If only there were a Contractor Rate Calculator[^] online :) It seems my page has been overtaken by an unrelated bank rate mortgage calculator for the number on spot on Google :( Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS.

Companies don't want to hire someone who will need a significant amount of time to climb the learning curve before contributing to the company. Especially if that new hire hasn't already demonstrated that they will even be able to teach themselves new things such as languages. Raghuveer D wrote: I strongly believe that he/she cannot master 2-3 core languages. I'm not sure I accept this. Anyone who has done real world projects with a language that are larger than toy scope, will have a lot more mastery than someone who has only taken classes. As a college student, if you spent all your free time doing such real world projects in different languages, then it is possible to have significant mastery of multiple languages. It might not provide as deep of mastery as doing all the projects in a single language, but certainly mastery enough to be able to start immediately contributing to a new employeer. patbob

Then I would think the function is a CLR function and there is a bug in there. Never having used the CLR in SQL Server I do not know how you debug such a beast. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

khuzwayom wrote: I want that textbox to be readonly, but the problem is that if I set the ReadOnly property of the textbox to true, the textbox always defaults back to the default values (today's date) after the postback. But if the ReadOnly property is false it displays the date I chose on the textbox even after the postaback. This is not a issue with Dot Net Nuke. If you are doing the same in ASP.NET you will face the same problem. If you make any text box as Read Only it will not send the updated value on post back. Quick Fix : Use ContentEditable="False" instead of Readonly. It will do the trick for you. ;) Solution Approach : 1 .Before Post back read the value in hidden field and after postback place the hidden field value to the textbox ;) 2. You can create your own custom textbox control also. Check here.

It is a long and arduous journey, grasshopper. Introspection of the divine self leads to illumination of the inner citizen. Once this state of mind has been achieved, you must then pick up a molten love banana up with your earlobes and learn how to hum your national anthem through controlled anal gas discharges. Finally, when you can snatch the clue from my hand, you may leave the temple.

Ya got it. :jig: . Problem is with If checking Try this string _value = drpDepot.SelectedValue.ToString().Trim(); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(_value)) { //Do what ever you want } else { //Do what ever you want } Enjoy ;) cheers, Abhijit CodeProject MVP

You don't need the breakpoint on the line that calls the webmethod. Just attach to your process running your web service and stick a breakpoint in there.

Ok, so you win the bet and re-incarnate as a bacteria sitting on a mote of dust, what do I owe for losing the bet? :) More people died from worry than ever bled to death. - RAH
