So, is it possible that your use of underscores is because you feel inadequate with your partner? Are you placing fields willy-nilly in the class because you were bottle fed and lack the ability to empathize with your fellow human being? Do you use lowercase method names because you were taunted by your peers as a child?

I do believe I have a man-crush now. Best. Comment. Ever.

I'm kinda shocked that no one has offered up the obvious "hire me" response... Of course, if they're spending $500 on a custom design and markup, sheesh. A newly-minted-college-graduate-designer is asking for $35/hr. Being able to kick out a full design and implementation (that doesn't suck) in less than 15 hours is a tight, tight deadline, and I would be skeptical of anyone who could commit to it at that price point. All in all, it looks to me like it would vary from client to client as to how they are looking to market themselves, how far they are into the branding process, and how much they want to get out of their investment. I can throw together a template and put some content in a site in about 2 hours. It looks like it was thrown together in about 2 hours too. Alternatively, I can put together one helluva nice web application that does some nifty stuff, but that takes considerably longer and is considerably more expensive. I guess what I'm trying to say is: you get what you pay for. People don't price themselves that low because they love working at $7/hr. They price themselves that low because that's how they land hundreds of clients that they can piss off before going to the next business.

This isn't weird at all. In fact, it has become generally accepted that even the language you first learn (or languages) define your very experience in the world by defining the thought processes and behavioral patterns you exhibit in relation to specific words, phrases or linguistic patterns. See: early works of Sapiri and Whorl re: Language and Behavioral Patterns or Thought Processes -- LMGTFY Link[^] This is even more true among computer scientists. The many experienced (read: been doin' this a while) computer scientists out there are polyglots by necessity since there is no singular language (yet) that can "do it all" markedly simply. --Yes, I realize I can use assembly to write this Web Application provided I write all parts of the Request/Response etc., but I'm not into S&M. Thanks.-- We tend to generalize a problem into our most-used (if not native or first) language before moving to applicable alternatives. Why? Language defines how we view everything. Language itself is meant to convey ideas, pictures, behavioral description, and other concrete or abstract concepts to the listener. For example, in English pronouns are used to relate feminine or masculine traits to individuals. In Spanish, French, and German (as well as other Germanic languages), not only are individiuals feminine or masculine, but also other nouns themselves inherit these attributes. Long story short... No, you're not weird. No matter what anyone says about programming affecting their thought processes: it has. It will. There's no way around it other than perhaps your mind already did it and you were a natural-born programmer. :) Cheers, JP

Nothing? No one? Wow. Come on people, SOMEONE has had to have come along this sometime. All I'm trying to do is make my LoginImageButton my DefaultButton of myPanel. Any hints? Answers? Godsends?

Are you new to web development? If so, I'd suggest buying (or finding a friend that has -- i cannot suggest pirating in good conscience, but it's there) a good book on it. Specifically, Beginning ASP.NET 2005 in C#. (or VB.NET if you prefer) Published by Apress. Between $30-40US. http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-ASP-NET-2-0-2005-Professional/dp/1590595726/ref=sr\_1\_4/105-1894697-3759602?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190778126&sr=8-4 In fact, I still have my series of Apress books I keep for references. They come in handy.

Yes.

What events? Are the controls housed in a placeholder or panel? Need a code snippet or some detail to move forward on this. :)

The failure is coming in that the Connection to the DB is not being made correctly. Check your web.config and make sure that your connection string (sConnectionString) is valid and points to the IP or server name of the Database correctly as well as checking all your concerned settings. This tends to be either: an IIS issue on the Web Server or a web.config typo. My suggestion is to start with the web.config and make sure you can establish a valid connection by trying to fill a "Hello World" table first; then work backward from there.

Should be: int RowID = e.RowIndex; This gets the correct Index for the row that fired the event.

You're passing an empty DataSet to the update method. You intialize companyDS as new and then never assign any data to it. That's why there is no error. It is successfully updating with an empty DataSet into a database (that presumably) allows NULL values or empty strings.

Yes ladies and gents, here it is again... For some reason the gods at Microsoft failed to realize us Intarwebz users like to press the "enter" key after we fill out a form to "Submit" it. Instead they decided they should force us to either tab or to, god forbid, use the mouse to CLICK THE BUTTON!! I have been over these forums, over the ASP.NET forums over at Microsoft and of course, everyone's best Coder guru, Google. Alas, I still have the same problem.Member Home  |

USERNAME:

I latebind my content all the time. That's an easy one. protected void OnDataBind_Control_to_Show(object sender, EventArgs e) { SetCorrectView(); } protected void SetCorrectView() { Series of if statements that check for control.txt or control.value = "" or null } If the control has data, show it. otherwise dont. Easy peasy. In that case, I can see howit's being used, and the reason VS shows it as an integer, is that all three possible arguments sent to the function must be integers. So, in your case, the last argument can take any of those three specific arguments, but they must all be ints.

1. content goes here in the codebhind we set the visibility CODEBEHIND: if contained within a repeater or someother control: Page.FindControl("phSomething"); otherwise just: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { phSomething.Visible = true; } protected void On_Some_Event(object sender, EventArgs e) { phSomething.Visible = false; } Something to remember, the PlaceHolder control does not remember the contents of it between postbacks. So if it is needed to retain information across post backs, you can set all data to a session variable or cookie, or host the placeholder inside an AJAX Update panel and post back Asynchrously. 2. This isn't ASP.NET particularly... However you can set the "MinMaxClose" toolbar to not visible and that should help make it more difficult. I'm not a WinForms expert ;) 3. The process of widgets in ASP.NET (this is an ASP.NET forum) is more or less using XML web services to pass data or "consume" a webservice. I dont exactly know what all you mean here, the tag dates back to HTML 3.0 or even earlier... It's more or less a Web Standard nowadays. 4. OR is a keyword that is used in conditional statements. Let's say that we want to make an if statement: If(Algoaddict_Posts_ASPNET_Forums OR Algoaddict_Posts_Anywhere_Forums) Algoaddict_Answered = true EndIf In C#: if(Algoaddict_Posts_ASPNET_Forums | Algoaddict_Posts_ASPNET_Forums) { Algoaddict_Answered = true; } In this case, OR returns a boolean true if either case returns true. Thus, you were answered. :) For more information, you can see MSDN Documentation on CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS and BOOLEAN OPERATORS. --EDIT Darn! You modified the questions! 4. Not really possible, no. However, you can create a vb class and call that class from inside a CS file.
