A client wants to "Web-enable" a spreadsheet calculation -- the user to specify the values of certain cells, then show them the resulting values in other cells.

I would like to know if there is a good source of documentation for creating Asp.Net Templated Databound Controls or code samples for simple controls.

Right now I use Gravatar for user avatars on my website. I want to let users upload images to use as avatars from my website to gravatar so they don't have to visit gravatar if they choose not to, and I don't have to support multiple avatar methods.

I have been learning ASP.NET by experimenting, watching videos on ASP.NET, and reading forums. I haven't found a quick solution to this though. Whenever I add the "login" or "createuserwizard" from the toolbox it always adds the new users to a database known as "ASPNETDB.MDF" even if I specify the remote database using a new SqlDataSou...

I've got a custom web part with Accordion panes from the AJAX Control Toolkit as children that are used to render a site map hierarchy. Each pane includes a div with text input and 3 LinkButtons used to edit the sitemap data: "Add Child", "Update", and "Delete". Currently, all these controls are created in the overridden CreateChildCon...
Hello, A) Question below is based on the assumption that controls are always binded to data source controls in the order they are declared? So in our example SqlDataSource1 will connect to data source prior to SqlDataSource2 and thus lstCities will be populated with values before GridView1, and reason for that being that lstcities was...
