Yeah that's sort of what i went with except i used the same idea in a trigger <Style x:Key="MenuItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}"> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False"> <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" /> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> <ContextMenu x:Key="menu"> <MenuItem Header="\_Up" Command="{Binding Path=UpCommand}" Style="{StaticResource MenuItemStyle}" /> </ContextMenu> It still doesn't sit right with me. I wish i could change it to where it doesn't trigger off of the IsEnabled property. It just seems bad to trigger one property off of another property. I mean, theoretically a developer can trigger Visibility off Enabled, then trigger AllowDrop off Visibility, then trigger Focusable off AllowDrop (you get the point). Not that anyone would ever want to do that, but it does promote that behavior. Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

Sweet! That was easy enough :) For future readers this is the result that paulo helped me come up with in the aspx file: <asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="postRepeater"> <HeaderTemplate> <div class="post"> </HeaderTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <h2> <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Header")%></h2> <p> <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Content")%></p> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate> </div> </FooterTemplate> </asp:Repeater> and in the code behind: System.Data.DataTable dt = new System.Data.DataTable("Posts"); dt.Columns.Add(new System.Data.DataColumn("Header")); dt.Columns.Add(new System.Data.DataColumn("Content")); System.Data.DataRow row = dt.NewRow(); row\[0\] = "Header 1"; row\[1\] = "Content 1"; dt.Rows.Add(row); postRepeater.DataSource = dt; postRepeater.DataBind(); Thanks again :) Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

We typically don't add sections for a specific technology, but instead organise our sections around topics. Each article is then tagged by the specific attribute that it relates to, so for Mac and iPhone development you'd tag an article by 'MacOs' and/or 'Mobile/iPhone' If you've got content we'd love to see it! cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP

Thanks for the info. I'll test this out. Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

This is what I am talking about. What version of the .NET platform are you requiring be installed. I imagine some version of the C++ runtime is installed with that. Use the version of VC++ that matches that and you might be able to avoid using the redistributable. led mike

Hi, 2. you could do that once, manually. And I guess there is a way to do it programmatically, but I don't know right now. 3. no problem, the new toolbar in the end is just a folder somewhere, you can create/delete shortcuts in there programmatically. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Voting for dummies?

Thanks Judah, That seems to be the way to go Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

yeah the facebook dll does match (version number and everything). you were right though, I put the facebook.dll in the directory where the executable lives (instead of the plugin directory where my plugin lives) and it worked perfectly! I always thought that the dependencies all had to be in the same folder (or else should be registered) and it had me totally messed up. thank you so much!

I don't know how to explain it man. I'll try and figure something out. Thank you for your time. Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

all i am doing there is calling the beginread to listen for any data and when it comes just do an end read and read the data in a loop synchronously. Here is a Screenshot[^] of what i am doing here. -- modified at 18:00 Monday 19th November, 2007 UPDATE: Pretty wierd...after troubleshooting it further, i got it to work. before i sent the data on the client side, i converted it to a base64 string and on the server side the encoding function worked. what the piece of data is that i am trying to send through is a serialized object using binaryformatter. I guess the GetString function didn't like the format of the data??? Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

haha, sorry about that. I got a little confused;P. I figured Pad'Right' was when you put your pad on the left and push the orignal value to the 'Right'. I knew String.PadLeft or String.PadRight was what i was looking for in c# i just assumed padright was the one. Sorry for the confusion in this thread. Next time i'll be sure to make things more clear in the future!:-> Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
