Hi, Suppose I have pulled out data from a database into a data reader and load the DropDownList as follows.
Dim ddDR As OdbcDataReader = Nothing
Dim ddOdbcConnection As New OdbcConnection("server=(local);database=[dbname];user id=username;password=password;connection reset=false;connection lifetime=5;min pool size=1;max pool size=50;")
Dim ddOdbcCommand As New OdbcCommand("SELECT * FROM TableName", ddOdbcConnection)
ddOdbcConnection.Open()
ddDR = ddOdbcCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
DropDownList1.DataSource = ddDR
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "DisplayValueFieldFromDB"
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "DataValueFieldFromDB"
DropDownList1.DataBind()
What I would like to do now is read the Data from the DropDownList. I've read that the values can be retrieved as DropDownList.Items[index] - replace the
index with a number, which can go up to the maximum number of data members. I am not sure what the author meant by that could you please explain? Thank you in advance for your help.

I am writing my own user control and I'm wondering how to control its appearance in .NET 2.0. We can call my control 'PlayerTemplate' and it represents a template for a player in the NFL. The appearance of this control will be dictated by the team that the respective player plays for. Here is a small chunk of what the control is currently comprised of:
<!-- PAYTON MANNING -->
<div class="playerTemplate indianapolisColts">
<!-- Main Ranking Section -->
<div class="rankContainer">
<h3>1</h3>
</div>
<!-- Team Color Division -->
<div class="teamColorContainer teamColors">
<div class="colorDiv teamColor1 teamColorBorders"></div>
<div class="colorDiv teamColor2 teamColorBorders"></div>
</div>
<!-- Player Section -->
<div class="playerContainer teamColors">
<table class="playerTable">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" class="helmetCell">
<a href="" class="helmetLink"></a>
</td>
<td class="playerCell" style="">#18 Payton Manning | QB</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="teamCell">I.N.D. Colts, 8 years exp</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
My stylesheets are configued such that I only have to change the second css class of the main element to get the desired visual effects throughout all of the html elements of the control:
<div class="playerTemplate indianapolisColts>">
and the associated classes for the colts:
/* INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (eventually translate to a skin) */
.indianapolisColts .teamColors {background-color:white;border-top:1px solid #596267;border-bottom:1px solid #596267;}
/*teamcolorsection*/
.indianapolisColts .teamColorContainer .teamColor1 {background-color:#003B7B;}
.indianapolisColts .teamColorContainer .teamColor2 {background-color:#AEB6BB;}
/*helmet*/
.indianapolisColts .playerContainer .playerTable a.helmetLink {display:block;width:31px;height:24px;background-image:url(../../images/coltshelmet.gif);}
and another team for good measure....
/* NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (eventually translate to a skin) */
.newOrleansSaints .teamColors {background-color:#ffebbf;border-top:1px solid #564826;border-bottom:1px solid #564826;}
/*teamcolorsection*/
.newOrleansSaints .teamColorContainer .teamColor1 {background-color:black;}
.newOrleansSaints .teamColorContainer .teamColor2 {background-color:#cbb073;}
/*helmet*/
.newOrleansSaints .playerContainer .playerTable a.helmetLink {display:block;width:31px;height:24px;background-image:url(../../images/saintshelmet.gif);}
As you can see, I have my team classes organized such that the sub-elements of each playerTemplate get defined based on the top-level team css class.
I was trying to figure out how to do all of this using skins, but because I'm designing a custom user control I'm wondering if that is overkill. I could pretty easily expose a property called 'Skin' in my user control and apply the necessary team css class directly to the top level <div> and be done with it, but I'm wondering if I would gain something by implementing it through skins instead.
All of the skin examples I've seen are used to style known controls, does it even make sense to try to implement skinning for a custom-written user control? Obviously you'd have to add the SkinID to the usercontrol yourself, but how do you then associate that skin property back to a .skin file? I'm lost.

If I databind my GridView to a DataTable object instead of a SqlDataSource the Edit control doesn't change the non-readonly fields in my GridView to editable textboxes and change to Update/Cancel. It just executes the edit command without switching the UI of the GridView into textboxes so the user can edit the values.
Is there a way to get it to get the Edit control in the GridView to behave the same way as when its bound to a SQL Data Source when its bound to a DataTable?

Question 1: Which language is given more preference c# or vb .net ?
Question 2: Which is faster c# or vb .net ?
I have on the net but i didn't get any reasonable reply for this.

concerning web applications C# is the best choice.it is powerfull language just like java.when it comes to windows applications,i think better option is VB.

see,C# is epecially designed for web projects.even though updation is on progress,VB is not proper for web deployment. more over XML compatibility is important in web applications.thus we choose C#.

C# is the Best Language.
C# is fast and good when we go for Web Based Application.
VB is good when we go for the Windows Based Application.

depends upon the project C# and VB can be used.
C# is better in web based applications(OOPS concept like java)
Vb is better in windows based applications.
you can use these two at any where in applications and both can be replaced
by each other's code.
there are some disadvantages and advantages with C# and vb.
you must know before using them
all the best.

One of the most obvious differences is that C# has XML documentation and VB
does not (I think this is going to be rectified in the next version -but
dont count on it)
Essentially it could be argued (and is true to an extent) that if you can
program in one then you can program in the other.
I used to program on and off in VB6 but went for C# because it is cleaner
and a true OO language.
If you have the time then learn C# -you will always be able to use VB for
any quirks it may have but quite honestly I doubt you will want to or need
to.
VB.net programmers will probably champion that language (quite
understandibly) but I have yet to find one good reason to learn it over
C# -except perhaps that there are slightly more jobs for VB.net than C# (Im
in INDIA) at the moment -but this is changing quickly.
Whatever you decide will not be a mistake, since learning the framework and
real OO is perhaps the biggest obstacle you face.

Satips.

Which language is better depends entirely on where, when, why and how you use them. Neither of your questions are specific enough to show any differences:
Sakthi Sat wrote: Question 1: Which language is given more preference c# or vb .net ?
That depends entirely on who you ask.
Sakthi Sat wrote: Question 2: Which is faster c# or vb .net ?
They both compile to IL code, and that code becomes identical for equivalent program code, so there is no speed difference in the compiled code. They both use the .NET framework, so there is no speed difference in library calls.
