Hello, I'm trying to create a similar interface to msnbc.com, where the user can control which pagelets to display, and in what order, and allow the browser to remember the configuration in the future for return visits. Note, I'm not using actual pagelets here, but div tags that use an ASP...

Thanks Jason, I'll dive into the encapsulation concept. I'm learning .NET as a self-taught ASP Classic guy, and I think I spent more time trying to learn how to perform specific tasks than familiarizing myself with overall concepts while learning Classic. So far .NET is totally owning me. :)...

Thanks for the response, this looks good. A detail that I neglected to mention is that the user control quote_generator.ascx gets pulled into a masterpage, and not directly into default.aspx. The masterpage containing the control is then applied to default.aspx, and also to a handful of other...

Hello, I'm pretty new to ASP.NET C#, and I'm struggling with what I'd imagine is a pretty simple process. I have a page (default.aspx) that pulls in a user control (quote_generator.ascx). The user control includes a set of text boxes and dropdownlists, and a button. The button's postbackurl is...

True dat, but I've mostly found software vendors instead of educational material. I'm not sure what basic building blocks are needed and how they work together.

Hello, No rush on this, just the curiosity of a relatively new developer (ASP.NET, ASP classic)... Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn about the basics of developing a call center? Connecting a phone system to a database of some kind, automation, etc. I have no idea where to...

Thank you both. This sounds like something I could use, guitarzan.

Hello, While I know how to show/hide links to documents on an asp page using if/then statements and a list of authorized users, I'm at a loss as to how you protect the documents themselves if an unauthorized user should happen to learn the url of a word document or a PDF. Can anyone make...

Good point. Funny you should mention that, I was just having a conversation about a previous co-worker that ALWAYS went the way of the dynamic, fancy code method, and how she drove me insane because of it. I never could figure out how she came up with the loops within loops within loops that...

I think I understand. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the response.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to create a do while loop that would get the name of each field in a form, and use that name to determine which database column to write to... Doesn't have to be a do while. Any method would be great. Rather than having a processing page that reads...

Can you give me an example of how to use that property? Do I use it in the form action?

Hi, I'm trying to create a program that will contain an offline html form to enter personal information. I'd like to save that information to an XML file. All this must be done with client-side scripting, since it will be offline. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Dan

Thanks for the start. I've also read a tiny bit about Visual Basic. Would that be a good place to look as well? -Dan

Hi, I need to build a CD-ROM that allows users to enter personal information into a form, print out the information and save the information. The only way I could think to do this is through an ASP form, but I don't know if there's a way to make ASP work when running it from a CD and without...
