I have a public method in my applications MasterPage which I can call from within a UserControl - i.e. by: ((MasterPage)this.Page.Master).MyMethodName(); This works fine from behind a button say (in the User Control) as we're effectively doing a postback. This updates a label control in the...

I guessed that javascript was the way to go with this. Can anyone suggest how to make use of this in this example? Thanks again.

I have a DropDownList control within a cell in a row in a GridView control on my web page. Ideally what I want is that when a user changes the selection in the DropDownList control, the cell changes colour (i.e. maybe green) to indicate some further action needs to be taken - i.e. the 'Update'...

I'm still battling with this and making no progress (too stubborn for my own good!). Are there any decent walkthroughs out there that I've overlooked? Anything like that would be of great help.

I'm familiar with the building blocks - i.e. getting the data, loading the data, etc. It's more the means of putting it all together hence the request for a walkthrough / sample to follow. Can anyone suggest one that can be followed? Thanks again.

I need to have a GridView component (or AspxGridView if need be) on a web page - and be able to have a ComboBox (or equivalent) in one of the columns. This will show a status for the respective record - i.e. 'Pending', 'Active', 'Completed', 'Cancelled', etc. - which is stored as an integer and...

Thanks for the suggestion - but when I tried that yesterday (from some code I found online) I found that it gave me both vertical and horizontal lines. However that was the simplest way to control both together. :-) I had to resort to setting a CssClass against the ItemStyles of the template...

Not being all that experienced with css - would someone be able to suggest how I can achieve these vertical lines in the GridView cells via means of setting the style? Thanks again. Steve

I'm making use of a standard GridView control (in ASP.Net with C# code). I want vertical grid lines - however when I set the GridLines property (for the GridView control) to either 'Vertical' or 'Both' - the resultant vertical line is only faint (possibly a light blue thin line). How can you...

That could well depend on whether the user in question has the security to create objects within the database. Try ODBC and see how you go...

I was asking whether 'robodad669' whether they were making use of an ODBC connection? I think the issue I was having was due to the security (i.e. not having the permission to create temporary tables within a database) via means of a hard-coded connection string. Working through an ODBC...

I'm now working through an ODBC connection (preset to the required db on the required server) - let's call it 'ODBC_CONNECT1'. Then in the macros I've got (in part): ' Load data Dim strCmdText As String strCmdTextSubPara = "exec mystoredproc" With...

Thanks. I was able to make use of somthing like this successfully. I used: System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB"); DateTime d = Convert.ToDateTime(myDateString, culture);

I had a Windows application that was processing files and as part of that was converting strings into dates. In the Windows app - the entry of 'Nov-08' was being converted to a date with: - day = 1 - month = 11 - year = 2008 However within a Windows service (using the same code as the...

The imported files are submitted by the site users - and are essentially out of our control. We're trying to keep the restrictions (i.e. file format to be used by the submitter) down to a bare minimum - else this may scare some users off (as not all are technical know-hows). As such is there...
