there are many ways to check server is up or not or the URL exists, like HttpWwebRequest , Ping Nobody is perfect i'm Nobody

It looks like then, that I have to rebuild my apps if I want to move the web service they refer to :(

Try this: <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Product Code"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="abc" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Product.Code") %>'> </asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> Evil cannot be conquered in the world... It can only be resisted within oneself.

Try taking a look at the System.Environment class. It has a method CurrentDirectory() which returns the current working folder. You can also try Application.StartupPath.

That's great, thanks :)

Thanks, I want to avoid an error code though because I want to display the actual exception detail if I get any and I can't guess as to what exceptions or detail I will get. My solution is that I've used a session variable instead because I can create it when an exception occurs and clear it after I've displayed it.

Construction from serialized data can be substantially cheaper than default construction and replacing the properties with deserialized data.

Give if not page.ispostback then cmd...., or change the auto postback properties in ddl, Magesh

You can use an <asp:Panel /> control, too. Jon Sagara This is the stuff we'll drink on special occasions. To paraphrase my father-in-law, this is the kind of wine that results in kids. -- A friend Blog | Site | Articles

Use XmlTextWriter. For part key pairs, try this: XmlTextWriter Evil cannot be conquered in the world... It can only be resisted within oneself.

If you want to store the value in a simple format, use the Ticks property to get an Int64 value. This can be used in the DateTime constructor to recreate the DateTime value exactly. --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

Depends on your needs. If it's simple data, use an App.config or the Web.config if you're doing a web app. You can just add keys to them which are easy enough to retrieve. <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="field" value="1" /> </appSettings> ... </configuration> Then in code you can access them with something like... string field = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("field"); But if you have more complex data that you need to store, I usually do my own XML structure and use something like Skeleton Crew[^] to build a code model to use it with. Try code model generation tools at BoneSoft.com.

How about this: _MySetting = (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MySetting "] == null) ? "default value" : ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MySetting"]); Evil cannot be conquered in the world... It can only be resisted within oneself.

The best thing i would recommend is as follows: TextBox shorttitle = Bgt_Main.FooterRow.FindControl("txtshorttitle") as TextBox; GridViewRow row= Bgt_Main.SelectedRow/ GridViewRow row = Bgt_Main.Rows[Bgt_Main.SelectedIndex]; TextBox shortt = row.FindControl("short") as TextBox; Label mainid = row.FindControl("lblrow") as Label; and then use: shorttitle.Text/ shorrtt.Text/ mainid.Text so the general syntax would be: = ..... as here "txtshorttitle","short","lblrow" are the ID's of the textbox/label's in the itemtemplate of the girdview/DetailsView. Even if the column name changes like in Bind(..) or Eval(..) you dont have to change the code. I hope this makes everything clear Murthy here

What is the collection supposed to hold: multiple instances of that class ? the public properties ? or something completely different ? :) Luc Pattyn
