Why not to use the traffic signal color coding....it will make much more sense :)...at least you need not need to provide legends to the users.

you can use MOQ for mocking and IOC for running the test cases.

Try to dig down the AutoEventWireup attribute of the page directive and its use....you will be able to understand how the default events gets wired up with the event handler.

you can store the value in a SQL Server Database table. Cache the data in application startup using ASP.NET cache engine. Make a SQL Server invalidation cache dependence over the cache, so whenever user changes the value in the table the cache gets invalidated. Repopulate the cache when there is a change in the underlying data table in SQL Server. So you are not pulling the data from SQL Serevr each time and only refresh the data in the cache whenever there is a change in the underlying data...as well as there will be no application restart requirement...a the cached data gets refreshed whenever there is a change in the underlying table....for information on SQL Server invalidation please refer the following link http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/Using-the-ASP-NET-2-0-SQL-Server-Cache-Dependency.id-306459.html[^]

Hi I'm a regular viewer and now became a article writer (only 2 aricles although :-O ), but I'm facing a great problem while posting any article with the editor provided inside the Article Posting Wizard. I also downloaded the template..but it also seems that I need to use some HTML editor and need to have a bit good knowledge of HTML. Isn't it possible to post the article by using Microsoft Office or something easy to use...and post the article to codeproject?

go to the following link to see whether al the option in the connection string are given properly or not. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-net-programming-connection-options.html[^] also see that the Port at the hosting environment is not blocked, if blocked then register in the exception list in Windows Firewall, or any firewall setting in the host computer

after building the application you will find the exe under bin\debug folder of your application folder.

It seems a bit weired problem. Check the ODBC configuration for all the available drivers, and check whether the Microsoft Text Driver is installed on the machine or not. You will find the ODBC Datasource ADministrator from Administrative Tools.

can you please provide the code (specially when you are making the connection using ODBC)

What type of application template you have selected while creating your application???

I don't think that will help, schedular task, actually invokes a task or a bartch on a redefined time, its not responsive to windows startup. Its better to to add the entry in registry.

MARS (Multiple Active Result Set) can give you a quick solution in this respect (if you are using ADO.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005).

At first I want to say that you do not need Visual Studio installed on the target machine to execute any .exe created with MS .NET, you just need the .NET framework installed in the target machine. Secondly, I really don't think its possible to build such assembly (.exe or .dll) from .NET, cause it actually breaks the fundamental concept of Microsoft .NET platform.
