I have a repeater control where in the footer I have a DropDownList. In my code-behind I have: protected void ddMyRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { // Item binding code } else...
I have a composite control that contains a ListBox child control. On postback, the items for the ListBox disappear. I have a property for the ListBox that initializes it, and I add it to the controls collection in CreateChildControls. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to be doing something else to properly handle the viewstate of thi...
The project I'm on is using a 3rd party component to build dynamic PDFs in a VB.Net web system called ABCpdf.Net. (not a terrible tool, but not a great one either.) Every now and then, for reasons I can't fathom, the document object throws a SEHException. Digging futher, it turns out this is caused by a custom exception in the documen...
Hi all. I have run in to a bit of a problem and I have done a bit of digging, but struggling to come up with a conclusive answer/fix. Basically, I have some javascript (created by a 3rd party) that does some whizzbang stuff to page elements to make them look pretty. The code works great on single pages (i.e. no master), however, when I...
My current position is this: if I thoroughly test my ASP.NET applications using web tests (in my case via the VS.NET'08 test tools and WatiN, maybe) with code coverage and a broad spectrum of data, I should have no need to write individual unit tests, because my code will be tested in conjunction with the UI through all layers. Code cov...
My company has a large web application with over 1 million users, all written in classic ASP, and it is getting rather long in the tooth. We are trying to decide between moving to Java, or to ASP.Net, and moving to an object-oriented style. There are lots of good entry-level tutorials for JavaEE, like their First Cup tutorial that takes ...
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 [no ajax...yet] web site that will be deployed in compiled form on multiple customer sites. Typically the site will be intranet only. Some customers trust all of their people and don't care about limiting access to the site and/or page functions, others trust no one and want only certain people and/or groups to be a...
Here's a hypothetical situation I've been wondering about lately. Suppose I have an interactive page created in ASP.NET and Ajax that I want multiple users to be able to manipulate at the same time. What would be the best way to maintain this page's state? Especially if the page was relatively ephemeral, and did not particularly need ...

I want to install the same thing on my laptop win2008/sql2008/vs2008 so I can take it with me on the go. What I want to know is how would I synchronized...
Does anyone know a good open source sample ASP.Net 3.5 enterprise app which encompasses as many good 'patterns and practices' as possible while relying on latest tools and technologies? Ah, it should not be too complex either. And well documented if possible. ...
Hello All, I'm trying to build a proxy module for .NET, but I'm having trouble copying the Headers from the current request to the new request. I am setting the headers of the new request, because I want the proxy to support SOAP requests. Here is a portion of my code. I can post everything if need, but this is the only part that see...
I have an ASP.NET linkbutton control on my form. I would like to use it for javascript on the client side and prevent it from posting back to the server. (I'd like to use the linkbutton control so I can skin it and disable it in some cases, so a straight up tag is not preferred). How do I prevent it from posting back to the server? ...
I have a modal popup that initially shows some content but expands a div if a checkbox is selected. The modal expands correctly but doesn't recenter unless you scroll up or down. Is there a javascript event I can tack on to my javascript function to recenter the entire modal? ...
When debugging an application in Visual Studio, there are 2 options for breaking on exceptions. Break as soon as an exception is thrown, and breaking only when an exception isn't caught. This works fine when developing desktop applications. However, when developing ASP.NET applications, all exceptions are eventually caught by the code in...
I know how to load themes dynamically when they are stored locally. Is it possible to store theses themes in the database yet still apply them programmatically as described in referenced MSDN article? Also - If you do store them in the filesystem, is it possible to change the path of the App_Themes directory to a different location? Lik...

The Value property of that HtmlInputHidden field is on postback the default value (the value it had when the page got created, not the value reflected through th...
When I add or é to a text value of a listitem, it display the code of the HTML entity instead of the result (a space or é). I can add "physical" non-breaking spaces or special chars, but I would like to avoid that if possible. Sometimes the data stored in database is encoded, and I don't want to always process data before ...
