This is one of the biggest problem. But one has to take care of the issue while developing. I would suggest you to look at the sites like www.csszengarden.com and www.jobsbridge.com and follow the way the sites are designed. you have to have some knowledge of css 2.0. get the css of these sites and study them. Hope the tips will help. Thanks,

Hi, It also confused me initially. But what I found is that, only those web controls which needs a form tag to function are needed to be placed inside a form with Runat="server" attribute. I mean to say, when a form is submitted the value of the controls which will be posted back are of the above type. Thus textbox need to placed inside a form with runat="server" but for a label it is not mandatory. I hope this answers your question. Thanks,

Hi use Allot_Grid.SelectedItem.FindControl("controlId") you must be using some control inside your TemplateColumn. The above code will give you the reference to the control as an object. You have to typecast it to the control and then use can use the properties of the control. Thanks,

DataGrid with TemplateColumn will solve your problem. Inside the TemplateColumn use a table to structure the data the way you want. Thanks,
Pradipta Basu
use this <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Date"> <ItemTemplate"> <# FormatDate(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DBDate")) %"> <ItemTemplate"> </asp:TemplateColumn"> Use a TemplateColumn as shown above where DBDate is your database data field. FormatDate is your own function to format date. The function can be like this shown below. public static string FormatDate(object oInput) { if(oInput != null) { if(oInput != DBNull.Value) return ((DateTime)oInput).ToString("MM-dd-yy"); else return string.Empty; } else return string.Empty; } Hope this will help

Hi, It is not possible to write about details of Database connectivity in .NET in this reply. I am giving you a few hints. Using a good book and googling will show you the way. Important namespaces for connectivity and data related activity. System.Data.SqlClient - for Sql Server System.Data.OracleClient - for Oracle System.Data.Odbc - for other database. System.Data Please read about these namespaces. Read about SqlConnection, SqlCommand and SqlDataAdapter in System.Data.SqlClient. Similar classes also exist for other namespaces. Apart from it you need to know about DataSet, SqlDataReader etc.

Please do remember to use the HttpUtility class, you need IIS running, ie. you need a webserver. your windows application may not have this as prerequisite as happens in most cases. So this is not a good class to use in Windows application.

To learn about ajax technology please search google. you will definitely get good links. The libraries that I had mentioned are javascript libraries with inbuilt AJAX and effect in it. It will make your life easy for good looks of your pages. The links are Scriptaculous[^] Dojo[^] Dojo will give you better effects than Scriptaculous, but Scriptaculous is easier to use. Both the libraries are free.

smart navigation is not a good solution, it would not work in Mozilla.

Hi, you can always integrate VB.NET and C# assemblies together if they maintain CTS properly. For new technologies, I can say that you are well aware of AJAX and WebService. What I can say that you try scriptoculous and dojo libraries for rich user interface.

Can you check the following http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/[^] iTextSharp, Open source Free http://sourceforge.net/projects/npdf/[^] NPDF, Open source http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=5588085e-3d0b-4db8-8a88-603ef212d0db[^] PDF creator http://report.sourceforge.net/[^] Report.NET I had tried itextsharp in one of my project, it seems to be good for me.
Pradipta Basu
There is no direct way to do it. You have to use some third party libraries available in the net freely.

As far as I can understand, you have two usercontrols inside a server side form. so when you are pressing enter into search control, the postback fires and hence gives problem to your login control. The solution is that you keep the two controls in two different forms in the page. Since there can't be two server side forms, so one of your forms have to be an ordinary html form, and you have to deal with that usercontrol in the classic ASP style. Thanks
Pradipta Basu
Yes we can

It works with DataGrid. You have to use TemplateColumn

I cannot get your first question. Arraylist can hold any kind of object. But for a particular instance, it should hold the same kind of object, ie., if you are keeping a string, you have to keep only strings, or if it is integer, you have to keep only integer.

In your datasource, there should be a column which denotes start or stop. let start is denoted by 1 and stop by 0. What you have to do is just write a function which will toggle the values. Or if you are using image, it will show the image of start when it is 0, and the image of stop when it is 1. the code will be something like <%# GetToggledValue(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Status")) %> here status is the name of the column for start and stop, and GetToggledValue() is the function.

Hope this code will help Let the datagrid be dg. foreach(DataGridItem dgItem in dg.Items) for(int i = 0; i < dg.Columns.Count; i++) { TableCell tc = dgItem.Cells[i]; //do the coding with table cell }
Pradipta Basu
you can always count the number of cells in a datagrid. so you can iterate through them.

We can have multiple web.config file for an application. If we divide our project into different folders, then each of the folders can have different web.config files apart from the web.config in the root. When we access pages in a particular folder, it that folder contains a web.config file, setting there will have more priority that that of the root, ie., if you override a setting of the root web.config in the folder's web.config, the latter one will be used for the pages in that particular folder. you can read this artile Using Forms Authentication in ASP.NET, Part 2
