I'm currently patching an asp.net program where I need to be able to send an image to an SQL Server 2005 DB. It works fine when I use the asp:fileupload control, but the trick is that when the user deletes the image, I'm supposed to replace it with an image from the server saying "empty", in code-behind. I know how to open, use and save...
OK - I have worded this search 40 different ways and I seem to be lost here. Every example I find seems so happy that you can easily drag and drop a datagrid and let the user fill it in -- then they stop! I know how to do everything I am asking through LINQ. That obviously won't translate here. I really should have learned ADO.NET first...

I was mystified to find out that the reason why the query wasn't returning any values, and someone here showed me how to troubleshoot the query to verify things were being returned, which they...
I can't seem to find a way to get just the locator object of a column under .Net. It seems that Informix is automatically converting the blob column to Byte[] and not leaving a way to change that behavior. IBM.Data.Informix.IfxConnection c = new IBM.Data.Informix.IfxConnection("..."); c.Open(); IBM.Data.Informix.IfxCommand c...

I've created a two-worksheet template in Excel - the first sheet is for pretty charts, and the other sheet is for the data that drives those charts. I've written a vb.net 2005 app that can dump in all my data on the second worksheet, and the chart worksheet updates perfectly. I would like to do this report several times over in the sam...

Using ASP.NET 3.5 with VB codebehind. I don't want to use a webservice to populate an autocomplete extender on a textbox. In this case, it's where the user is entering email addresses and I don't want to make a trip to the database every single time. I'd much rather keep a collection in session state and 'bind' the autocomplete to tha...
I'm new to MVC and Business Objects but I'm struggling to understand how to trigger a refresh on a form when an update occurs in my business logic. This isn't an issue for 95% of my forms because they call the update from the form that needs to be updated. However, In some cases an inner form does and update that requires an outer form...

One thing I have left to do is some validation to make sure that the address has enough information to return a result back. For the application, the level of accuracy should be as loos...
I've written a small utility function for our base page, it works fine in most cases, but if it's called in the form SetDropDownValue(dropdown, Nothing, True) I have to specify the type T. Since the compiler only requires a type specified when the type is not used, I'm wondering if there is a better way to write the code. The method is...
