Congrats

That's where I was going! I remember seeing an advert for a body product (I forget which one), but it claimed "All Natural Ingredients, No Chemicals!" Hmm, what is it made of then? --------------------------------- I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

As some of the members here may know, I actually work in the mobile phone industry so I'll shed a little light on this for you. J4amieC wrote: while something is under warrenty, it should be replaced if its faulty, not repaired. Wrong. All faulty products can be replaced or repaired at the retailers choice and they are not required to do one over the other if it were to be disproportionately costly. Therefore, you will most often be offered a repair as the manufacturer will repair at no cost. They must however do it without unreasonable inconvenience to the customer which is why they will often offer you a courtesy phone. The warranty and the contract of sale are two totally different things and the warranty is not provided by the retailer. Check out the Sale of Goods act for more detailed information. J4amieC wrote: Phones4u no longer repair Orange blackberries, contact Orange directly for repairs Correct. Blackberrys are different to any other manufacturer in regard to warranty repair in the UK. The warranty is actually owned by the authorised distributor of the kit. In the case of an Orange blackberry, this is Orange even if you bought it from an independant retailer. The same applies for any other UK network. (If the Blackberry were generic (SIM free) then the warranty would be owned by the supplier (normally 20:20) that the retailer bought it from.) There is no Blackberry warranty repair centre available in the UK to either the trade or public! This leaves the retailer in a very difficult position. You have the right to insist that they get the device repaired (assuming they won't replace) but in the case of a network locked handset the network won't talk to the retailer about the device as it's linked to your account which they can't discuss because of the Data Protection Act! Bottom line, all networks will replace/repair (normally the former) Blackberrys, often the next day, that they have supplied to either you or an independent retailer if you contact them directly. If it's SIM free, the retailer will contact the supplier who will normally do a swap for them. The network/supplier then deal directly with Blackberry. Orange doesn't rock anymore than they did before, they have just fulfilled their obligations under their agreement with Blackberry and unfortunately for 4U (or any other retailer) they are made to look silly by RIM.

Ignore me. In my testing for copying to clipboard for a project I had switched on "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" in about:config - this was the cause of the dialog I was getting.

Yeah, I once opened one of the article attachement (just out of curiosity) and the file was huge with a lot of different files in there: PDFs, word documents, misc files, different folders, ... X| Cédric Moonen Software developer Charting control [v1.5] OpenGL game tutorial in C++

not just the C# forum ... even when you point them in a general direction, basically seems they want their work done for them.

All back to normal now Chris.

Hi, Your query is otherwise correct, but you must add the ORDER BY clause since the FOR XML processes the row (almost) without no logic in the order they are in the result set. So the query would be: ... ORDER BY 'Site!1!siteNo', 'Currency!2!currencyCode' FOR XML EXPLICIT, ROOT('Root') Mika The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

There's a slightly better way to do this that I've been wanting to do for months now. You're close. I'll let you know when I'm finished. ;) cheers, Chris Maunder CodeProject.com : C++ MVP

Just a couple of comments: 1) Your lock and if statement are backwards. 2 threads could get past the if statement. One would pass the lock and do the init, the other would hang at the lock. When the first exited the lock, the second would then be released and pass the lock and do the init again. 2) I wouldn't lock on the instance. Mainly because it's public (advised against). If you must use a lock, create a private lock object instead. 3) I wouldn't put the shut down code in a finaliser. Finalisers aren't guaranteed to be run, and if a finaliser blocks or throws an exception it can screw up your garbage collector thread - You definitely shouldn't be throwing exceptions from a finaliser, it will kill the garbage collector, and the exception will never get reported. I'd do it with a dispose pattern (and put the code inside the if block so it's only called when disposing and not when finalising) and make sure you call dispose manually from your applications shutdown routines. 4) It's a singleton. That means the constructor only gets called once. You've used a thread safe singleton patten, so unless I've missed something I think you don't need the initialised flag or the lock at all. Just ditch the lock and flag entirely and trust the singleton pattern to only create the object and call the constructor once. Simon

As Bob said replication could be one solution. Especially transactional replication in your case. Another option could be log shipping. With log shipping you may have to redesign your backup strategy, but on the other hand you gain a standby database, which can be used for reporting. The need to optimize rises from a bad design

Ah I assumed that was what you meant considering your post(quote below). If it was just the username you wanted then you might be able to get it another way. Im guessing you want to call other aspects of RoleProvider. "My problem arises when I try to use a call to HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole(string). This always uses the default RoleProvider so if you've logged in as an ExternalUser its using the InternalRoleProvider (default) rather than ExternalRoleProvider. This does make sense as there appears no way to associate a membership provider to a RoleProvider. Im hoping im wrong there but I dont think there is."
