Thank you very much! It looks very promising. I will give it try and see if it works.

Hi, The AutoCompleteExtender control was not really designed to be used with a DropDownList, as it can only return a string array to the client. If using a TextBox, as oppossed to a DropDownList, is not a viable option for you then you may need to look at writing a custom control that extends the functionality of the AutoCompleteExtender to return name/value pairs. Clean code is the key to happiness.

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I need. I mean both interface and polymorphism. Thank you for enlightening me! I will try both ways and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

I just found out the problem is caused by a stupid mistake. There is duplicated CssClass is defined, one is in Master page and is called CssHideDiv, the other is in .css file and is called CssHiddenDiv. The open widnow is not using master page, but is using CssHideDiv. This is a mistake introduced by multiple developers defining the same css class. Thanks for everybody's help! I appreciate it!

Does anyone have any ideas on it? Not clearly, but try with setting the session timeout in Session_Start event on global.asax file. My Website | Ask smart questions

any suggestion would be appreciated!

Hi, Thank you for your help! I have gotten the answer from other site: SELECT IsNull(T1.AccountID, T2.AccountID) AS AccountID, ISNull(T1.Symbol, T2.Symbol) AS Symbol, T1.Fee, T1.Price, T2.Share, T2.Dollar FROM Table1 AS T1 FULL OUTER JOIN Table2 AS T2 ON T1.AccountID = T2.AccountID AND T1.Symbol = T2.Symbol ORDER BY AccountID, Symbol It's basically the same as the post from jose.

Yes, it means you end up with 60 items, which is what you want. Otherwise, you have one item, which you keep changing the value of.

thanks. I already figured it out.

Remember that you're actually storing the datatable twice (in a sense). It's values are being stored in the viewstate inside the binded control, and you are storing it, as a whole, also. With minimal rows, this would be fine. But at the table grows, the viewstate grows twice as fast and could lead to major memory headaches down the road. You also have the option of turning off viewstate for the binded control. There are several articles explaining this process.

Vicky, this sounds bizzare... although I had issues too when I would point to a javascript file instead of embedding it within the HTML. If you only want an alert box, then do this: In your child page, add the following line within the Page_Load event: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... if (!Page.IsPostBack) //executes only during the initial load { this.Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "alert('any message can go here...');"); } } This would be a simple way to do alert. Try and see if it works, if not, send your source code to me NightHawk13@hotmail.com (if you feel comfortable doing so) and I will try to correct your code.

I have read some article about "To spawn a process that runs under the context of the impersonated user, you cannot use the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method" at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889251. Since I use both Windows Authentication and impersonate=true, I guess that's why the process couldn't start at all. But the solution posted at the above link only apply to asp.net 1.0 and 1.1. I am using asp.net 2.0 .... So I am still struggling to try to find a solution for the problem.... Do you have any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Thanks! I got it.
