In the previous GridView post , we figured out how to create a simple updating GridView without a lick of code. But it only updated a value from a TextBox, nothing too difficult about that. What would happen if one of the columns needed a DropDownList...

A couple years back, I made a proposal online for a new feature in C#. It gathered some interest in the newsgroup. I later emailed it to someone on the C# team at Microsoft (I believe it was Eric Gunnerson but I'd really have to look it up), who emailed...

Starting to get more questions about GridViews and SqlDataSources on the forums I haunt. On the surface, these two components seem to offer a quick path to application development with no coding. And sure enough, once you figure them out, you don't have...

Return visitors (thanks to both of you) will notice that there's something new on the page -- mainly some ads. I have no delusions of retiring on the ad revenues, but if they can pay for the hosting, I'd be pleased. We will return to our regular techy-talk...

Under ASP.NET 1.1, the ASP.NET engine is not (by default) responsible for the application's image, style sheet, and javascript files. These are served up directly by IIS. ASP.NET can be made responsible for these file types by playing with the ISAPI file...

Apparently, on a scale of 0 - 40, measuring how much of a conservative/Republican one is, I scored an 11% (which I guess is "average liberal") However, afterward, I checked the Javascript source and found it's a bit funky. Basically, everyone starts with...

Merry Christmas. Attending midnight mass last night, (message delayed a bit due to technical difficulties) I was reminded of what is clearly one of the dumbest Christmas traditions practiced by many. Many (probably most) Christians will display a nativity...

For those of you who weren't on my Christmas card list (or whose name fell after the point where I ran out of envelopes), my Christmas card for 2006 is available here (785K PDF). Download it, print it out (one 8 1/2 x 11 page), fold it into quarters,...

Like most Americans (and many others around the world), I've spent a lot of time the passed few weeks shopping for Christmas presents. Actually, I didn't spend that much until this week, which was part of the problem, so this week was a panic. Anyway,...

Finally! .NET 2.0 has been out for a year. Finally found the time to move our main application to 2.0. It's been a bit of an adventure. There are 12 class libraries, 2 server control assemblies, a service, a web app and various utilities. Two of the class...

I had stopped posting my results of online quizzes -- mainly because I'd stopped taking online quizzes -- but since I did so well on this one.. I'm not sure which 4 questions I got wrong (I was confident on all but one or two of them), but it was not...

To follow up on my earlier message on life expectancies, we should talk about the other confusing aspect of them: Why are they sometimes ridiculously low. For example, the present life expectancy for someone living in the USA is 77, which you'd think...

After my messages about Rock Star: Supernova, I guess now I can talk about the other reality show I watch, NBC's " Biggest Loser ", which takes a group a overweight people, and puts them through a regiment of diet & exercise. The winner is the one...

I hate posts which are just links to other pages (which is actually not true --- I do like reading other people's blogs which are just links --- I just think it's cheating when I do it) But this site has a built in reason to blog a link to it (He's trying...

I've noticed that the video, in my downloads section, of my friend lighting a bonfire in his backyard has been downloaded some 800 times. So, I figured I'd upload the video of him firing off his cannon, but this time I put it up on YouTube. Funny thing...

I just noticed that if I write three more blog entries (well, now two more), my output for the passed three months will match that of the previous 15 months. An Additional 5, and we can make it an even two years. Share this post: Email it! | bookmark...

Over the weekend, I attended the third NJ Code Camp. And since the moderators asked nicely, I presented this series as a talk. Overall, the lecture didn't go well. (I was too nervous and talk too quickly. Oddly, on one of the evaluation sheets, someone...

Time tramples on and those .NET 1.1 applications that were shiny and new just a few years ago are probably beginning to show their age. Improvements and refinements in every application or class library have probably left behind a goodly number of dead...

Finding the Identity of the current user is one of those ASP.NET issues that causes confusion and consternation, especially given the different authentication schemes and application configurations available in ASP.NET. In particular, HttpContext.Current.User...

Gave a little overview of my favorite logging tool last night at our local user group's monthly meeting. I was not in the mood to install Powerpoint on my laptop, so I decided to write a little web app to act as its proxy. It also doubled as a platform...
