Wow, talk about doing it the hard (and wrong) way. I suspect that this is a symptom of the state of on-the-job training in the programming world. It usually goes like "hey here's a new programmer, do this." But I still don't see how one becomes a programmer without learning the basics of SQL. No one likes code reviews, but it's useful for things like this. Also, I love how @@FETCH_STATUS is global. I once saw an expensive production system blow-up due to a legacy code time bomb in the form of a SP using a global variable like this.

I have noticed a few cases where the import wizard had turned into a complete pile, i really miss Enterprise Manager, Object Explorer annoyes the crap outa me. I cant figure out why an index change that shouldnt be supported on the database made everything faster, and screwed up everything but reading on the database where it should have been supported.(actually the last bit is what i expected to happen, so i understand that just fine).

I didnt think it would work the way they wanted, maybe its time to get one of those wildcard certs. unfortunatly the people who use are site are "tech" people because they took a computer class in HS and if they dont get their lock symbol they call and complain and dont listen to reason, so now we're adding it to shut them up. I didnt know if it would work or not, it didnt seem right to me so i asked. Now i have a couple solutions, thanks for your help.

it's a bit more work but if you havent used it, you'll be suprised what you can do with jquery. And just to confirm: IE doesn't let you use italics in dropdowns. Neonlight

I see what you're saying, I made the mistake of assuming msdn was correct. It said it would always go back on any postback sync or async, I figured it was handeled by the script manager or some other automagical thing. Thanks for the help.

I've tried setting up the triggers on the update panel, as well as ChildrenAsTriggers, i dont see where you can set up a target. The button click will change the text of a text box in the update panel's contentTemplate, and there's a datetime value that refreshes.

There is one that I always liked which was posted here on CP: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/custom-controls/aspnetforums.aspx[^] He use to have udpated sources available, but I could not find them (I have emailed him though). Rocky <>< Recent Blog Post: More on Windows Live Writer..

I figured it out...Thanks for the info. for anyone else trying this, just add the controls to your toolbox via their online instructions, then you just need an asp:scriptmanager with a after it containing all of the ajax controls.

We were running the App pool with Network Service set, we needed to create another app pool (someone changed the user under the "Configurable" selection so we didnt have the corect Password for the IWAM_ account), in the new app pool we set the identity to configurable which was prepopulated with the IWAM_ account, and gave the IIS_WPG group write access to the directory the files are created in, and everything worked...We also have the Interact with desktop option on for the IIS Admin service, we're going to try turning that off tonite. Hope this helps someone, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, Thanks for your help Mark.

SomeGuyThatIsMe wrote: we were under the impression that .NET was microsofts answer to java in that one executable would run on any machine with the framework, Wrong, very wrong. The .NET Framework is Microsoft's implementation of the ECMA standard Common Language Infrastructure, or CLI. It has nothing to do with having an application run on a variety of operating systems. It defines a managed exectution environment and a common base class library that multiple lanugages targeting the CLI can use. It has nothing to do with being O/S independant, nor is it Microsoft's answer to Java. The only other CLI implementation I know of is the Mono Project. It's modeled after Microsoft's .NET Framework, but is not a bit-for-bit compatible implementation. For instance, the last I looked, Microsoft's System.Windows.Forms namespace doesn't exist in Mono, because all the classes in that namespace are specific to functionality found only in the windowing functionality of Windows.
