Dear accessred,

first you have to seperate the modules for your forem.

1.login and registration

2.Posting and viewing the messages

3.Posting and viewing the articles

4. admin control

second you have to start working for the modules and integrate them later.

Ask your queries seperately when you need any guidance.

PS: seperate the modules into sub modules.

all the best.

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.

Confused About Skinning User Controls

expinch27-Jun-07 16:40

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:


<div class="playerTemplate indianapolisColts">


<div class="rankContainer">
<h3>1</h3>
</div>


<div class="teamColorContainer teamColors">
<div class="colorDiv teamColor1 teamColorBorders"></div>
<div class="colorDiv teamColor2 teamColorBorders"></div>
</div>


<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 my GridView isn't bound to a SqlDataSource the edit control doesn't work

InvalidTypecast27-Jun-07 15:57

27-Jun-07 15:57

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?

Which is Better?

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.
