Gridview is the best control to use if you want a lot of fancy features for free. You can set the number of items per page in the datagrid. I would personally aim to write SQL that only asks for the record you will be looking at, then your data control only gets to see what you want to show.

Alright, many thanks again for the assist.

FreeTextBox[^] is a free WYSIWYG textbox control for ASP.NET. It does a lot more than just hyperlinks, but I doubt you're going to find a control that just does hyperlinks. You'd have to write one yourself using the DIV approach I mentioned earlier. Paul Marfleet "No, his mind is not for rent To any God or government" Tom Sawyer - Rush

why don't you do this from code behind...it is bit easier from there....... Ashish Sehajpal

What have you tried to access your data ? If a datatable has a limit to how big a column can be, perhaps you have to use a datareader to get that byte stream out ?

User Control Won't be going to help anymore. And Yes First U.C will be loaded and then Page. Put a Break point on U.C's Page Load. U will get it. Believe Yourself™ :->™

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am just looking for something which allows the user to select the color they want. I just want to pop up a little box, with many colors for the users to select. (Something like MSPaint) Is there such a control in VS.net 2003? Thanks

I think the same code will work with SQL Server 2005 also. ofcourse you can use VS2003 to connect with SQL Server 2005! :cool: Paras Kaneriya The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

ASP.NET 1.1 or ASP.NET 2.0? In ASP.NET, the path of CSS file can be changed in BasePage. We used to re-generate the whole HTML code from head to bottom. Maybe. you can declare one variable to set the dynamic path of CSS file. (You will get what I mean if you have any idea about creating base page in ASP.NET. ) In ASP.NET 2.0, you can change the theme by setting Page.Theme = "MyTheme"; Example ~ http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/dynamicThemes.asp?df=100&forumid=317422&exp=0&select=1556933 More : http://www.google.com.sg/search?q=asp.net+dynamic+theme&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a[^] Thanks and Regards, Michael Sync ( Blog: http://michaelsync.net) If you want to thank me for my help, please vote my message by clicking one of numbers beside "Rate this message".

Wel I am sory I cant tell you exact code but I have seen a .Net project by one of my classmate who generated an Access database through c# code. I mean its possible. If I find that code I'll surely post it here. But try to google it out you'll find it. Mujtaba

That was a helpful reply. Finally got it working. And of course, gave it a 5-star vote. Thanks again!

Brotha, you're first step ought to be following the instructions on that error message up there to find out what is causing this bug. If you follow the instructions in this error message, it will display a much more specific error message indicating exactly what caused this failure. There should be very little different about a hosting provider vs. your local machine, but you'll never know until you see the real error message. And as far as your MSAccess question, you set the connection properties in the web.config file. No one can download the web.config file, ASP.NET/IIS knows automatically to never serve up that file. If you need to find out how to setup the DNS within your web.config, you might wanna check out the this faq.

yes you can use an adrotator in codebehind, you just need to add in the tag the attribute runat="server" and an id="adrotatorid" and then the control should show up as a htmlgenericcontrol or something like that. Then you can set the text in codebehind to the adrotator like that. If it doesn't show up in codebehind you can manually add it as protected htmlgenericcontrol adrotatorid; and then you can use it. Can you use the adrotator web form control?? this way you don't have to test and see if it works if the this adrotator control already works for you. I think I'm a bit confused about what you need to do.

Yeahn and your just telling the server to wait 10 seconds before processing the page. Like guffa said use setTimout from the onload() event in the body 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

Try this: string nbid = Request.QueryString("nbid"); Use HttpUtility.UrlEncode to build correct UrlPaths 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

yeah response.redirect("myasppage.aspx?mySessionValue=1") or create a html input field and make it type "hidden" then store the value Either way works. But since its in the session just get it when you need it. I use the viewstate in the same way between postbacks. Nick 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

Thanks for the swift reply and the tip, Colin!!! That was very useful. Unfortunately some of it didn't quite work. I wanted to create something like a splash screen, where it waits for a few seconds, then have it automatically redirect to another URL. So there is no built in functions in ASP.NET that supports this function? As for the checkbox, my bad. I made the operator change from == to =. There is no error message now, however, I see nothing happening at all; the checkbox is not checked when the condition is met I've heard something called a Postback, could this be the culprit? For the 1st question, what would you recommend for extracting the primary key value right after a record has been written? It is very important for me because it is the core sections of my site. Is there other functions in SQL that actually allows you to such operations? By the way, another small question, in my Access database, I have 2 fields, one is date, and another is time, both in datetime format. What I extract them as string and display it in a textbox, The date becomes " 27/12/2005 0:00:00 " and the time becomes "30/12/1899 0:17:31," which means I am always getting both time and date, is there a function that allows me to only retrieve one of them? Thanks again for any help on this matter!!! Jericho
