Hello,

Does anyone know if you can make the calendar control render to show only the current week. Instead of displaying as a whole month.

Thanks for the help.

Thank you know I did not see that.

I was able to do the same sorta think with the code you have there, but I was trying to get the physical control to shrink down as well. Appears you are stuck with the whole hieght and width for a months view.

I think it does shrink down, as long as you don't specify the width and height for the table cells. The example I gave you, as is, does this.

Well thanks for the tip. I did try no width and height specification and that did not work. It seems the calendar control does have a default fixed width and height.

Automatically downloading a font for the client

I am using a font only available on my machine.

But I need it downloaded to the client automatically when the page is viewed.

Does any1 have a link to a page with the code?

1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

The CSS2 specification includes the @font-face directive, which can be used to specify a URL for downloading a font. Take a look here for the description and an example:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-descriptions[^]

I'm not sure what the browser support is, but it's a place to start.

Question about advancing my programming skills

I originally posted this question on the work/job issues board a few weeks ago but that board doesn't seem to get much activity so I'm reposting it here. I'd greatly appreciate your input:

I've been working as a web developer for 2 1/2 years now. It's my first programming job since graduating school and while I was waaaaaay underpaid, it's been great professional experience for me. The time has come however, for me to begin looking for better opportunities (i.e. a higher salary) and I was just wondering what you guys feel is the best set of advanced skills I should be learning before sending out my resume.

Some have said to get into VOIP. Others have said to take some classes dedicated on security programming. I've been given about a half dozen different recomendations so I was just hoping you guys could help me narrow it down to one or two skills that have the brightest future ahead.

My current specialty is .NET programming (both vb.net & c#) but I also know Java & C/C++ pretty well also (plus of course the obvious ones such as ASP, JSP, Javascript, etc). I also work with Sql Server.

Any advice you can give me on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I think having .NET skills and Java skills covers a lot of bases. Add some real experience with web application development (including client-side scripting) and solid experience with relational database design/development and you're in very good shape.

What do you enjoy doing? Do you like database programming? web programming? building desktop applications? lower level programming for, say, device drivers? does a particular business appeal to you, such that marrying your technical skills to specific business processes is appealing?

I'm not surprised that you would get so many different suggestions for what skills would "have the brightest future ahead". What you enjoy doing is what would give you the brightest future.

Pass DropDownList selected value to Label - FindControl problem?

FionaDM24-Apr-06 3:27

FionaDM

24-Apr-06 3:27

I want to pass the value of the selected item in a dropdownlist to a label. The dropdownlist is inside a FormView and
the label is outside in the main form. I'm trying to do this by implementing an event handler for the event
OnSelectedIndexChanged.

I cannot get it to work as I get an error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object w.r.t code: Label1.Text = myDDL.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();

Here's the ASP/HTML

...
<asp:formview>
....
<insertitemtemplate>
....
<asp:dropdownlist id="DropDownList1" runat="server" datasourceid="SqlDataSource1"
datatextfield="StaffID" datavaluefield="StaffID" selectedvalue="<%# Bind("StaffID") %>" autopostback="True" onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged" ondatabound="DropDownList1_DataBound">

....

....

<

<asp:sqldatasource id="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
connectionstring="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConnectionString %>"
selectcommand="SELECT StaffID FROM Staff_tbl">

...
<asp:label id="Label1" runat="server" text="Label">

Here's the event handler (c#)

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
DropDownList myDropDownList = (DropDownList)FindControl("DropDownList1");
Label1.Text = myDropDownList.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();
}

My FindControl clearly isn't doing what I think it should.

I can get this to work if the dropdownlist is not inside a FormView where there is no need to use FindControl.

E.g.

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
Label1.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();
}

But unfortunately I NEED to have the dropdownlist inside a FormView.
Thanks

Your drop down list will be rendered on the client with a name like FormViewName_DropDownList1.

Thanks - I had omitted to specify the container (FormView1). Was

DropDownList myDropDownList = (DropDownList)FindControl("DropDownList1");

but should have been

DropDownList myDropDownList = (DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("DropDownList1");

Many thanks

How about something like this?

{
  DropDownList myDropDownList = (sender as DropDownList);
  if (myDropDownList != null)
    Label1.Text = myDropDownList.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();
}

I have just installed the .NET Framework 1.1 on my machine. But the web application I was developing can no longer access the database I have. I keep getting the error.....

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Unspecified error

Now I know it has something or other to do with permissions. And Have been messing around with every option I can find but still it doesn't want to access it.

Another strage thing it is doing, is I have a number of different .jpgs for the different webforms. And because when I upload it to my webhost it doesn't recognise the file path c:\webapplication....etc etc I simply store all the .jpgs in the root folders and just access it by Image1.jpg instead of having a path name. Right now one of my webforms beckground is blank, if I change it to Image4.Jpg it shows up, if I change it back to Image5.jpg it goes blank again, despite both files being in the root folder.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's ok I found and fixed the problem. For reference the problem was....

In the .NET Framework 1.0, ASP.NET applications use the TEMP folder that is designated by the environment variables to store temporary files. In .NET Framework 1.1, ASP.NET applications use the profile folder for the local ASPNET account to write temporary files. This profile folder is C:\Documents and Settings\ServerName\ASPNET\TEMP. The ASPNET account has permissions to write to this folder.

just point the href of your hyperlink to the document on your server's file system.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
