What kind of error are you getting? Are you sure it is trying to access it the same way it is stored in the database? Sometimes when you pull things out of the database, if it thinks there is a SQL Injection risk, it will stop reading. It would help to get an error message, and some relevant code...

Hi Michael, I found out the problem actually. I am not sure why this caused the problem in my code, in the divs with the class fieldsetQuestion and then fieldsetPicture, I had them both each at width:50%, I changed them to below 50% and now it doesnt crash anymore. Thanks a lot for your help though!

I assume here that you can get the Excel, Workbook and Worksheet objects... String sFileName = <full path to file>; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application oApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application(); Workbook wkb = oApp.Workbooks.Open(sFileName, .....); Worksheet sheet1 = wkb.Worksheets["Sheet 1"] as Worksheet; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.CheckBox cb = sheet1.CheckBoxes("Check Box 101"); ...the rest should be obvious. For example, cb.Value = true; That's the code. The non-obvious part to me was the name - in this case "Check Box 101". In the upper left corner of Excel, as you click from cell to cell, it shows the name of the cell. For example, A1, A2, etc... If you RMB on the CheckBox it will show the name of the CheckBox in this very same location. You can change the name to whatever you want. That's the name you use in code to access the CheckBox from the list. Excel will auto-name them so there is some predictability. But I've received spreadsheets where the names are all over the map. Good luck!

Thanks it works!

AS well as the previous comment, why would you write code that calls FindControl and has no block to make sure that it succeeded ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

There are a couple of things that you might want to check: + The version of the ASP.NET that your demo application runs under. + Do you really create the application for the demo in IIS? or it's just a sub folder of another web application? + Make sure the assembly contains the sales.Global type should appear in the bin folder. Also, IMHO the Dundas support team may give you better help to get you quickly started with the product.

Thanks for your help! Sincerely, The Major Rager

Because you are using chart in an ASP.NET application, I think you may consider using a third party component like Dundas Chart[^].

Anyways, I was able to work around it, I had to basically re-engineer everything I did, and use the second definition using strings instead of ListItems in the DropDownList. Thanks for everything. Sincerely, The Major Rager

Just as the other two people have said. But, this event can't be handled server-side in ASP.NET. There is no event for it. You can only handle this event in client-sie JavaScript. But, this is really a question for the ASP.NET or Web Development forums. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Thanks for replying, but I am using ASP.NET, which means Web Forms instead of just a Window Form, do you have an example for that?

Do you want to wait for some external process - or for an internal process to complete. If the latter you will need to look at threading and suspending a thread until an event or trigger occurs.

It won't work. Your control is recreated on every post back, no matter what. You need to store the text in viewstate, and restore it, assuming the control is incapable of doing this for you.

When you move to another page, all contact with the class instance that was running the last page is lost. You have to remember in ASP.NET, you don't get one class instance for the page, you get one every time the page is rendered, which is brand new, unless it's a postback, and then it is still brand new, but can repopulate some fields from viewstate.

Thanks for your reply, it turned out it was whitespace. I had whitespace in my connection string. That is why it was crashing. Sincerely, The Major Rager

Hi, thanks for replying to my message. I actually used this ((TextBox)(Page.FindControl(identity))); where identity was the name of the text box and I was able to get and cast the control as a text box and then manipulate the data in it. Thanks a lot for replying however! Sincerely, The Major Rager
