Here is where you can download MySql Connector for ADO.NET: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.0.html[^] If you are going to start with .NET, most definately start with .NET 2.0 as it is the newest version. It wouldn't make sense to start out with 1.0 or 1.1 Articles here at the code project are a great source of information on how to do things in ASP.NET! Also check out http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/[^] The best way to learn it is to take an application you have written in PHP, and re-write it in .NET. Make sure to use .NET 2.0.

I'm not sure exactly what the meaning of meta is, but it's to best understanding that META usually means something that doesn't really exist. Which makes defining it even harder. How do you define something that doesn't exist. META when used in programming...for instance while reading an article on parsing and EBNF grammars, stated that EBNF is a META language. EBNF, in this case, is a language which dictates the exact syntax of another language. META tags in HTML (AFAIK) are keywords but...not really keywords...keywords should come from the content of a site's document. META classes, going on what i've learned through osmosis about what META means and is...and listening to my sister ramble about the meanings of life (I say it's pointless then you die) and the meta physical aspect of things...like if you really focus and really want to...you can walk through that wall (I say not a f*ckin chance, you try it, running full friggen speed too and when you, as in she, my sister says OUCH!!! I'll say I told you so). Anyways...back to META and it's meaning...what i've gather over the years and through context when i've seen it's use in an programming article or conversation, is that META is kind of a paradox. So to address your question of META classes... My best guess, would be an UML diagram. It's generic as far as typical class layout or syntax is concerned and yet it symbolizes just that...a class...not an object, but rather a blueprint for any object. A UML diagram is easily converted into any "REAL" class using the syntax of any given language and yet is easily understood by any reader familiar with UML and OOD principles. Doesn't matter whether they are CPP or Perl or PHP or JScript or whatever. Thats my best guess... As for pointers...well a pointer when you speak technically is a very specific thing. It's a variable which "Points" at another variable. So a META pointer...an imaginary pointer for the sake of connecting two object diagrams, etc... Cheers :) It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

I tried following and it is not working. But I can write on the status bar as shown below in commented portion. Moreover I don't want to write in the textbox but on the document. <!-- var str="good evening"; var i=0; function show() { var typeLength= str.length document.typewriterScreen.typepage.value= document.typewriterScreen.typepage.value + str.charAt(i) i++ var timeID= setTimeout("show()",50) /* //For printing on status bar if(ctr<=str.length) { window.status = str.substring(0, ctr++) + "_"; setTimeout("show()",200); if(ctr == str.length) { window.status = str.substring(0, ctr) + "_"; ctr=0; } } */ } --> Please Help.

What you need to do is to look at the syllabus of ur MCA program, and decide, if that is what you want! "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."1Thess. 5:16-18

Thanks a lot Nair!Thanks. Thanks in tons for your pains that u took to read that lenghty response from me and after that giving a convincing response. Ranjan Goyal

It looks okay to me. I don't know x86 assembly that well. As for what you should do, well that depends on what you want to do. There is very little money in learning assembly language, so if your goal is money, stick with C/C++/C# or something on those lines. If you want to learn how to program, assembly is one part, but once you can do it you are unlikely to use it again.
