Hi.

I have an arraylist I populate from a specific field in the database. Say I get the following values:

Mountain
River
gvvv
Highlands
Sea
gvvv
gvvv
Mountain
Mountain
Lake
gvvv
Sea

As you can see I have 'gvvv' more then once in the arraylist. My question is, how can I remove all of the "gvvv" values from the arraylist, once it has been populated. I tried using arrlist.remove() but it did not work.

Dim intCount As Integer = 0
Do While intCount < arrErrors.Count
If arrErrors(intCount).ToString = "gvvv" Then
arrErrors.RemoveAt(intCount)

else

intCount += 1
End If
Loop

Great, it worked - thanks for the help.

A more appropriate solution would be to not return the unwanted values from the database in the place.

How are you populating the arraylist? You could filter the contents as they are being added by using the Contains method, or filter the dataset.

Hello, I'm looking for a way to detect from where the surfer is from.
I know google has such a thing and they can tell me from what country, region and even city I live in.

I know that in C# it something with colture.
How can I do it in ASP.NET?

We're writing a ASP.NET 2.0 (using C#) app, and in this app, we have several forms. On one of the forms, we're seeing some truly strange behavior.

When you repeatedly enter text into an edit field (in ur case an asp:TextBox) on a form, a history list gets created. Each subsequent time you begin to enter text into the edit field, this history list is displayed so you can pick a previous entry. So far, so good, right?

Our problem is that the history list is displayed about 100 pixels LOWER than where it should be (and it's always offset by the same amount). The vertical offset does not appear to be governed by the height of the table (or cells in the table), and it happens for ALL edit fields on the form. This behaviour has not been observed on any other foms on the same web site. The general format of the page follows:

div
/div
div
    form
        table
            tr
                td
                    asp:TextBox...
                    /asp:TextBox
                /td
            /tr
            tr
                td
                    asp:TextBox...
                    /asp:TextBox
                /td
            /tr
        /table
        asp:GridView
        /asp:GridView
    /form
/div

Does anyone have any idea as to what we may have done to cause this offset?

By history list do you mean the AutoComplete displayed by IE? Is FireFox working alright?

Yeah, the little history list thingy that drops down when you type the first letter.

Firefox chokes and pukes on the whole site in spectactular fashion. Since the site is on a "secure" intranet, and users aren't allowed to install software, it's guaranteed that everyone will be using IE...

BTW, when the history list is displayed, it's always the same vertical distance from the edit control you type in.

My current guess is that it has something to do with the CSS styles esp. the positioning. If you have the Web Developer toolbar you can try disabling the CSS and see if you have the same problem. If you are using inline styles try disabling that and see if that works out.

I googled a different way and found something interesting.

We're using IFRAME to contain our content pages, and I added the following style to the IFRAME tag in default.aspx:

style="position:relative; left:0px; top:0px;"

It brought the history list now exhibits a different offset characteristic - it's now just a few pixels higher than the bottom of the associated edit field, and a couple of pixels to the left. Once again, this behavior is only seen on this one page on the site. All of the others are okay.

Please don't say IFRAME when you ask us 2.0 gurus a question.
What I like to do is put everything inside html tables. Learn them, they are your friend.
Here is an example of a well designed master page. Theming is enabled on the page. In App_Themese\Main\Default.css I have the following.

Table
{
font-family:Arial, Verdana;
font-size:9pt;
white-space:normal;
width:100%;
vertical-align:top;

}

.EmptyRow
{
height:10px;
}

.EmptyRowSmall
{
height:2px;
}

Notice "white-space:normal" it prevents a lot of headaches. Any css class that doesn't have a "." in front of it is automatically applied. Hence the following style will be applied to all tables. Make sure you put EnableTheming ="True" in the page directive and supply Theme="Main" in content page.

Below you will see a well organized master page.
<code>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width:15%;">
</td>
<td style="width:85%;">
<asp:Label ID="lblHeading" runat="server" CssClass="Heading">Brokerage Rates Maintenance</asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="EmptyRow">
<td style="width:15%;">
</td>
<td style="width:85%;">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:15%; vertical-align:top;">
PUT MENU HERE.
</td>
<td style="width:85%; vertical-align:top;">
<asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:contentplaceholder>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>
</form>
</code>

I hope this is useful to you.

Ummm...

1) I didn't design this app, I'm just fixing niggly little problems in it.

2) It's a little late for a rewrite at this point. We're releasing the first beta this friday, and that means no structural changes unless it's a show-stopper.

I did find this though. It turns out to be a bug in IE6 regarding IFRAMES and forms...

I'm sorry your just fixing it and it has Iframes in it. Bummer. Iframes are buggy and there is always a better way. Good luck.

I asked the guy that implemented the iframes why he did it, and he said it was so that he could dynamically change the content like you can in a normal frameset.

All that's left to say about that is "alrightie then".

You're kidding me, right? I mean, <iframe> may not be the right tool for the job here...but <table> based layout is the trademark of a crappy web developer who thinks it's still 1995 and has no clue what a style sheet is. If you're putting everything in <table>s, you're really not allowed to claim that you're a guru.

Hmmmm, I must be a crappy web developer...

Table-based layouts are perfectly fine. Rigidly using of CSS is fairly impractical, and I refuse to sit there for hours on end trying to figure out what CSS elements are compatible in which browsers and to what extent. I simply don't have the time. My own personal website is a table-based layout because - well - it works in all the browsers, and it requires less work to produce.

You do realize as long as you respond to the cross posting crap, people will continue to do it? So, you're part of the problem here, not the solution.

It's not impossible to figure it out on your own and keep it to yourself. You just caved in man, admit it. Poke tongue | ;-P
