I have a web user control that is used as a date picker. It puts a calendar, month and year dropdowns together for users to pick dates on a website. I have used the iframe under the div method to make it stay on top of dropdowns and other controls (utilizing size and z-index) But when I have any actual Custom Control under it... it only stays hidden untill I choose to change data and it posts back. Now for the weird part. If you choose certain years... 2003 or 4 for example.... IT WORKS.... Anyway here is the code for the ascx <%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="DatePicker.ascx.vb" Inherits="HSI.Engine.DatePicker" TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %> var <%=m_ID%>dp = new DatePicker('<%=m_ID%>', 1);


Thanx for your help. I guess I just have to rely on the ISP.

BTW... I am a systems guy too LOL Steven Campbell wrote: I get the error The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved. From the stack trace, it looks like the code is accessing some sort of saved xml dataset, not the XML file you mention. It then receives an error when trying to resolve some reference within the file (perhaps the namespace). Well.. I thot of that. If I copy the site to my local server, it works as is... so It is, as myself and the system admin at the host belive, a system problem. The code hasn't changed since it was installed. And all calls are to the local xml file. If you check around, you may find some of the other pages (they use the same codeing) work. It is one of those.... ephemiral errors. The only reason the content is xml is to save money on the SQL side and to allow the user to change the text. (Not webpage programmers are they) Sooooo.... I am stumped still... Sorry I wasn't more specific about my prior troubleshooting. but if it works on one server and not another... and the code hasn't changed... and it worked for over a year... My bet is system issues... And if you try it a few times... you will eventually get a timeout error.

I have a client with an ASP.NET web page that was created using c#. It has run for over a year and a half just fine, and now generates an error on the server. The site is www.delcarpenter.com. The error is not always the same error. Now... If you look, it is erroring out trying to get the xml file. If you type the xml file directly as www.delcarpenter.com/homepage.xml... it comes up fine. The server can even open it up fine that way from a web browser. BUT... the page has this issue. TIA...
