed in this post are not necessarily those of the author, especially if you find them impolite, inaccurate or inflammatory.
