Remember that the physical location of the host is irrelevant

I don't agree. The physical location can be important. You will often have a higher latency if the physical location is far away (that makes sence) Let's say you put all your servers in Honolulu and all of your customers/users is located in Iceland. That's a wierd example, but in my case I always choose a hosting provider with datacenters close to my users. There is reason for why Microsoft put server centers all over the world and not one big data center in the US.

I'm having this javascript error on "My settings" ReferenceError: AttControl is not defined [https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Modify.aspx:16298] No css.. Pretty minimalistic page..

Our best guess is that you are 32. Is it close? Yes it was very clos. I'm 36. Impressive! :)

Now I found it.. You can search here : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Surveys/List.aspx?srvid=1427&sl_st=0&pgnum=1[^]

The lists on the frontpage:

0 Name 500
1 Name 400
2 Name 300
3 Name 200
4 Name 100

Shouldn't this list start at 1?

Tried TypeScript? I've been playing around with it for a few days and I'm not sure what I think of it. It's almost javascript, but you get some benefits by using types and maybe a easier syntax. I installed Mads Kristensen's Web Essentials 1.3 and of course the official plug-in for Visual Studio Web Essentials crashes from time to time, but Mads is working on it :) Do you have any experiences using TypeScript? Maybe some examples to share? How do you solve using libraries like jQuery(ui), knockout, underscore etc? It's really boring to write all these typescript interfaces. Typescripts homepage should have a directory for interfaces for the most used js-libraries (or maybe such directory exists somewhere?)

You will have to use a sms gateway. That's your first step. After that you will have to read their api documentation to figure out how to create the code you need. Sms gateway providers have different api's so it's impossible to help you with code before you choose which gateway to use. Google "sms gateway api"

SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue() does not take datatype as an parameter. You should add the parameter name and value (not datatype)

sql_command.Parameters.AddWithValue("param_member_id", Request.QueryString["id"]);

http://derekreynolds.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/using-sqlcommand-and-addwithvalue-parameters-to-execute-sql-insert/[^] But your error "Input string was not in a correct format" is because some convert's did not succeed. When converting strings-->int etc you should use TryParse

private static void TryToParse(string value)
{
int number;
bool result = Int32.TryParse(value, out number);
if (result)
{
Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", value, number);
}
else
{
if (value == null) value = "";
Console.WriteLine("Attempted conversion of '{0}' failed.", value);
}
}

There are no "best way" Use a programming language you are familiar with. If you know PHP, use PHP, if you know ASP.net use it. But Dreamweaver? I don't think that's the best IDE for any language, but that's my opinion. In ASP.NET there's a complete Membership setup ready in minutes. And it's secure! (using hashed passwords, password salt and are safe from sql-injections) Rahul Rajat Singh[^] have written a nice beginners article : Understanding ASP.NET Roles and Membership - A Beginner's Tutorial[^] If you don't have Visual Studio, you can download the express version for free

W3Schools "great" tutorial is not great! They put code in mvc views and don't use mvc as it's ment to be used. Do not read that tutorial!

Remember that the file which loads the contactform has to be in the same folder as your Contacts.ashx. Or else it won't work (404, file not found) If it's not in the same path/folder you have to change the action-attribute in the form-tag.

Isn't your question about preventing this?
