I'm sorry if I offended anyone by posting this question in the General Discussions forum, but I honestly don't know where to turn to and thought that this forum would be the best place to look for a kind soul would could shed some light on this subject, as my readings of RFCs and postings on newsgroups has resulted in fruitless results. Would it be more appropriate to ask for referrals to places that may be able to answer my question?

I haven't read it, but supposedly this is THE book for those who want to learn the fundamentals of networking. Perhaps someone who has read this book can comment. An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201634422/

Hi there, I'm hoping that there's someone out there who's familiar enough with IPv6 to answer this question, or someone who can point me in the right direction to finding the answer. Here it goes... Time and time again I read about how hosts don't need to have a default gateway configured statically in IPv6 as they did in IPv4 becuase they will automatically discover the router via Neighbor Discovery Protocol. This is all well and good, except that Linux still supports the manual configuration of a router (route add -inet6 [ipv6_address]). What I don't understand is why this is supported at all. Since IPv6 lacks ARP requests, it seems as though a host would still have to resolve the router via NDP even if a static address is given to it. Can anyone clarify how specifying the L3 address of the gateway without an L2 address along with it is useful to the host? Thanks!

CommandEventArgs ex = e as CommandEventArgs; if (ex != null) ... Or if you're not using c# try typecasting

you can set the width of the dropdownlist to be the size of the text when the application loads... don't know about dynamically expanding the width

The way I would try to do it is by making a templated control along with a designer class for the control. If you have access to Kothari and Datye's book, "Developing ASP.NET Server Controls and Components", they have an example of a templated control starting on page 321 and later make a designer class for this control on page 386. hth, Orange

Are you calling DataBind() on page loads?

I have a templated composite control with the main parent control, a container control as its child control, and a button as the container control's child. When the button gets clicked, the event gets bubbled up to the container control but never up to the top parent. I checked the _parent value of the container control during OnBubbleEvent and the value is undefined... which is probably why the bubbling stops there. The strange thing is that the _parent value was defined when I added the container to the parent control. The value became undefined when I clicked the button. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks, Orange
