I have the same problem On my page i have a menu named muNavigation My problem is exactly the same as yours, this is my code (sample) but the child items does not pop out on hover muNavigation.Items.Clear(); muNavigation.MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels = 1; muNavigation.StaticDisplayLevels = 1; MenuItem miItem = new MenuItem(); miItem.Text = "Hello"; miItem.Selectable = false; MenuItem miChildItem = new MenuItem(); miChildItem.Text = "world"; miItem.ChildItems.Add(miChildItem); muNavigation.Items.Add(miItem); I cant figure this out. Anybody any ideas? Fanx There is someone in my head but it's not me - Pink Floyd

The only reliable way to tell what level of hardware you need to run on is to load test your application. Proper design and indexing can typically make a performance difference of 10-100x. So a well designed and implemented system can easly run on a tenth of the hardware of a poorly designed one. BTW I've worked on non-federated SQL servers with billion row tables and thousands of concurrent users and as long as we kept everything well tuned we didn't have any problems. I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon

Hi there, These links may give you a hint: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vsdebug.asp[^] http://blogs.msdn.com/mkpark/articles/86872.aspx[^]

I never pass any dates to a SQL server I always pass DD MM YY then build the date on the fly in the SQL server Strored Proc. Example below. ########################################################################################### CREATE PROCEDURE usp_myproc @YearInt int, @MonthInt int, @DayInt int AS DECLARE @CD_DATE datetime DECLARE @TempVarChar varchar(50) Set @TempVarChar = CAST(@DayInt As Varchar(2) ) + '/' + CAST(@MonthInt As Varchar(2) ) + '/' + CAST(@YearInt As Varchar(4) ) Set @CD_DATE = (Convert( datetime, @TempVarChar, 103 )) SELECT @CD_DATE go

I think you are confusing how the date is stored (as a binary number of 4 or 8 bytes) with how it is displayed. My: Blog | Photos WDevs.com - Open Source Code Hosting, Blogs, FTP, Mail and More

Since you don't mention which database you are using, I shall assume SQL Server 2000 as this is the most common on this forum. You can use sp_addlinkedserver[^] to establish the link to the other server, and then you can reference the server in your queries like this: SELECT * FROM [MyOtherServer].[TheDatabase].[TheOwner].[TheTable] TheOwner is usually dbo.

What you need to do is use relative paths through out your application. This way the application will work in any web server. ~Javier Lozano (blog)

Check your connection string. Make sure that you are connecting to the database. If you are using an OleDbCommand object, call the .Connection.Open() method on it. If you are just using a an SQL string, then you need to go through the DataAdapter to get the command object. See snippet below: OleDataAdapter myAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM TABLE", conn); myAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection.Open(); If the last line throws an exception, there's an error with your connection string. Or you don't have access to the SQL. ~Javier Lozano (blog)

Although it is possible (if your firewall allows it) I wouldn't really recommend it. You can, of course, connect via a VPN which would make it appear as if it is on a local network. VPN software will encrypt the data for you. If the communication is at an application level I would suggest looking into creating a web service to communicate with the database. This uses HTTP (so you can use HTTPS) and also it means that you define exactly the type of queries that can be run by virtue of the web methods that you expose.

Hi there, You can take a quick look at the ASP.NET Control Gallery, I like the one from Infragistics. http://www.asp.net/ControlGallery/default.aspx?Category=28&tabindex=0[^]

You may have to build a Session Manager object and store the session variables in your database. This is because the Http Session object cannot be shared. I had to build the Session Manager object to interface the old asp with the new asp.net pages, even though they both existed under the same project. Search of MSDN "How to share session state" gives you this article - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/converttoaspnet.asp

Dave Kreskowiak wrote: Because every time you do a complete rebuild of the application, the output directories get cleaned out Actually this is not true. I have multiple applications that have INI files in the Debug & Release directories and they are not effected in any way when performing any build type in the build menu of VS.NET. Are you talking about some action other than those in the build menu ?
