All in all, there is no "best" method. The best method is the one that fits your needs.

One other thing to add to this hilarity...
If you're concerned about using the gridview control, the best bet is the repeater. They are opposite ends of the spectrum - gridview gives you a LOT of stuff for free, the repeater, gives you nothing. The benefit of a repeater is that you have total control over the HTML that gets spit out, you don't even need to use a table ( which all these other controls are going to use ), so it can be used to emit, breadcrumbs, or any other format you'd like.

but I thought the GridView was a grid, not a table  Now I'm just all confused, I'd better go buy some ASP.NET books.

Hi All you Clever people.
I have a very simple question to ask. I have a string object that is in an xml format. All I want to do is take the content of this string object and write it to an xml file on say the C:\ drive.
Please help if someone know of a quick and easy way. You help is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Elizma

What? You are a developer and you don't know how to write a file to disk? I must be missing something here, yes?

Hi,
There was no need for sarcasm! I do know how to write a file to disk! After investigation we found that it was not me being stupid but some security issues! I was just double checking out of frustration that it wasn't me being stupid!!! So next time stop wasting your own time giving stupid answers if you dont want to answer the question that was asked. Especially if you dont know the full story! There is reasons why people sometimes ask questions that sound stupid to "boffens" like you.
Guess the saying is right. "There is no such thing as a stupid questions. It all depends on who you ask!"
Anyway. Got the problem sorted out! And no! It was not my code!
Kind Regards,
Elizma

I am almost 9 months pregnant! I am tired, I am cranky and a list of all the pregnant crap out there. I asked a stupid question out of frustration. You gave me a crappy reply. Maybe I misunderstood your question and felt offended by it. That is why I tried to explain to you why I asked a stupid question.
This a**hole is f***ing off!

If that is true I apologize for my last post. I certainly don't want to cause you any stress.

Apparently your question was not stupid but just that you did not supply enough information for us to determine what the problem was.
I am glad you resolved the problem.
All the best to you and your baby. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi,
Thanks for you reply. Your solution is exactly what I did, but for some or other reason we only got blank files amoung other problems.
Got the problem sorted out at the end. Seemed to be a security issue and bad data issue rather than a coding problem. I was just trying to double check to make sure that I am not being stupid and that the problem is somewhere else.
Still appreciate your reply.
Kind regards,
Elizma

Respected Sir,
I have developed a web application in VS 2005.
It has a report created in Crystal report.
It works fine on my development machine or even on my web server (while the project is running locally on web server itself).
But i am not able to get that repport after deploying the project on my server and accessing from client.
i am using the URL like http://PublicIP/ProjectName/frmLogin.aspx
It shows me the error "Load Report Failed."
I have googled a lot but can not get any idea....
My code is------
Dim rptRefForm As RptShowRefForm
Dim ref_no, year As Integer
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
ShowReport()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ShowReport()
Try
conn = New SqlConnection(constr)
cmd = New SqlCommand("spr_getReport", conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@ref_no_toShow", Glb_RefNo))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@FinYear", Glb_FinYearFrom))
dadapter = New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
ds = New DataSet
dadapter.Fill(ds)
rptRefForm = New RptShowRefForm
rptRefForm.Refresh()
rptRefForm.SetDataSource(ds.Tables(0)) rptRefForm.SetDatabaseLogon("DBUserName", "DBPWD")
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptRefForm
CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind()
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
lblError.Text = ex.Message
End Try
End Sub
And on click of a button i want to export this report in to PDF format...
for that i m using...
Private Sub btnExport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExport.Click
Dim oStream As New MemoryStream ' // using System.IO
'this contains the value of the selected export format.
ShowReport()
oStream = rptRefForm.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat)
Response.Clear()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Try
Response.BinaryWrite(oStream.ToArray())
Response.End()
Catch err As Exception
Response.Write("< BR >")
Response.Write(err.Message.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Please assist me how can i run that report from the client...
What is the problem..Is there any security issue.....
I will be highly obligue..

I have a weird problem where the Text specified for my RadioButtons doesn't show when the buttons are inside a table column. Any ideas why this is happening?
|
|
|
|
|
post your code so we can see what is happening.
Maybe the columns arent wide enough to hold the text..
|
|
|
|
|
It only works as is, but without the width attribute, the TD seems to extend off the bounds of the designer. Setting decreasing widths I saw the text creeping out from the right.
[table]
[tr]
[td]
[asp:RadioButton runat="server" ID="optClosedJobs" Width="220px" GroupName="ArchiveType" Text="Export Documents for Closed Jobs" /]
[/td]
[td][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
|
|
|
|
|
Basically the radiobutton displays ok for me with no widht and then when I put the width in it depends how wide I set it to how much you can see, what is the oringinal problem then?

Maybe it's because he is using '[' and ']' instead of of '<' and '>'

It actually isn't for want of looking for those instructions I asked. Maybe my mind was on other things, and still is, because I genuinely don't see any such instructions.
