I am currently having serious issues connecting to a FoxPro database using an ODBC connection from IIS7.5 The database is on another machine than the IIS server and is accessed via a fileshare. When I call the webpage from IE on the IIS server everything works fine. When I call the webpage...

Hi, I have recently been looking at the new Entity Framework included with .NET 3.5 SP1 and NHibernate. These seem to do similar things. Which do you think is the better option to go with as I don't want to start down one path and then find I should have gone the other? James :-) James Culshaw

Make sure you use the Redirect method and not the Server.Transfer as I forgot about the fact that although the page looks like another page, if you hit refresh, it issues the previous postback.[blush] James :-) James Culshaw

You could cheat and use a typed dataset. If you are using VS2005 then the IDe will do most (if not all) of the work creating methods and classes for you. BTW, I'm not advocating this as the best method, just an easy option to do what is being talked about in this post. James :-) James Culshaw

I normally just run Windows/Microsoft Update and choose the custom option. This usually then has something like 'Root Certificates Update' as an option. The following document gives quite some details on certificates and their updating amongst other things...

Sometimes the machine that the browser is running on needs to have it's root certificates updated. This usually is done via Microsoft Update. This happened to me and that was the solution. If that doesn't fix the issue I would view the certificates details you need to see when the certificate...

Hi, I have an ASP.NET application that runs on its own dedicated server. About 4 weeks ago it started to respond to quite a few requests with request timed out errors. It has steadily degraded to the point where it is basically unavailable 90% of the time. As you may guess this has become a...

Hi, I have released a new version of DataAide (http://dataaide.sourceforge.net) and I am looking for people to play around with it and provide me some useful feedback via the SourceForge page in terms of bugs and what features you would like changed or added. The project is open source and so...

You don't get this issue if you are using codebehind as the VB.Net/C# code is already compiled. I would switch to using codebehind if you already haven't. It also makes you code easier to manage as it seperates the code from the presentation i.e. the VB from the HTML. If that still doesn't...

Hi, I Right-click on the project in the solution explorer or choose the references option from the project menu no windo apperas and no eror occurs. Absolutely nothing happens. At the moment I am reduced to adding the references to the project by modifying the .vbproj file using notepad. James...

Hi, when I try to add a reference to my project in Visual Studio nothing happens. No window is opened, no error is raised! Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks, James ;-) James Culshaw james@miniaturereview.co.uk http://www.miniaturereview.co.uk http://www.caninerescue.co.uk

Hi, I don't know if this allowed but its not commercial marketing so here goes: I have released a code generation tool on SourceForge to generate stored procedures for a SQL Server database and then to generate VB6/C#/VB.Net Code. Its Open Source and so free. Take a look at...

You check in the OnDataBind event of the datagrid. You get access via the DataItem property of e.Item. James :-) James Culshaw james@miniaturereview.co.uk http://www.miniaturereview.co.uk http://www.caninerescue.co.uk
