I have written an ASP.Net/MySQL application that runs on a dedicated WinXP box. This application is used on a mining machine that operates in a remote location (no internet connectivity of any kind). Raw data is fed into the MySQL database from the PLC that runs the machine. The ASP.Net code...

I have an iPAQ Windows Mobile device and I am trying to set up synchronization with Outlook 2007 running on WinXP SP2. The sync setup proceeds normally, but when the sync reaches the "Synchronizing" phase, it appears to enter a forever loop. It does not exchange any information and never...

I have created a simple ASP.Net report that is basically a single instance of an ASP:Table object. I am populating it "manually" using TableCell and TableRow objects because there is a substantial bit of computation that goes into each row. My question is this - how do I get it to paginate...

Hi All, I am creating a pair of applications that essentially transfer data from a remote client to a local server. The trick is that "remote" in this application means "way out in the mountains where it takes an hour by four wheel drive to reach the nearest paved road and don't even talk to me...

Thanks for the offer, Oddball. I think I will wait and see before jumping through that hoop. This application has a very limited audience (fewer than a dozen individuals). It seems that there is a good possibility that I will be able to get away with PNG files. FYI: the graphics are...

The PNG format works great. Thank you. Dave Gee

I have an application that is generating graphics on the fly from user input and database content. There is an issue involving the quality of the displayed image. ** If I save the image as a BMP, it looks great but the image is 1650Kb and loads slowly. ** If I save the image as a JPG, the...

Thanks, Jim for the tip. To make this work, my code looks like this: Dim sMap As String Dim qt As String = Chr(34) Image1.Attributes.Add("USEMAP", "#ClickMap") sMap = "<MAP name=" & qt & "ClickMap" & qt & ">" & vbCrLf ... construct graphic image in a loop ... ... including calculating...

I am sure there must be a way to do this, but I have been reading the books & sites for hours with no luck. Please enlighten me. I am creating a bitmap image in code using GDI+ and displaying it on my page with an <asp:image .../> tag. What I want to do is to make parts of the image...

Yes - I have tried Fields!bitvar.value The complaint from the compiler is: The value expression for the textbox ‘bitvar’ contains an error: [BC30201] Expression expected. Dave Gee

I have a query that returns a large number of fields of data type "bit". I would like to display those on my report using text different from the default "True" or "False". The BOL has proven useless on this question. I have tried this: =if(Fields!bitvar,"Y","N") but the compiler barked at...

I have a user with a Dell Zxim X51V. It is exhibiting a behavior where it won't turn on (no matter how long you hold the "on" button) unless she removes the battery and then replaces it. Tech support advised her to soft reset the device, but this has had no effect on the behavior. Any...

It's not necessary to get testy. Remember - you traversed this learning curve too... For the benefit of those who come after me, here's what I was missing: To programmatically add controls to an ASP.NET page, write code in the page startup routines, not in the HTML. 1) In HTML, place an...

Thanks for the tip, Jim. It isn't quite what I need, though. The application I am working on is a browser-based app and the code is running on the server. The System.Web.UI.Button control is a client side control. I tried this: <asp:Button ID="Temp" Text="Edit"...

This feels like it is too obvoius to ask, but I have been stymied in trying to find an answer by reading the docs... I want to create a series of buttons in a loop, with each button passing a parameter to the handler to distinguish it from the others. <%for i = 0 to ButtonCount%>...
