It's not really possible to set a z-order on a dropdownlist, as it is a slightly different control, inheriting from the windows form control i think. What is it you are trying to do? There are some workarounds to this using iframes to cover dropdownlists, e.g. with a javascript menu providing a dynamic dropdown div, an iframe is 'hidden' behind the div to allow the div to appear over the top of any dropdown controls in the way.

set to properties for the HTML table. set ID and runat="server". or if you are adding the the table at design time, just right click on the table and select "Run as server control" and set ID property in the properties window. or go to HTML view and add the following line to the HTML table tag. id="GiveSomeidhere" runat="server". let us say id="TableID" runat="server" now HtmlTable htmlTable = new HtmlTable(); htmlTable = this.FindControl("TableID"); now you can do your codin using this htmlTable variable. hope this will help you. cheers Ramesh.Kanjinghat

Mike i tried that but its not working.... Sheel Gohe

If you want to manipulate a server control or HTML element through server-side code, you must mark the element with the attribute runat="server". In your case, you could certainly have the following: <input type="checkbox" id="chkSelect" runat="server"/> Server-side then, the chkSelect object would be identified as the type System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputCheckBox, and you could inspect or manipulate it's properties (lookup HtmlInputCheckBox on MSDN for a reference). You could certainly use a <asp:Checkbox id="chkSelect" runat="server"/> control instead. Any reason you're not?

Well, I've never had to do this. And, frankly, don't want to. Off the top of my head, you can't do this between two different databases because the underlying database types are different. For instance, SQL Server supports the bit type, where Access does not. The Data/Time storage formats are different, different Integer types are supported, Currency, ..., yada, yada, yada. The Copy method will NOT translate this for you. So, no, I'd say you can't do this using this method. You'd have to read each individual record and field from the source table, translate the data, then put the new data in an Update or Insert query in the Access database. The other alternative is to construct a DTS job to do the export for you. This will, of course, depend on the Access file being put someplace where the SQL Server can write to it and you can pick it up after the job completes. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

The ActiveMdiChild property returns a Form object which contains no definition for childVariableMode. To access this variable you have to cast the returned form object to one of your child form types. Because you don't know which one is currently the active child, you need a way to treat all child form types equally. One possibility is to define a common base type for all child forms which contains the childVariableMode property and then cast the return value of ActiveMdiChild property to this type. Another way is to define an interface with the childVariableMode which then gets implemented by all child forms and in this case cast the return value of ActiveMdiChild property to interface type. www.troschuetz.de

Though personally i think this approach is perfect (and i admit using it often)... but I'd hate to rely on the UI designer for the control events and such. Most of the times, for the sake of clealiness, I myself associate the events manually. And the C# IDE has a great intellisense for events. As soon as you type "MyControl.Event+=" .. simply press "Tab" twice and it'll do the job. - Malhar
