Doing a forum suckx bad as you have to make a 1000 posts yourself to see if it works and you dont even get credit for it! OK, admin rights is cool Smile | :)

It took me at least ten minutes to even see the problem, I sure as hell can't see what's causing it. Maybe some temporary table borders would help?

Corrr! That's a long time Smile | :)

Except this is Win 2K Pro accepting 10 connections and there's only about 10 people know it's there (at least 4 of those won't even be looking!) Smile | :)

Hmm, everything is tables. Maybe it will work. It's not so bad anyways Smile | :)

I havent seen it happen again though Confused | :confused:

That should be OK. Smile | :)

you can increase to 40 though, but you didnt hear that from me Anyways 10 is better than 2/3 like I have in XP! Meaning when I develop, I need one connection for VS and one for debugging.

Cheers Smile | :)

I forgot to ask...

So what do think so far? The numbering schemes took about 3 days to get it perfect. Didnt realize the post placing would be so difficult, especially when you deal with threads that span longer than the search time (ever noticed that on CP how well the posts are positioned? i wouldnt mind comparing mine to theirs Smile | :)

) . Luckyly the paging fit into my "well-thought-of" scheme so well, it took a whole 5 minutes to implement Blush | :O

Anyway cheers Smile | :)

Hi Paul:

I tried it the way u said.But still its the same.I created all the datasets on the design time.did the matching of the datasets to the corresponding control in the design page by setting the datasource property.

And all that i really did in the code was get the data from the Dbase and populating the listboxes with them.But still would not work.

Now i shall try commenting out the population one by one and see what happens
Taks and Paul thanks anyows for the help.U folks are great

Don't thank us til we get a result. In fact I should thank you... I didn't know those FindBy functions existed for DropDownLists until I read your code; that'll be really useful for me. Smile | :)

So tell me... what is that DataAccessService? Is that something of yours or something I can download?

I had a similar 'problem' recently. I had inadvertently removed the 'onclick' directive on the control. This needs to point at the function/sub that handles the click. I know how you feel - its like the https://sitename:8081/securepage.aspx problem I had - for some reason this won't work. After 4 hours of debug/code change/network sniffing Mad | :mad:

, etc...I finally realized that you cannot specify a port when redirecting to https (by default 443). Stupid cockpit error!!! WTF | :WTF:

It's one of those things you can looks at all day and not realize what happened. I hope your problem is the 'onclick'!;)

Cheers, James

Global function / values

Ray Cassick10-Oct-02 7:49

I am wondering which would be beter here..

In the older ASP days I would place any global values that I needed to set into a asp file that would be included at the top of every other page in the system. I could tehn refer to those vars inside the page that they were included in.

I have been playing around with different ways of doign this now that I am getting into the ASP.NET stuff. I notice that I can place variables (and the properties that can get/set them) intothe global.asax file of my site and then refer to them by simply using 'Gloabl.<property_name>'.

Is there any advantage to one way Vs. the other? My thinking is that using the global.asax method might be a bit faster since it does not require a physical file to be read and included as part of the one being displayed. I don't however have any data to back this up.

Being new to the ASP.NET arena I am also wondering how to go about configuring some global functions. I would like to have several functions that would be used at various points int he site and am htinking that the global.asax might be a good way to make them available as well.

While I am on the subject of global things on a web site, what about instances of classes? I was considering creating a class of User that I could us through out the site, but I am at a loss as to where I would creat an instance of it, as well as when I would destroy it. It would be handy to simply create a an instance of it on my login page, then have it worry about user validation to the DB on the backend, returning a property for authenticated or not, but how to I take care of it when the user 'logs off' so to speak.

Thanks for any insight anyone here can provide...

I was thinking of the same. Although I havent worked with Cookies I think that will be the best option. Then use the variables you stored to recreate a User class for the page on load. Thats sounds like the "logical" way to do it.

Maybe the User instance class can be set as a Session Variable, that could work too I think....So we would retrieve Cookie values at session start make User class, validate with DB , and persist it for the remainder of the session.

I would probably have a look at this over the weekend, so if I find more info I will let you know Smile | :)

No idea which would be the faster way of using global values but I'd imagine Global.asax is the least bug-prone (not relying on you to remember to include it). You can also use a module for things like this.

The same applies to functions.

As for user verification, it's worth SERIOUSLY considering Forms Authentication. Takes all the work out of it for you.

This article[^] is quite a complicated example and it's still a lot more simple than coding a cheap and nasty authentication yourself Smile | :)

.

There's a nice explanation of Forms Authentication in O'Reilly's Inside ASP.NET if you have access to Safari.

I was going to consider this. If I create a module, doe sit matter where I create it? Can I assume that puting it in any directory is ok as long as I make the functions that it contains public?

Paul Riley10-Oct-02 12:11

10-Oct-02 12:11

I don't see why it wouldn't work if it's in the same application as the calling page somewhere. I've only ever used a module where all my pages are in one folder, so don't quote me on that, but so long as it's in the right namespace it should be fine. Even if it's not, you can probably reference it.
