Help with ASP.Net error: "Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory"

Vb6 "Tag" property equivalent in ASP.Net?
I'm looking for ideas and opinions here, not a "real answer", I guess... Back in the old VB6 days, there was this property called "Tag" in all controls, that was a useful way to store custom information related to a control. Every single control had it, and all was bliss... Now, in .Net (at least for WebForms), it's not there anymore.....
How do I fade a row out before postback
I have a table that is created in a DataList in ASP.Net. This table has three fields of text, then a field with an edit button, and a field with a delete button. When a person clicks the delete button, it posts back, deletes the items, and then binds the DataList again. The DataList is in an UpdatePanel so the item smoothly disappears af...

Is there any kind of file dependency tracer for Asp.Net apps?
I have an Asp.Net 2.0 (VB.Net) app and I'm trying to export a Control (ASCX) to another project. I need to know what other files that the Control needs in order to work. Is there any way - using VS.Net 2005 or an external app - to recursively trace the dependencies of a page or control in a solution? For example, for this file: ~/Cont...

If I have a control on a page that has its Datasource set to a DataReader, does that control consume the reader at the time the Datasource is set, or does the datareader continue to exist until Databind has been executed? What actually happens under the covers when Databind is executed? ...

ASP.NET session and storing objects that use COM interop
I'm working on an asp.net web site. We have to use com interop to interact with legacy vb6 activex components. The components in many cases rely on receiving a context object (which is itself a vb6 activex component) as a parameter. The context object is fairly costly to construct. Therefore one idea is that a context object is const...
Which Facebook .NET Library is the best to use?
There is a list of projects here, mainly the Facebook Developer Toolkit and Facebook.NET. However, I've seen a lot of negative feedback about the toolkit and it seems like Facebook.NET hasn't been upgraded to the latest facebook API. Are either of these worth using? Any other good libraries out there? Specifically I'm looking to use t...

Environment: Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise 64bit, SP2 .NET framework is supposedly installed (2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1) I say "supposedly" because they are listed as installed under Add/Remove programs.
