Cheers, I have been using asp.net for a little bit now but never heard of that control. thanks.

Hey, I'm displaying a web page which pulls images from a database and displays them on the screen. I want to display these images vertically, so they go from left to right, not top to bottom. Im using c# and a mysql db. I have tried using a datagrid to display all results pulled form the db, but this displays them down the screen and I cant find anyway to change this. Is there a better way to do this without using a datagrid? or can I make the datagrid display them vertically? Cheers. MySweet10!

Hey thanks heaps for your reply. I have started to read up on those techniques you have given me, however I am unsure if that link you gave me points to a reference webpage? When i follow the link it takes me a safe2web page that has no coding! Thanks again. tmoney101

Hello, I am trying to create a simple webpage which displays a image from a record in my mysql (v4) db. Im using asp.net c#. I found the article on this site name "Storing Images in MySQL using ASP.NET" however I am really having trouble getting the example to compile. Does anyone out there know of any other good examples or tutorials I can follow? Has anyone done this before that could give me some guidance? Thanks for your time.

I did something similar using c#. I was able to create directories and files and write them to my server using the standard stream. Although I didnt allow for browsing. As far as ftp I dont think that would be the best option in this case. Let me know if u want me to paste a quick example. MySweet10! - The Search Ends Here

Hey, I have a site which contains a search feature I wrote in asp.net. I have statistics for my general site info, and it shows me how many people go to the search page, but it doesnt show me what they are searching for. So i am wondering the best way to go about this. I though I could just create another table in my database and record the search results to it. Is this a common approach? And if i did this would it slow down the searching? If anyone has had experience i would be good to get some knowledge on the best and simplest way to go about it. ThanKs for your time. MySweet10! - The Advanced Search Engine

Hey I have developed a webpage that has a search feature. Now I have read articles in the past that warn about security - how hackers could type bad input that could drop or damage your tables, and ways to go about stopping this from happening. Now does this still apply today with .net v2? As i have noticed it has some built in security that stops you from entering ceratin characters. If I still should add extra security does anyone know of any good articles or have an pointers? Thanks!

Hey, First I couldnt find a direct database forum, but i am using asp.net, so here it goes. I am creating a search function, and I want to search all tables in my mysql db. Now I have researched and found that this can be done simply by seperating all the tables in the FROM clause with commas, or using a UNION statement, but what I want to know is can you just select all of the tables in the db at once? All my tables are identicle in structure, and at first i would just like to search the one field from each table. I have tried using something like "SELECT * FROM *" but i get errors. The main reason I want to do this is because everytime I add a table in the db I dont want to have to edit the code. If anyone can help or even point me in direction of some good articles it would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Hey, I am about to launch a information website in that I hope to make money from internet advertising. I am really new to advertising on the net and have a few questions. First how do you prove how many hits your site gets? If someone wants to advertise on my site, surely just telling them how many hits I get isnt good enough, as I could be making up the total. So whats the general practice for this? The second question is should I handle all the advertising myself? Do I just talk with the client, obtain a banner from them and charge them, all are there services out there that can help with this process? Thanks very much for your time, would appreciate any feedback. cheers.

Hey, To give you my back ground, I come from a strong C++ background and have been using asp.net (c#) for a couple of months now and am not bad. I can create registration sites, secure logins, connecting to databases etc.. Now I just had a friend who needs someone to code the backend for a e-commerce site, the interface will be built by the other person but they need me to handle the backend coding, so basically what i would like advice on, is should I take the job? I am not actually sure how big of a job this is. I know that the customer needs to be able to pay for the items by credit card. I am pretty sure I will need a secure site, and use of a ssl certificate, and the use of a merchant account from a bank? but again I dont (at the moment) have much experience. If anyone could give me advice on whether A. I would be able to complete the job, B. How long should it should take, anc C. any good articles that could get me on my way I would be much appreciative. Thanks for your time.

Ok, yes I am using mfc. Can you recommend any good articles on importing its type library in the application? Once i import it, can i then code pretty much the same as as explained in the tutorial i followed in my original post? ie. will i be able to use myWordDoc.SaveAs" for example? Or will it be completely different because im not using the com object? Thanks very much for you help.

Hey, I just found this article http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/automate\_word.asp Its a great article and I follwed it and succesfully built my program in visual c# .net. But now I would like to build the same program in visual c++.net, however I get stuck on the first step, adding the microsoft word COM object. I have tried every way to get the reference window open but cant do it. Am i doing something wrong? Cheers.

Hey, im building a page using asp.net (c#). I have never done it before but would like to build a search feature that searches my mysql database and returns relevant results. I have searched the net for help and found some tutorials, altough they are not that good. While in the beginning the search would not be used much its my hope to be getting a lot of people using the search function eventually, so I would like to build it using the best approach so I will not have any bad problems or errors down the line. Does any one know of any good articles, or tutorials that could help me out? thankyou.

thanks for your help. Ok, so do you know if its possible to that the PIA installs on the machine during installation of my software? If this is possible do you know any good help / turorials? I had a search but couldnt find much. thanks again

hey, I have devloped a program using visual c# express that performs a word mail merge using a com object. Now i am pretty new to .net and c# so this is where my problem is. I would like to know how .net works, as when I "publish" the project to a folder on my pc, and run the setup file, the program installs and it runs fine. However when I tried to run it on my laptop it would not run. It told me it didnt have the correct word PIA (interop). I also notcied that my laptop is running a different version of word. My questions are: Firstly does a pc have to have the .net framework installed to run my c# application? How can I develop my c# program so that the automation will work with a different version of word, and so that it isnt missing the required PIA? Thanks for your time. Any help or pointers is very much appreciated.

OK, I am about to pull my hair out, and this is why. I am building a webpage using asp.net (c#), that collects data via a form. The data is saved to a mysql db. Now I have a ms word document on my pc that is a template. It has certain sections where the data colected from the form needs to be inserted. Now of course a mail merge is the perfect solution but how do i do this? I would love to have it done on the server, but I have read and searched and cant find any easy way to do, or any way at all for that matter. I thought I found a solution is JSisys's WordReport. But going to there website I noticed it has dissapeared, with no mention. Is there anyway I can do this using asp.net on the server? I know I can do this manually on my pc, if i just export a text file containing the data from the web form and use that file to perform a mail merge with ms word open, but there must be a way where i can eliminate the manual process of opening word and doing it that way?????? I have looked at automation from a c++ program but I belive this just opens word and automates it this way. And I dont wish to word to open everytime someone submits the form... Can anyone help me out? It would be so much appreciated I cant explain. Cheers
