I want to pre-select one of those values so the user doesn't have to choose it (most of the time it will be the pre-selected value). However, when I set the ultraCombo to that value it modifies the dropdown list to contain only that single value! I've tried using...

I know I can open the file, or seek to the beginning of a file, but if I write with that, it will overwrite what's there. Do I have to write a new file and then write the other data to it line by line, or is there a better way? Example file:...
In Javascript, I have a certain string, and I would like to somehow measure how much space (in pixels) it will take within a certain element.

I have two forms. Form A has three text input; A1, A2, A3. Form B has one text input, B1. Whenever you type in any of the inputs on Form A, Form B should get updated, right away, with all three inputs from Form A. If one of the Form A inputs is empty, a 0 should replace it in B1.

I'm going to implement an Access Control List for each individual user so they can assign access to their own resources so they can hide stuff, for example, from their mothers, but show their friends. Now storing ACL in a database seems like it can get pretty insane when each user is also a group, which can have many sub groups. So I'm ...

There's no real database schema, and I have no way of knowing which keywords exists in the database without iterati...

I need to be able to determine whether the file is text or binary so I know whether to use a StreamReader or BinaryReader.
