this solution is applicable if the .net frame work is 2.0. for visual studio 2005 or for asp.net 2.0 projects their is no need for a solution file, select open website from the file menu and the web application will be opened for you. one more thing if you are not having enough code behind files you cannot modify the application check that they have written inline coding for them. just rebuild after modification and publish that in the ftp site, you have provision for that in visual studio 2005. cheers asithangae

Place a bookmark at the end of the page and add the bookmark to the URL. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

No, there isn't. But you can take an element that does support html codes, like a div tag, and make it editable. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

You're probably already past this, but I've seen this question enough times that I thought I might write an article on it. Link[^] Logifusion[^] If not entertaining, write your Congressman.

This is just a wee idea, but have you tried running your encryption and doing a count of the returned characters in the string?

Don't quote me: TDES uses 3 64bit keys (the 192 bits you pass) so you should pad to 64 bits. Non-unicode would mean you nead 128bits. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." -- Stephen Crane

one way to make it work is by unistalling it then cleaning up your registry manually.then reinstall it. however, like Dan said, you can spend money and buy the license. Regards, Hesbon.

Forget MSDE. Go with SQL Server 2005 Exress. You'll be saving yourself a whole bunch of grief down the road if you go with SQL Server 2005 Express now. http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/express/default.aspx[^] Jerry "I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park"--Cars

I wouldn't bother trying to "learn the differences between ASP and ASP.NET". Instead, just learn .NET. Forget everything you know in asp and learn asp.net from the begining. Learning the differences won't help a bit, IMO. I think the biggest challenge in making the switch from asp to asp.net is that you have to get away from thinking about the page running from the top to the bottom. You have to think of .NET as event driven. When you click a button that is an event. So in your code behind, you have insert the code you want to happen when the button click event occurs. Most of your code will sit in the code behind, allowing separation between your HTML and your code. Have you ever written a VB windows application? (VB6, VBA, or .NET) Web development is similar to this, only you have some more concerns like the viewstate, session, and security. Hope that helps a little bit!

Hi, You can do this simply with javascript. Here is the Code for that: //////// ASPX PAGE CODE /***** JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION *****/ function checkDropDowns() { var ddl1 = document.getElementById('ddl1'); var ddl2 = document.getElementById('ddl2'); if(ddl1.options[0].selected == true && ddl2.options[0].selected == true) { alert("Please Select One Value From Atleast One DropDown Box!!"); return false; } } /****************************/ /****** ASPX PAGE BODY **********/ Select Item Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Select Item Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 /********** CODE BEHIND FILE ***********/ IN PAGE LOAD EVENT ADD THE FOLLOWING CODE : Button1.Attributes.Add("OnClick","javascript:return checkDropDowns();"); /****************************************/ I hope this will solve your problem Thanks,:) Sushant Duggal.

Hi, You can use javascript for this: function checkDropDowns() { var ddl1 = document.getElementById('ddl1'); var ddl2 = document.getElementById('ddl2'); if(ddl1.options[0].selected == true && ddl2.options[0].selected == true) { alert("Please Select One Value From Atleast One DropDown Box!!"); return false; } } I guess this works for you, Thanks Sushant Duggal.

You can set the Value of the first item to blank: <asp:ListItem Value="">-Month-</asp:ListItem>

You are mixing up server side code with client side code. 1. The server side code is run on the server to create the page. 2. The page is sent to the browser. 3. The browser parses the page and runs the client side scripts in it. The Server.Transfer will be executed at the first step, and the alert will be executed at the third step. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
