    - populating asp:dropdownlist programmaticallyI need to display a drop down list which holds up to 250 listitems.
      
      I'd like to create this programmatically rather than have to hardcode it
      into the page.
      
      For example
      
      <asp:DropDownList id="numYears" runat="server" name="numYears">
      <asp:ListItem Value="0" Text="0 years" Selected="true" />
      <asp:ListItem Value="1" Text="1 year"/>
      <asp:ListItem Value="2" Text="2 year"/>
      <asp:ListItem Value="2" Text="2 year"/>
      <asp:ListItem Value="3" Text etc............. up to 250 years
      
      Thanks in advance..

    - I've Broken Visual Studioactually, i've broken all my web apps - I got a new pc and tried to rebuild
      the applications but I am having no luck.
      
      1) my debugger will not run - I get the unable to start debugging on the
      web server. I've added everyone i can think of to the debuggers group, my
      security looks good on the virtual directory in iis. What else could it be?
      The app runs fine if I start without debugging. Please help.
      
      2) how do I REBUILD my projects so they work. I am so frustrated with this
      I cannot tell you.

    - Online registration questionHi folks -
      
      I need a bit of help. The organization I belong to is asking me questions
      about online registration for a seminar in 2006. I know it would have to be
      some sort of a secure site because the attendees would be entering their
      charge card numbers but beyond that - clueless.
      
      What kind of things should I be looking for in a webhost? (I have one
      inmind - I just need to know the kind of things to ask about.) I don't need
      any special software, do I? Couldn't it be done with a form? Can data from a
      form be saved in the server until the registrar extracted it? It doesn't
      have to be sent as an email, does it?
      
      I did warn you- I'm clueless but willing to learn. Where can I start?

    - First Try With DataListHello, I am trying the DataList control for the first time and I am not
      able to get the information to show up in the control.
      
      I know that there is data in my data table.
      
      My DataList has a field which is bound to a column in my data table with
      the following code..
      
      <ItemTemplate>
      <asp:Button Text="Edit" CommandName="Select" Runat="server">
      </asp:Button>
       
      <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Narrative" ) %>
      </ItemTemplate>
      
      I use the following code to bind my dataList to the datatable.
      
      dlHighlights.DataSource=dtHighlights;
      dlHighlights.DataBind();
      
      The statements above execute, but no data is displayed. Any Ideas as to
      why?

    - Changing Font or Size on Navigation BarHave a link bar on my page, and cannot fit the text that I would like onto
      the buttons. The solution would be to either expand the size of the buttons,
      change the size of the font, or have two lines of text on the button (or some
      combination of the above)...problem is, I cannot figure out how to do any of
      these......the buttons are based on a theme....
      
      Can anyone help??? Thanks.

    - Postback or Click on Run-time created objectI have a database table of x elements. I need to loop through the database
      table and add a checkbox for each entry to an asp:Table object. This I can

    - Set up IIS to browse a folder on another domain controllerConsider the following scenario: we have two domain controllers in the same
      domain called dc1 and dc2. On dc2 IIS is being used for internal web
      applications and one of these applications is called 'app'. Our users browse
      to \\dc2\app to view and use the web application. This works very well.
      
      Now we wish to allow the users of this web application to browse a folder
      which is located on dc1. The folder is shared as 'share'. On dc1 IIS has not
      been installed.
      
      We got this working with 'Digest authentication for Windows domain servers',
      but that requires the user to log in every time they wish to use the web
      application. And that is not what they want.
      
      Is it possible to use 'Integrated Windows authentiction' and still be able
      to browse that folder on dc1?
      
      We have tried many scenarios, but every time the result is the same; the
      user cannot browse the folder on dc1. For example:
      
      1. We created a virtual directory that is redirected to \\dc1\share.
      
      2. We created a directory at the hard disk under the root directory of the
      web application and redirected that directory to \\dc1\share.
      
      3. We used a test server dc3, installed IIS, created a virtual directory in
      the default web site that looks at a local directory. At dc2 we repeated
      exercises 1 and 2 by redirecting to http://dc3/virtualdirectory.
      
      We are currently at a loss. What else can we do to accomplish this?

    - page life cycle problemI have a textbox in a form that saves information to a database. A linkbutton activates a function from the user's click to save
      the data. A leading string of text is added to the content before saving.
      
      I want to retrieve the saved info and have the retrieved data displayed when the page reloads.
      
      I can't get the retrieved data to display. I can only get the old version of a previous save .
      
      How do I save then retrieve the correct version in the postback -- any examples in vb would help

Re: Detecting if Acrobat Reader is installed on Client machine

Ken

You have to detect this from the client script:

http://www.dithered.com/javascript/acrobat_detect/index.html

However, once you determine the presence/absence of Acrobat, you can pass
that information using client-side script to a server-side control to be
submitted to the server.

    - Can't remove cookies!Hi,
      
      I have a login page where if the user wants his access codes to be saved are
      set into a cookie. In the logout page, I want to delete those cookies. I
      tried this and this is not working at all:
      
      if (Request.Cookies[COOKIE_USER] != null
      && Request.Cookies[admin.COOKIE_PSWD] != null)
      {
      Response.Cookies[COOKIE_USER].Value = null;
      Response.Cookies[COOKIE_PSWD].Value = null;
      Response.Cookies.Remove(COOKIE_USER);
      Response.Cookies.Remove(COOKIE_PSWD);
      }
      
      If I do a response.write like this right after or on another page, it shows
      that the cookies are still set:
      
      Response.Write((Request.Cookies[COOKIE_USER] == null) + " " +
      Request.Cookies[COOKIE_USER].Value + " ");
      Response.Write((Request.Cookies[COOKIE_PSWD] == null) + " " +
      Request.Cookies[COOKIE_PSWD].Value);
      
      Why is this not working? How do we remove user's cookie?
      
      Thanks

    - Recent internet explorer update and smart navigationRecently a new windows update for internet explorer was released which
      seems to have broken stylesheets with smart navigation.
      
      The first request for the page works fine, but any subsequent postbacks
      when smart navigation is applied results in internet explorer not
      applying the style sheet.
      
      Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution as at the moment
      I've had to disable smart navigation on the page.

    - Intellisense for asp controls stopped working in VS2005 for one siteHello,
      
      I have been working on a site in VS2005, and have noticed that the
      autocomplete has stopped working for asp controls. If I type...
      
      <a
      
      in an .aspx file, then I get a list of possible XHTML elements in the
      intellisense dropdown, but none of the ASP.NET server controls (which
      are normally listed, starting with asp:).
      I get the autocompletion in one file on the site, but not the majority.
      If I type the name of a control by hand, say...
      
      <asp:Repeater>
      
      then it closes the tag for me, but doesn't give me any intellisense.
      
      It looks like the problem is only occurring with pages that don't have a
      code-behind file, but I'm not 100% sure of this. Is there some reason
      why it wouldn't show server controls for a file without a code-behind?
      Seems odd.
      
      Any ideas what could be causing this? TIA

      As I mentioned, this works when I use the windows client to access the
      web service, but when I try to access the web service using NUnit, I
      get the following exception :
      
      System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException occurred
      Message="Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.\r
      \nParameter name: Policy 'ClientPolicy' is not configured in the
      system"
      Source="Microsoft.Web.Services3"
      ParamName="Policy 'ClientPolicy' is not configured in the system"
      
      This seems to imply that the system can't find or load the appropriate
      config file. But I fail to see why. Both the files are present in the
      project directory. I've also copied both the config files to the
      directory where the Nunit project file (and the dlls being tested) are
      present. I've also tried copying it to the directory where the
      NUnit.exe itself is located, but it doesn't make any difference. I've
      added references to both "Microsoft.Web.Services3" and
      "System.Configuration" modules in both my projects (windows client,
      NUnit test class).
      
      Any help regarding this would be much appreciated. Is there something
      I am doing wrong/missing here or is this an inherent problem with
      NUnit?
      
      Thanks in advance.

    - Page RefreshHi there,
      
      haven't touched my ASP.NET app for some time, but looking back at it now I
      see there ought to be a better way of handling one of its functions.
      
      I have two list boxes, where items in the Left hand box can be moved to the
      Right hand box using buttons:
      
      Add
      Remove
      
      also there are move up and down buttons to change the order in which the
      items in the right hand box appear.
      
      Now it is these buttons that are painfully slow as I don't know how to
      implement drag and drop, so one has to click it up or down one row at a
      time, plus each click causes the complete screen to refresh itself each
      time, and so it goes blank and then comes back with the item moved.
      
      It is of course my inexperience in these matters that is letting me down
      here, so can someone please give me some pointers on how to make this
      function even a little more elegant?
      
      Many thanks in advance

    - Trying to migrate an anonymous profile to an authenticated oneHi
      
      I'm having trouble with using Profile.GetProfile(e.AnonymousID) from the
      profile_MigrateAnonymous event handler. I'm trying to implement this in a
      code behind file for Global.asax but Profile.GetProfile() is not defined. I
      understand that this could be related to Profile being a class generated at
      run time and therefore I cannot use it at compile time? How do I work around
      this? Global.asax is not permitted to have a <script> section and a
      code-behind file.
      
      Thanks

    - DatesHello all,
      
      we have an app with works across the globe, and therefore dates are
      displayed in a number of formats, such as dd/MM/yyyy (uk) and MM/dd/yyyy
      (usa). When our app has it's language set to ENGLISH everything works fine,
      but when it's set to AMERICAN the dates fail as we're trying to cast a date
      such as 16/04/2007 to a US DateTime.
      
      What I need to know is, no matter what culture/language you're in how do you
      cast the dates a date dd/MM/yyyy.
      
      Thanks,

    - Events Not Firing On Hosted SiteHello,
      
      I'm just now learning how to deploy a simple, working ASP.NET application
      developed in VS.NET 2002 that runs
      fine on my workstation running IIS.
      
      When I copy the project files over to the host site, the page appears okay
      in the web browser, but none of the events seem to fire. I have a button
      that, when pressed, is supposed to set the .text property of a label to the
      current date. However, its
      click event doesn't seem to be firing. Also, the page_load event for the
      page doesn't seem to be firing when the page
      is loaded.
      
      Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    - FP won't delete pages on webWhen I publish to the web using FP2002 it will not delete the pages on the
      web so, I have to go to the website and recaculating hyperlinks and that
      fixes the problem. The problem is that when I edit my web on my Computer
      which is usually every day then, publish to the site I still have to go to
      the web to fix the problem. I should not have to edit up on the site after
      publishing from my Computer every time. I have reinstalled Office XP and
      reinstalled, Updated Office and did a publish of every page from the web to
      my Computer. Help Please.

    - Update window.returnValue from Server SideIs there a way for me to update this returnValue from server side?
      (without depending on JavaScript or injecting any JavaScript).
      
      Besides:
      
      If I use RegisterStartupScript, do I need to de-register it? If yes,
      when?
      
      TIA.
