I have a datagrid that returns information back two tables


table 1
activityID Key unique
Activity Nvarchar(50)

table 2
tbl2id Key unique
resortID Int(4) linked to the resort table
activityID int(4) linked to table1.activityID

I can return the details but they write in the
datagrid as

activity1
activity2
activity3

instead of as

activity1 activity2 activity3

what is the simplest way to format the datagrid for this layout
i have to do this in a few places.

gotta love it when you research a weird error you're getting and microsoft says this.

SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET debugger to debug an ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) application that contains Transact-SQL code, you may receive the following error message:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: General network error. Check your network documentation.
You may notice this behavior when you restart Microsoft SQL Server while debugging the ADO application.
Back to the top Back to the top

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

...

BY DESIGN?

ok, microsoft. you win today. :|

anyways, on a related but not so related note.. our middle tier component that handles data connections started giving us the infamous "General network error. Check your network documentation." upon an executenonquery call on a stored procedure after we applied service pack 4 on SQL Server. anyone know why oh why SP4 is doing this?

please enlighten while i sniff out the chatter on the .NET boards.

Is there any way to prevent HtmlAnchor from mangling your URLs? I want it to render exactly what I put there.

I have /trail.ascx, which renders an and exposes the properties Href and InnerText. I'm using it in /admin/user.aspx. Unfortunately, HtmlAnchor thinks it's going to be "smart" and prepend all my URLs with "../". Apparently it thinks links should be relative to the user control, not the web form. Which is bogus.

It won't even let me attempt to treat the a element as an HtmlGenericControl!
The base class includes the field 'mylink', but its type (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl) is not compatible with the type of control (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlAnchor).

I'm more ranting than asking for help, but it would be nice if they fixed this.

I am looking at formatting a DataGrid in the following format

Header
Sub Catagory
Sub Catagory Details
Sub Catagory 2
Subcatagoty Details 2
Sub Catagory 3
Sub Catagory Details 3

The the header is always displayed as are the sub catagory
headers when we click sub catagory 2 for example the viewstate
will change without refreshing the page and display the details
for sub catagory 2.

So in a DataGrid Can i change the Viewstate of individual parts of
the datagrid?

Is it just css thats used to format the Datagrid?

Hello again.. have any of you found good asp.net 2.0 books or tutorials since the last time I posted? I purchased 2..

Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 Databases Beta Preview
This was a decent intro but it was a bit repetitive which made it a lil boring and it was terribly riddled with errors. Many were so obvious -- it made me wonder if anyone proofread the final draft.

ASP.NET 2.0 Developer's Notebook by Wei-Ming Lee
I really like this book. It had lots of examples and most of them worked. It covers many asp.net 2.0 subjects including personalization, web parts, themes & skins, etc. The faked coffee cup stains also add a nice touch ;)

What about you?

After having put a project of mine on hold due to time constraints with school and work, as well as technical issues involving my own stupidity (You'd laugh if I told you, seriously, I'm so brain dead some times), I've gotten back to trying to muddle my way through ASP.NET.

So my "Totally Obvious Question of the Day"TM is this: I've got a library file that I want to include in my webform, but I can't find the commands to actually include the file.

It's always the easy stuff that gets me. *sigh*

Thanks!

I am used to developing web project, but right now I am writing a windows service. I need something that is equivalent to web.config where I can store keys and things like that. I've created a .config file but I am unsure of how to reference it in my code....
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings(key) is not working. Or maybe I need to name my config file something specific?
This is not difficult, I am just inexperienced with this stuff. Please enlighten!
Thanks!

I had this conversation with FastHosts. Clearly they are either refusing to acknowledge my problem or I am being a bit thick. Please help me someone. I have included the conversation below, with my questions and responses in bold:

Here is an odd problem. When I run my ASP.Net on any server it works. When I run it on my fasthost server everything works except session variables do not persist across pages. Please resolve! It is probably an IIS setting that I can-not set programmatically.

Can you provide further information, including full replication steps on how we can see the fact that the session variables are being lost.

http://www.damn-them.com/login.aspx

username = tester@pcarney.me.uk
password = fish
then click "click here to submit details".

It sets the session variable "level" to 1 everywhere else but on fasthosts, which means that the page redirects to nothing I can use on your server. As I've said, It is MOST probably an IIS setting that I cannot change programmatically. Please resolve as this call should NOT be closed.

The domain is incorrectly configured, as the path to the site appears to be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot which is incorrect on our servers. This should be e:\domains\d\damn-them.com\user\htdocs

Please configure it correctly such that I might use session variables. It is after all a standard feature of ASP.

The problem is with your scripts - please re-configure them.

I do not use that anywhere in my scripts, compile or otherwise. Please give me access to the domain mapping so I might set it myself.

I have no idea unfortunately. I did take a look at the web.config file but couldn't see anything in there, I would advise you to contact the devel-opers of the software.

Here is the debug information:

Row handle is invalid.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Row handle is in-valid.

System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +33
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +1292

The path to your web folder is e:\domains\d\damn-them.com\user\htdocs. I would recommend you rebuild your application as this is clearly a scripting error.

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ is the path on the server it was build and it is pro-duced in line with the DLL and symbol debugging code. It does NOT pertain to physical files. I would like someone else to check my IIS settings please.

Unfortunately, IIS settings on the Shared Hosting servers are set up correctly, and cannot be changed. The path within your .Net Application will need to be updated if it is to be used on the Fasthosts servers.

I remain wholly unconvinced considering that the debug information re-ports symbolic debugging information at the time of compilation. Is there anyone there who actually knows about ASP.Net 1.1 and the necessary configuration for IIS?

Share your most annoying code stories.
Here's one from a few minutes ago!
There used to be this programmer here who would write the worst code. Ever. Things like this:

Dim dgDatagrid1 as DataGrid
If not isTrue Then
'do nothing <---(he would actually type that)
Else
x = y
End If
200 lines of else ifs instead of a case statement...

So things like that. For some reason I just get so frustrated and mad when I see this code... so I was playing with the stapler and my coworker called me over to show me some more of the bad code - i had my finger under the stapler and when i saw the code i stapled my finger out of sheer shock and anger!
Like, seriously. It's bleeding.

Hello,
I'm totally new to ASP.NET and I'm starting with 2.0. BTW, I bought both the Wrox Book "Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 Databases" and it was okay -- it was a little slow and had a few annoying mistakes but overall the code is decent for referencing. I also picked up the O'reilly book ASP.NET 2.0 A Developer's Notebook by Wei-Meng Lee. It seems like one of the better books available and I'm looking forward to reading it.

I have a simple question that should be easy to answer. I'm making a hidden field (
Btw, regarding my last post, we ended up using paging to take only the top 5.

Hello all,
MSDN has some ASP.NET Events coming up.. I have a feed specifically set for California but they may be near your town too. RSS feeds can be found here: http://www.msdnevents.com/rss/customFeeds.aspx

Now I have a question about ASP.NET 2.0. My friend and I are both classic asp developers getting our feet wet with asp.net 2.0. To practice, we are making a portal with some web parts and some of the parts will just be RSS headlines. We have code that works very well but we'd like to limit the results to 5 per feed.. I've looked into using XSL to do the limitation but it seems so bulky. Does anyone have an elegant suggestion? We've scrolled through all of the properties but can't find anything :\
