I have an asp.net project setup on a windows 2000 server. I have a mapped path to the application folder. I also have the same folder setup in IIS as a web application. VS.net 2003 seams to be connecting to the project with both http and through the file share. I will look at the web page using a browser, then go and edit the page to make the corrections I need to. I keep getting "Access is Denide" messages and it take several minute, maybe longer before vs will let me save the file. I'm guessing the asp.net process on the web server or maybe the server its self is locking the file. Is there another way to setup a project that will get around getting these errors? How do you setup your ASP.NET development environment? Do I need to keep the project on my local computer and just copy the files to the webserver after every change? Any help would be great. Thanks, JefferyS

Thanks for all the suggestions. It seams that when you load the combo box (atleast with a dataset) it fires off the selectedItem and selectedvalue events, and maybe other combo box events. The selectedIndex stayed at 0 all the time so the if(combobox.selectedindex > 0) did work, but sense I was using index 0 for "All" to not filter that category it wasn't going to work for me. So after many cans of A&W Root Beer, I moved the lines that sets the events for both combo boxs under the last item in the form load event which was the loading of the datagrid. It seams to be working perfectly. Thanks again for all the suggestions, JefferyS :-D

I have a mdi child form that has two combo boxes and a data grid. The combo boxes are used to filter the records in the data grid. The problem I am having is that I load the combo boxes from a dataset in the form load event. I also fill the datagrid from a dataset after loading the combo boxes. It looks to me that the combo box events (selectedvaluechanged) are running before everthing is loaded properly and causes loading errors. Both my combo boxes call a function to reload the datagrid. Am I loading the combo box values in the wrong event? I hope that made sense. Thanks, JefferyS

I am wanting to know what is the best way to fill a combo box from data in a database. Right now I am using an data adapter to fill a dataset that is set as the datasource for the combo box. This seams to work ok. From reading about datasets and dataadapter it looks to me that using this method keeps the link to the database open. Is that true? On another combo box I have in my program I use a dataset to read an xml file. Then I use a foreach loop to add the data to the combobox. It is a small list of 10 or so records. The only problem with this is that I haven't found a way to add a value to each item in the combo box. Using the dataset I can set the display member and value member. Just wanted to know what everyone though about this. I am also concerned about how much memory is taken up by the comboboxes and the datasets that fill them. Please let me know what you think about this. I know it is a small thing I want to make sure I'm using the best method. Thanks, JefferyS :)

Thanks for all the suggestions. I figured out what was wrong and it wasn't the code. You can't set the sorted property on the combobox to true when using a dataset. I don't know why it didn't give me an exception error. I hope my folly helps someone not spend hours and hours trying to figure out why it was not working. Thanks again for all the help. Thanks, JefferyS :-D

I just can't seam to figure out why the following code is not working. I would be thankful for any help. Thanks, JefferyS :( CODE: string folderPath = "C:\\My Documents\\Visual Studio Projects\\MyDroidEngineer\\Data\\"; DataSet myDS = new DataSet(); myDS.ReadXml(folderPath + "planets.xml"); cboPlanets.DataSource = myDS.Tables["planet"]; cboPlanets.DisplayMember = "description"; cboPlanets.ValueMember = "swgcraft_id"; I get no errors and just a blank combo box I have used a temp datagrid to check the dataset and it displays correctly.

Under the Help menu there is a Check For Updates menu item. When I click on it it starts to check and then gives me an error saying I need to check my internet settings. Is the "Check For Updates" broke? Have they released any bug fixes? Are they ever going to fix the bugs in 2002 & 2003? Thanks, JefferyS :(
