I was wondering if it is possible to use some type of validator from VS.net that would validate the following: The text box can only accept a 6 number/letter combination (no more no less). The first two characters can either be numbers or letters but the last 4 have to be numbers, for example the following would be accepted: (123456, PA1234). Is there a way to validate this or do I have to use javascript?? If there is a way how would I go about it? Thanks all. Chad

How would I do this? I have 3 files that have to be put in certian places on a harddrive. I want to make a program that will do this automatically. Is there something out there that I could use already? I was thinking maybe a install wizard or something like that, but i can find one that I like. Thanks Chad

What I am trying to do is have a 5 dropdown lists that will each have a couple of entries. When an entry is selected from one of the lists it will have a integer value assigned to it. So if the second entry in a list is selected it might have a value of 10 assigned to it. When the entry from the dropdown is selected I need to have a textbox that will add up all the values from each of the dropdowns. A Little Overview: For each of my dropdowns I am using an Oracle database to get my values. I think I might have to use javascript but I dont know much about javascript. When I am using a asp dropdown list I can easiy add the items from the database into the ddl, but when I try to do an "onchange" of an ASP ddl I cant get my javascript to work, mainly because I dont know it very well. When I use a html box, i can do the onchange with javascript but I cant fill the box with items from my database. So.... If you know anything about calling javascript from an asp dropdown. or Inserting items into a html drop down box from a database. Please help me out, thanks a lot.

Thankyou

How do you do this?? Can you make it so that an automatic method is called all the time. I cant make the server call a method. all I can do is enter in the address of my server and that is what the other server will send the XML file too. I know usually you need to call a method, but is it possible to have it call a default method or somehting like that? Any Ideas?? Thanks all.

I need a program that will run on a server that will be sitting idle waiting for a website to send it an xml file. when the xml file gets sent to the server I need to parse the xml file and insert some of the data into a oracle database. The program needs to be a http listener. the xml file will be small. Where do I start for making this program? Does anyone know if Oracle has a function like this built into it? Thanks all.
